3/5Latest upgrade broke on iPhone 4S
I’ve been using this app for quite some time, and must say it is very useful when I develop black and white film, and I rather like it. However the latest upgrade broke on my iPhone 4S despite the fact that the phone is running iOS 9.3.5, which the app is supposed to run on. The problem is that UI elements tend to overlap on the screen, making some parameters impossible to change. (Example: trying to turn on time-temperature conversions changes the temperature setting! I tried using a stylus instead of my finger but it didn’t do any good.) The app works fine on my iPhone 6S+, but as that is my primary phone I’d rather not expose it to chemicals - that’s what I use the old 4S for. Guess I won’t have a choice until the problem is fixed in a future update. Could I make another suggestion? Please allow different agitation regimens for developing and fixing.

3/5Love the web site - the app not so much.
Can't give "My times" steps meaningful titles - if your work flow deviates at all, it can't be saved in a useful way. Notes don't word wrap so you can see them. An app this mature should at least be aware of new sentences - auto capitalization is built in to the OS. I do enough traditional processing to probably keep it but pretty sad for 9 bucks.

2/5Not worth the price
Dear App Developer, it would be fantastic if we could create our own timer instead of being limited to a set of developers based on the film I choose and a general configuration based on my preferences. However, this app is only for black-and-white film stock development, and doesn't help with color film (C41, E6, ECN2 and other) development. Regrettably, I wouldn’t recommend this app to anyone due to it's limitations. In this app, you can only make minor adjustments to saved “favorite” processes, which is practically useless for many seeking to develope at home. I would like to see a development timer that allows me to add or remove a few stops from my development time. This tool is not worth the $8.99 USD I paid for. I’ve switched to another app which has most of my requested features called “Develop!” and it's FREE!!! Hopefully you can improve this application.

2/5May have wasted my money on this
The online version of the Massive Dev Chart is very helpful, and I refer to it regularly, so I thought this app would be just as good. Maybe I’ve missed it somewhere in the settings, but I don’t see the option of setting the agitation to “continuous” like you can on the website. The instructions say you can modify your agitation preferences, but none of the options they provide are for “continuous”. Of course I can just deduct 15% from the normal times to achieve this using my free calculator app. But I paid $9 for this app to do that.

1/5Dark mode no longer dark!
In the darkroom, I rely on the ability to turn the screen of my iPhone to dark mode when using this app to time film development (sheet film, in trays). But in a recent update, there is now a large white “Dynamic Island” where the mode buttons are that cannot be turned dark, so there’s significant light pollution in my workspace when developing film, and I have to put black tape over that part of the screen!! WHY did you implement this?? Is it a bug or a “feature”??!
