Anova Culinary - Latest Quality Issues
Android

An app that is designed by people who don't cook or understand simplicity. Says connected to wifi but then says it's not. How about some straight functions to show the unit without jumping through hoops. Dei much?

Constant and repeated difficulty connecting over 2 years. Utterly fed up. NO other Bluetooth device causes me this level of problem.

This may very well be the worst app I have ever used. After numerous tries to connect my precision Bluetooth and Wi-Fi sous vide with this app, I have given up! And customer support is no better than the app. I would give this app zero stars if I could. Disappointed especially since I was an early adopter of the Anova product.

Buy a different brand of sous vide
I used to use this app to control my sous vide over bluetooth for years. As build quality and reviews of newer units plummeted, Anova removed support for older models and added an account requirement to stymie the used market. I'll never buy another Anova, and will continue to use mine without the app. Take your money elsewhere, lest you get burned like I did.

Connecting to the sous vide can take a while. Really clean and simple interface though, it's nice once you get connected.

I've been using the ANOVA since 2018, but recent changes to the app make it unusable. The app constantly forgets devices, so they need to be added to your account again and again. The original ANOVA that I had was supposed to work with the app, but it doesn't, even with a subscription. These devices generally are great, but the software ruins the experience.

Criminal. Purchase a Anova Precision Cooker Mini. Nothing on packing says required app. App wanted subscription and account creation, but you could close and bypass the window. But, app won't pair bluetooth (though phone does). There is no buttons and only a light on the product, so force app use. Will never purchase a ANOVA product now. As a cyber security engineer, I avoid IoT to internal wifi. Products like these make holes in networks. You become VPN for criminals if they exploit.

An update removed basic sous vide settings (to select preset temps for meat type and doneness) and placed them behind a paywall. Unacceptable removal of functionality in an attempt to force us to pay more, despite already having owned and used it for years!

seems to work fine but I don't like that I'm supposed to subscribe ($$) to get access to anything other than basic recipes.
