Of wich year? Did I miss something? Frankly, I have been using the APCs only without the app becuase of all the connectivity problems in the last years. I would have given it another try with the multiple APC feature but from what I can see it is not implemted yet. 😟

Am I the only one who thinks this thread is dead? Really disappointing…

So here it is 2019… and there is still no solution? So glad I purchased the nano as a second anova! And no… I do not want to use my husband’s phone… how many years more?

Until hell freezes over?

Technically, allowing a single phone to control more than one Anova is trivial. But Anova’s programmers are still trying to get their heads around the concept of a space character in a wifi password. Controlling more than one Anova from a single phone is definitely in the “advanced software engineering challenges” category for them.

Hi @Arnstein_Larsen

I’m of the opinion that this is a dead feature request. (Please be aware that this is simply my opinion.) While I personally don’t have a need for this functionality I can understand the frustration that others have! Bottom line is that the control software for the Joule appears to be superior to the software produced by Anova.  
I find the “on-device” controls on the Anova work for me, but if control of multiple sous vide devices from a single phone/tablet, or using multiple phones/tablets to operate a single sous vide device are capabilities you need then the Joule is the sous vide cooker for you. Anova appears to have given up.

Not sure if this app can do it. Might try and contact the creator.
