I have the Bluetooth version, so take my comments with that in mind. As Alyssa stated, Bluetooth is rather limited in terms of distance, so I find that the connection to the Anova gets broken fairly quickly as I walk around the house. It does reconnect when you come closer but can take awhile. Having said that, you’re not losing out much as the app provides little value to the actual cooking process. Since all you’re concerned about with sous vide is time and temperature, both can be set (somewhat awkwardly in the case of time) from the unit. So set the temp on the Anova and use the timer on your phone which will travel with you wherever you go. I assume there may be more benefits from a WiFi unit (use of the ice bath, for example). The recipes in the database are nice but you can get even more candidates just by Googling. Bon appetit!
