  Reminds you periodically to turn the food and tracks the total
  cooking time.

  and home screen widget.
• Editable pop-up menu of interval times. Quickly access your favorite
  timers, each with optional notes.
• Changeable alarms while it’s running.
• No ads.

Type in the interval time: minutes, minutes:seconds, or hours:minutes:seconds.

Example intervals:
 10 = 10 minutes
 7:30 = 7 minutes, 30 seconds
 3:15:00 = 3 hours, 15 minutes

Short forms:
 12:00 = 12:0 = 12: = 12 = 12 minutes
 0:09 = :9 = 9 seconds
 2:00:00 = 2:0:0 = 2:: = 120 = 2 hours
