User Reviews

Multiple reviews report persistent setup and connectivity failures (login, QR/registration, Wi‑Fi/Bluetooth pairing), frequent disconnections and crashes, and nonfunctional notifications. A smaller number note the app does work after updates or network workarounds, and when functional it provides useful remote temperature monitoring. Overall reliability and account/notification features are the main user complaints.

Pros

When the app functions, it provides remote temperature monitoring and basic control of the grill/smoker.
Several users report the app initially connects or works after an update or workaround (router/WPA2 guest network).
App can discover the device during initial setup for some phones, allowing setup to proceed (in some cases).

Cons

Widespread connection and setup failures — app frequently won’t connect to the grill, loses connection, or repeatedly asks to reconnect.
Account/login/registration problems — creating an account, password recovery, and in‑app registration often hang or spin indefinitely.
Wi‑Fi and pairing issues — QR code scan, Wi‑Fi password entry, and Bluetooth/Wi‑Fi pairing commonly fail or get stuck.
Notifications and alerts don’t work — push notifications are blocked or unavailable and cannot be enabled in many cases.
Stability problems — app crashes, force closes, or loses state when screen rotates or the phone locks.

Recent reviews

When I go to my profile in the app, and try to go back to the cooking page, I have to click turn on smoker again and reset my probe target temp. Also, nowhere to access settings. Cannot turn on notifications and this app will not show up in the list of apps in Androids App notification settings page. Even "App info" page on android, notifications are blocked and switch to turn them on is greyed out. Bluetooth pairing code appearing on probe temp readout is nowhere to be found in manual or websit
