Big Roast Timer
Read full descriptionHide full description
Big Roast Timer is a little app for timing your roast dinners. Select the meat, select the weight, and when you want to be done by and the app will do the rest. Well, okay, not quite the rest. You'll still have to do the cooking, and the putting things in, and taking stuff out bits. In fact, all it'll really do is let you know when you have to do something; but if that sounds helpful then this is the app for you. If you're wondering why 'Big', it's because there's a tiny version for your wrist too.
