Won’t let you log in

I used this app with my instant pot Wi-Fi for years. All of a sudden, it asked me to login, which I have done before, and now I can no longer log into the account. The app is requiring you to login before it will even connect your instant pot to the app. Thus, without being able to login, I cannot connect it to my instant pot to use it anymore. When trying to login, it hangs on “authenticating“ perpetually. If this problem could get fixed, I would be happy again, and would rate it with five stars. But this glitch has made the “wifi” function of this instant pot completely useless.

Please fix this app

The UI for this app is terrible. The way to connect a device to the app and wifi is incredibly complicated and will not work. Every time results in connection error despite me having a 2.4 wifi signal. The whole point of having a wifi enabled device is to be able to connect and control it for ease and that is a function not accessible with this app/device. Also why not have just one app that can share recipes and control devices.

You have to be insane to be able to use this app

So, by following the instructions of the “Instant Pot Smart Wifi”’s instruction Manual, I ended up downloading 2 apps, the first one was just a recipe book, and this one, which it allegedly leverages on the “smart” capabilities of the product. I didn’t have an account, and had to make one for the first app, when I used the credentials to sing in on this app, it says wrong email or password; tried creating an account, and it said My email was already registered; and after reseting my password 16 times, it still didn’t allowed me access to the app, so, since insanity is doing the exact same thing expecting different outcomes, and I ran out of patience, I encourage you to run away from this app, your sanity will appreciate it

This app just doesn’t work.

When it’s working, it’s a cool and easy way to cook a variety of recipes, but the app so frequently tells me that my instant pot is offline, it’s just a headache, and I’ve stopped using the app.

Don’t waste your money.

I bought this pot strictly for the ability to start and use my pot from work. I cannot log into the app so therefore I can’t use the Wi-Fi feature. I contacted support and have gotten two generic emails that say the same thing. “Thank you for your patience we are working on it”. This error shouldn’t take long to correct since reviewers over a period of years have the same complaint. They should be proficient in fixing this problem. I think it is time to stop supporting instant products since they don’t want to support the customer. So disappointed.
