KitchenPad® Timer App revisa

Tous y est !!! 10/10

Update: After the developer replied with a very defensive and passive-aggressive retort to my review, I tried the app again. His/her response - "You are the first person to complain about something like this. Clearly, there is no such problem for anybody else." I was not the first person to complain that the alarms were not audible unless having the app running in the foreground. If you look at the reviews, there are 3-4 people saying the exact same thing I said. I’ve had the app for years and it used to work, then it stopped working. I just tested it again and it seems to be working so I’m updating my review. To the developer - Unless you are a 12-year-old, I suggest you take the information in these reviews as constructive feedback and maybe look into their complaints. Instead, negative reviews seem to just draw childish and defensive replies about the reviewer being a liar or incompetent. I guarantee that there are no fake or deceitful reviews just trying to tarnish the good name of the KitchenPad app. Relax a bit. Original Review: Unless the app is open, the alarm won’t work. Huge flaw.

Used to be able to, but no longer, or they do a good job of hiding how to do it.

I’ve had the iPad version since it was first released. I can’t imagine ever again making the thanksgiving meal without it! And it gets better with each update. Have recommended it many times.

First off, it’s a great concept but it has two giant flaws. Unlike the built in iOS timer, your phone must be on ring to have sound go off. I find this very annoying as my phone is always on vibrate except for alarms and timers. Also, the alarm does not repeat. I can barely hear the timer go off when it’s in my pocket, and when it does, it makes noise for about 10 seconds and is done. I’d pay $2 more if these two issues could get fixed. If not, I wish I could get my money back. Whomp. Whomp.

My other use: multiple washers/dryers at the laundromat...

This app was recently acquired by a new developer, and they have restored it to its former glory, and then some. Tons of options. Love the new foghorn alarm sound. :-)

I have this app on a 4s Iphone that is only for kids to play apps under now, under a different Apple ID. It is still very functional. But since wanting it on my current Iphone for a long time, I bought it finally. Considering I time even brushing my teeth and rinsing my mouth...I can never have enough timers! And mostly I time my food as it cooks or bakes. So when an alarm goes off I know I must tend to something. This app lets you KNOW what needs your attention as long as you input what you are cooking. (pennybinker)

Extremely well done app, by far the best of it's kind. I highly recommend!

I really like the concept behind this timer. The sliding temperature scale for oven temperature set is too temperamental. Reach the temperature you want, release the slider and it jumps up or down, can't get it to stop on the desired temperature.😔 Update: I decided to contact the developer directly to explain my issues with this app. I am pleased with the level of attention that was given to my concerns which ultimately lead to a resolution with this latest update. I am happy to see this app supported. I like the look and feel of this app, and it is a pleasure to use.🙂

I am very pleased with the response from the developer for this product. Just the other day, March 22, 2017, I wrote a review about my concerns with losing the KitchenPad Timer app. Now I see that there have been improvements. I was afraid to update because I thought that there would no longer be an app. But after reading about the most recent update I was encouraged and very pleased. I am happy to find that the developer has plans for more improvements in the future. Now I can cook something besides Pork and Beans - just kidding! Thank You! - and now for my previous review of March 22, 2017 >>> Afraid to update because I do not know the status of the developers/company. I've had a few developers/companies abandon or switch my app for another, rendering the app that I paid money for unable to update in the future. I am hoping that will not be the case with this one, but only "Time" will tell.

Was a free app of day -- has multiple timers on layouts like stove, broiler -- but would be more useful if could have microwave (with intensity) and slow cooker (with heat) and pressure cooker with pressure notes... Also sound are ATROCIOUS. This seems more like some class project than a serious effort to be a kitchen timer -- definitely not worth any purchase fee.

EXCELLENT!! Especially for one who is slightly ADD and new to cooking, this timer enables me to track multiple items on the stove (often 3) and in the oven (often 2) and never miss a beat, never heat nor over cook. The only change I would suggest is having more charming buzzer sound options. But the at the least the one buzzer it has cannot be ignored - so I DO react quickly! With sound options I would give this 5 stars.

The sound isn't working since I upgraded my iOS. I LOVE this app. It was the best of all the timers, until now. Please, fix it. I used to use it all the time! And I WANT to continue using it.

Unfortunately on my new iPad this will not make a sound. That is absolutely not OK for a timer. The iPad one's Version still works fine. So I still use this and would give it five stars if it worked on all of my devices.

Was a good app till someone 'improved ' it now not so much

This is a great example of how to wreck a good product. One screen timing, audible alarms, and selective temps are now gone. This is a step down, not up. How do I get the old version back? If there was a zero star rating this would qualify.

The latest update no longer gives an audible alarm at the end of a timer cycle. That renders this app useless so I deleted it. Yes, my volume is turned up and, yes, I used the most obnoxious tone I could find in settings. And yes, my iPad Air with iOS 9.2 works fine with everything else that make sound. My Pebble smartwatch has all of the timers I need now so this whole class of apps is obsolete anyway.

