Love my Joule! Love Chefsteps! – Joule: Sous Vide by ChefSteps Review

I've been a premium member for a couple of years and waited with great anticipation (and perhaps a soupçon of frustration) for the Joule to finally arrive. Man was it worth the wait! I have two other immersion circulators by different companies, this one tops them all in my opinion. The small size makes it easier to put in the pot along with all my sous vide goodies, not taking up a third of the surface area like my other two. The convenience and visual doneness guide in the app are terrific, my results tend to come quite close to what they show. The recipes, as expected, are spot on and always come out perfectly. That said, I have a couple of items that I would like to see addressed. To the point of earlier reviewers of this latest update, it did go wonky on me and all of the Joule recipes and visual doneness guides disappeared. Rather than rip them with a 1 star review, I read the helpful and responsive replies from the Team and deleted and reinstalled the app, Presto! All fixed. Keep in mind, it is unusual in and of itself for someone to be that on top of their customers feedback! I've always appreciated that about them. I have noticed the app does lag when searching and loading recipes, I can only assume this is due to the content rich environment they have laid before us. My only other item, more of a humble suggestion really, would be to add the ability for the user to flag and bookmark their favorites so they can quickly go back to them, particularly if like me they have their go-to nightly recipes and like to have them at the ready. Thanks again to an amazing group out there in Seattle bringing this world to light for the rest of us!
