Just create a login using an email address and a password. It's not that big of a deal IMO.

I disagree. Apps taking over mobile browsing and having to log in for every goddamn thing is not acceptable. Not for this thread though.

Do you have an alternative you have used and recommend?

Thanks!

A pellet or other style smoker

The reason behind it isn't is nefarious as some people would have you believe. They're getting ready to roll out new features that will include being able to access an account for recipes and controlling your Innova from browser windows and such. This makes it so you don't have to use the app but can also log into a browser to access it as well for times when that's more convenient. Some people just think everything is the devil and nothing is a sign of improvement.

That all sounds nice but does nothing to take away the annoyance of having to log in to use a Bluetooth device.

Nobody is forcing you to.

Got a Pellet Grill, Gas Grill, Charcoal Grill and use them all. I thought I would try something new.
Here's the day dream:
Following the guidance early in this thread, set up my Rib Eye Steak in Ice in a Modified Cooler with Sous Vide Machine in my Hotel Room. Spend the day at the Gun Show. An hour or two before the show closes, start my steak cooking (do you still call it cooking when using sous vide?). Get back to the room and unload my bag of treasures and cash (See! A fantasy already). Finish the steak off with the Searing Torch, and enjoy dinner.
Yep, that's the dream

Just to expand on the comments against the requirement that the app requires a Facebook sign-on or logging onto the app, 2,067 respondents found the comments useful. Don't know if that means they agree or disagree, just useful.

The Anova app is pretty lame anyhow. I use the app called "Sous Vide ?C" on my iPhone much more often. Controls the Anova just fine and easier to find recipes. And no log in.

[BladesNBarrels]

Great advice.
I will be thinking about the Anova again.
It is selling on Amazon Prime with the wifi for $129.
The Bluetooth unit went from $89 to $99 while I was thinking.
Pondering!

Being intrigued by the sous vide method, i see some use for it but...........

While all those "apps" may be useful, if & when the system crashes how many are w/out a cooked or spoiled meal.

Too many people and business depend and are dependent on the computer / internet to get by in life. Yesterday the internet went down due to a contractor cutting a major line in town. 1/3 the business using things such as on line coupons for discounts etc, were unable to conduct business. To make matters worse. Having so many dependent on a computer has given society a generation of people who cannot only do basic math in their head BUT stumble when they need to use the calculator on their phone.

Rely on apps and bluetooth to cook a meal, i'll pass.
