## Review summary

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.
