User Reviews

Users broadly praise the Current Backyard app for being easy to use, offering real-time temperature control with probes, remote monitoring with alerts, helpful recipes, and convenient auto-clean options. However, several reviews flag reliability issues: the app-grill connection is inconsistent, often requiring re-setup of Bluetooth/WiFi, which undermines the perceived ease of use. Overall, the app is feature-rich and user-friendly but suffers from connectivity reliability concerns that some users cite as a barrier to consistent use.
Pros
  • Easy to use / intuitive interface
  • Real-time temperature control and monitoring with probes
  • Remote monitoring and control with alerts and timers
  • Recipes and cooking guidance integrated into the app
  • Auto-clean feature available via the app
Cons
  • Inconsistent connectivity between the app and grill, with frequent drops (about 50% connection)
  • Requires re-entering Bluetooth and WiFi setup on every use
  • Some users report the app not working reliably and sporadic support communications

I admit I never tried the app. It could offer outstanding features. But I took the time to read the privacy policy and data collection information, sharing information to others, and it’s just not acceptable. There is no reason what so ever my name, personal info, birthdate, when I am using the grill, how I’m using it, the temperatures I’m using, if I’m using food probes, etc. should be collected. I was thoroughly disappointed with just how much data is being collected and shared. I should be able to opt out of all data collection and not have the app constantly spying on me. What a major let down. So for now I’ll use the grill as a standalone grill.

It was with high hopes that I have this grill, but the ap isn’t working and CBY has not been able to solve the problem. Their communications when you have a problem is sporadic and they do not keep you informed of status. This is so disappointing.

The app only connects to the grill ~ 50% of the time. And yes: 1. The phone is on the same WiFi as the grill 2. Bluetooth is turned on 3. The grill is connected to my WiFi (eero app shows me the connection) 4. No long distance or other obstructions. Until the app works with any amount of consistency, I'll consider it garbage. How in 2024 does an app not work seamlessly? SMH
