Bummer to find that the calibration was waaay off.&nbsp; Cold tap water at 68 degrees F was read at 98 degrees F by cooker.&nbsp; even after 1/2 hour of equilibrium rest.&nbsp; spread of 30 degrees is well beyond the +/- 17.8 degrees F allowed by calibration on&nbsp;the&nbsp;phone app.

 Looks like return city.

Agreed - you really can’t have that much variance. &nbsp;(me, I wouldn’t be willing to accept the 17.8 degrees either) - this is called the PRECISION cooker, right? 🙂

  

@tito2928 - the iOS wifi app is in beta -&nbsp;[Apple iPhone iOS App is Availabe - Anova Culinary - Anova Support - Anova Community | Food Nerd Forum | Anova Culinary](http://community.anovaculinary.com/discussion/1427/ios-beta-app-for-the-precision-cooker-wi-fi/p1)

You can use the existing bluetooth apps available for iOS and Android (the Android beta is anticipated to kick off next month). &nbsp;If you sign up for the beta, you should anticipate some “bugginess” in the app - that’s the point of a beta - to find bugs. &nbsp;If you have a low tolerance for such behaviour, still with the existing bluetooth apps until the wifi apps are released to the app stores.

if you have the wifi version: download anova app

be sure your cell phone is connected to your home wifi & Bluetooth is turned on.

open anova app.

This works exactly as described!&nbsp; I didn’t realize that I could connect the WiFi version via Bluetooth until I tried it. 4th cook and no surprises…
