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.👎 ### 2/5 — Can’t preview recipes *2019-11-09* 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. ### 2/5 — No option on recipes to “cook with One Top” *2019-07-19* The selling point for me was that you would be able to sync a recipe with One Top with the “cook with One Top” option on the Tasty app. Now One Top has its own app without that option. Instead, the app has only a few recipes which look nothing like the videos in the Tasty app because there are no videos with the step-by-step instructions. This induction cooker is not necessary. You can make all the recipes on a regular stove since there’s no video/recipe to connect to the actual One Top app. What happened?! ### 1/5 — Better apps out there. *2019-05-17* I personally follow multiple cooking, baking, and recipe subreddits on Reddit that much more helpful and knowledgeable than this app. Plus, the community (consisting of novice cooks as well as top of the line chefs)is always willing to share tips and advice. ### 1/5 — Not great *2019-05-17* It is okay to learn recipe ingredients but the cooking part is stressful to use with little user control. You’re better off following almost anything you find in google rather than these events where timers cannot be paused ### 1/5 — Screw Buzzfeed *2019-05-17, version 1.4* LONG LIVE REDDIT, IDIOTS! ### 1/5 — For reddit *2019-05-17* The one top app is buzzfeeds weakest point. If we strike here, we can cripple them. Ura! ### 1/5 — Shizzle *2019-05-08, version 1.4* Slither.io Reddit skin ### 1/5 — Leaves a lot to be desire *2018-11-11, version 1.2* Tried a steak recipe, once the actual cooking was done I tried to replace the pot with a skillet and the recipe reset and I couldn’t get to the part that I needed without going through the motions of the recipe all over again Needs work to keep up ### 2/5 — Where did all the recipes go? *2018-10-18, version 1.1* When the One Top was part of the Tasty app there were hundreds of recipes that it said were compatible with the One Too. On the stand-alone app, there’s only 40 something. Where did all the recipes go? How fast are you planning on incorporating new ones? I’d love to be able to take almost any recipe from Tasty and use it with the One Top ### 1/5 — Just doesn’t work *2018-10-16, version 1.1* All I want to do is set a power level and monitor the meat thermometer. Why am I not allowed to do this simple thing? Why am I also not allowed to change power levels while cooking? Ugh! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Update needed *2023-01-30* 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. ### 1/5 — Buggy and Outdated App *2022-03-20* 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. ### 1/5 — Update Failure *2021-01-19* 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. ### 1/5 — The Worst *2019-07-28* The app is beyond buggy and you have to reset if you phone locks or out of range. ### 1/5 — Stop deleting down doots *2019-05-24* Stop deleting negative reviews and accept the fact that this app is trash ### 1/5 — Pretty bad *2019-05-19* Not very good just kinda bad wish it wasn’t but it were, also buzzfeed is less news than the onion now so there’s that aswell ### 1/5 — Frick you Buzzfeed *2019-05-19* Buzzfeed took down over 60 bad reviews, frick you ### 1/5 — This app is not good *2019-05-17* I’ve done my part ### 1/5 — Absolutely terrible *2019-05-17* This app lacks any quality whatsoever. A truly unenjoyable experience. ### 1/5 — Needs more work. *2019-05-17* I don’t like many of the recipes, more need to be provided. I’ve encountered many times when this application decides to crash on me. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — So good *2019-05-05* It’s just so good! ### 5/5 — Woo Upgrade! *2018-11-19, version 1.2* Connection is great! Thanks for the upgrade! ### 5/5 — Love the new design! *2018-10-09, version 1.1* The new design is very modern and so far I’ve been able to connect a lot easier than before. Can’t wait to try it out some more! ### 5/5 — One top? More like FUN top *2018-10-08, version 1.1* I’ve been using my one top since it came out and it really is fun to have an appliance walk you through the entire cooking process. The app keeps getting better too. ### 5/5 — Cenzo *2018-10-05, version 1.1* Great functionality between the unit and app. Walks you through exactly what to do and when when choosing one of the interactive recipes. Really helpful for someone who is not a chef ### 3/5 — Did they stop working on this? *2023-05-28* 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. ### 3/5 — Unsupported gem *2021-03-04, version 1.5* 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! ### 3/5 — Needs work *2021-01-01* 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. ### 3/5 — Works great but.. *2020-02-27, version 1.4* 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! ### 3/5 — Good and bad *2018-12-23* The good news is that it is very easy to use the app to control the OneTop for sous vide. The bad news is that if you disconnect from the onetop the app loses track of the sous vide program and you gave to restart including resetting the timer. Quite annoying. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
