This version is a disappointment

Graphs are terrible. Why does it start at 0 degrees? The useful area where the probe temperatures live is 10% of the area, and the grid lines are 30 degrees apart. There is no direct readout of the temperature as there was on the old app, so the user has to guess. Now the current version crashes in latest iOS as soon as you try to scroll the time axis. Terrible design, and a real downgrade from the utility of the old app. Did you get any valid user input before inflicting us with this?

I prefer and am still using the old app

Even though the old app crashed from time to time too, the new app’s layout and user experience is far worse. I’m trying to like it and am using it side by side with the old one and must say this one begs for a complete overhaul. It crashes often and is highly confusing to use.

Great Functioning App

This app functions great. Ever since the update it connects even better, can make adjustments on the fly, and does everything I want it to do. One suggestion for developers would be an addition of live notifications for temperature probes. Would be great to see your temp probes from anywhere on your phone and lock screen.

App Suddenly stopped working

App will not connect to grill. Says I need to enable Bluetooth but it’s already enabled.

Need to invest money in this feature

I’ve owned my pellet grill for about three years now in the app/Wi-Fi is the worst feature. Basically useless.

Worst app ever. Don’t work at all.

The old app worked great. This new one no longer works at all. Can’t even connect to grill anymore. I’ll have to go back to my thermopro

Fix the app

This app needs work. It doesn’t stay connected it tells me I need to update every time I open and I have to relog in each use. Annoying.

Once great

This once great company has been gutted, its product line decimated, and it is a poor shell of what it once was. I hope it can be brought back, but the tea leaves aren’t promising.

Can’t connect to WiFi

I had no issues connecting to WiFi before but since I got the new updated app only Bluetooth defeats the purpose of having a WiFi smoker big disappointment worked great before

lousy app

my router and grill are within 60 feet of each other and the app can’t find or make the connection. my phone shows a strong wifi signal.

Grill update

Grill app working just amazing :) I love cooking on my grill a lot

Worthless

With the old app essentially bricked, I download this new app. When opening it, I was only given two options to login / sign up; sign using Apple or sign in using Google. It would no longer allow signing in with my email address which is problematic, as it’s none of these companies business how, when and where I use MY grill. Because of this, the grill will be moving on to a new home. I suggest you do the same.

So far so good

I read the reviews and they seem somewhat negative so I thought I would post mine. My woodwind pro connected fine to the Wi-Fi. Able to control the temperature and the smoke level on my phone. So far, I have no complaints about the app so I’m giving it five stars.

Worse than before

I had high hopes for this new app, but after using it many times I’m saddened to report it’s worse than before. I receive late notifications and duplicate notifications and out of order notifications that provide no benefit over standing beside the grill. In addition, the graphing display is more difficult to read and understand than the Prior app.

Partial Interactivity

The app won’t let me control the smoke level at 350° or above.
It also will not let me set my probe temperatures or names.
Frequently it has to reconnect and I noticed that the temperature gauge for the smoker temp now jumps up and down and arrange a 15 to 20° sporadically for no apparent reason.

Timers

This app is terrible, can’t get to the timers easily it crashes just have to go old school hopefully they will do some work on it

Great improvement for me!

I like this updated app much better! It seems much more solid with its connection and I really like the new interface design!
Don’t know if there was also a firmware update with it, but it all works much more smoothly and consistently than before!
Well done!

Horrible

App updated grill firmware and no longer can select smoke level, can’t select it from the app either. Old app bricked and unusable.

Pire app et bbq ever

Depuis mon achat de ce bbq service a la clientèle mediocre produit non fiable avec les sensors , meme apres avoir changer le board digital et les sonde . Avec la nouvelle app impossible de ce connecter meme si tu es coller sur le bbq ou le wifi . Honnêtement payer p’us cher pour un autre marque .

Not Functional

I still cannot figure out how to actually set up a cook in the app. I can’t click anything from the recipes when directed there and the graph will not show up even after I have been cooking for hours. All of the support videos and text are for the old version and I cannot figure this app out.
