### 1/5 — Does not work at all.

*2026-07-21, version 3.0*

If I could I would give it 0 stars because it doesn’t work, it doesn’t read the temp right at all, then sometimes doesn’t even read the temp, I threw the stupid thing against the wall and haven’t felt better since if I could go back I would set it on fire then put it out with water just to burn it again.

### 1/5 — No longer connects to iPhone

*2026-06-07, version 3.0*

No matter what I tried can’t get it to connect to my iPhone, even if I’m right next to it

### 5/5 — Simple to use

*2025-07-04, version 3.0*

Simple to use, up to six probes can be used at what time. App give you a range of preset temperature definitions, depending on what you are cooking. Have not had any issues whatsoever in the last three years.

### 3/5 — Easy to use but

*2025-05-27, version 3.0*

I can’t seem to delete custom made presets. I don’t want 100 presets clogging up my preset menu. How do I get rid of them?

### 1/5 — Alarm no longer triggers on phone

*2025-04-04, version 3.0*

No longer triggers an alarm or notification. Also doesn’t show current temp on dashboard. Shows it’s connected via Settings but only shows presets

### 1/5 — No longer triggers alarm on the phone.

*2025-03-07, version 3.0*

Smoker failed but the alarm on my phone doesn’t go off anymore.

### 1/5 — It used to work

*2025-02-15, version 3.0*

If I’d written this when I first got the device I would have recommended it. The app no longer works. Bluetooth won’t link. I deleted and reloaded the app and now it doesn’t know Bluetooth is on an won’t move off the launch page. Save your money

### 5/5 — It does what it says, and we've experienced flawless performance.

*2024-08-31, version 3.0*

It has met our expectations, and we are happy with it. This device and app are not data-supported devices by your phone provider carrier's signal to each other but by the strength of their and your device's connection to your Wi-Fi network; we've experienced no glitches and flawless use.

We have used this for eighteen months, about two to four times per month, to smoke briskets and barbeque steaks.

If your Wi-Fi signal is spotty, the device the probes attach to at the cooker still has an audible alarm. We can hear the alarm through insulated vinyl windows and the alert on the phone.

### 5/5 — Really great thermometer

*2024-05-26, version 3.0*

I have had this thermometer for a while now and love it! I received 6 probes with it but haven’t used more than 2 at a time. Works great smoking two different meats on the Traeger or pork roast in the oven. The preset temps are great and easy to change. Temp has been right on. No problems with connection. Highly recommend!

### 1/5 — Graph function useless

*2024-05-19, version 3.0*

The memory/graph function is completely useless. The app resets randomly, even when your phone is on, awake, and connected to the thermometer, meaning you randomly lose everything - data, history, graphs, just gone. Don’t recommend this app at all.  

Just ordered a new set of probes from a different company. Can’t wait to delete this app and throw away the thermometer probes.
