User Reviews

Users praise the app's accurate temperature control and comprehensive monitoring features. However, many reports highlight frequent connectivity problems, unstable and confusing user interface, and challenges with account creation and login. The app lacks Bluetooth connection, relying heavily on WiFi, which causes issues during cooking. Essential features like fan manual override and sharing options are missing. Despite good hardware and customer support, the app's usability and reliability need significant improvement.

Pros

Effective temperature control for cooking.
Accurate thermometer readings for pit and meat.
Comprehensive temperature monitoring with multiple probe support.
Auto notifications and cook history tracking.
Good customer support response when contacted.

Cons

Persistent connectivity issues: frequent disconnections, difficulty connecting locally and via WiFi.
Clunky and unstable user interface with frequent crashes and poor error messaging.
Account creation and login problems, sometimes requiring VPN or multiple attempts.
Lack of Bluetooth or direct connection mode, reliance on WiFi network causes usability problems.
Missing key features such as fan manual override and sharing cook data with friends.

Recent reviews

Does a great job of controlling temperature. Love the charting functionality. An android widget showing pit temp, probe temp, and fan output would be amazing.

Couldn't even create an account. I put in my password and pressed next, and nothing happened. No error. Not spending $250 for something with such a bad app.
