Anova will start charging a subscription fee for its sous vide companion app
Convenience will cost you extra.
Starting on August 21st, 2024, Anova will be introducing a subscription fee for new users of its sous vide cookers who want to take advantage of additional features available through its mobile companion app, including controlling the appliance remotely. As explained in a blog post shared on the company’s website last week, existing users and those who purchase an Anova cooker before August 21st can still use all of the app’s features for free, but everyone will be required to create an account to do so. Although many users have shared their displeasure with the decision in the blog post’s comments, Anova is letting consumers choose if they want to pay more for the company’s products, instead of just increasing the price of its hardware, as Digital Trends points out.
