Horrible
The app is horrible. It’s been connected to Wi-Fi for a year, but now it won’t connect at all. The alarms go off incessantly and you can’t turn them off. click the button to clear alarm and nothing happens. It just keeps ringing. Have to close the app and restart it and in many cases the alarm will still go off.
I can’t believe this app got out the door with so many bugs.

App is sooo bad!
New phone won’t let me finish logging it because it can’t get the grill on my WiFi. It’s already on my WiFi from my last phone. Can use the app at all!
With the old phone I had set a target temp alarm. You would think it a great feature, right? Nope! Next time you manually turn on grill and get it to temp AND then try to use the app, the alarm goes off and you can turn it off without closing the app, going to the grill and opening it up to cool down below the target temp before trying the app again. Basic testing could have caught this. Smoker is fine. WiFi and app are junk.

Is this app doomed?
I bought this grill (twin Oakes pellet smoker/gas grill combo) off facebook marketplace. Grill itself works fantastic, but the app is wild. It does it’s basic job, but if you’re listening to music it either stops music when you open the app, or somehow adjusts the volume to max when you access app. It seems outdated and as if it was released and then forgotten about. Lots of mini bugs.

Junk
The app constantly disconnects. Then when you reconnect the alarm goes off and continues to go off until you completely close it out. You have it open and close it 5-6 times before the alarm finally stays off. Then after 10 minutes the app disconnects and you have to go through it all again.
App Needs work.
This app definitely needs some work. Sometimes when my grill comes to temperature, the alarm will come on and just stay on no matter what I do I have to power my phone down before I can get it to stop. and no manageable settings to turn it off. I manage my grill pretty closely so the need to be such a persistent alarm is pretty annoying.

App is Awful - Oakmont Grill is Awesome
The app is so bad trying to use the grill the routine disconnect from your phone is bearable, you do have to reconnect it so that is annoying.
The ringing for when your grill is set to temp is INSANE. It will let you know over and over and over again.
Doesn’t matter if your phone is on silent, and turned down all the way, as soon as you open the app you can see they have developed it turn the volume up for you.
It is SO BAD, and basically unusable as someone who has a baby at home.
Get rid of the app - or fix the stupid ringing. Would be nice to use it to check probe temps without waking a baby.

FIX THE ALARM
Turn off the BLASTED ALARM. DISABLE IT. No one CARES what the notification is. App is unusable because a ringing tone continually plays until you force quit the app. WHO IS MANAGING THIS? Previous reviews all true- white text on white background for wifi entry, disconnect from unit after 5min or nearly every time the screen times out on your phone, but I could forgive ALL of this if the incessant ringer didn’t go off even when you’re out of the phone. Apparently it can’t stay connected to your phone but it sure can continue to RING!!!

Pure crap
There are so many bugs with this app its retarded. Swapping from BT to WIFI does not work. And then it wont pull up the option to reconnect to wifi. Have to delete app and reinstall to prompt wifi settings correctly. Last update was over a year ago by now. Its garbage.
Grill is great!! App is the worst!
Easy to use… if they would fix the bugs.
Will not stay connected.
Have to restart app to turn off alarm.
Several other annoying bugs.

Update please?
Hey could you update this app? Seriously. After 6 months of alarms going off randomly and won’t shut off. The app shutting down and refusing to stay connected. That a big company like cuisinart would have the state of the app. But no updates in over a year? Come on. Fix your crap before I sell my pellet smoker and buy one from a competitor that has a better app.

Joke of an application
You can’t go more than 10 feet from the grill or it will disconnect. What’s the point of paying for a “Bluetooth” grill if the app is garbage and does not stay connected. The whole point of the app is not to have to watch the grill yet if you’re within 10 foot you might as well just look at the grill. The app is absolutely pointless. Same thing with the temp probes. Waste of time fooling with the app. Grill is good, but I’ve had mine little over a year and the low auger sensor is constantly going off so I just left the grill on overnight out of pellets and the beeping finally stopped. Tried unplugging the sensor itself and it still goes off.

App is trash
Grill is great; app is trash.
Even if you could keep it connected, there no real reason to have it. Maybe 20 overall recipes on the app…none very impressive.

No good
This app is one of the worst. I have a twin oaks dual function grill. Every time this app closes the blue tooth disconnects. I have to reconnect it every time I close out of it. This app will also ring at any point in time if you’re cooking. Whether it’s on silent or dnd it will ring!
App needs a lot of work
App is garbage which renders the WiFi connectivity useless. My grill will only connect via Bluetooth and barely stays connected. When there is a notification it is almost impossible to end the alert. I WAS SOLD A FEATURE ON MY GRILL THAT I CANT USE. Please fix the app and firmware on the grill.
Will not stay connected
Doesn’t stay connected to probe which makes it basically useless.
The app is garbage.
The thermometer seems to work ok but the app has some serious connectivity issues. If you are buying this thermometer for the Bluetooth feature, look elsewhere.
Terrible App
I have had no issues with the app connection. The issue is the recipes section is a total joke and the App in itself has little to no use whatsoever.
App doesn’t stay connected and ignores alert settings
Phone on silent or do not disturb? No problem! This app will gladly just make noise when In those modes. Smoking something and off to church? Despite being on silence, this app will embarrass you by interrupting any sermon no matter how silent you make your phone! Need to turn off the alarm? Nope! You have to close the app. Acknowledging the alert does nothing. Why? Who knows because this app will not stay connected for longer than about 20 seconds. Want to change your Wi-Fi? This app includes white text in a white edit field for your convenience. Editing settings gs has never been stupider. Smoker is great. App is hot, melted garbage.

Easy to use with extras
App is easy to use with a couple extras. Recipes, history, big bold lettering and multiple timers are a huge plus. Downside? Well Bluetooth just isn’t it. It’s a horrible technology with range and kills the battery on your phone. This app would. R much better utilized with whole home Wi-Fi for range and usability. Keep working guys
