Summary

The app receives overwhelmingly negative feedback, primarily due to recent updates that introduced widespread connectivity issues with both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, leading to frequent disconnections and crashes on various devices including newer iPhone models. Many users are frustrated by the new subscription model, which has locked previously free core functionalities and recipes behind a paywall, often rendering the app useless even for "grandfathered" users. While the physical cooker is sometimes praised, the app's instability, inability to connect to devices, and perceived "greedy" business practices have severely impacted the user experience.
