## What is Anova Oven?

The Anova Precision® Oven is the first combi oven with pro-level features designed specifically for the home cook. Paired with the Anova Oven app, you’ll enjoy a fully connected cooking experience and the most advanced features of the Oven.

Break out of your everyday cooking routine with inspiration from the step-by-step recipes developed specifically for the Anova Precision Oven. With the connected app, you can start cooking with a single button press and the Wi-Fi enabled Oven will preheat to your recipe’s recommended settings. As your food cooks, you’ll be able to keep an eye on your timers and food probe readings remotely, and notifications will alert you when it’s time for the next hands-on step. 

If you want to cook freestyle, you can create your own multi-stage cooking programs in the app. Define the oven settings for each stage of cooking and the transitions between stages to build stress-free, no-compromise recipes for all of your favorite foods. Your cook history is stored automatically so you can replay your past cooks, or share your recipes with the community.  

Features:
- Explore our library of recipes created specifically for the Anova Precision® Oven. These recipes span meals, cuisine types, and cooking techniques to educate and inspire you to create your new dishes.
- Learn step-by-step techniques by following along with clear photos and easy-to-read instructions from top recipe creators. 
- Start cooking any recipe with a single tap. The cook settings are sent to your oven directly.
- Quickly convert recipe/packet settings to use in the oven or save as a full recipe, including ingredients, steps, and oven settings converted for the Anova Precision® Oven.
Monitor your cook by watching real-time temperature and timer readings. View the oven’s temperature and steam settings, and even monitor the core temperature of your food when using the included food probe. 
- Go freestyle with manual cooking. You can start cooking from the app or from the oven itself without relying on specific recipes. 
- Make adjustments on the fly. If dinner is ready but you’re not, add a holding stage to your cook so your food remains at its best. 
- Create multi-stage recipes. Most foods have multiple cooking goals, like achieving juicy meat and crispy skin. Separate your cooking into multiple oven stages to optimize for each goal, like the pros do. With full control over oven functions and the ability to transition automatically based on timer or probe targets, true multi-stage, combi cooking is finally available for home cooks. 
- View your cook history. It’s like having a DVR for your Oven — recipes and manual cooking sessions are automatically saved to your history, making it easy to revisit your favorites.

### 1/5 — Worst App Ever?

*2026-08-02, version 1.2.10*

This might, and I emphasize might, not be the worst app I have ever had. Without a doubt though it is the worst app for thousands of dollars of cost for me. 

I have two APOs in two places, so obviously on two wifi SSIDs. I am the only person cooking in each place. Both of the ovens are in my name. 

Anova will not permit me to have both ovens associated with the app.  Every time I go to the other place (which is several times a month) I am forced to disconnect from one oven and connect to the other oven. Come on Anova! Why will you not permit two connections?

Do you not want customers to support you by buying multiple products? Or do you just want to not support the customers who support you?

What is worse, connecting the app to the oven each time is hit and miss. Sometimes it connects smoothly. Sometimes, like what prompted this review, it simply refuses to connect the APO. I spent so much time trying to connect yesterday that my wife finally told me to go pick up a pizza because she wanted to eat before bedtime. 

Anova support has been worse than useless. I say worse than useless because I tell them what I have done (update the app, make sure other oven is disconnected, turn off VPN, reset Bluetooth on my phone, unplug oven, etc.) only for them to tell me to do exactly what I just to,d them I had done. 

I am happy with the Anova hardware, but Anova ought to get some high school student to rewrite their app as a school assignment.

### 5/5 — Versatile

*2026-07-02, version 1.2.10*

Have had this Ver 1 oven for a long time and it continues to be a well used appliance. Mostly use the sous vide mode for fish, meat and root vegetables - and for proofing dough. The sequenced cooking I have also used a lot! So a great investment.

### 5/5 — So functional!

*2026-06-27, version 1.2.10*

Loving the new updates to the app. The AI functions are fairly accurate and seem to be always improved with each use. I love that my recipes are automatically saved as well.

### 1/5 — Latest update

*2026-06-08, version 1.2.10*

I now have a black screen after the latest update.

### 1/5 — Oven sucks. App sucks

*2026-06-08, version 1.2.10*

My oven broke twice now. First time it just wouldn’t turn on anymore and got a warranty. Water reservoir cracks too cuz of the heat. Second oven the front panel stopped working so I can only control on the app. App is annoying too- when you stop the oven to change the settings, it resets to the default settings every time. And right now my app won’t even turn on so my oven is unusable. Customer care won’t do anything for me even though I’m willing to pay for parts

### 1/5 — disconnet

*2026-05-08, version 1.2.9*

always disconnect

### 5/5 — Easy

*2026-04-19, version 1.2.8*

This salmon takes out all guesswork! Follow the directions and it’ll be amazing for you too!

### 5/5 — Awesome Wings

*2026-04-17, version 1.2.8*

Perfect  Taste

### 5/5 — Can’t live without it

*2026-04-15, version 1.2.8*

❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️

### 1/5 — Manual settings are broken

*2026-03-22, version 1.2.8*

From the last couple months, entering the manual controls section of the app and attempting to turn off sous vide mode will immediately crash the app. It makes it completely unusable.
