### 5/5 — Please keep this app in development.   It rocks!!

*2024-08-13*

Best layout and UI around for what it is.   Please keep it in development.   Perhaps a 1x charge.   Would pay that happily.

### 3/5 — Alarm sound seems to be working again

*2020-01-11*

Update:  After the developer replied with a very defensive and passive-aggressive retort to my review, I tried the app again. 

His/her response - "You are the first person to complain about something like this. Clearly, there is no such problem for anybody else."

I was not the first person to complain that the alarms were not audible unless having the app running in the foreground. If you look at the reviews, there are 3-4 people saying the exact same thing I said.  I’ve had the app for years and it used to work, then it stopped working. 

I just tested it again and it seems to be working so I’m updating my review. 

To the developer - Unless you are a 12-year-old, I suggest you take the information in these reviews as constructive feedback and maybe look into their complaints. Instead,  negative reviews seem to just draw childish and defensive replies about the reviewer being a liar or incompetent.  I guarantee that there are no fake or deceitful reviews just trying to tarnish the good name of the KitchenPad app. Relax a bit. 

Original Review: Unless the app is open, the alarm won’t work. Huge flaw.

### 2/5 — Can no longer change alarm tones.

*2019-08-22*

Used to be able to, but no longer, or they do a good job of hiding how to do it.

### 5/5 — Best app ever for Thanksgiving!

*2019-03-12*

I’ve had the iPad version since it was first released. I can’t imagine ever again making the thanksgiving meal without it! And it gets better with each update. Have recommended it many times.

### 2/5 — 2 huge flaws

*2018-10-31*

First off, it’s a great concept but it has two giant flaws. Unlike the built in iOS timer, your phone must be on ring to have sound go off. I find this very annoying as my phone is always on vibrate except for alarms and timers. 
Also, the alarm does not repeat. I can barely hear the timer go off when it’s in my pocket, and when it does, it makes noise for about 10 seconds and is done. 
I’d pay $2 more if these two issues could get fixed. If not, I wish I could get my money back. Whomp. Whomp.

### 5/5 — KitchenPad

*2018-05-30, version 4.0.6*

Great design, great function. I have been using this app for some years. I would not be without it. Installing it on my iPad now (is on my phone too). I like the choice of alarms too.

### 5/5 — I. Love. This. App.

*2017-10-22*

My other use: multiple washers/dryers at the laundromat...

### 5/5 — New life for this app!

*2017-04-02, version 4.0.5*

This app was recently acquired by a new developer, and they have restored it to its former glory, and then some. 

Tons of options. Love the new foghorn alarm sound. :-)

### 5/5 — Best timer I use

*2017-04-02*

I have this app on a 4s Iphone that is only for kids to play apps under now, under a different Apple ID. It is still very functional. But since wanting it on my current Iphone for a long time, I bought it finally. Considering I time even brushing my teeth and rinsing my mouth...I can never have enough timers! And mostly I time my food as it cooks or bakes. So when an alarm goes off I know I must tend to something. This app lets you KNOW what needs your attention as long as you input what you are cooking. (pennybinker)

### 5/5 — Very Nice!

*2017-03-30, version 4.0.5*

Extremely well done app, by far the best of it's kind. I highly recommend!
