Knob lights come on by themselves

Just got the Weber spx435 grill and downloaded this app and the knob lights come on by themselves if I use the light push button or use the app to toggle off the lights they will come on by themselves within 20 seconds even if I disconnect the app from the grill they still come on so I just unplug the usb battery bank please fix and there seems to be no way to shut off the grills temperature display settings by using the app

Good but room for improvement

The Weber Connect app is a useful tool for monitoring your cooking process with Weber smart thermometers. Whilst it has some great features, there is still room for improvement.

One of the highlights of the app is the addition of temperature graphs. Being able to visualise the temperature trends over time is incredibly helpful for monitoring your cooking progress. However, it would be even better if the app allowed users to zoom in on specific intervals for a more detailed analysis. Additionally, the ability to add notes at particular intervals would be a valuable feature, allowing users to make annotations and reminders during the cooking process.

Another area where the app could be enhanced is in the management of probes. Renaming the probes would make it easier to identify and keep track of different cooking tasks. This small but significant improvement would contribute to a smoother and more organised cooking experience.

One feature that is noticeably missing from the app is the option to add and save your own recipes. Having the ability to import and store your favourite recipes would be a convenient addition, allowing users to have all their cooking information in one place. This would streamline the cooking process and make it easier to refer back to recipes for future use.

Unfortunately, the app does not provide estimated cooking times based on current cooking speed and ambient temperature. This is a common feature found in many smart thermometers, and it would be beneficial to have this functionality in the Weber Connect app. Without it, users may have to rely solely on the thermometer's readings, which may not always accurately reflect the actual cooking progress.

Overall, the Weber Connect app is a solid companion for Weber smart thermometers, with its temperature graphs being a standout feature. Whilst there are areas for improvement, such as zooming in on the graphs, adding notes, and the ability to rename probes, the app still offers a convenient way to monitor your cooking. The inclusion of recipe management and estimated cooking times would further enhance its functionality. With continued updates and improvements, the Weber Connect app has the potential to become an even more valuable tool for cooking enthusiasts.

Nothing but problems

Worked fine last year . . . This year the temperature probe and the console had to be replaced .. . Then it worked . . Then it didn’t.
Blue tooth Connection issues. Sometimes I have to reboot my iPad and other times I have to delete then reload the weber app. Needless to say, I’m not happy this year. The good thing is that I know how to
BBQ and don’t need a “smart” BBQ

My pellet smoker

It is the best $3000 I ever spent. This cooker is amazing. Thank you Weber for an awesome pellet smoker.

Overcomplicated app

I think of Weber as a quality product, but the app lacks a primary feature. The app is built for a thermometer, and I would expect to be able to select my meat and cut and set the temperature alert for one or multiple probes in one step. Amazingly, you have to set up each probe separately, and I have to select a recipe to get to the recommended temperature for the chosen meat. How about making the recipes an option and allowing for quickly selecting temperatures and which probes to use for that setting? Recipes should be separate from cooking. Recipes could be used for setting probe temps but should not be the only method.

No Push Notifications

I would be great, as others mentioned, to have the temp and timer notifications alert your phone as other push notifications do. There should be a phone vibration or noise alert. The app notifications are useless if I have to continue to monitor my phone to ensure I don’t miss when the timer goes off.

Beside notifications, the app works well.

Weber Connect

So Glad weber finally hired real app developers. This app is so much better than the original! Can connect multiple grills. 10/10

Major improvements!

The 2.0 update did exactly what it needed to. Charts! It’s about time.

Make the alerts go off like the alarm function on the phone does, I should have to hit a button in the UI to make it stop. It should be able wake me up if there’s a problem with my temp ranges I’ve set or if the meat is ready to wrap when I’m doing an overnight cook.

Confusing

This app is confusing.

I’ve gone through several recipes , using the save icon to try them at a later date. However, the app now lists all these recipes as ‘in progress’ as if they are being ordinates. What sense does this make?

If you follow the direction for preparing a recipe, you cannot simultaneously check the ambient heat without closing the te our. This results in having lost your progress with the recipe. You then need to guess how much more cooking times was left on your grill.

If you wander too far from the grill in your home, the recipe will shut down and you’ll need to start from the beginning.

The app is very poorly designed. And there’s absolutely nothing from Weber that shows step by step how to navigate it.

Very frustrating.

No push notifications and no recipes import

There is no push notifications when it reaches the desired temperature. At a party I didn’t hear the temperature. It would me better if push Notifications where part of the experience could see it and respond.
Also the recipes are okay, but worked be much better to import recipes. Would be nice to add something I searched on internet or from a user. I know manual works but it would be way cool to see other users recipes I can add to my app.
Otherwise it’s enjoyable and a good added experience.
