It is utterly bullshit. But is the app required for using the device?

Also

The subscription fee will only apply to people who make an account after August 21. Those who downloaded the app and made an account before August 21 won't have to pay. But everyone will have to make an account; some people have been using the app without one until now

So it's not as bad as it seems, at least.

Except, prior to this announcement, there was apparently another statement from Anova that you can’t control the first gen ones.

the announcement follows an Anova statement saying it will no longer let users remotely control their kitchen gadgets via Bluetooth starting on September 28, 2025.