This app is worthless. Unless you leave your phone in the app, you get no notification of timers completed. Save your time and money and purchase Thyme instead.

KitchenPad used to work but it no longer alarms at all. Alarms work in the default Clock app, so it's clearly a KitchenPad issue. Don't waste your time going to their web site and trying to send email to them about anything. *ALL* messages to the company get marked as spam by their site on and aren't delivered. My dinner got burned because of this app and I got burned because of this company.

If your iPad screen goes blank to save power your timer does NOT alarm. I like the setup but this is not acceptable. I will delete if it is not fixed with an update soon.

As I rebuild my memory from a stroke, I needed reminders for the oven and stove. The developer thought of labeling the timers, location of burners, frequent favorites, and so attractive. Thank you.

I like the app, but one very annoying flaw, once the timer counts down and you dismiss it, it always goes back to zero and not the time you had set to begin with, that really slows me down.

If you like to cook and have multiple dishes going at once, this is a must. Has multiple burners, oven, etc... My wolf range has 1 timer, this was a must. Works perfect!

This app now works as it should. I suggest more testing next time y'all update this app.

Stopped working after IOS updated

Very hand kitchen tool, and you're ot confined to the kitchen.

I'm a really good family cook and I like this app very much. It helps get multiple dish meals all to the table on time.

It is well designed and it is cool that you can save the times for your most popular kitchen tasks. I like the multiple timers and the way it ties them to the oven and the stove diagrams That said it has some annoying short comings: - Sending feedback to the company is a pain in the a**. You have to create an account in this very clunky feedback system so I'll post here instead - No support for looping timers - Would like to see support for timing tasks that take place in the refrigerator, freezer, and counter top - Please fix the annoying audio bug. If you clear the alarm while doing something else and later go back to the app it kills whatever audio is going on in the background...... Soooo annoying! - You can't alphabetically sort the the save timers. If you have a lot this is a hassle - App has not been updated in almost a year so buyer be aware

This app worked good for me but now it won't even open, run or start. Ugh... This is frustrating because I purchased it for me culinary uses and now it's just a waist of "time" and money. I wouldn't recommend this app to anybody that is looking for a reliable timer app. Especially since it's not free. >(

I love to cook! I love to cook a lot and lots of dishes at the same time! This app is awesome, I use it almost every day! Great job guys! :-D

I loved it the first time I used it! Had four timers going at once, it was great! Tried it again today and it will only set one timer and seems to be stuck on the one timer. Not worth the money, not dependable. Having to keep track the old fashion way with a clock and pencil.

Fairly good, with potential, but after about 3 weeks of use, seems to have a few glitches. Their support site seems to be a message board which does not seem to get checked very often. My posts seem to be unanswered even after a couple of weeks. I was unable to find an email address. Please check your site more often.

I love this app. As an avid bread baker, I use this frequently to keep track of the bread rising so I would give it 5 stars if they added a 3rd screen for miscellaneous cooking items like kneading dough, rising dough, marinating, etc.

I cook a lot, most of the time as I'm working. I have never had a problem, it always goes off and allows me to multitask and then take a break and eat!

The best when making multiple items.

...far too quiet to be useful. And, yes, I did "turn the volume all the way up."

I really enjoy things for the kitchen. This app is my new favorite toy. I used it to time two things as soon as I downloaded it. One in the oven and one on the stove. Super easy... Not using my timer on the microwave frees up the microwave while I time my food! Wish I had created this app! Thanks!

It seems that the timer is working again. It was not going off when the iPad/iPhone was locked or asleep. As such, I'm still a little nervous about using it. I've been setting 2 timers so I have one if this doesn't go off. If it continues to work reliably, I'll eventually trust it enough for it to be my only timer once more.

This was a great program but ios5 broke it. Unfortunately the new update does not fix the problem, it still will not work when in background or iPad is locked. When fixed will rate a 5 again.

And thats a huge bummer. All else is great.

Its just awesome. But if I'm not wrong, alarms stopped to work after the iOS 5 update. It simply won't beep if the iPad is locked, please fix!

And it's neat.

Great app with great features! I was having issues trying to download the application. I contacted app support and they responded right away. Come to fine out iTunes on both my Computer and my iPad had to be restarted so the iTunes app would work properly and allow me to download the application. So I am blaming Apple for this falure and not the App.

This works way better than all of the other timers I have. LOVIN' it!!!! No problem whatsoever with it.

Awesome app. Even the pros can struggle at home trying to get things out at the same time without ignoring their guests. Really helps you stay organized. Stand alone timer equivalents go for $30+. Worth every penny. Get this app.

I like the premise of this app, but I do a lot of BBQ that requires long cook times & constant temperature checks of the grill. A timer for BBQ cooks that would allow for reminders without detracting from total cook time would be very handy.

Awesome.

Well designed. Great app worth every penny.

Super app
