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.

A few more tweaks would be perfect
Great product. I love the wifi ability, especially coming off of the iGrill which was Bluetooth only. I can monitor cooks from inside the house and not worry about signal loss.
A few tweaks to the app/firmware:
-The ability to name probes. It’s kind of nebulous about what probe is what when you have 4 going. It’s difficult to keep track or remember what’s what.
-The ability to name timers. For the same reason as above.
- The ability to import or add your own recipes. And rate them or favorite them. If it’s there, I can’t find it.
Get those added and it’s 5 stars for sure.

Constantly changing app interface
I’ve had my Weber connect hub for years now. I love the results.
My problem is the app GUI constantly changes. I wish Weber would understand less if more. Stop changing the GUI. Stick to one.

It works but some flaws
I’m tracking a slow cook, not a recipe in the app, and I’ve been using other apps. It restarted, and I lost the cooking graph.
Thanks for the new updates, changing to 5star
Thank you for the temp tracking
Could be better
The app would make the hardware a lot more useful if the temperature alerts actually triggered a persistent alarm until dismissed (like your alarm clock). I often grill overnight and I want the app to wake me up my fire goes out, flares up, or brisket hits a certain temperature. Should be an easy update to the software and suddenly its 100x more useful.

Trending in the wrong direction
The app started out pretty strong, but more recently I’ve seen lots of problems. 1) Connecting to the grill at all feels hit-or-miss. Half the time it works, the other half it doesn’t. There’s no clear rhyme or reason. 2) Even when it’s connected, the app doesn’t always give you the most current information on temperature or timers. Not sure how or why this happened but now you need to tap around to force the info to update. 3) The notifications and alerts went from being useful and descriptive to being something generic like “Weber App needs attention”. This is just terrible for the overall experience. Instead of being informed that the grill is at temperature or that the timer has been completed, there’s a moment of anxiety where the full range of potential problems is on the table because of this poor messaging. This app was good at one point. It can get back there, but it needs some love from Weber’s design and dev team.
Update:
Revised down to 2 stars. This most recent mid 2023 update is really bad. The app isn’t as clear or as useful as it was before and feels like it’s lost a lot of personality along the way. Please consider rolling back this most recent update. The previous version was a better foundation from which to iterate vs this one.

Missing Info
I like the new redesign, but I feel like a lot of information is missing now when going though recepies. Specifically when trying to preview the steps it does no longer say how long will it take between flipping. I know I am meant to rely on the sensor but still, would be nice to have average or estimate time between steps/flips,
