Hit or Miss
The App connected for my first two brisket cooks, but the phone was unable to read a temperature on my third try. Not too dependable.
Please add servers
I noticed that the thermometer connects fine in the morning when no one is using it but poorly or not at all at night on the weekend when everyone is grilling. Could it be that selling through Walmart is overwhelming the servers?
Stay connected
I am having issues that I have to go through the whole pairing set up every time I open the app to use product. But now it says I am connected but doesn’t match what shows on the the actual thermometer or acts like it doesn’t connect. Also as soon as I open the prograde app it disconnects me from my home WiFi

App doesn’t work
The app is unreliable but the thermometer works fine. I get rare updates on the current temperature on the app. About 3 for a few seconds each in about a hour. So I had to keep going to my grill to look at the thermometer to see the temperature. Don’t buy this.
Easy to use
Like a previous reviewer, I think this is very easy, and connected up/working in minutes. Perhaps the confusion is that it first runs a tutorial then gives instructions as you’re setting up as well... that look kinda like the tutorial as well. So, it’s a bit difficult to know if you’re in the app or a tutorial. Just don’t be confused, follow screen by screen instructions and it’s actually very easy— telling you every step to take, with great pics as you go. I like it a lot.

Works perfect and is very accurate
I don’t get all the negative reviews. It took me 1 minute to set up and connect to my app. All the presets are what the recommended temp is for that doneness. If you want to change the presets you can just click the plus and minus buttons to adjust the saved presets. I was able to monitor my internal temp of my brisket every step of the way with sound notifications. Love it.

Work in progress
Presets are all wrong and cannot be adjusted. Had to create new ones for need and pork. The default settings are for rare are well on every recommended temp.
Flaky as - well, REALLY FLAKY
Wish me luck on my 14 lb brisket. This really flaky app crashed on me for the FOURTH TIME tonight. The instructions are fraught with ambiguous steps that don’t jive with the online instructions - but, ultimately, when it crashes in the middle of a session, I have to resort to old school techniques.
NOT WORTH THE $35 AT WAL*MART. I will DEFINITELY return the thermometer and oust this app from my phone, ASAFP.
Instructions said to email them. Still awaiting a response. Forget these folks...

Awesome!
Worked perfect! Video on you tube was helpful!
Can’t get it to work on iOS ...
I go through directions and complete the setup up with success but the therm doesn’t show the Wi-Fi is connected and the app is useless
