Missing the most important part

Sous vide cooking has only a few elements. The temperature of the water, the minimum time needed for the food to reach that temperature relative to the thickness of the meat. This app takes the lazy approach and gives very broad ranges of times and doesnt address the thickness issue. It is kind of a useless app because cooking a steak (for example) by any method should get to 131 if you want it medium rare. I dont need to spend $2 for this app to tell me that. A 1/2 inch steak takes a different amount of time to get to 131 than an 1 inch steak. It would be nice to know that time. In fact, since the beauty of sous vide cooking is that you cant really over cook the food, the over broad time amounts provided are completely useless. I can cook a steak for an hour or four hours - it will taste the same. However, if I got home from work and put my steak in the water bath, I would like to know if I will be eating at 7 or at 11.

The farenheit and celcius numbers for each food are nice (because my sous vide temperature control device is only in celcius), but I have a unit conversion app. I would easily give this app five stars if included information about cooking time relative to thickness. Without that info, it is not very helpful.
