Remote Control for Smart WiFi

App stopped working and all my favourite recipes are not accessible anymore

I got my instant pot in 2018 and at that time, the app had massive accessibility issues. I'm totally blind and I rely on this app to look at settings on my instant pot, so this is a problem. Contacted them several times, nothing. Fast forward to now: I was trying to make an absolutely delicious Indian recipe. I'd just gotten a phone replacement, and the app had logged me out as a result. Fine, Ill just log back in. Nope. Whenever I enter my password, I get "There was a server error. Please try again later.""What kind of server error? Is the password wrong? Is the server down? Does my account not exist? GIVE ME AN ERROR CODE! I'M A WEB DESIGNER! JUST GIVE ME THE GODDAMN ERROR!" Nope. So, there I sat with my food ready to go, and with no way to actually set the pressure cooker. I decided to try reinstalling the app. This didn't help (sorry, spoiler alert) but it did tell me a lot of things. 1. The app has a whopping 2.25 stars in Canada! I don't know if I've ever seen a rating that bad. 2. One of the first reviews is from over a year ago, from a user who had the exact same issue I did--server error when logging in. So apparently, this has been a thing for over a year and IP still hasn't managed to fix it. 3. I had to actually search for "remote Control for Smart Wi-fi." If I search for ïnstant pot"or anything like that, I don't find the app. How does this stupid thing not have ïnstant pot"somewhere in its name? Look, I get that I'm being petty, but I'm straight out of the kitchen after fighting with this stupid, stupid app, a can opener that couldn't, the pot itself, and life in general. I'm just done. I had to video chat a friend just to set my own instant pot. Why the hell did I buy this ridiculously expensive smart device if the smart part doesn't even work? I get that I could connect it with Alexa or Google, and I didn't think of that at the time, but that would be bypassing the app entirely so it still deserves one star. Get your crap together.

Bought a smart wifi instantpot just for the wifi option and it’s a total waste. The app never works! It constantly disconnects to the point where I can no longer connect at all. Waste of time and very disappointed with instantpot. I wish I returned it when I bought it right away but I was hoping all would get fixed.

I’ve been using this app for a couple of years without issue. However with the most recent updates the landscape orientation has been removed. My iPad will not stand on my counter while I am cooking in portrait, it only stands in landscape. Please reinstate landscape view and I’ll be glad to reinstate a five star review. Your other app, “Instant Pot”, only has landscape view, but it is missing some of my favourite recipes when I log in and they don’t appear when I search for them either. The other drawback with it is that you cannot add notes on adaptations you’ve made to a recipe, like you can with “Remote Control....”.

Totally pointless app now

Thank you instant pot for fixing the app promptly!

Everytime I try to login, the app tells me I have a server error. Tried resetting me password, and still no response. I can’t connect my phone to the instant pot at all, so this is useless.

Waste of time doesn’t connect at all please fix it you guys are such a loved brand please don’t let me down by purchasing this

Ask for passwords says its incorrect, so creat account say already have an account. Rince and repeat over and over. Dont wast your time

This remote app is a real pain to use. Not only are the recipes extremely limited, but annoying to navigate!! The categories and filters are not helpful, just make it more of a pain to find a recipe! The separate instant pot recipe app is actually decent to navigate. Why can’t this remote app just model itself after that one with the functionality of pairing? It’s frustrating to think about why this isn’t being done. I bought the Wi-Fi instant pot thinking it would be simple and easier to cook with the instant pot. After finding the complete opposite, there really is no pros to buying instant pot. Any other brand will do since it can do all the same things with the same recipes. Disappointed.
