### 5/5 — Best app

*2025-03-25, version 1.7.4*

A great app but lately keeps saying “there are some problems try again” when editing or deleting favourites.

### 3/5 — Almost brilliant

*2024-07-04, version 1.7.4*

I use this app regularly. However the timer is useless for stand development as it stops, closing the app - super frustrating. Also the search field for film types doesn’t seem to include the manufacturer/brand so it can get a unclear if (for example) film called ‘pan 100’ exists as different emulsions from different manufacturers.

### 1/5 — You can’t leave the app or your timer is gone

*2022-03-25, version 1.7.4*

They warn you but still that’s really stupid it doesn’t do that on android

### 5/5 — Amazing resource for your darkroom!

*2019-12-02, version 1.7.4*

I really love using this app! It has dev times for most films with all popular developers with an incorporated time built in. I couldn’t live without it! 

Maybe this feature is already built in, but I’d love to see a chime or reminder sound for when you’re supposed to agitate every 30 or 60 seconds. 

Thanks for a great app!

### 3/5 — Must register to get useful functionality

*2018-08-24, version 1.7.1*

App looks really good, but you must register with your email address to actually get functionality.

### 5/5 — Very very useful

*2017-07-28, version 1.6.2*

Amazing app. Thanks so much! 
For a stress free experience don't forget to use airplane mode and turn off the timeout on your display.

### 5/5 — Superb!

*2017-05-18, version 1.6.2*

This is my go to app when developing. All the timing info you could want with really useful user contributions or just make your own combinations. Dario is very helpful too. Highly recommended.

### 5/5 — AMAZING

*2016-01-22*

One of the most complete and easy to use development chart out there, and it's free! 
11/10
