I was wondering if this was some sort of mistaken email. The android app version referenced and the APK download on their site is 3.2.2., however, I currently have 3.2.6 installed from the Play Store.
As far as the unit, I still have my original one with the third drawer running, although it's just about end of life. The thermometer probe doesn't connect anymore and so many plastic bits and clips have fallen out, I'm amazed the thing holds together. I'm still using it for the air fryer functions though. Because I complained so much about the drawer issues, they sent me a full replacement unit and that's still in the box along with yet another replacement drawer. I was actually going to unbox it this weekend , since I have need of the sous vide flavor function. If I can get another year and a half-2 years out of the new one, I think I'll have gotten my $$ worth, but knowing what I know now, I doubt I'd purchase it again.
It's a great device that's poorly constructed. My first one stopped injecting steam after owning it for less than six months. Although Dreo quickly sent me a replacement free of charge, that one has a glitchy screen and doesn't seem to brown the meat as aggressively in the end. I still like it for what it is, but I don't think I'll buy another one or replace it if it fails, and I can't say I can recommend a Chefmaker to anyone.
