Would give 0 if I could. Have called support multiple times over 3 months. Each time, I get told I can't be helped. Smoker has a recall. I performed the recall. Smoker will not recognize my network. Just crashes back to set up an appliance and help screen. Double-check all settings, and it still crashes back to initial screen. Was basically told all support for me smoker was cut do to age. Given to me and can't be used......save up and buy a better smoker than this company.

Always hard to connect to and stay connected too. I tried to use free WiFi at a gathering which does not have a password, and this app still makes you put in a password. Needless to say I could not connect to the WiFi and this system is next to impossible to use without WiFi for chip burn.
