Cricut is launching its new Cricut Heat application that works with the new EasyPress 3 and Cricut Hat Press.
Disclosure: Thanks to Cricut for providing me with the product for review. I am not paid or sponsored by Cricut to write this post. All opinions are 100% my own and honest.

The new Cricut Heat app is available for free in 12 languages in the Apple Store and Google Play Store.
It is specially designed to connect to the EasyPress 3 and the new Cricut Hat Press since they are the only two Cricut presses with Bluetooth connectivity.
How does it work?
As with the Cricut Heat Guide (see below), you will have to select the press, your heat-transfer material and your base material.
Then the app will NOT just tell you the required temperature and time, it will send the information directly to your press!
It will then guide you, step by step, on everything you have to do. Preheating, pressing, cold or warm peel and even care instructions!
It is very important to note that the EasyPress 3 and the Cricut Hat Press can be used without the app. But the app will be absolutely required for the first activation and registration of your press.
After that, you’ll be able to decide if you want to use the app or not.
But if you are a beginner and you do not feel comfortable with all the steps that you need to take to press a project (or if you often have your head in the clouds like me!?) the app can be a super assistant in the success of your projects!
What will happen to the Cricut Heat Guide?
If you’re familiar with the Cricut Heat Guide, you know how useful it can be.
Be aware that it will not disappear and will always be available (and even updated) for presses that do not have Bluetooth connectivity. This includes the new Cricut Autopress!
So it’s clear for you, I made you a small summary table!
| Cricut Heat App | Cricut Heat Guide |
|---|---|
| EasyPress 3 | EasyPress |
| Hat Press | EasyPress 2 |
| EasyPress mini | |
| Mug Press | |
| Autopress |
Availability
The Cricut Heat app will be available in 12 languages for free in the Apple Store and Google Play Store starting March 13, 2022, for Canada and the United States and May 1 for Europe.

What is the difference between everyday iron-on and iron on designs? I was so confused about which to select as my base material when using an off brand HTV!

If you're using off-brand, you should always check the recommended setting of this manufacturer. Therefore, you would not need the app.
