I was a huge fan of this company but they have added a 9$ a month fee to their app. You should be able to still connect via Bluetooth and change the temperature but I believe all recipes and wifi are behind this pay wall. Still worth 25$ but that is the reason this is 25$ and not 100$. It is a discontinued model they dont sell cause they pivoted to charging for their outdated poorly designed app.

Anova's app will disconnect from the device and ask you to subscribe (with the easily-missed-X to skip) before you can get back to seeing the status of whatever you're cooking, and similar reall-shitty-things. Device cannot be used at all without the app. Notifications and timers only work if you let the app give you ads interspersed (as the same notifications) and let it run in the background ALL THE TIME. No sanity-friendly option at all.
You'll spend more money on the food it ruins the one time you fail to do something manually than you will on just getting a better Sous Vide device.
Makes sense that the app should be an additional option, not the option
I used it over the course of ten days of travel to sous vide pounds of beef, chicken, and pork. It worked with the app, no issues.
I am grandfathered into the app so can only speak from that experience.
This unit has one job and only one job: sous vide the meats. It does it as designed.
I set timers outside the app and don't use the app for recipes. If you're looking to use the app for more than temp control, it might require a subscription. A subscription isn't needed to control the temp.
Until they start charging you to change the temp or something and it turns into e-waste. Thankfully, I bought the original with physical controls. I won't buy another Anova product after the shenanigans with the app and discontinuing support for WiFi/bluetooth on older devices.
TLDR: Don't buy this

That said, price is pretty good and I like that it's compact. I'm tempted but I won't
