User Reviews

Users praise the BBQ Guru hardware for quality and good temperature control when working. However, the Android app suffers from major issues including unstable Bluetooth and WiFi connectivity, frequent crashes especially during firmware updates, poor UI design, inaccurate temperature readings, and unreliable remote control features. Firmware updates sometimes improve functionality but are mandatory and disruptive. These software shortcomings undermine the otherwise excellent hardware and frustrate users who rely on remote monitoring. Overall, the app's instability and connection issues are the primary complaints from multiple reviewers.

Pros

The hardware/controller itself is considered exceptional or good by some users.
When functioning properly, the app controls cooking temperature effectively and maintains the fire at the correct temperature.
Firmware updates sometimes restore or improve the app's functionality.
Customer support is responsive in some cases and provides guidance for setup.
The app enables remote control capabilities and web access (Share My Cook) when working as intended.

Cons

Bluetooth connectivity is inconsistent, with frequent disconnects and difficulty pairing.
WiFi connection is unstable or fails to work properly; the app may show connected while functionality is lacking.
The app crashes often, especially during firmware updates or when attempting certain functions.
User interface is poorly designed and unintuitive, with faulty features like alarms and ramp mode.
Firmware updates are mandatory, sometimes forced during cooking, which is disruptive and can cause issues.
Temperature readings can be inaccurate or delayed, leading to problems during cooking.
The app frequently requires force closing and restarting to regain functionality.

Recent reviews

This thing is a dental tool on my ear drum. Constant firmware updates, trouble connecting, often disconnects when it does finally connect. If this was just an offline only controller it would be fine, but I got this controller and app for the remote control capabilities and here it fails.

This is the biggest piece of junk I have ever seen. Will not connect to Bluetooth. Every time I use this I have to spend 40 minutes trying to get it to connect. Suddenly it connects, but then drops again. Another 40 minutes uninstalling, installing, trying to pair. I am done. There has to be something less frustrating on the market
