Review summary

Users appreciate the app's accurate temperature monitoring and remote control capabilities when it functions correctly. However, many report persistent Wi-Fi connectivity issues, unreliable notifications and alarms, app crashes, and difficulties in changing Wi-Fi settings. Several users mention that recent updates have introduced bugs affecting app stability and usability. While the grill hardware is praised, the app's inconsistent performance and connectivity problems significantly detract from the overall experience.

Pros

Works well when connected, allowing temperature monitoring and control.
Accurate temperature readings close to external thermometers.
Connects quickly and can be accessed remotely without issues.
User interface is liked by some users when the app functions properly.
Reliable once connected to a strong and stable Wi-Fi network.

Cons

Wi-Fi connectivity is inconsistent and often loses connection, requiring extenders or new routers.
App frequently requires reinstallation or app disabling to function correctly due to bugs in updates.
Temperature alarms and notifications frequently do not work or are delayed on Android devices.
The app crashes or freezes on startup or during use, causing frustration.
Updating Wi-Fi settings is not user-friendly and often requires removing and re-adding the grill.
Discrepancies between displayed grill temperature and app temperature readings are reported.

2024-10-25	Al*****	Grill used to stay connected to my wifi, now it does not stay connected. For a while I would just remove and re-add my grill to fix it but now not even that is working. Very frustrating user interface for wifi that does not allow you to change settings once it is set up forcing you to remove and re-add the grill any time you need to make a change.

2024-06-26	Ja*****	The app works for the most part but it definitely needs some improvements. It takes me to the login screen every time I open the app even if I just logged in. There is no indication that the temperature data is refreshing so it can look wrong for a while. Temperature alarms don't work. I expected to get a notification, but nothing happened.

2024-06-26	Jo*****	took a while for me to get the grill connected and STAY connected. I had to add a wifi extender and put it pretty much right next to the grill in order for it to work. Even though my phone has full wifi signal where the grill is. I also had to remove all the spaces from the wifi name. Once that was done I noticed that none of the temp alarms work in the app. Came here to find a few other reviews mentioning that. Hopefully they fix it soon, it was one of the main reasons I bought the grill.

2024-06-08	Ja*****	The fact that the temp probes don't alert in the app on Android makes the app close to unusable/useless. It works to adjust temp and monitor if you check the app manually, but what's the point if you can't get alerts. I messaged Grilla and the said the android problem would get fixed on the next release.......but that was 4 months ago. Seems like a simple thing.

2024-05-10	Mr*****	Works great! I followed the directions and went through each step. Mine automatically logs me in when I turn it on, unlike other negative reviews. The temperatures within a degree of my trusty external thermometer I used to test it against. The options on the app greyed out for a minute or two, but I think it's the distance from my router, and it connected back automatically. No problems here. the app works great as well as the Grilla Grill!

2024-04-29	Do*****	Works fine for me. It always connects quickly and works as advertised. I can monitor temperature and update settings with no problem. I do notice some lag between what is displayed on my OG Grilla built-in display and the app, but never anything that would effect the cook. I have the original Google Mesh network at home. I can monitor progress from work 10 miles away on a very dissimilar network. I do advise people to avoid WiFi extenders. I'm a former I.T. pro and they have always frustrated.

2024-03-31	Da*****	Update about 2 revisions ago made this app near useless. Luckily I have a second phone that I disabled updates to this app and it works great still. Current versions are delayed waiting to connect to WiFi and temp and probe temperature adjustments usually never work using the arrow buttons. I would recommend Grilla Grilla roll back several versions until they can fix these issues.

2024-02-05	Wi*****	App was working, but now I can't log in (why I need an account and password to run my grill is beyond me), and app continues to crash and is unusable. Coupled with intermittent connectivity issues while it was working, this app can certainly make an otherwise solid grill a frustrating experience. Edit, they've since fixed the password reset issue. This app worked pretty solid with the grill for about one time following getting it back up and running. Now it works, just really badly.

2024-01-06	Jo*****	STAY AWAY FROM THIS!!! App is absolutely useless, specially after update, temps are terribly wrong by 60 degrees, so I'm back to looking at the smoker every now and then to see if the temps are holding, here I was thinking that with the wifi connected smoker you don't have to do that as much anymore, I was dead wrong.

2023-12-26	Ri*****	Recent update not only kicked me out of my login, now only able to turn off the grill remotely. I had to manually turn the grill on, the app reads my grill as off as the temp ticks up. This is completely busted. What's the point of this grills features if the app that drives them is broken. Edit - Uninstaller and reinstalled corrected the issue. Raised to a 3, since the app is buggy.
