App freezes
I just bought the Weber genius 3 kit . I installed the app and it worked great I can get up to four probes two for the turkey one for the smoker ambient, awesome love it. then as the turkey got closer to getting done it has a little pop up that says your getting close to final temperature, the only problem is it pops up both notifications for both probes at the same time but doesn’t pop up far enough to dismiss then totally freezes the app and every time I close it and reopen it. The app does the same thing and freezes rendering it totally useless at the most crutial time of the cooking process please helpShow lesswaderaid5000
Great App... Feature Request!!
First, let me say that this is a great app. I have 2 temp sensors and plan to get a 3rd. From what I can tell, the probes are very accurate, within 1 degree of others I’ve tested with. The range is decent, but I prefer to use a spare phone and leave it near my grill. This is a must have for anyone grilling. Makes it easy to be perfect every time.
My feature request is to provide an app or features for using iGrill for home brewing. I’ve been using it to monitor my saccharification, mash out, boil, hop stand/whirlpool, and chilling. I love how the grilling app records and graphs temps based on food and temp. For brewing, it would be awesome if the app would track 5-6 custom temperature milestones over several hours.
Your iGrill device is already great for brewing, but an app to support brewers would allow you to sell a whole lot more of these devices.
Thanks! Hope this reaches someone in product marketing.Show lessNjoyzrd

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us!Cooks great
Cooks great! The propane gas really gets the charcoal glowing in just 5 to 10 minutes, the charcoal storage bin and attached cook top are a real pluses.
I also use the Weber app and Bluetooth meat thermometer to time my cooking, Weber’s suggested temperatures are right on the mark.
The only issue I have is my push bottom starter does not work so I use a gas lighter from the grocery store to start the fire.
I have recommended the Weber Performerto my friends.Show lessWeekend Grillmaster
Good app, but room for improvement
Love the app, but why not let me apply the same temp settings to multiple probes at once? When cooking for my family, I’m often cooking multiple of the same meat at once and it’s always an annoyance that I have to set up all 4 probes individually even though I want to use the same settings for all of them. Why can’t I just select the meat being cooked and apply those settings to multiple probes at once?
Overall it’s a good product and app, but fixing this little annoyance will take it from good to great!Show lessMjnygs
Ruined by Developers...
I wish there was a zero stars option. I have been using this product for years. Ever since Weber bought the product line and started updating the app, things have gotten progressively worse. This is coming from a HUGE Weber fan. I have 3 Weber grills which I dearly love, but these jokers should stay out of the app developing business. All of the complaints in the review section are absolutely valid. No more custom presets, clunky gimmicky UI, non-intuitive navigation...it's all there - every disappointing bit of it. This is an easy fix, we will see if they are too proud to admit they screwed the pooch and just release the old version. Until then, I'm shelving this now useless tool in favor of my old wired probe thermometer.
Update: I still hate this app. It’s the worst thing Weber has ever produced. If you guys would simplify this app instead of making it “cutesy” you would win back your actual customer base. I guarantee that NONE of your developers use this. That’s because they are too busy staring at screens thinking up useless features. THEY DON’T COOK! The people who use this are actual cooks! I fear this review will fall on deaf ears and will garner another “thanks for feedback and being a Weber fan” reply. When you are ready for some suggestions let me know. I stopped using this stupid thing loooong ago.Show lessTnlandsailor

Thanks so much for your feedback and more importantly for being a Weber fan! We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts about the iGrill app with us. We are currently looking into an issue with missing presets and appreciate your patience. If you have any other feedback in the meantime, please do not hesitate to send it to us. Many of our app updates are a direct result of consumer feedback, so we'd be happy to hear it. Thank you again!Overall great, but needs a timer/alarm
The app and the device work well and I've had few issues with it if at all. I've figured out after some trial and error the way to get the best results with our beef filets. Firstly, it seems the doneness settings are a bit over zealous for this cut of meat. I have to consistently choose a doneness one step below desired. That works pretty well.
The one thing I wish it had was the ability to set alarms based on specific temperatures. For instance, at about halfway through, I want to turn the steak, but all I can do is just monitor the temp on my own. I'd like to have the ability to set a custom alarm to tell me when in case I get distracted with other parts of my cook.Show lessIvan0310

Thanks so much for your feedback, Ivan!New update made things worse
Careful what you update to!!! One day I can perfectly check temperature (so I thought) and the next I’m forced to update. Now I have 4 shoulders on the smoker and one is reading 160 while fresh on and the other spiked at 465 just as fresh. Both should be about 65 after sitting out all night.... now I can’t event trust the ambient probe. Going to have to run to Target to get some good ol analog probes for today. I can’t believe the troubles Weber is creating with this app. I can’t trust any of these probes or thermometer anymore after today. Time to find a new digital thermometer. Fed up with all of these bugs.Show less807OGGWEST
Graph view could be improved
Overall it’s nice. I do have some suggestions on the graph view of grill temperature. Because the current (latest) temp is all the way over on the edge of the screen, it’s hard to tell the temp if it is rising quickly. Could you move the current temp in a little from the edge of the screen? Also, a horizontal line from the current point over to the y axis of the graph would help. Average grill temp over the total grill time would also be nice ( smoking ribs).
Thanks!Show lessA grownup
Disconnects frequently from IPhone
This is great when it works, but it disconnects from my phone at the most inopportune times. I got it so I wouldn’t have to keep getting up in the middle of the night to check the temperature of my grill/meat when doing a low and slo overnight cook and it has failed me every time. The only way to get it to re-connect is to get out of bed, go outside and turn the device off and back on.Show lessNovakClan
Great Tool
This Bluetooth thermometer has stepped my grilling game up. I always thought of myself as a good griller, but since I added this little tool to my grilling everything I have cooked has turned out perfect. Brisket, Ribeye steaks, whole chicken and chicken thighs.
The great thing I like about this thermometer is you can cook each piece of meat on grill to everyone’s preference without having to guess. Especially when cooking steaks for several different people.Show lessPeebhvac
