Tovala for iPhone

Quick overview

Tovala’s companion app for iPhone — created by Maestro Food Co. — is a free tool that links to the Tovala Smart Oven and streamlines meal kit ordering. Cooking is largely automated: scan a meal’s QR code (or barcode), and the app programs the oven for the proper cook cycle.

Core capabilities

• Scan packaged meal codes (QR or barcode) to launch the right cooking program automatically.
• Use built-in cooking presets for gentle or minimal-intervention recipes.
• Combine different cooking modes to create custom cycles for versatile results.
• Operate your Smart Oven remotely from your phone for start/stop and adjustments.
• Connect the oven to your home Wi‑Fi as part of initial setup and to enable remote features.
• Browse the rotating weekly menu and place orders for meals designed to cook in the Tovala oven.
• Monitor delivery status and get updates about incoming shipments.
• Receive a notification when a dish finishes so you know when to serve.
• Sync meal nutrition data with Apple Health (HealthKit) so each meal’s info is logged automatically.
• Leave ratings for Tovala meals and message customer support directly through the app.

Ordering and delivery

The app displays the current weekly selection and lets you add meal deliveries to your plan. You can review upcoming shipments, change selections before a cutoff, and follow delivery progress so you know when your next batch of meals will arrive.

Cooking workflow

After pairing the oven and connecting it to Wi‑Fi, preparation is straightforward: scan the code on a Tovala meal (or a compatible pantry/frozen item), and the app sends the optimum cook settings to the oven. Built-in presets and custom mode combinations give you flexibility for items that need lighter touch or mixed cooking methods. The app also alerts you when the cycle is complete.

Nutrition tracking and support

Tovala can push nutritional details into the iPhone Health app via HealthKit, making it easy to keep a meal log. If you have feedback or need help, you can rate meals and chat with the support team directly inside the app.

Suggested alternative

If you’re comparing other options, one free alternative listed is McDonald’s POS Training — a different type of resource that focuses on point-of-sale training rather than at-home meal automation.

Why it helps

For anyone who wants fewer decisions and less hands-on time in the kitchen, Tovala’s app automates much of the cooking process, coordinates deliveries, and ties nutrition tracking and customer support into a single mobile experience.
