Did they stop working on this?

I was so excited when this came out. I pre ordered thinking it would connect to the tons of tasty recipes but it’s been years and years now and it still only connects to the same few recipes. It was $250 when I bought it. I still think the idea is cool and hope they get back to working on it. For now it sits in the back of a closest and I feel a little cheated. I hope they finally update this and add some more recipes. Who knows since it’s BuzzFeed and they don’t seem like they are doing so well. 🤞🏼
You still need this app to use as a controller though. It works.

Update needed

Please update the app to allow us to skip steps so when disconnects happen we can pick up where we left off. Maybe a disconnect mode where the timer will pickup also.
In addition allow us to input our own recipes with directions.

Buggy and Outdated App

The app is constantly disconnecting from the one top and is not intuitive. I also don’t like that they stopped adding new recipes which is not fair since people spent good money for the device just for the app to stop being updated.

Meh

The cooker works great but the app is pretty worthless. Over a two hour sous vide it cut out twice (so far) and that is not very useful considering that once the temp is set it’s only a timer.👎

Unsupported gem

Nice foundation for the UI. Fairly intuitive even while hands are full with cooking. Please add: (1) ability to skip a step without having to wait the slated time (2) in self-cook mode, show me the termometer reading, (3) Instead of making me start the timer for a step just auto-start the timer but let me pause it. (4) when thermometer reaches desired temp, continue to show the accurate reading instead of stopping the count. Thanks!

Update Failure

I was pleased to see the update claim to adjust temp without starting over.

Not so pleased when the updated app wouldn’t even start Precision surface temp. But if I search recipes, then back up, Precision opp appears.

And when using thermometer for internal temp, why can't I also set surface temp? Burgers? Fish?

It also often just overshoots preset surface temp and scorches things before I am forced to Stop Cooking and re-set.

Needs work

I have lots of cooking gadgets. The one top seems like it could be great. But the app is too buggy and not intuitive at all. Disappointed in this purchase, do better.

Works great but..

Would really love to see more recipes added! I see on Facebook and youtube Tasty is really pushing this One Top, and there really is not many recipes at all! So please, if you guys could add some more that’d be awesome!

Can’t preview recipes

Would love to be able to fully preview the recipe without my cooktop turning on. It’s always been hard for me to get a sense of if I have the time/ability to make a recipe from just the written instructions, and while I can usually figure it out it’s much easier to watch the video, and the fact that someone went out there, tested recipes, scripted a video, filmed the video with a full production crew, spent 20+ hours editing it, put it on an app and the app is installed on my phone and yet I can’t access it unless I’ve committed to cooking the recipe is honestly infuriating. I guess I could boil a bunch of water on the cooktop or something like that to preview the video, but it seems like a waste to do that. Don’t see myself bothering with any of the exclusive recipes. The only reason I’m not leaving one star is because they include recipes from their other app/social media and I can go watch them somewhere else.

The Worst

The app is beyond buggy and you have to reset if you phone locks or out of range.
