Review summary

Users appreciate SteakMate's accurate timing for cooking steaks and easy-to-use interface, especially for beginners and those cooking multiple steaks with different doneness. However, many reviews highlight critical bugs in handling multiple steaks, causing naming loops and frustrating usability. The app lacks unit customization (cm to inches), audible flip/removal alarms, and adjustable timing for different cooking setups. Users suggest additional meat options and improved features. Despite these issues, it remains a favored tool for cooking steaks to preference, particularly praised for its free access and core functionality when working properly.

Pros

Provides accurate and easy-to-follow steak cooking times, resulting in well-cooked steaks.
Supports cooking multiple steaks with different doneness preferences simultaneously.
User interface is generally nice and straightforward for beginners.
Includes many popular steak cuts and accounts for thickness and stove type.
Offers free usage with good basic features.

Cons

App frequently gets stuck in a loop requiring steak naming when adding multiple steaks, making multi-steak cooking frustrating or unusable.
Lacks configurable units (only uses centimeters, no inches option).
No alarm or audible alerts for when to flip or remove steaks; requires constant attention.
Timing may need adjustment depending on cooking method or heat source; no user-adjustable timing settings.
Limited meat varieties and cuts; suggestions to add more meats like lamb and additional steak cuts.

2026-01-04	Be*****	Used to be awesome, but they've broken it with latest update. Cannot add a second steak to queue without giving it a name. No way to name it until it is added to the queue. Thus it is impossible to have more than one steak.

2025-03-15	Da*****	I like the ability to do all sorts of steaks but trying to add to the q for steaks it says I must name the steaks then hit options but then when I hit ok and it says name the steak it does not give me an option to name it

2025-01-11	Cr*****	Gets stuck on a name your steak loop. Even though I've named the first one and trying to add a second one. Oh well. Seemed like a good idea but will just do it manually again.

2024-02-07	Th*****	UI is a bit jank. Also, medium rare turned out well done. Seems like the pan has to be really low, can't get a good crust with the pan that low.
