Works Perfectly as Claimed ! Easy as Pie ! Perfect hard boiled eggs the First Time ! :-) Worth the money & Easy is Good. Remember : KISS Keep it Simple Stupid . They did it Best ! Can't say enough !
Don't waste your time with other egg timer apps. This is the one.
My soft boiled eggs are perfect each time -- assuming I input the egg size, temperature and altitude correctly. The only issue I have is that there is no auto rotate on the iPad. The timer app is upside down on my iPad using my case as a stand. Also no portrait mode, only landscape. Even with the above flaw, it is still the best, most scientific egg timer I've used.
No grey yokes! Perfect yellow!
I'm excited about this app, as I love soft yolks and don't much care for hard-boiled, but I haven't yet gotten to try it with a real-life egg, so I'm tentatively giving the app a three. To all the people who are having trouble with overcooking, did you set your altitude correctly? Water boils at a lower temperature at higher altitudes. For example, I live in Tulsa, which isn't exactly the roof of the world, but my water boils almost four degrees cooler than at sea level. Significant with something as finicky as an egg.
Update of my review: I purchased the app more than a year ago and used is a few times. The user interface looks nice but is unusable. There was no update fixing the tons of issues with the timer. I got another (free!) egg timer now. I am not using this app any more. On iOS 4.x the biggest problem is likely that the app does not run in the background. When your phone rings and the timer is gone. There is another problem when the timer was started. Don't press the Back button or it will reset the running timer. This happens to me twice when the timer was already started.
Would be great but without multitasking this app is not practical at all.
This indeed is the perfect egg timer I always wanted to make soft yoke hard boiled eggs but i could never get it rite, with this app I finally can. Props to the developers I love this app its my favorite its a $1.99 well spent thank you. Im too lazy to write reviews so it takes me alot to log on to the the app store just to write a review this is how much i love this app and the bell peep sounds when your eggs are done love it even more, love it , love it, love it.
I boiled my eggs to the liquid timer, but they were hard boiled. Not impressed.
Have tried every store-bought egg timer and have been disappointed until I bought this little app-have made many batches of perfect eggs using this app-am very pleased and strongly recommend this app to boiled egg lovers.
my eggs were a little runny... but i was cooking several at once. maybe it needs a multiple egg setting in the next update. also, are the times for a covered boil or an uncovered one?
Worked just as expected. This solves my ongoing problem with cooking the perfect soft boiled egg.
tried it but the eggs were hard boiled instead of soft if done as instructed. I think it might work to start the timer AND put the eggs in the water, both when the waters is boiling.
Nice app, very practical, and cheaper than a sand timer at the grocery store. Well thought out, but like the previous reviewer said it will stop timing if you lock the screen.
It would have been nice to know the timer stops when you lock your screen... This should be put as a warning when you press start. Still waiting for my eggs to cool off but I assume they are probably ruined.
