My Gourmate

Love the machine. But the app looks like it’s a Trojan horse. Why? Because it does not work at all. Stuck in a “permissions loop” even though my phone immediately connected with the App, and the App to the appliance, but thereafter it is stuck in a loop of confirmation permissions that go nowhere. But the App is sure to ask to ask the user for permission to “search for other appliances”. For what purpose? So the Chinese Communist Party (since all Mainland Chinese companies are State Owned Enterprises (SOE), they have an obligation to swear allegiance to the Communist Party above their own well being, their spouses, children and kin. Everything allowed under communism is permitted for the express purpose of spreading more communism. That’s how communism works. Except if you ask a communist party member in China about this, they’ll tell you it’s not true because China is not communist, it is socialist, aspiring to the communist ideal. So what this little machine and its app are doing, is trying to spy on the user to harvest, any beneficial information that will further communist party ideals, and principles. I put a ticket in for support. I will revise this review if support actually results in a fruitful outcome. If not, I will simply continue to use the machine, uninstall the app and go about my own business devoid of communist and Marxist ideals and spyware.

The cooking machine is great and it really has the potential to do so much more. That's why the recipe library should be updates and bigger. And yes, connecting to the app can be a little bit challenging but manageable.

My phone is connected with Wi-Fi, but the App is unable to search my Wi-Fi. There is no option to let you adding your network or choose cellular data. The app is useless when you are not connected with WiFi. I don’t know why it can’t work via Bluetooth instead of Wi-Fi. Their scale is not accurate when using in the machine, I am hoping to get the app work for accurate scale. However, it won’t work anything in the app without Wi-Fi.
