User Reviews

Users praise the app for precise temperature control, ease of use, and useful remote alerts, plus a broad recipe library and compatibility with older units. However, recurring issues center on subscription/account requirements, unstable connectivity, limited automation (no scheduling), weaker iPad support and setup guidance, and frequent login friction. Overall, the hardware is valued, but the app’s monetization model and reliability problems hinder seamless use.
Pros
  • Precise and reliable temperature control for sous vide cooking.
  • Easy-to-use app with abundant recipes and ideas to try.
  • Remote monitoring and alerts (start and finish notifications) enabling unattended cooking.
  • Quiet operation and versatility across many foods and applications.
  • Long-term compatibility with older Anova units and continued app support.
Cons
  • Subscription model and required account/login to access core features (navigation and notifications) frustrates users.
  • Frequent Bluetooth/Wi‑Fi connectivity issues leading to repeated disconnects and failed connections.
  • Limited scheduling/automation features (no future start times, no auto-off, limited control when cooking)
  • Poor setup guidance and inconsistent cross-device support (notably limited iPad functionality)
  • Frequent logout/login prompts and friction that disrupts ongoing cooks.

Asks you to pair and connect via the devices WiFi. Doesn’t work Just beach balls Why don’t they design to connect via Bluetooth?

I downloaded the latest app update and now it will not connect to my cooker. It is a complete embarrassment for a company to have an application that is meant to help you run your sous vide machine from outside of your home to now not be able to have the machine connect to anything inside of your home. This is a massive disappointment.

Anova ha a history of deliberately disabling features in order to get you to purchase a newer model, just to get back what you already paid for. Fraud!
