About this app

You tell us what youā€™re cooking, we tell you when itā€™s ready. Making a two-inch steak? Great. Just tap the Start button, and Joule will set a timer for perfect doneness. Get notified when your steak is readyā€”and weā€™ll also tell you how much longer it can stay in the water without overcooking.

The app is has good cooking instructions that include short videos. It's very flaky, if I move to a different app it eventually loses connection to the stick but frequently has trouble reconnecting. If I reload the app it starts from the beginning losing the data from the initial cook time. It's not optimized for a tablet either. It works well with the basics like setting the temperature but after that it's best to set your own timer.

I consistently have issues connecting the Joule even though I am right next to it for Bluetooth and 10 yards with no obstructions to the wifi. In addition, I do not get notifications when done cooking on my phone unless I have the phone left open on the app itself. Lots of work needs to be done. I do like the guide to cook. There are pictures on what you can expect your food to look like with different doneness.

The app has some awesome features, but it's also got a bug that makes it practically unusable in my experience. It would be a five star app, except that on my Deco mesh network, with the joule on the most recent firmware, and my Samsung S24 on the most recent android patch, it takes practically two minutes to do anything. Start a cook? Spins for 2 minutes. Check the firmware? Spins for two minutes. The delay means I can't just pull my phone out and start a cook, and it drives me crazy.

What's new

Notice weā€™ve gone a little gray (our icon, that is)? We got tired of driving into town to get our color done and are embracing our silver fox status. But not to worry, weā€™re just laying low and getting ready for the big move over to our new app. We canā€™t wait to show you around the place. Stay tuned for more.
