Love this app
I love my this app and I love this app as well. Please update for iPhone X people 😁 you could add the this app controls to the bottom for quick access. Some ideas I thought of when using this app it’ll be great to have a quick way to toggle the timer in the app. I was thinking maybe like 3 quick presses once the this app is at temp if that’s possible. I believe the one button can be just as practical then Anova’s buttons. I always find myself forgetting to toggle the timer after adding my meat 🥩. Thank you chef team - M.A

The device is great, app needs slight work
The app force closes when it asks me about notifications and i click yes. Because of this, I have no choice but to click no. That’s my only issue with the app. One suggestion to mention, under “cook history” it would be nice to allow the user to put a description of what they cooked. Instead, it defaults to “Manual Cook”. The device has worked great so far. Even when the app force closes because of what I described above, it still continues to work.

Love this machine!
I’m not really sure why so many people have not given this the this app a better rating. I am a Chef in the food industry and I love my this app...or joules! I have 3 of them now and looking at a 4th one. I have tried competitors, but always go back to the this app. I also have had a couple of my kitchen staff buy ones for themselves. They are precise, work awesome and have not had any issues I can’t fix with the simple troubleshooting techniques. I use the recipes as well as the manual cooking option. The updates, I feel, have been great, and the chefsteps crew seems to be continuously trying to improve the whole experience. I love the tech side of the this app(though a manual control, or even better, a control from the cloud on a desktop would be nice), and multiple users being able to control the same this app at once, is awesome! The only reason I don’t give this a 5 star, is because I want and NEED a way to add and save my own “recipes”/cooking data. I cook some of the same things over and over, and I have tweaked the app recipes to what works for me. If chefsteps could have a section that saves personal recipes in the app so that I could quickly go back to them, that would make this machine perfect! Thanks for the awesome this app and keep it up!
