## Review summary

Users generally find the CloudBBQ app has an attractive and straightforward interface with accurate temperature readings and support for multiple probes. However, multiple reviews highlight significant issues: the app does not run in the background, causing missed alarms and monitoring stoppages; it is prone to crashes especially when probes reach target temperatures; Bluetooth connections are unstable and drop frequently; customization of temperature presets is limited or unavailable; and graphing or data logging is poor with no background operation. These flaws undermine the otherwise good hardware and basic app functionality.

### Pros

- The app interface is aesthetically pleasing and easy to use, similar to the Inkbird app.
- The temperature readings are accurate with reliable Bluetooth connection when connected.
- The device and app allow monitoring multiple probes with individual temperature and timer settings.
- The app and device offer preprogrammed temperature settings for different meats making it convenient.
- The app performs basic functions like displaying current temperature effectively when active.

### Cons

- The app does not run in the background, causing alarms not to sound and monitoring to stop when the app is not open.
- The app frequently crashes when a probe reaches target temperature or under Bluetooth conditions, causing loss of data and connection.
- Users cannot customize or edit preset temperature profiles easily; some presets cannot be deleted or edited after creation.
- Bluetooth connection is unstable and often disconnects, especially when the phone goes to sleep or moves away from the device.
- Graphing and data logging features are limited; temperature trend graphs lost if app is closed or phone sleeps, and data cannot be saved.
- User interface for setting doneness levels is unclear or difficult to use, with poor instructions and small touch areas.
