Don’t delete

Your deleting the only app my iPad works with because it’s old. Now what do I do?????

Barely functional. Ripped off.

For such an expensive piece of equipment, this is unacceptable. Changing the temperature is painful. Connecting is painful. The machine disconnects EVERY time you navigate away from the app. I wish I had bought a simpler machine.

Super cumbersome

I know how to sous vide. I just want to set the temp and time. Everyone know how to sous vide - google and AI exist. With this I have to answer 99999 questions before I’m forced to make a choice which may not be exactly what I want. Not to mention give my email, sign in, etc. if it was simple I’d give five stars. But the hassle, oooof.

Miserable app

Did the app work? Yes, that’s why it doesn’t have 1 star. But it was a maze of pop up adds, banners alerts and all kinda of nonsense just to turn on and use my sous vide. They literally forced me to pick a recipe to cook at first, so I “cooked” burgers.

Eventually I fought through the junk and was able to set the temp on my machine but that really shouldn’t have taken 5-10 minutes after pairing
