Ten years before they pulled this. Hopefully the cookers can be used without the app.

The funniest thing about this is a anovas app is practically f****** useless.

It has maybe two thirds of the things I ever want to cook in it. I end up looking times and temperatures up on the internet anyway. And it's maximum utility is to set the temperature and timer which you can do from the unit itself easily. Honestly more easily.

This right here. The app is absolutely useless and unnecessary. Just don't use it.
