Time stick trio or amazon knock off

[russmn]

I'm in the market for a new timer . I'm Debating on if the thermoworks time stick trio is worth it . I found an amazon knock off for 15 free shipping sense I'm a prime member .. the trio will be almost 40 after shipping. Here is a pic of amazon triple timer

Can anyone chime in on the trio quality?

Nobody has info on the time stick trio?

There's nothing special at all about timing algorithms, that's why they are free with phones.  I have an Android phone and I'm looking at a free app at the Google Play store that has six timers that can run simultaneously, and you can input what you are cooking on each timer.   

The Amazon knock off runs anywhere from $15 up to $60 depending on the seller.

Just my two cents.

Edit: I just downloaded the app.  You can add as many timers as you want, not just six.

I know phones work but I'm just not good about charging the stupid things or carrying it around with me Haha that's why I was thinking it would be nice to have a nice timer to keep in my BBQ box
