This is very interesting. Someone else with whom I corresponded on this
topic told me they didn't think having the iOS access and accessibility
was worthwhile. With all you mentioned, I can't possibly imagine how my
correspondant could have thought that.

Hi Alan,
If you want to use the app, which is fully accessible, you would need
to get the instant pot model that includes Bluetooth. That
unfortunately makes it a good deal more expensive. The instant pot
does have very tactile buttons on the front. So if you didn’t want to
spend the money, you could make yourself a braille chart of what the
buttons do. That having been said, I do have the Bluetooth model and
I’m glad. One of the things that you can do is adjust the cooking
duration. That is easy with the Bluetooth model. If you just have the
one with the buttons were nothing talks you would have to remember the
various amounts of time that you’re starting with depending on what
operation you want to do, and then I assume hit a plus or minus button
to advance or decrease the amount of time.
You can monitor the temperature with the app. You can monitor the time
remaining under pressure. You can set the duration as I noted. Of
course, you can also tell it to do various things like soup, rice,
manual, there are a whole bunch of them. I’m honestly not sure how
much difference all those things make, except there are times that are
preset of course, but they can be changed by you. You can also slow
cook or make yogurt, none of which I have done. You do have to pair
the device, which means before you can do anything with the app, you
have to hit a certain button on the pot to start the process. And I
honestly don’t remember which one that is. There is a section for
recipes. I never use it. On the bottom there are tabs, and I always go
to the one that says dashboard. That is where you can decide what sort
of cooking you want and set the various parameters accessibly. You can
do a lot with these things, and I’m sure I have not made as much use
of mind for different things as many people on the huge Insta pot
facebook group have done.

Hi List,
I know this isn't a cooking list but I have a question about the
Instant Pot and what exactly its iOS app allows one to control. I
read the Instant Pot app description and it seems to talk more about
recipes as opposed to controlling the device with the app. Can anyone
who uses an Instant Pot give me some direction on what the app allows
you to do and whether it's accessible? Is there a particular Instant
Pot model that I need to get to obtain app control over it?
Thanks so much for any help you can provide.
