Anova Culinary - Latest Quality Issues
Android
Jan 26, 2025
Poor UX. Don't ask to enable notifications every time the app starts. UX 101. This app is bad at it.
iOS

Total garbage - returning
Truly shocked Anova hasn't been sued for how bad the app / device connectivity is. Connectivity is a joke but worse…it simply doesn't work. I'm surprised part of their directions aren't to hit the device multiple times to see if that will fix this flawed product and software. Do not buy the device. This is THE reason why Costco no longer sells Anova.

Clunky but works
Easy enough to use, cooks always successful. However I find the app to have some short comings, which would make it more intuitive and convenient to use. Like along with the countdown timer, it would be nice if the app states the actual time the meal would be finished as well as the time the cooking started. Also an option for starting the cook time timer, for example if I wanted to preheat the water without first adding the food. What's the point of a smartphone app if I have to do extra math??

Installed the upgrade. Connect my Anova using add product. Device connects but doesn't show the device in settings. I guess that's a subscription feature? Without paying this app is useless. Too bad because the older version worked fine.

My sous vide constantly disconnects in the app, I have to forget it in Bluetooth devices just to reconnect manually every time I want to start cooking something and any time I want to check on the temp/time or stop the cooking.

The app used to be really useful. Then the switched to paid subscription service and now it's pretty much useless for the free version.
