The app has some weird quirks to it. I hate that is you adjust a temp it starts the timer over! Who wants that? Overall, the interface isn't very easy to use of you want to run it without a preset recipe. The Wi-Fi connect also gets spotty and then it will mess up the timer. A problem when you are proofing for hours. A lot of promise but not quite there.
Crashes constantly This app crashes constantly on my Samsung Galaxy s22. It will load a recipe, usually but not always start the recipe, and then it freezes up immediately. Eventually I will get a message asking whether I want to wait or close the app. Closing the app allows me to restart it and it generally picks back up where it left off, crashing again in a few seconds. I don't think I've completed a single recipe without it crashing multiple times. The oven is great, the app is a disaster
This app is so bad. It crashes all the time. Basically every time I use it it crashes. I spend 20 minutes creating a recipe. Start the cook and realize that one attribute of the recipe is wrong so I have to stop the cook and update the recipe. Doing that makes the app crash and loses the entire recipe so I have to start over. This happens every single time it's been about a week since I bought this oven. Unfortunately the app is absolutely required for the oven to work in any practical way.
Terrible, this app is completely filled with bugs, as well as the hardware. Now they want to charge monthly for it, are you kidding me, I have had the oven for 2 years and not a single bug has been fixed, the app still doesn't work, what the heck are they thinking. Garbage, I will never buy another one of their products again, I have spent over $1000 on their products and I regret every purchase. Never again...
I just received my oven, although it is beautiful I have spent the last hour trying to connect it to the internet. I follow the steps, I am told that the connection is successful but the wifi light continues to pulse and the app spools and then it takes me back to the pin in a never ending loop. I have been unable to find and troubleshooting guide to assist and have no idea how to move forward. Based on an earlier comment, I am on app version 1.0.39 (10405). Rather disappointing.
The quality control on this app is horrible. They released a bug that made it impossible to connect to the APO. First, it was an endless cycle of entering four digit codes. The next patch (12/15) fixed that but now I can't find any WiFi networks. Support wants us to replace the oven when it's almost certainly a software bug in the app. For additional context, it used to work when I first received the oven early December but after randomly disconnecting, it hasn't been able to connect since. Edit: Tested with latest version 1.0.9, but still cannot find any WiFi networks. Currently in the process of replacing the oven for the second time.
Nice overall control of the oven and having the recipes in line is great. The two main missing features are the ability to start at any stage of a recipe, which is currently not possible. also to be able to copy the built-in recipes to easily customize. The bread recipes need to be updated to include the required baking steel. Also add a bread recipe using the "oven off" method which has been tried and true for most of us. It took me months to figure this out, which sucked.
App works and connects just fine, so far. I've run into an issue where the timer doesn't match. I set it last night for an 18hr cook and this morning, I checked the time from the app and it showed 18hrs left - and started counting down. I checked the oven, and it's showing the correct time remaining. All other settings seem to be right. The UI is good enough. I like the recipes and the ability to just hit go. I'd like to see an ability to increase the resolution to make the images smaller.
I knew I was in for it, as an early adopter. I wanted the APO -- because I've had such a good experience with the immersion cooker. The app, just like the oven itself, has its fair share of bugs, quirks, kinks, and occaisionally just doesn't work at all. Sometimes they'll push out an update, and it'll make the APO not connect to wifi. Sometimes they'll push out an update, and the app will be super slow. Just roll the dice and wait for the fix. Update: 4/25/21: WiFi still doesn't work.
It works for connecting and controlling your oven. however you cannot share recipes even amongst your household. I'm sure there are tons of users with great recipes to share. Please allow us to share. Especially since the amount of recipes is not abundant. This is a combi oven. There are bajillions of recipes for combi ovens and we should be able to input them, control the stages, and allow others the shortcut to our work. The lack of this feature has us browsing for other combi ovens.
