Leave a Review Pit Boss Grills
Don’t waist your time.
The smoker itself works great. The non smoker options, eh, not so much. It constantly loses its connection to my WiFi network. When this happens I literally have to use Bluetooth to reconnect to
it to the network. So not doing that away from home. Then when doing so the keyboard overlays the entry line making it a real pain in the brain to type in the password. Now that that is out of the way; the app is junk. I would give a half star if the option existed. Any time that my phone changes service providers. Such as when I leave my home WiFi and switch to a cell network, the app will reset and completely lose all of the acquired analytics. Woke up this morning to 8.5 hours of analytics, took my daughter to school, opened the app on the go, and boom all that data was now property of the ether. Might try and install it on my iPad since I leave it at home. Perhaps that will help curve the junky nature that has been designed into the system. Try again.Show lessblntfngr
Updated for the latest update: The update ruined this app
The most recent update in August ‘24 fixes a few of the bugs mentioned below, however now the app shuts down every time you search for a recipe. That is not the concerning part however. The app will stay connected for most of a cook then randomly disconnect or randomly shuts down. At that point you lose your cooking analytics, which i like to use and keep the info for the next cook.
Two versions ago it worked great. Why do you try to fix what’s not broken?
Before the latest update it worked almost flawlessly. After the update i have to be standing next to the grill and restart the app several times to be able to connect. Even when close, It gives me multiple errors trying to connect. I did find that disabling my 5ghz on my wireless router helped, that was never an issue before! Why do you feel the need to update something that works just fine? Please roll back to the previous version ASAP!!!Show lessPeidei
Garbage App for a Garbage Grill
My wife purchased the Pit Boss KC Combo grill for my birthday 3 years ago. ❤️ It’s the first real grill I’ve owned, or so I thought. Just received the warranty replacement control board for the smoker portion after waiting about 2 months since filing a claim. Okay, I know this is not a review of the grill; it’s for the app. As the title indicates, the app is trash just as much as the grill is. Search for a recipe in the app and tap the ‘go’ button on the iOS keyboard - BAM! App closes (crashes). Back to the grill… New controller card arrives and its wire harness appears to have about 2-4 AWG higher than the failed one! Cutting corners even more! Hopefully I can smoke something nice at least one more time before recycling the materials and investing in a high quality grill. Dansons, the manufacturer of this grill and presumably connected to this app should just give it up already, but there are always unsuspecting individuals who will buy a product at least once. I hope this review prevents at least one of those individuals from making a mistake!Show lessNC Pilot James
