Pros and cons of Anova Culinary app for iPhone and iPad

Anova Culinary app good for

Been waiting for this app. Worked perfect and connected to my anova. All I had to do was turn the device on, hold the Bluetooth icon until it beeped, click the Bluetooth icon on the app and finally selected "SV Mini".
I was worried about the Wi-Fi not working because of some the the reviews I read. But, I got my cooker delivered by Fe-Ex today, read the QuickStart guide and connected first try. Cooking within 30 minutes of arriving.

Some bad moments

The app needs internet connection and doesnt come with pre loaded recipes. Because of this navigation is slow and boring. A "favorite" button could help a bit.
While the recipes are nice, the App has very poor functionality 1. It is not possible to change the units and the servings number in the setup so you have to recalculate everything yourself. 2. Just like the Anova WiFi app, this app, too, cannot establish a connection to the device. While the iPhone displays a connection, the Apps connection attempts fail. Thats a very poor user experience and one of the most prominent featured properties of the device (Bluetooth and WiFi connectivity) simply dont exist.
It works but lacks the vital feature of Push Notification once your selected set-points are met. It also needs a "Silence" button in the app to mute/acknowledge the beeping of the physical unit.
Theres no way to turn off the "low water warning" even after closing the app. It annoyingly reminds you every 3 seconds that the water is low. Only way to stop it is to fully close the app by double tapping the home screen. Not well executed.
There are very few recipes and Ive experienced two bad things: -when the time expires the anova precision cooker should stop heating and pumping. This is not happening due to a bug -I cannot set a delayed start for a program. There are dishes that require more than 4 hours too cook: I need a way to start the program when Im not home.
Nice idea but super buggy (still). Often disconnects so timer stops, or reconnects and sets some random temperature. Currently the timer didnt even count down. Ive come to not rely on the app timer and just have to keep an eye on the temp reading.
