### 4/5 — Works good

*2026-08-12, version 2.2.8*

It works as it should for me.

### 2/5 — Way to break a good thing.

*2026-05-11, version 2.2.8*

I previously left a glowing review for the app and the thermometer. 
They recently started collecting information from other BT devices on your network to form a profile. 
NOPE. I paid for a device that did not require me to become a profile. Now it does. 
I’ll be using it without the app from now on, and the next time I need new probes, I’ll buy a different brand instead.

### 2/5 — Useful but annoying

*2026-01-02, version 2.2.8*

The alarm system was not well thought out. There is no delay after you clear the alarm it just keeps alarming over and over. I can’t instantly change the heat level of my green egg, it takes time so you have to turn off the unit until you’re within your preset range.

### 4/5 — Could be great

*2025-04-27, version 2.2.8*

The software will show you the current temperature of up to 4 different meats and alert you when it reaches the set temperature. The reason it only gets three stars is the lack of additional features like alert when temperature reaches half of the set temp (when I like to flip the meat) or a temp you choose.

### 2/5 — Graphs dont work well

*2024-09-15, version 2.2.7*

Please for gods sale fix the temp graphs. The scales are not linear, and once the temperature increases past the maximum the scale doesnt adjust and you can no longer see the line

### 2/5 — Please fix battery usage

*2024-07-24, version 2.2.7*

The app needs to fix its battery usage problem. I closed the app long ago and my stats show that it’s the main app consuming battery in the background.

### 4/5 — Overall it’s great

*2024-07-21, version 2.2.4*

Overall the app is great, although the lack of historical data is quite frustrating.

### 2/5 — Great temperature gauge

*2024-07-20, version 2.2.4*

Love the ink bird I have 2 now! It’s just a shame the app keeps freezing when I switch from graph to temperature. If you don’t release you loose track of the temperature and loose your graph.

### 3/5 — Нужен русский язык.

*2024-07-07, version 2.2.4*

Сделайте русский язык пожалуйста.

### 1/5 — App funktioniert nicht

*2024-02-26, version 2.2.4*

Stürzt ständig ab, Verbindung wird alle 2 Minuten unterbrochen, Alarm wird auch nach Trennung vom Thermometer weiterhin ausgelöst, App völlig unbrauchbar

### 1/5 — Device stopped working

*2024-02-23, version 2.2.4*

After using device a couple years it has stopped working.  Web site offers no guidance on trouble shooting.  Within 6 months of using the device 3 of the 6 probes stopped working.

### 1/5 — App has stopped connecting to sensor

*2024-01-09, version 2.2.4*

The app was rudimentary at best, but has now stopped connecting with the sensor and is useless.

### 4/5 — Revise translation

*2024-01-06, version 2.2.4*

App looks wonderful, but please, PLEASE, consider to revise translation with an actual human translator. The one for Spanish is quite deficient, in my case I can deduce by context and association the meanings because I know most of the cooking terms in original english but the translation to Spanish makes no sense for an Spanish speaker. For example (but not only): for RARE meat it is translating a different term that actually means STRANGE  in Spanish. It is a correct translation for a completely different meaning and context. As in english. 
Who wants to cook weird meat?
:)

Thanks!

### 4/5 — Love the app

*2023-12-28, version 2.2.4*

Been using this app for over 3 years and love it. Awesome little app, deletes and adds various probes with ease. 

There is one or two little things to fix and make better. 
1. The graph resets everytime you lock your phone. 

2. The names use to show up on the temp page (ie: brisket. Ribs. Heat probe …..) now it just shows that little clover symbol and you don’t see what probe is what. Please change this back or tell me how to fix it.

### 1/5 — Muy basica y le falta mucho

*2023-12-25, version 2.2.4*

La hora no esta bien. La escala no te permite ver la hora en la que fue cada temperatura. Deberia de tener una mejor escala, cuadricula, zoom y poder seleccionar varios puntos asi como guardar un historial con notas finales. Ya un plus seria poder poner notas en puntos de interes.

### 2/5 — Leider nach so langer Zeit immer noch nicht ausgereift

*2023-12-21, version 2.2.4*

- Bei Verlust der Verbindung werden die Temperaturverläufe gelöscht und der Graph neu gestartet
- automatische Skalierung und Verschiebung des Graphen gegeben, somit wird die Auflösung mit der Menge der gemessenen Messpunkte niedriger
- Der Temperaturbereich des Graphen geht bei meiner Version (2.2.4) nur bis 133 Grad. Für Erfassung und Verläufe des Grillrosttemperatur nicht empfehlenswert

### 1/5 — Нет русского языка

*2023-12-15, version 2.2.4*

Добавьте русский язык.

