Update issues

Prove worked great before updates. Now it never connects back to my phone

Chef iq mini oven

The phone app does not work for my wife who’s visually impaired this is a gibbet. How can you make the probe work, but the mini oven does not work when Accessibility mode is on. I purchased this for my wife so she can be independent when cooking she enjoy cooking before she lost her vision please please please please 100! Update the app so my wife would be able to use it without any problems

Won’t work!

Can’t charge my unit. Light won’t come on.

Could be amazing

Regularly forgets WiFi and Bluetooth. Have to delete and re-add. Otherwise great product.

It’s not been good

I’ve had these for about three years and have kept trying to remain optimistic about them, but they’ve been pretty frustrating.

They always seem to be dead when I actually want to use them, and then when I put them back to charge, they often won’t shut off properly.

The biggest issue, though, is temperature accuracy. Compared side-by-side with a traditional wired probe, these are consistently and considerably off on temperature, which makes them hard to trust when cooking.

I’m glad to see they’ve updated the newer version. Hopefully they’ve addressed some of these issues, because the concept is great—the execution just hasn’t been reliable for me.
