My food was finished...YESTERDAY!

So 24 hours after I’ve completed cooking my food (yes...it’s all gone and the dishes are done) my trustee GrillEye Pro app kindly keeps informing me that my food has reached the desired temperature! Oh, and apparently the grill was too hot too. Why do these phantom alerts keep plaguing me well after my food is complete, the temp probes removed, the unit put away, and the app shutdown?

Another issue, my number 5 input was reading as 42F on the device screen but correctly reading on the app.

Another issue, the app would not display the temp history correctly...it kept showing an incorrect single temp or only a very limited segment of a two combined temps - I’m puzzled.

Waste of money

Only reason I got this is WiFi capability. Bluetooth range is not very far. Will not connect to WiFi even after deleting and reinstalling app. And restarting/resetting unit. Constantly beeping at me with message that Grilleeye is disconnected from you’re device.
Don’t waste you’re money

Wonkie

Sent help request to help desk. Got quick response. Was sent directions for reset, rebootetc that looked like launch sequence that NASA would use. Took the time and did all the steps.
Same problems.
Unstable and alarms show on phone days after cooking is done. I have started using the app with notification turned off.
Would not purchase again.

Latest updates have vastly improved app

I am very pleased that the latest app and device updates have vastly improved the wifi connectivity.

Successfully completed 8 hour pork shoulder slow cook yesterday with no wifi dropouts.

Very happy to improve my app ratings.

Graphs still buggy.

Latest update looked like it was working great until you get into around the 3rd hour. Then the graphs won’t load anymore. Just spinning wheel where the graph should be. The last time I used it before this latest update it would quit loading around 45 minutes in. Still can’t download the data either.

Disappointed

I was really excited when I got this especially from Costco. I was looking forward to having a wifi thermometer where I could monitor the temps from anywhere as long as I was connected to WiFi, at least from my garage while my grill is in the back yard. Nope! It keeps dropping WiFi connection like a hot potato so I have to keep my phone within 20 feet of the device so it can use Bluetooth.

The device shows BT and 5 WiFi bars and my phone shows full bars, BUT once the device looses WiFi connection, and it religiously does, it can’t pick up any WiFi signals even though the phone I use the app on has full bars. I finally bought a WiFi extender which is 12 feet away from the device, and the device itself shows 4 bars, but the app still can’t find ANY WiFi signals for me to connect to.

I’ve tried deleting and reinstalling the app several times, but I am always seriously frustrated every time I use it. The only reason it even gets one star is it is the only device I found that reads 8 probes. Otherwise, I can’t wait for something better to come out.

Disappointing

No probes connected in the app since the firmware update. It used to work, just stopped. Not great, will probably buy another product as not really impressed with this thermometer. App gets 1 out of 5 and I’d give the actual unit a 2 out of 5

Garbage app DO NOT BUY THIS GEAR

Update: I uninstalled this garbage app since it kept spamming me with notifications about a probe being under temperature, despite, you know, the unit being turned off with no probes attached.

Update: I also got an email from this company offering a “free” replacement. I didn’t take them up on the offer.

I mean. Look at the other low rated reviews.

The app is at best an example of how not to make an iOS app, what with its janky UI that clearly indicates this is indeed lowest bidder shovelware.

Beyond that, it doesn’t even do its basic tasks at all. Constant disconnects, firmware updates that makes basic functionality stop working. Alarms and notifications that just spam you constantly.

And of course the company in question is nowhere to be seen. They just show up here with copypasta from their equally useless website, essentially punishing you for buying their product.

Spend the money and buy some thermoworks gear or the maverick. If you’ve just bought it, return it.

From the hardware to the app to the company, it’s junk all the way through.

Hello tmtrains, We truly apologise for any inconvenience caused. With cases like yours we have experienced the downside of being a pioneer that paves the way in fields that no one has dared charting before. Nevertheless, we have been working quietly all this time and made sure our latest firmware update offers the true GrillEye experience. So, we would be honoured if you accepted testing it in a new device and share your impressions with the rest of our community. We are absolutely certain that you will be more than compensated. Please reach over to us at support@grillleye.com including your purchase receipt, for typical validation purposes, and we’ll guide you further. Looking forward for your response.

Shows promise, execution fails badly.

February 2020 update: had to uninstall/reinstall the app to backtrack to a Bluetooth connection to attempt a firmware update. And then the update failed - “no connection to server”. Cool, lost all my presets and still no update. Graphs still don’t work. Downgrading to 1-star.

App works well, so does the WiFi. Custom temp set points and editing is good.

Graphs don’t work, and will sometimes crash the app.

Great product and customer service

This company stands behind their product like few companies do these days. Fast response to messages and a great product. Couldn’t be happier with my grilleye.
