Unusable

What happened BBQ Guru? I spent a pretty penny on this app a few years ago and it’s useless now. The app and device lose communication constantly. To add insult to injury, support is non-existent.

UltraQ BBQ Guru update broke the software

Update made the device not Bluetooth connectable and I cannot update WIFI credentials

Pin?

Why would you push an app that half of your hardware doesn’t have a pin for makes zero sense if I could give you zero stars or -10 stars for your app update I would. This is ridiculous.

I have had this app for almost a year and never had a problem with it until recently and it updates and I had to uninstall and reinstall then get charged 25 dollars to install since when for someone that already has account and set up
