EggTimer Max
Read full descriptionHide full description
Tell EggTimer Max your egg's weight, starting temperature and how you like it done, and it calculates the exact time based on how heat actually travels through your egg โ not a generic one-size-fits-all chart. No egg app did what I wanted, so I built one that does โ and made it good-looking too. WHY IT'S DIFFERENT โข A real calculation, not a fixed countdown โ the time is computed for your egg's exact weight, starting temperature and doneness โข Three cooking methods โ boiling, steaming, or a cold-water start โ all solved with the same real calculation, so any way you cook it lands exactly right โข Cooking several eggs at once? It tells you precisely when to drop each one in, so they all reach their perfect doneness at the very same moment (Pro) โข Altitude correction โ water boils cooler up high, and the app adjusts for it via the barometer or a manual setting (Pro) ALSO INSIDE โข Choose doneness visually on the doneness indicator, from soft and runny to fully hard-boiled โข A calm, realistic boiling and steaming animation keeps you company while you wait (Pro) โข Live Activity on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island (Pro) โข Fahrenheit/Celsius and metric/imperial, automatically โข Available in English, Dutch, German, French, Spanish, Italian and Japanese EggTimer Max is free to use. A one-time Pro unlock adds multiple eggs at once, altitude correction, the Live Activity and the water animation. If it earns a place on your kitchen counter, you can also leave a small tip.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: EggTimer Max at none against Your egg timer's shown. EggTimer Max also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). Your egg timer's advantage is iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.4). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
