About two phone changes ago I never reinstalled the anova app.

It's like pressing the buttons on top of the cooker with extra steps.

yeah there are apps I want on my phone, but if anything says 'there is an app' I'm instantly averse.

even the things I do want phone apps for, I have to browse on fdroid because default options are all terrible. basic shit like file browsers and media players in commercial OS's are just, like, vile and do not function. even if I didn't care about the endoscopes they try to snake up every orifice, they are deliberately nonfunctional.
