Simple to use

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.

Easy to use but

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?

Alarm no longer triggers on phone

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

No longer triggers alarm on the phone.

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

It used to work

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

It does what it says, and we've experienced flawless performance.

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.

Really great thermometer

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!

Graph function useless

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.

Garbage

App worked fine until last update, now it no longer works

Temperature graph keeps getting cleared!

This app has 1 major flaw. Anytime the thermometer looses Bluetooth connection from your phone and then reconnects, the temp graphs loose their data. So if you’ve been tracking progress on a 5 hour cook and step out of Bluetooth range for 1 second then you loose all your temp history. Super annoying and unnecessary! Just give a way to manually clear temp graphs and stop clearing them automatically when the app reconnects to the thermometer. How hard is that?

Graph thumbs down

It's been over a year since last update. Obviously the won't be another. Find a different temp probe that works with a good app..Purchased this to monitor food and grill temp. Y-axis doesn't change so trend is useless for temp over approx 250! PLEASE FIX Y AXIS UPDATE: VERSION 3 DEVELOPER: Please just read REVIEWS and redesign graph!

No compatible with latest update from Apple

Can’t use it

Suggestion

I really like the functionality of the thermometer and the app, but my phone disconnects when it is out of range. If you added Apple Watch support, I could leave my phone within range, and then when an alarm is sounded it could alert me on my watch over WiFi.

App needs work

A couple of flaws I noticed right away.. the app does not allow push notifications in its current state on IOS. In phone settings, the push notification option is not there. Also, Writing a message for timers is white on white. When the timer goes off (silent in app only) the message appears but you cannot see it at the time of writing.

Not reliable

It will happily let something overcook 5 or 10 gegrees without the app alarming. But then you go take your item off the grill and it alarms over and over and over after the probe is removed from the meat. Basically a useless monitoring tool.

Needs a Watch App

Terrific app for the smoker-lets one cook to the correct temperature, not by time.

But they need a Watch app to complement the iPhone app! I would revise rating to 5 stars if they did.

Close to Perfect

It’s fine, does what it says will do…my only issue (it’s very annoying) is that it doesn’t keep the temperature history. It’s a joke how bad it is, constantly resetting. The functionality is completely worthless since they don’t have the technology to measure the temp without you being in the app.

Needs ability to add devices

While the ability to monitor as many as 6 probes connected to the same device is nice, it would be just as nice to be able to add a second device. I might be cooking something in the oven in the kitchen while grilling steaks outside. For this I need two devices. It would be nice to have them all on one app. So I had to download your clone app, iEasyBBQ, and put my device on that one.

Calibration

Initially the app and device were fine but soon the temperature readings became erratic and clearly wrong. No apparent way to calibrate the probes.

Poor product!

Fair

I like the app but the bluetooth link is unsatisfactory.
Unable to monitor temps from a distance.
