Interesting? Does that screen change whenever it's powered on and cooking? I ask because it looks like they not only made the temp adjustment a slider but they removed some data we had previously. Namely the probe temps. Can you tap on the #'s and manually key in the temperature? When I spoke with them on the phone I suggested they make this an option as it was FAR better than tapping + or - about a million times. I feel like the slider is an upgrade but I'd like to see an option added to it to manually key in the temp you want as well. No reason they can't have both and people can choose whatever they want. This app looks.... different. I won't say it looks better because I see nothing that looks like a UI improvement. Maybe it will function better which I'm holding out hope for since that's for more important.
Their crux is still the notifications it seems. Too many when you don't want them (I don't need a dozen when changing the temperature) and too few when you do need them (I've already ruined several meals I was preparing for a large group thanks to no notifications during high-traffic periods). Just kind of feels like a clown show over there as it applies to their smart aspects of their product. They really need to invest on improving this aspect and it's clear that they assume it's an afterthought and that most people don't care. This myopic view of their current customer base is losing site of the new customers they can bring on with a superior smart portion being as those how this new generation interacts with everything.
I'd be happy with function over form at this point but it kinda feels like they don't care about either one.