### 2/5 — Useful but frustrating

*2023-10-08, version 2.2.4*

Working well until you send a target temperature or you lose connection. The graphs reset to zero each time one of the above happens. 
Look at the Meater App and you’ll know what a good useful app is.

### 1/5 — Fix the broken trend chart!!!

*2026-05-24, version 2.2.8*

It once worked but now the trend chart doesn’t scale. Meaning you can’t track temps.

### 1/5 — Не работает

*2025-05-02, version 2.2.8*

Не подключается по блютуз , просто не видит , все настройки проверил , просто не рабочий термометр или приложение

### 1/5 — Keine Verbindung via BT

*2025-03-23, version 2.2.8*

Thermometer zeigt eine Gradzahl an. Obwohl in der App alles auf „on“ steht wird keine Verbindung zum IPhone hergestellt! Viele Versuche es bleibt dabei.
Kann das Thermometer nur ohne  App nutzen!!

### 1/5 — No updates for years

*2025-03-09, version 2.2.8*

It wasn’t great when it was released, but now it is just terrible comparing to competitors. No history, graph are terrible, all in all in all it does is just shows temperature.

### 1/5 — Pointless. Inkbird = Planned obsolescence

*2025-01-14, version 2.2.8*

I downloaded this app as it is the designated app for previous version of Inkbird devices. These devices themselves work OK, but proper data management isn't available or fully compatible in the newer Inkbird app, nor are there any instructions or support whatsoever. for "older" Inkbird devices. (i.e. ITH-20R & IBS-M1 — new 2years ago, Ha!)
the "support" page will just send you to shop to buy newer models. Planned obsolescence

### 1/5 — Не коннектится

*2025-01-09, version 2.2.8*

Не коннектится к 11 айфону и нет русского языка. По сути приложение бесполезно теперь.

### 1/5 — Не работает

*2024-11-17, version 2.2.7*

iPhone 16 pro max there is no connection with the program

### 1/5 — Нет русского языка

*2024-07-22, version 2.2.7*

Нет русского языка!

### 1/5 — The app doesn’t connect any more.

*2024-05-30, version 2.2.4*

Apparently they stopped supporting this. 
I wasted my money but won’t make the same mistake with this company again. I learned my lesson.

### 1/5 — Ok, but needs a bit of work.

*2024-05-02, version 2.2.4*

The app has most of the data you need to know but displays it in a clunky way. If the graph, graphics and tracking were improved it would be great.

### 5/5 — Русский!

*2024-05-12, version 2.2.4*

Добавьте Русский язык.

### 5/5 — Me gusta

*2024-04-23, version 2.2.4*

Funciona perfectamente, estaría bien poner tener widget para poder hacer el seguimiento sin tener que entrar a la aplicación o desbloquear el teléfono

### 5/5 — Description lost

*2023-05-25, version 2.2.0*

Still works great but in the last update - lost the description of what I’m cooking. Not a big deal but kind of annoying. Otherwise superb app.

### 5/5 — Parfait !

*2022-02-09, version 2.0.4*

L’application fait très bien le travail même en background … je ne comprends pas les autres avis ! Peut-être qu’ils ont corrigé le problème ? Facile à configurer ! Rien a dire de négatif ! Bon appétit !

### 5/5 — Проблема с подключением

*2021-12-22, version 2.0.4*

Не знаю что случилось, но приложение перестало подключаться к девайсу.

UPD:Обновлю отзыв и изменю оценку. 
Невероятно, но они каким то образом нашли меня и прислали инструкцию. Просто в настройках приложения был выключен BT.

### 5/5 — when will the Russian version be?

*2021-04-23, version 1.7.9*

when will the Russian version be???

### 5/5 — Inkbird Thermometer The Best Ever

*2021-03-28, version 1.7.9*

Won a Inkbird 6 probe in a giveaway on Instagram. Since having this I’m able to cook more meats without doing much guessing or switching from probe to probe. Keep up the great work and figure out now to sync with the apple watch and my life will be completed while I bbq. 😂😂

### 5/5 — Apple Watch functionality

*2021-03-07, version 1.7.9*

Perfect app but you’ll reach the next level with extending it to Apple Watch 💪💪💪

### 5/5 — Great value for the price.

*2021-01-23, version 1.7.9*

I like the ease of the app. Can adjust my alarms. Track my temps. Set up various presets on whatever I’m cooking.

### 5/5 — I don’t understand the bad reviews.

*2020-12-25, version 1.7.9*

I have an old iPhone and no problems with the app. 
It DOES graph temp history. 
It DOES have presets for various meats. 
It DOES stay connected for me. Two walls + 30’. 
It DOES have alarms. 
It DOES reconnect quickly if it does disconnect. But I had to walk across the street to get it to disconnect. 
Best present I’ve gotten since the grill. Akorn.
