App no good in U.K
Spend a fortune on a Vitamix A3500i blender, but the app is only for USA, why? Is the UK money not good enough for Vitamix, maybe you stop selling your machines over here !
Good. Lack’s ability to substitute alternate ingredients, or reorder when ingredients are frozen.
Works well at what it does, but could use some flexibility.
The app does not connect with european models
I’ve just bought vitamix a3500i and when I connect to the app it says that unknown container placed on the blender. It seems that the app doesn’t have an option to select a3500i. You just buy an expensive device without connectivity to the app and you loose the many programs that are in the app. I am thinking to return the product.

Shame this isn’t updated
This program is a great idea. Instead of developing this and renewing the app, vitamix chose to take 2 steps back, dropping support for ascent and dropping Bluetooth on the new X series. Instead, they’re using buggy and price grabbing RDIF programs that need to be updated via BUYING a new container .

Great guidance
Because of this app, I make great smoothies: nice mix of ingredients, good portion size, and simple to scale with a friend. Super easy user interface and easy to share recipes and create my own.
Pointless
No point of connecting the blender just to set up the speed for a recipe if you have to walk to it to press start on the mixer.
Marginal at Best
No matter how many times I select the correct blender model, it stays the 3500. Does not properly recognize the aero disk, calls it a dry container, so I cannot use any preprogrammed options. Vitamix may make solid blenders but clearly this app is an afterthought with no real effort to actually improve or use the technology advertised, and up charged for. Feels like a bait and switch.

Works well!
Use the app with the scale and the blender for a seamless experience. Really enjoy my units. App is good. Would be nice if you could add your own recipes.
Can not support the latest model
Why it is not supporting the latest model venturist pro? I returned my V1200 due to recall and bought the new Venturist Pro from Costco. Now I cannot even find the model the app and loose the blue tooth connection ability! this is a big draw back for me.
Garbage extremely hard to figure out
Was the app designed by a Chilean grade one student? Who is supposed to be a user of this garbage???

Used to work
I recently updated the app and since the update, my blender (V1200) won’t run programs. I get the little dot that indicates the blender is connected but the programs don’t load and don’t run. The troubleshooting tip on the app also doesn’t show on screen because there’s a problem there as well that causes the text to not wrap but go offscreen. Poor QA/regression testing before app release on this one. Wish I could revert to the older version!

Vitamix—the Cadillac of blenders
I bought my Vitamix 4 years ago, when I was also able to buy the accompanying scale. The app, the blender, and the scale make creating masterpieces a joy!
No add to Siri button
There is no add to Siri button.
App crashes
Love my Vitamix but app consistently crashes or doesn’t work.
Cool at first
At first I like and thought it was a cool app. But I programmed the Siri thing to it, and it doesn’t run the programs as they should, meaning smoothies start full speed for example. Now it’s doing it all the time.
Potential Not Realized
App could be really good but is flawed. When I registered and then attempted to select my Vitamix Professional Series 750 blender, the next screen shown was to select my container, but it was blank with no options. I could not move forward; therefore, my blender was not added to my profile. Also annoying that a pop-up displayed EVERY time I favored a recipe to use Siri. I got it—enough!. Disappointing.

Persistent bug causes iOS to crash
App is generally good but there is a long-standing severe bug. When iOS pops up a notification reminder to open the app (this happens automatically upon turning on the blender when it connects to Bluetooth and would be helpful if not for the bug), if you select “open” the entire iOS will crash / kernel panic / black screen (not just the Vitamix app)

Blender is amazing, app is a disappointment
The app is very clumsy and every part of it feels like an afterthought. At first I thought I’d gotten the wrong one because it makes it seem like you’re supposed to have a Vitamix scale to use it. Setup is awkward and unclear. Once I had it connected, it became clear the app will only be useful when using the pitcher that came with my blender. The food processor offers only a custom program and when I put my aer disc pitcher on it detects as the 48 oz dry container, so none of the programs are applicable except for custom. As for custom, since it only lets you set a single speed on a timer as a one off, I see no value in using the app to do that. It’s easier to just do that on the A3500 itself. The fact that it actually has extra programs for the standard pitcher is the only thing getting it two stars instead of one.

Not a lot of help
Seems the company that makes the Perfect Scale is out of business and you can’t buy the scale. The big pitch on this was that you just place the blender container on the scale and the add your ingredients and it automatically calibrates , no pre measuring required. Therefore most of the recipes are by weight rather than volume making this more complicated than less.
