What would Easter be without eggs? Hard-boiling them just right, however, isn’t always so easy. This is where EggTimer Lite comes in. The app is programmed to perform scientific calculations that factor in egg size and temperature in providing the user with optimal cooking times. After trying out the free EggTimer Lite, you’ll wonder how you ever boiled eggs without it. The developer has released English and German versions of the app.
