## Review summary

Overall sentiment is mixed: Steak Timer is simple and helpful for basic steak cooking, but many users report unreliable timing and notification issues, unclear temperature guidance, and missing customization/features. Common requests include shorter intervals (30s), clearer prompts (text cues), better alarm sounds, support for multiple steaks and different thicknesses, resting timers, and pan/grill temperature guidance.

### Pros

- Simple and easy to use.
- Helps users achieve desired doneness and 'perfect' steaks.
- Timer reminders provide guidance during cooking.
- Straightforward basic tool for monitoring cook.
- Good baseline guidance for steak timing

### Cons

- Inaccurate timing leading to undercooked/overcooked steaks.
- Alarm/beep issues and lack of clear prompts; customization lacking.
- Lacks temperature guidance; unclear what conditions are assumed.
- Missing features: support for multiple steaks and adjustable thickness/rest timer.
- Flip reminders not frequent enough; granularity issues (minutes vs seconds)
