User Reviews

The Blackstone Connect app is praised when it works: accurate temp readings, solid control, easy setup, and Wi‑Fi monitoring that complements the hardware. However, it is plagued by persistent connectivity problems, unreliable alerts, and stability issues after updates, plus missing features like long-term cook tracking and probe naming. These reliability issues outweigh the positives for many users.

Pros

Accurate temperature readings and solid temperature control that the hardware can hold.
Useful temperature monitoring with alerts when the system is functioning.
Easy setup with straightforward features.
Strong integration with the smoker/griddle combo, which makes cooking easier.
Wi‑Fi remote monitoring simplifies managing cooks.

Cons

Connectivity is spotty and unstable, with frequent Wi‑Fi/Bluetooth disconnects during cooks.
Alerts and notifications are unreliable, with missed triggers or needing app restarts.
App reliability and login/pairing issues, including outages and codes not working.
Missing advanced features like long-term cook data, probe naming, graphs, and audible alarms.
Limited range/requirement to be close (Bluetooth) and sometimes restricted to short distances.

Recent reviews

When I first downloaded this app it was pretty bad, basically useless. I could get an accurate temperature reading but only after rebooting the app. Then it got better, the temperature alerts were very helpful. With the last update it’s gone back to how it first was for me, basically useless. Not receiving alerts on reaching temp for the smoker or the probe, have to force close and reopen it to get it to work. I think I’ll move on to a third party temperature monitoring setup.

Works to set and actively monitor temps. Would be nice if you could set alerts if temp falls below a threshold for long sessions.

This app is constantly disconnecting from the grill and making you have to change from Wi-Fi to a different connection. You cannot trust the temperature that it’s cooking at and honestly, you guys need to update it to make sure it’s more trustworthy.
