User Reviews

Bartlett KilnAid offers real-time kiln monitoring and occasional notifications, which helps you see what your kiln is doing remotely. However, the app is plagued by bugs, lacks firing history and remote control capabilities, and has a tedious, inconsistent UI. Reviewers also report confusing updates and misaligned release notes. Overall, it functions for simple monitoring but is not a reliable, feature-complete tool for kiln management.

Pros

Real-time monitoring of kiln status and temperatures.
Useful to know what the kiln is currently doing when away from the room.
Provides live updates and basic notifications about kiln activity.
Generally tidy and straightforward for basic monitoring.

Cons

Bugs and instability (crashes, stalls, blank screens, crashes on login or when adding kilns).
No automatic logging or history of firings; manual data entry required and limited analytics.
Cannot start/stop the kiln or edit/create firing schedules from the app.
Poor UI/UX with layout and navigation issues; graphs show inaccurate data/time zones and inconsistent indicators.
Updates can introduce new problems without clear release notes; inconsistent behavior across devices.

No point in downloading, I cannot even get it to scroll all the way to the bottom to accept terms! Cant even use the app.

Changes are made that are never mentioned in the release notes. Example: The update made 2 days ago mentions changes made to one screen, but UI and functional changes were made elsewhere and never mentioned. As a long time software engineer, I know that this is unacceptable and shows a disregard for the end user. Unfortunately because Bartlett isn’t a software company, this is likely an outsourced app, and the poor release notes (not to mention the awkward, cludgy UI) is typical of this type of app. The best thing Bartlett could do here is to open source (at least) their kiln status API. They’d still have their plus model revenue stream, but would likely start seeing much better apps appear across more platforms than they could imagine, provided the API was well written and well documented. Win-win

This is a tidy app that works nicely. I find it useful to know what my kiln is currently doing when I'm out of the room. Suggestions: I'd like to see an estimated or actual time shown for when the current firing program will finish. Something like, "firing will complete at 11:43am." I'd also love the option to be able to create and edit custom programs for the kiln in the app itself.
