## Review summary

Reviews repeatedly cite connectivity and login failures, crashes, and a lack of updates as the main issues with the Masterbuilt Classic Android app. Users often can't reliably connect to the smoker, must sign in to use Bluetooth, and encounter persistent bugs. Support is viewed as inadequate, and some report Safe Mode interference and device/UI inconsistencies. Overall, the app is described as unreliable and difficult to use.

### Cons

- Unreliable connectivity: frequent failures to connect to the smoker via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, with dropouts and occasional 'safe mode' issues.
- Sign‑in/login problems: many users cannot sign in, are forced to sign in to use Bluetooth, or have accounts/password issues (including reports of account deletion).
- Frequent crashes and bugs: the app crashes often or shows 'the app has a bug' messages, sometimes after updates.
- Lack of updates and weak support: outdated software, poor maintenance for older units, and unsatisfactory customer support responses.
- Safe Mode and device/UI quirks: Safe Mode behavior complicates use, and there are reports of device recognition mismatches and inconsistent UI on different devices.
