User Reviews

The Android Camp Chef app is plagued by connectivity issues, crashes, and poor real-time readings, with limited probe/configuration options. While the grill hardware is generally regarded as solid and Bluetooth/Wi‑Fi control is available, the app’s reliability is inconsistent across users and updates. Typical feedback centers on frequent disconnects, forced restarts, and missing/slow temperature alarms, indicating a need for major stability fixes and better maintenance.

Pros

The grill hardware is described as a solid performer / reliable in use.
The app supports Bluetooth and Wi‑Fi connectivity to the grill, enabling control via mobile.
Some users report that the Android version works reliably in specific setups (e.g., multiple grills in different locations).

Cons

Unstable or dropping connections between the app and grill (Bluetooth/Wi‑Fi) is the most frequent complaint.
Frequent crashes, freezes, or forced closes requiring app restarts.
Inability to configure probes (names, target temperatures) and meat-type settings or alarms in the app.
Temperatures readings often not real-time or show large, sudden swings.
App updates regressions and ongoing maintenance concerns; many users feel the app is not reliable.

Recent reviews

The new updated App is a major downgrade. when you set custom probe temp in the manual option it doesn't actually save it. I also cant finds any alarms to set if the probes hit those temps or if the smoker is getting too hot or on fire.

Horrible app. I regularly have connection issues, including after starting a cook. Cannot rely on it to track temps at all.

Je*****, 2026-06-01

worked well at first and just quit. I can still read the probes but cannot adjust remotely and will no longer run at all unless close enough to use Bluetooth and then still only a visual. no control. This is useless and a big disappointment considering the $$$ forked out to purchase one of these units. will NOT be buying camp chef products in the future.
