Yeah, I need to start being better about this. It's a shame because I bought my joule sous vide because I like the simplicity and ability to monitor and program it remotely (helpful when cooking for 5-6h). App stopped working properly and now they've been purchased by breville and if I want to use it I need to switch and I'm guessing it won't be long before they start to drop functionallity or require some sort of subscription. There are things like this where the app is much more than a gimmick. But it sucks to have some company pulling the strings of what you can or can't do with your own hardware.
