Make alarms loud enough for a busy kitchen

Turn the volume up, use a Bluetooth speaker and understand the card colors.

    Turn the volume up

    Use the iPad volume buttons and switch off Silent mode in Control Center.

  2. 2

    Pair a Bluetooth speaker

    Open iPad Settings > Bluetooth and connect your speaker. Then open the app and tap the screen once so sound is routed to the speaker.

    Read the colors

    Blue means ready to start, green means cooking, yellow means almost done, and flashing red with a loud alarm means the food is ready.
