## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — No chicken

*2021-10-03, version 3.0.1*

No chicken or poultry

### 1/5 — Timer

*2020-12-27, version 3.0.1*

Timer does not work in the background!!!

### 1/5 — No pork.

*2020-01-19, version 2.0.4*

Crazy. Veal and no pork.

### 1/5 — Watch app does not work

*2019-03-13, version 2.0.4*

Watch App says "No favourites found" when I already have two favourites in the iPhone app created.  Otherwise good idea.

### 1/5 — Don't waste your time

*2018-09-09, version 2.0.4*

If I could give it less than 1 star I would, I have used this app a few times and at first I thought it was me not understanding it, however after several roasts being ruined due to being undercooked I give up. It's not me it's the useless app. Every roast is the same temperature 180c regardless of weight or cut. The cooking times are always 1 hour and the roast is underdone, even for medium rare. So glad it was free because I am glad I didn't waste money on it.

### 1/5 — Not helping farmers

*2015-05-09, version 1.1.1*

Seems someone has gone to all the trouble of creating an App advertising it on every leg of lamb being sold but failed to actually test that it works - waste of everyone's time and effort

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2014-11-04, version 1.1.1*

Doesn't work. Opens a timer screen and nothing else

### 2/5 — No Pork

*2024-02-18, version 4.0.2*

Wanted to roast and time a bone in pork roast, but no pork. 

Otherwise a good app.

### 2/5 — Weight

*2021-03-30, version 3.0.1*

Couldn’t select over 2.7 kgs so useless for large roast

### 2/5 — Weight guide limitations

*2020-12-19*

This only allows a weight input if 6.3lbs.   What if your roast is larger??   I deleted the app

## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Medium roast result!

*2014-04-03, version 1.0*

Did the job, easy to use and nice interface.

### 5/5 — Perfect roasts - 3 out of 3 so far!

*2014-04-03, version 1.0*

Great app - it works well and the lamb has been perfectly cooked all three times I've used it

### 3/5 — Need bigger scales

*2020-08-31, version 3.0.1*

I like this app, but needs improvement. At very least need to have the option of a larger weight than 2.7 kg for roast meat. Get rid of the scale and let people type in the weight they have. Also, why isn’t there an option for pork?

### 3/5 — Great in theory

*2018-08-19, version 2.0.4*

Love the idea of the app, definitely shows how long to cook for.  However, unless you plan not to use your phone for the whole time the meat is in the oven, you would need to set another timer. App lost the timer half way through cooking and then I was just going on memory of timing and how long it had already been in

### 2/5 — Pretty useless

*2020-08-02, version 3.0.1*

It is essentially a countdown timer that just calculates cooking time for you. It doesn’t give any guidance around cooking temperature.

### 2/5 — No pork

*2019-07-14, version 2.0.4*

Why on earth would you have veal as an option... but no pork ?  Oink oink
