Hi, Thanks for all the responses. I have reached out to the instant pot support email and explained my situation. I found out from youtube about pressing the button on the pot itself, but when I do I get a message that says app with a blinking wifi indicator. However the pairing never succeeds. I am standing right in front of the pot when I do this. Anyway, I'll see what the instant pot folks say about it.
Regarding the app, it does seem very accessible with the exception of the recipe area. You can access the recipes by moving your finger around the screen then double tapping the one you are interested in, but you can't flick through the list of recipes which makes navigating a bit tricky. Once in the recipe itself things work pretty well and all ingrediets and instructions are readable. I'll let everyone know how this all works out. Thanks again for the responses.
