Great grill app
I don’t normally write reviews. This is a great improvement. This has now added functions to be able to monitor two probes. ( my grill has two and I’ve been waiting for this ) thanks! This app is great and it works really well. The app was a huge part in me picking this grill over the Traeger. Pairing in easy and the built in recipes are awesome. As a guy who has been in many bbq competitions this is now my preferred grill and I have a few. Love the app and the support ( I called for a few questions ) just good to know when buying this grill.

Please fix temperature alerts in server mode
Overall I’ve been satisfied with the app and the ability to control the grill from my phone. This is a great feature and my reason for purchasing. With that said, in server mode when the set temperature is met, you keep getting alerts after you acknowledge and dismiss the alert. It’s quite annoying to keep dismissing the alerts. Other than that, I haven’t had any trouble with the grill and connecting to it via the app. After this fix, 5 stars all day long!

New Grills, Dated App
If that feels like it came from an old version of iOS. It lacks a lot of features you would expect in a modern day app. You should be able to search the recipes instead of having to visit each page. You should be allowed to swipe to go back. There should be a history of the meat temperatures when cooking. The app refreshes every time you open it which creates lag and it fails to deliver reliable information if the app is not open. You should be able to add multiple timers and stopwatches and give them names for different meats or other items that you’re grilling. You should be able to put the grill into Wi-Fi mode when it is on. The timer in a profile should be adjustable in case you forget to start it and want to run the profile for the remaining grill time. There are probably some other features that this app needs but that would be a good start.

What I’d like to see
I’ve had such a pleasurable experience with my Daniel Boone after the smoke box got replaced, which I must commend customer service for helping troubleshoot and that was a year ago. So we have purchased a 2nd Daniel Boone to house the pizza oven and they have both work perfectly. My only thing I’d like to see is the ability to edit the names of the grills. I’m not sure if the app crew realizes that when smoking for long periods of time there might be alcohol involved and later in the day it be safer to know for sure which grill your controlling. Just saying.

Needs improvement
Love the functionality of the grill but the app needs adjusting. I had a low pellet alarm but my phone never alerted me to the alarm. Also when it reaches the temp of either the grill or meat it pops up a notification on my phone but doesn’t make noise or anything to get my attention. The pop up flashes and then goes blank, you need to be staring at the phone to see the notifications. Also, I set a timer and had the same results. I have an iPhone 8. Maybe it works with other phone better?

Works well unless you want something out of the ordinary
I like the app design and functions. My complaint is, if I forget that I can’t change the temp in the middle of running a profile, it clears out the profile that I was running. And after that happens, I can’t continue the profile where I left off, so I have to edit the profile to fit my immediate needs, then remember to change it back after I’m done. I suggest a change where I can touch a step, and the screen expands to show the full “notes” and I am also given the option to “begin profile from this step” or something like that. Or maybe a “temporary profile edit” that doesn’t save in the profile itself.

Great... but
Overall, I am pleased as lunch with the connectivity. Once we figured out the bugs and the best way to connect, we rarely have problems. However, I am BEGGING YOU to make the notifications into alerts. For instance, if I am doing an overnight cook and I am low on pellets, a notification isn’t going to be seen until I physically look at the phone, rendering the notifications useless in some instances.

Beta level app - incomplete and buggy
I completely agree with the reviewer who said that you get kicked out of server mode for no reason, and there is no background refresh. Further, there is no way to sign in to the app, and therefore no way for the app to remember your custom profiles if you ever lose your phone or change phones. Also needs a much more extensive availability of supplemental profiles. For example, they should at least have profiles that match their recipes. This app has potential, but needs serious attention. One star is based on incredible frustration, knowing the potential.

Great app but temp history would be a great addition
This app works great with my Daniel Boone, however a great addition would be to add a history to food temp. A graph that shows the cook progression would be quite helpful.
Decent, but would like to see more.
App gets the job done for the most part, but I don’t feel that it’s reached it’s potential.
Wish list:
-iPhone X compatibility
-Low pellet push notifications!
-integrated recipes w/ ability to store your own recipes. Ability to attach pictures would be a plus.
-would like to skip steps, or restart steps when using a profile.
-currently we have the ability to store instructions within the profile, but the GUI is antiquated.. biggest problem I have is the short text box.. perhaps consider a pop-up, or modal.
-last, but definitely not least.. we should have the ability to pause our profiles.. example.. if I want to do some 3-2-1 ribs... I’d like to pause after step 1.
With that said thanks for the app.. loving my Daniel Boone.. looking forward to future updates.
