This app connects by Bluetooth to the Anova Precision immersion heater. But I expected a role for user-entered variables in the time/temp calculation. For example, I cooked salmon that was about 50 cm thick, but the only thickness value offered in this app is 25 cm, so the calculation was wrong for my dish.
