Great app, makes perfect eggs. But the adds are a bit annoyingly implemented. But the pro version now to support the dev.

Used to be my favourite, but today it let me down and didn't ring when the eggs were done. No notification, and I had to view an ad to even see what the current time was. Farewell egg timing friend, you were good once.
