I have one of their's that can connect to your phone. It's not needed, it just adds extra cook book functions. It even hosts it so you can control the sous vide when you're not at home, almost like a reverse proxy.

But yea the physical buttons work fine without the app.

What I like about having the Bluetooth connection to the app, is mostly just to see when the water has come up to temperature.

But that was apparently too much to ask, since it says that they are also removing the Bluetooth functionality from the app...
