Review summary

Users find the Digital BBQ app useful for monitoring temperatures with decent Bluetooth range and easy setup. However, frequent app crashes, limited alarm customization, and required location permissions are major drawbacks. Several users experience connectivity problems with newer Android phones. Despite these issues, the app is considered good value for basic BBQ thermometer functions, though improvements in stability and alarm features are needed.

Pros

Easy to set up and pair with thermometer device.
Works well for basic temperature monitoring needs.
Bluetooth range is adequate for most users' needs.
Allows customization of temperature probes and temperature ranges.
Good value for the price and meets essential requirements for a digital BBQ thermometer.

Cons

App crashes frequently, especially when setting or receiving alarms.
Alarms are not customizable; users cannot change alarm tones or volume.
Requires location permission to connect via Bluetooth, which some users find unnecessary or concerning.
App lacks advanced alarm management features, such as snooze or customizable alarm behavior.
Connectivity issues reported on newer Android devices, including crashes or inability to pair.

2023-03-29	Ry*****	Very good product. My only complaint is the Bluetooth doesn't reach as far as it says. Everything else I really like about it!

2022-04-16	Br*****	Update: Well, no more 'fire alarm' notification. As a matter of fact, no alarms at all anymore. App crashes every time I try and set audible alarm, so vibrate only to notify. Very disappointing to move backwards. Original review : Decent, useful, but why can't I change/modify alarm tones and /or style?? My wife does not like the fire alarm scare in the middle of the night when I am managing a 12 hour smoke!

2021-11-21	Da*****	Seems will not work with new Android update? I don't know. That's what somebody else mentioned. All I know is I went to use it and the app was missing from my phone. Error message received over and over when trying to reinstall from Google Play store. Might as well throw this in the garbage now. What a joke.

2021-10-18	Ja*****	It works fine on the pixel 2, however you have to initially allow access to location no idea why, however you can remove access once you've paired and it will continue to work. Bluetooth range is fine for my needs. Will update information if I find any issues.

2021-06-25	Pa*****	Haven't had a single problem with the app or the thermometer. Does everything I need. No problems with bluetooth myself or the alarms. Only gave 4 stars because I wish you could set timers longer than 240 minutes for long smokes and it'd be cool if there was a widget available.

2021-06-22	jo*****	Horrible. Like many others experience it would not connect. The device is visible to bluetooth but the app won't connect. Tried reset on phone: no dice. Avoid this app and product it is very poor.

2021-06-11	al*****	This software seems be unsupported so I don't think I'll be buying the hardware which seems suitable for my needs. There have been reviews about the main problems with this for a long time now so why hasn't the developer updated it yet? No snooze, can't change the alarm sound (and volume on the hardware?). Is it supported or already abandoned? Worrying!

2021-05-02	A *****	If your phone goes out of Bluetooth range of the thermometer, it emits a very loud piercing alarm that is the same as a smoke alarm sound. You can't turn this off or change it to another tone. The first time I used the app I went into my house to collect a dish and spent 10 minutes looking for the smoke! The second time, I couldn't stand the horrible noise and uninstalled the app.

2021-02-22	Jo*****	APP closes for no reason... the app is up to date and just shuts off for no reason... Garbage APP Update, I've emailed customer service and have yet to get a response...

2021-02-07	ma*****	Fails more often than not. For some reason the time history for a probe temp restarts when the app isn't used for 30 mins. It would be useful to manually set one of the probs as an ambient temp too.
