### 5/5 — Awesome

*2026-08-25*

Works great!  Great connection.  Love the seven sensor zones on each probe.  Good price.   Can’t say enough about these temp probes

### 5/5 — Latest update

*2026-08-25*

The latest update is great. Much more options and love the style and view on the iPhone.

### 1/5 — Registration

*2026-03-10*

I’m not sure how long it should take to get a registration email so I can login, or even why I need verification for a cooking thermometer, but since I just got it I can easily return it.

### 1/5 — It is not reliable or accurate

*2026-03-08*

My favorite probe does not do multiple deferent temps for one probe. Hard to make sure the meat temp is where you want. It also disconnects from the app when wrapped with tin foil a lot.

### 1/5 — Useless garbage

*2026-01-14, version 3.0.9*

Bad Chinese product

### 1/5 — Terrible Tech

*2025-11-27*

Worst connection experience. It’s 2025. WiFi should be seamless. Also, instructions are terrible. It says, “Remove probe from booster, keep probe connected.” Which is it?  Took me 30 mins to figure out it meant to lay probe next to booster. 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

### 1/5 — Aggravation🤬👎 going back to Meater.

*2025-11-27*

Got the two set black and white combo and multi tasking for this thing is terrible! Temps are consistently inconsistent and many times I found that I had to close the app out completely and reopen the app to switch back from one thermometer to the other.  That and when one was done the system didn’t recognize the cook was done until I cleaned the probe and put it back in its charging block. After that the device switched readings to the black probe being the one in the oven when the white was the one still in the oven🥵Going back to Meater.  Looks nice… but it’s trash.  Maybe you will have better luck with a single probe.  The multi probe packs?  nope!

### 1/5 — Terrible Save your money no support and product does not work at all!

*2025-07-27*

Terrible product

### 2/5 — Doesn’t Function Properly

*2025-05-01*

I really wanted this to be what I needed for my cooking but every single time, the app tells me it is completed way too early. I set it to 168•F and it marks done at 142•F. So then I have to set it up all over again

### 1/5 — Great hardware ruined by an awful app and obnoxious customer support

*2025-02-25, version 2.9.6*

This app is just plain awful. The probe disconnects if you walk too far away and will not reconnect until removed from your food and re-docked. It beeps constantly with no way to stop it without disabling all alerts. There are multiple pop-ups and ways to contact support, but they won’t respond for 12 hours, so why use it?

I’d like to see the following:
- Remove the chat feature entirely and stop having support personnel message me out of the blue. 
- Remove the chat popup.
- Remove the chat button! Seriously! How many “Dear fiend” (not my typo) annoyances do I need?
- If chat only responds between 2 AM and 9 AM, say so in the app so I don’t waste my time! “Sorry, friend, it was our sleep time earlier.”
- Translate the app better.
- Make metric units the default. Sorry, America. Get better. 
- Give me more control over notifications. I don’t need to flip every piece of meat every five minutes.
- Make it easier to reconnect the probe after walking too far away.

Now support sent me one message and I got six notifications while I’m laying in bed reviewing this app. My two-star review is now a one-star review. I’m not even joking.

I should have spent more money and gotten a better thermometer, preferably one from a company who didn’t think software was something that could be outsourced to the lowest bidder.
