i have a Crux my daughter got me. No app for it. But i did download the annova and joule apps for cooking suggestions. It works well for me. Inkbird is a sponsor here and lots of the guys use their SV. And You can occasionally find a discount code for them.

I have the Inkbird ISV-200w. It has worked well so far, and the app is decent.

I have an Anova Precision, which I use most of the time, and an Anova Pro that I use if I want to use a large cooler for my water bath.

I use the Doug Baldwin instructions and tables as well as the Anova site instead of an app. Once I found my sweet spot for certain things, I just recorded that info into a SV journal.

Have had my Inkbird for almost a year now and it works great. Didn't break the bank on it either.

Joule for me. No issues at all. Americas test kitchen recommend it so I bought one. Couldn’t be happier

If you want to try it fairly inexpensively to see if its some thing you want to do, the Monoprice Strata can be had for $50 with free shipping. With that thought in mind I bought one 6 yrs ago just to see if I liked it. Shortly after, Anova closed out their 900 watt line and I picked one of those up for $28 on clearance. I was going to switch over to it but decided to use the Strata until the wheels fell off which I thought would happen in a year or two. A couple weeks ago it finally gave up the ghost in the middle of a cook and I made the switch to the Anova. I was surprised and impressed that it lasted that long as much as it was used. No bells and whistles but it works.

I bought a VPCOK for 24 bucks on Prime day. It works wonderfully for me. Fun toy to have.
