Well, it doesn’t seem to work all that well: [My experiences after a few weeks - #6 by michihenning](https://community.anovaculinary.com/t/my-experiences-after-a-few-weeks/9524/6) The incessant beeping is just too annoying. If it would beep, say, once every 30 seconds for two minutes, and then back off to beeping once every five minutes for the next hour, and then back off to beeping once an hour thereafter, it would be much more user-friendly. I’ve given up on the built-in timer, and I don’t use the app anymore. I start the Anova with the start button, set a kitchen timer or a timer on my phone, and stop the Anova directly at the device again once I get the reminder. That works every time, and I don’t get beeped eternally while I’m the middle of a conversation or otherwise occupied with something. And, instead of a beep, I get a nice sound clip of my own choosing. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.anovaculinary.com/t/how-i-love-those-beeps/10387)._
