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.
