Need more option

Bought this app for a beef roast Just says over 4 hours cook time and guessing Maximum 5" thickness Waste of money

CRAPPY, OUTDATED, PROBLEMATIC APP! Dont buy this app!!!

HORRIBLE APP!!! Keeps crashing, locking up my iphone, and is NOT COMPATIBLE with the new iOS. This app hasnt been update in YEARS!!!!

Great

Please add support screen resolution of iPhone 5 and later

Want a refund

I read a recommendation for this app so I bought it but its nothing I was looking for. Any way I can get a refund?

negative deg celsius not supported

need to be able to set initial core temp to - (negative) degrees celsius = out of freezer. otherwise useless.

Love this App already

And I am sure it will get better for example pictures of the equipment when you pick it Under Beef would be great to see to see the actual cuts and some recommendations ie Brisket Ability to add your own notes ( maybe its their and I can not figure it out)

Good Start but long way to go before complete.

This app covers only popular cuts of meat and fish. I would have liked to see a more compete list including liver, venison (white deer, red deer, etc.), pork belly, duck, squab, etc…. I hope that these will be included in future updates.

Really great app

I have use this app for a while and it is fantastic very useful reference at hand to have

Great app

This app is great. It takes the guesswork out of sous vide cooking. Could use an update for iOS 7.

Missing beef cuts

So many cuts of beef are missing. But they include fois gras. Not valuable for home use.

Useful

If you cook sous vide ever.

Best Sous Vide Tool ever

So far I have used it half a dozen times, and everything has come out perfect. Its also saved a lot of time documenting my sous vide cooking for the health Dept. Thanks Poly Science!

Fantastic app

Great for helping time almost anything you want to cook sous vide. I wish they would include vegetables in the product selection though.

Missing key elements

Although this application is beautifully written and well presented, there is many missing types of foods that would be helpful to have sous vide cooking information for. For example, this application does not support any vegetables. Also, all of the meat is very generic. For example there is no flank steak. This application would be far more useful if the variety of elements were more expensive.

Complete yet clear, now with more features

Wow, all the details you might want to know, in one very slick, easy on the eye, and brain, app. Brilliant.

A good start

Being a professional chef with a fairly good grasp on the production of sous vide techniques in a busy restaurant I can say that this app is more than efficient for home use but would really love to see a few more features. Such as ... Being able to record and save the data log would be beneficial to completing a HACCP plan. And if Polysciene had a hypodermic probe that could connect through a 30 pin connector on an iPad you could see the actual temp in your protein in real time instead of predicting. I think over time this app will evolve and be essential to professional sous vide cooking. imagine if you could record all your HACCP plan data through your iPad and not have the fus with the redundant NYCDOH paper work.

Same as Sous Vide Dash!!!

I have Sous Vide Dash. I think I paid a couple bucks for it. Since I own a PolyScience IC, I thought Id buy their app, just to compare the two. ITS LITERALLY THE SAME APP. I mean, really? How about a friendly heads-up from the developer, or PolyScience, or Apple, THAT THEYRE THE EXACT SAME APP UNDER DIFFERENT NAMES? Super lame; waste of $5. Asking for a refund.

A good start, but

A good start, but limited. For example, you can get estimated times for boneless chicken breast yet not bone in chicken breast. It also doesnt allow for measurements less than an inch which further limits its effectiveness.

Great way to understand log reduction!

Not the same as Sous Vide Dash, but built off the same platform. Measurements down to 9/16". Visually graphed log reductions is something every Chef should see and use. Highly versatile. Would love to see recovery times of larger baths worked into the algorithm. Great app. Imagine great things will come in future updates.

Inconsistent

This app looks great, it has an easy interface and you would think the temperatures and times are very precise. But they arent. The truth is that all the data in this app doesnt match any data offered by polyscience in their guides that come with the products or the ones on their website. If you are a beginner with these type of products and cooking you will probably be buying this app along with your polyscience immersion circulator, and Im sure you will be very confused with almost every time and temperature you need to make your first recipes. This app is the exact copy of sousvide dash, they just put the polyscience logo and another developer in the description, maybe thats why all the data has nothing to do with the one offered by polyscience. In addition to all mentioned above the data in this app is not accurate when you compare with other temperature and time tables in several websites and books. Dont buy this app, you will be very confused if you are a beginner and you would be loosing your money.
