I never write reviews…

But what a piece of garbage by a garbage company. Why does it seem like there was more development for the Bluetooth/wifi connectivity than the actual longevity of the product. Was gifted a precision cooker 4 months ago, used it a handful of times and now out of no where it just doesn’t wanna work period. It beeps after a few minutes of it running and sounds like it thinks it’s on a timer yet guess what THERES NO TIMER SET ON IT EVER CAUSE I DONT WANNA CONNECT A SIMPLE KITCHEN TOOL TO BLUETOOTH WHATS THE POINT ANNNNND IVE DONE SO MUCH RESEARCH ON WHAT IT COULD BE AND I HAVE FOUND NOTHING ON HOW TO TROUBLESHOOT IT. EVEN THE SUPPORT LINE TOLD ME TO JUST DELETE AND REINSTALL THE APP. HOWS THATS GONNA FIX MY SOUS VIDE THAT DOESNT WORK PERIOD. Thank god I didnt buy this thing and will never buy from this place ever

Anova app

We have been using this app for about 2 years or so. It is so easy to use and their guides and recipes are very helpful. Highly recommended.

Great App

This is one of the few apps out there that withstands the pass of time! It’s very user friendly, and gets the job done fast and easy. No unnecessary content, no confusion and always work. The fact that this app has been around for a long time without needing enhancements attest to great value it provides to all its users. A strong word of advice to Anova, DO NOT attempt to change or even think of sunset this app, it is perfect as it is.

Disgraceful customer service

Bought a model in 2018 and it’s worked great, but now essentially rendered useless not because the unit itself has failed, but because Anova has decided to no longer support it and push users to a subscription model instead. That’s not how to build a solid and loyal user base. Time to go find one of the many other brands that doesn’t shaft their users. Buyers beware….

Everything is good,but

Only reason I gave 4stars,it’s not sure how to share my recipes to public, no directions at all.

New fangled gadget works greqt

I've been using my Anova for a couple years now. Consistently juicy meats. Tastes great. Not dried out so much as I often did on my grill. Smart phone connection is very helpful as well -- all my cook times are memorized -- really nice!

Much Better

When I got my Sous Vide a year ago your app was terrible. Wouldn't load, forgot the parameters of the current cook and would make me re-sync every time. Now, most of those problems have gone away and the app is working, pretty much, as intended. Thanks for the fixes and keep it up!

Best Sous Vide!

I had ordered another brand and I used it once. Luckily, we did not get sick from eating the eggs because it was not getting up to temperature this one does!

Love the device, meh about the app

I don’t use my Anova all that often, but I’m not really impressed by the ease of use of the app. And my favorite recipes won’t register on the favorite tab.
Also, the cookdown timer should only start when the correct temperature is reached. Kind of useless in function.

Paid subscription 😂

If u just like throwing small sums of money away for the most minute convenience this is for you.
“Remotely allowing u to change temp” for a device which the whole principle is set it and forget it 👍

Will it be prepared the way we like it?

We have been so pleased with the Way. Our food comes out. Just right for us. And no worries.

Lame Subscription

Since when did you bloodsuckers at Anova start charging users for a subscription? I used this app on and off, just recently re-downloaded the app and I see a prompt asking me to join their "subscription" service lol. Give me a break man, who TF do you idiots think you are? You guy's are really going to nickel and dime users see we can see "user shared" recipes and photos? I literally use this to check my Anova Temp when i'm elsewhere in the house. If I really wanted to "interact" with other's I'd just go on Food Network, IG, Reddit, Youtube, and etc. Shameless

Péssimo app

A experiência do app é HORRÍVEL. E pior, você só pode controlar o sous vide pelo app.
Quando você seleciona a temperatura, a tela do app fica branca, travada. Ai você tem que fechar à força o aap e abrir de novo. Depois para selecionar o tempo, a mesma coisa. Péssimo app, péssimo desenvolvimento.

Timer does not countdown.

The features don’t work via Bluetooth/internet. The device shows connected but timer does not work. Have to do all manually, which defeats the purpose for the app. Have deleted reinstalled etc and doesn’t work. Perhaps you have to pay to have a timer work

Perfect

It works perfectly every time and instructions are on point. What else do you ask for?

Great way for precision control

Love that I can start a meal in the morning and when I get home my meal is ready

Very useful

I think that when you set the temperature and time, there should be a sound telling you your temperature as been reach

Thank you
Luc

Great app! Worth the money!

Great app! You can collab with other Anova-Masters! Worth every penny!

I’ve been amazed for two years now,it’s a keeper

Не подключается

Это просто треш какой-то, могла бы поставить отрицательную оценку, поставила бы. Нужно удалять устройство и подключать заново каждый раз, как хочешь готовить - не находит. После переподключения послать настройки на девайс удается с 4-5 раза. По-моему, это худшая программа для управления устройствами, что у меня есть.
Фичей платных накрутили, а программа теряет устройство все чаще и чаще. Причем с каждым годом становится хуже, поначалу такого безобразия не было.
