No landscape mode

For the love of god, please make your app work in landscape mode on the iPad; it’s 2026. Portrait Orientation Lock is turned off - all my other apps rotate fine.

Great for 6 months, the dead! No supporting

I loved it for the first few months then the battery wouldn’t last through a recipe. Now the base is having the same issue. When I asked for help i was told it was out of warranty.

Decent, but not great

I had to reconnect it to the Wi-Fi many times, I was hoping for a more seamless operation.

Used to be good

I bought this wireless thermometer and have gotten good results with it.
However, the mandatory app has gone from a useful tool to an obnoxious ad.
