## Review summary

SmartThermo's Android app is plagued by invasive permissions and privacy concerns, with many reviewers labeling it spyware and requiring access to camera, location, and more just to start. A large number report repeated pairing issues and devices not appearing, plus crashes after updates. A minority still report success with pairing and real-time temperature readings, alarms, and a usable experience when it works. Overall, users warn against instability and privacy risks, though some find basic temperature monitoring usable when the app behaves properly.

### Pros

- Some users report successful pairing and stable connection on Android.
- When connected, the thermometer provides real-time temperature readings and can trigger an alarm for doneness.
- A few reviewers found the app fun to use and usable on Android.

### Cons

- Invasive permissions and privacy concerns; many reviewers call it spyware and require camera, location, microphone, and other access just to launch.
- Repeated pairing failures; device not showing up or cannot pair.
- Crashes and instability after updates; app becomes unusable.
- Inaccurate or inconsistent temperature readings (e.g., wrong doneness temps or skipped values).
