Hi all, Firstly let me say I’m a huge fan of the first Anova. I’ve used it with great success and sung your praises to all who would listen. I just received the 2nd gen and was greatly impressed with the build. My only complaint is the interface is so clunky and non-intuitive. Also, what’s with the timer only going in 5 minute increments? The first generation was much easier to use to program temps and times. Please tell me you guys are working on this, right? I know the app is coming, so I won’t give up yet but I need this changed or it’ll be coming back to you since my first one is still working perfectly. Please make this super easy with the app. I can’t be the only person frustrated by this. ---

The limitations in temp and timer in .5\* and 5 minute increments presumably is because the App will allow you to do much more precision. Scrolling smaller increments with the wheel would be tedious.
