Wont Let Me Use It

All notifications set to on but its as if the app does not know it. Have to delete the app because this is useless.

So simple, but crippling bugs

This app has a bug where if you drag spin around the hour mark, you can be left with plus or minus and hour! If you started at 1:59, then spun counterclockwise, you might end up at 0:59, or 1:59, or 2:59!

Great idea

Extremely useful for cooking a big meal. I’m surprised no one thought of this idea sooner!

6 burners?

I have a 6 burner over and I want to see landscape mode.

Great app - use all the ~time~ (get it?)

Super helpful app. Straight forward and easy to use. Would like to have option for more than one timer for oven (frequently cook two dishes in there at the same time).

Genius! Quick and smart

This an incredibly efficient way to keep track of your timing while cooking. Couldnt be simpler, does exactly what is needed. Flexibility to accommodate different stovetop layouts etc. would be a plus but I couldnt bring myself to take away any stars. Well done!

No sound when the timer is finished

This app is a great idea, with a good visual interface. However, it makes no audible sounds to indicate that the timer is done! Its a completely useless timer if you cant hear the alarm go off--especially while cooking in a kitchen, which appears to be its intended use.

Very nice and Simple

I like it. It’s simple and it does just what it says. We need it in an iPad format, please.

Sound

I love the app, especially at church camp. But here lately the sound has been in and out. When time is up timer doesnt make a sound. Cant depend on it.

I hate the red dot on the icon

I havent used the app yet Im sure its great and bougie. But the red dot on the stupid app icon is so distracting. Its too bright and makes me think I have a dead pixel on the screen. Fix prz. Maybe make the dot less bright idk.

Beautiful and simple!

I just downloaded this and its beautiful - simple execution, simple and beautifully clear design. Notifications could be better (maybe I want a different sound for each burner?) and Id like it if it inhibited sleep on the phone so I could keep the timer up if I wanted to. But overall? Its beautiful, clean, and simple - well done!

Fix the alarm

Are you kidding me with this "alarm"??? I literally have to put my phone up to my ear to hear the sound! And theres no way to increase the volume! And it doesnt even vibrate. Useless if I cant actually hear the alarm.

Thumb in the way

Nice app. Love the concept. But I find my thumb is always in the way and can see what time, especially for 1-5 minute settings. Simply add a left right swipe capability below the circle to solve this.

Cool concept but needs a couple changes

Love the timer idea but... It would be great if it had a 60 second count around the outside of the circle like they have on the old timers and ability to assign different sounds and labels to each plate. And a quick add button for 30 seconds to add additional time like on a microwave. I probably wont use it much right now but will keep it on my iPhone for now and see what updates come out.

Great concept

This is a very clever and useful idea! How many times have you had your stove timer already going and then needed to time something else? I love it. :o) Suggestion: can the alarm keep ringing until we turn it off? There have been a few times that I havent heard/noticed the timer go off, and then checked my phone to see that apparently the timer ended a few minutes ago. Yikes!

Nice but needs some adjustments

I love the simplicity of the app. It has a straightforward design and its easy to use. My only and biggest concern is that when your time is up you cant hear your timer going off! This needs to be fixed if not the app is useless.

Useless

It doesnt have an alarm/alert/bell/ding to actually notify you when the timer is done. You have to leave the app open and watch the screen for when the timer is done. What good is a timer unless it notifies you when time is up?!

Allow us to name the burners, temporarily

Love this app for multitasking cooking events. It would be nice to actually name the burner, ie.. Grill, rice, pasta, potatoes, Name them temporarily while the timer is going for the actual event.

Not a good kitchen timer

First I was going to say "what?! No alarm you can hear?!" Then, after reading others posts, apparently there is one. I didnt hear mine! Next - only whole minute timing. If I have that many timing, I want to somehow mark which timer is for what.

Just okay

While the burner and oven layout is cute, without the ability to label timers this is pretty much useless to me as I have two ovens.
