Exactly, the Instant Pot Bluetooth is listed in the available choices for Instant Pots. How much it connects and all that I don't know since I don't have one. I also had downloaded the app, I set up an account and went through the entire setup to the point where I would have had to connect to the network the new Instant Pot WiFi creates and then of course I had to stop. Everything was very accessible for the setup. I am not saying that I believe the app is wonderful since many people have reported there are issues, but I'm just saying the setup is accessible and I had posted a few weeks ago that people who had the Bluetooth model could maybe give it a try since it was listed.

What do I need to know? Mary, I downloaded the newer Instant Pot app yesterday even though I don't have one and was taken through a setup where you first indicate your Instant Pot model and I'm pretty sure I heard the Bluetooth model as being one of the choices. They next prompted me to set up an account and since I don't even have one of the pots, I bailed and uninstalled the app. Alan Lemly Sent from my iPhone > On Dec 2, 2018, at 10:16 AM, Mary Otten <[email protected]> wrote: > > Where did you get the idea that the new app support the old cooker?
