## Review summary

User reviews mainly cite connectivity instability and inconsistent app performance. The app design and remote temp monitoring are praised when it works, with fast response times. However, frequent Bluetooth/Wi-Fi disconnects, repeated re-pairing, unreliable readings/controls, and device removal from the app are common complaints. Stability across devices/updates is a recurring issue, and 2.4 GHz network requirements are noted as setup hurdles.

### Pros

- User-friendly app design and interface.
- Convenient remote temperature monitoring while cooking.
- Fast and reliable app-to-grill response when connected.
- Overall app enhances grilling experience when the connection is working.

### Cons

- Frequent connectivity issues: Bluetooth/Wi-Fi pairing failures and repeated disconnections.
- Unreliable across updates and devices: need to re-pair or re-add the smoker, often failing to reconnect.
- Temperature/time controls and readings are not reliable: probes read 0 or changes aren't applied, with blocking error messages.
- App occasionally removes the device or forgets it, requiring re-adding.
- 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi requirement and strict network/password limitations hinder setup.
