Great App!
Kyle Michaels

No more fixer stained notebooks and post it notes that get lost. This app keeps all my recipes and times organized and makes developing film so much more enjoyable.


Super Useful

This has been something I had been looking for to make things easier in the darkroom. It does exactly that.


Still the best Developing App
MB85023

Still the best app out there for developing (B&W) film, and I have been using this app for years now !!! Love the Rollei-inspired graphics, too.


Where’s the native iPad app?
oopsydaisy74

This is listed as working on iPad, but it’s actually the iPhone version running as a small misoriented window on an iPad screen. This is inexcusable for 2020. iPad’s been around for 10 years. Looks like app hasn’t been updated in a year, I’d say that’s a good place to start. The functionality otherwise seems to be really good. Make this an iOS universal app that can be run in landscape mode and you’ll get 4-5 stars.


Perfect for the job
BSDorn

What an ingenious app. Simple, does what you want it to do, clearly designed by someone who knows film development and software design. Love it. Thank you!


Very Useful App
Loribinca

Easy to use and works great!! A real boon!


Nice app but not chiming
DK#9

The application provides plenty of flexibility. However, there are a few bugs. The chiming function seems non-functional at the moment


A Huge Help
Mike Smith in the house

Absolutely love this app, it is my go to every time. My only gripe is the ux/ui needs some updating. Could be a little more friendly to set up.


Excelent timer for developing film

This is an excelent timer for developing film.


Immensely helpful
becca_rox12243

This is the best and simplest app I have found for timing my developing. If there was one thing I could change, it would be being able to listen to my music or while my phone is timing. The interval chime and end task beeps pause whatever I’m listening to when they go off. I can turn them off, but they’re helpful so I don’t want to! Other than that, great app and I love being able to add my own developing recipes.
