If you bring up instructions you can’t go back to Home Screen, not the same set up as before, just not great now. Will download another. ### 2/5 — Update made things worse *2025-08-17, version 4.0* I used to like this app a lot and used it every time I boiled eggs and they always turned out perfect. But with the new update, everything’s changed, from the instructions to the timer and everything just got so confusing. I don’t know why you took something good and changed it to make it worse ### 3/5 — More options for timer *2020-08-18, version 3.5* The app is awesome but you should have more options for when picking timer not every one eat a boiled scrambled poached or fried egg I like omelettes and would like a timer fir that and maybe there should be a timer for baked eggs too ### 1/5 — Not what it used to be *2019-11-28, version 3.4* Set the timer and no alarm to say the timer was up. Don’t waste your time. ### 2/5 — What have you done to a good App *2019-11-15, version 3.3* The old version was great and this updated version simply does not work. Luckily I remembered roughly what to do and just managed to get the timer on. ### 5/5 — Worked fine for me. Watch app? *2019-11-11, version 3.3* No problems here, though it would be nice to have a watch app. ### 1/5 — Change it back! *2019-08-14, version 3.2* This used to be a good app, but since the latest update it is awful. Will probably just delete it again as it is no help, especially doing boiled eggs where you can’t see what’s going on in the egg. In the steps it doesn’t state exactly WHEN to start the timer. ### 1/5 — Used to be a good app *2019-07-09, version 3.1* Loved this app once. Won’t use it now and deleting it. Doesn’t format on iPad to horizontal like it used to. Recipes don’t match photos well... was good now not. Don’t use, there are better ones out there. ### 1/5 — Timer 0:00 *2019-06-18, version 3.0* Timer00000 ### 4/5 — worked wonderfully *2019-06-18, version 3.0* the timer worked which is surprising because everyone else said it didn’t. the only thing i’d tweek is when you tap on whatever you’d like to make and it gives you instructions on all of the steps it says start timer and for me never using this app before i thought was a bit confusing but then at almost the last step it said start timer. but overall that was probably just a mistake i made, i do enjoy this app though ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ruined the instructions *2026-04-03, version 4.2.1* The instructions were fine. Then they changed it to n tell you only to put the eggs in the water after it’s boiling. That doesn’t work and is inconsistent with their website. ### 1/5 — Ruined the app! *2026-01-03, version 4.2.1* The instructions were clear and my eggs came out perfect each time. Now you change the instructions and the boiling method and my soft boiled eggs came out over done. Don’t fix what isn’t broken. Uninstalling. ### 1/5 — Ruined a good thing *2025-11-28, version 4.2.1* I’ve used to app for close to a decade, but recently they have changed the instruction from tried and trusted method to a useless method. No consistency of the eggs, cracked eggs are the norm with the current method. Ruined a good thing for nothing. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-10-23, version 4.1* Locks in the instruction screen and can’t start the timer unless I ### 1/5 — Ruined the app! *2025-09-18, version 4.1* The instructions were clear and my eggs came out perfect each time. Now you change the instructions and the boiling method and my soft boiled eggs came out over done. Don’t fix what isn’t broken. ### 1/5 — Updates Worse *2025-09-09, version 4.0* Why did you update this app haha. It was literally perfect and now it’s unusable. Roll it back and I’ll reinstall. Deleting app now though it’s so annoying to work with. Would rather google cook time and use my timer. ### 1/5 — Was a 5 star now a one Why the changes *2025-07-13, version 4.0* Your update removed the medium selection from hard boiled eggs. Been using this for several years. Now I will delete your app. ### 1/5 — Limited and mostly pointless options. *2024-05-03, version 3.6* Soft boiled eggs are probably the trickiest eggs to get right, that should definitely be an option, but nope, yet there’s hard boiled? You can’t over hard boil an egg. Scrambled is an option? Just use your eyes. Sunny side up/fried? Just use your eyes. Poached is an option though which I understand since they can be tricky, probably the only smart choice from the app devs. I’ll give it one star because it is functional, but otherwise nearly entirely useless. ### 1/5 — User unfriendly *2023-02-11, version 3.6* I used to use this to search for recipes a long time ago. Not anymore because it will not display as landscape; only portrait and that is most inconvenient. ### 1/5 — Do not download this *2021-01-16, version 3.5* Followed the directions and my eggs were raw, ruined my Saturday. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Reliable *2026-02-06, version 4.2.1* My eggs turn out exactly how I want every time. I like the added recipes too ### 5/5 — Solid app *2025-10-13, version 4.1* Honestly just a joy to use. ### 5/5 — The perfect egg *2025-08-11, version 4.0* I’ve had this app for over a year and it doesn’t disappoint. It makes the perfect egg in a cup using the 6 minute option. ### 5/5 — Fun update *2025-07-27, version 4.0* Really enjoy all the how-to videos and the different ways to cook my eggs ### 5/5 — Great Timer *2025-07-22, version 4.0* Love the new design and the addition of the jammy egg ### 5/5 — Amazing *2025-04-27, version 3.6* Love this dang app its so helpful ### 5/5 — Yummy *2025-01-26, version 3.6* Great egg timer, would be good if had small egg option! Had this app for years really good and simple to use!!! ### 5/5 — Not sure what’s going on with the negative reviews *2022-10-15, version 3.6* Delivered perfectly good soft boiled eggs for me. ### 5/5 — I burn water. *2022-04-28, version 3.6* I’ve never been great at boiling eggs. For whatever reason it’s the one food that always laughs at me as I try to cook it. This have been my SAVIOR for years now! I can make soft, medium and hard boiled with no worries. I even learned how to make a beautiful poached egg for eggs Benedict! I highly recommend giving this a try. Also, love the recipes page!! ### 5/5 — I love eggs and I LOVE this app! *2020-09-26, version 3.5* I was sceptical at first because the mode for making a soft boiled egg was a little different than I learned from my mom. But, that method was hit or miss and my soft boiled eggs were sometimes too runny or too hard. I tried the timer this morning and OMG...the most perfect soft boiled egg I’ve ever had!!! Plus, when the timer goes off it’s a chicken clucking, how AWESOME is that! This is my now favourite app! (To the person who gave it 3 stars because it didn’t include a timer for omelette, ummm, do you even know how to make omelettes?) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
