    I have one of their’s that can connect to your phone. It’s not needed, it just adds extra cook book functions. It even hosts it so you can control the sous vide when you’re not at home, almost like a reverse proxy.

    But yea the physical buttons work fine without the app.

      My car works fine without a seat warmer, but if you sold it to me as part of the car then later it started charging me a subscription I’d be pretty pissed.

        Yeah, I barely use the app, but this is a bullshit anti-consumer move that leaves me with zero reason to trust the company going forward.

      What I like about having the Bluetooth connection to the app, is mostly just to see when the water has come up to temperature.

      But that was apparently too much to ask, since it says that they are also removing the Bluetooth functionality from the app…
