Just updated - STILL Buggy
Can’t believe that after a half dozen updates over past couple months for ’stability’ still leaves an app that forgets about a cook underway and starts a new cook everyone I leave the app or my iPhone locks. If lucky, it is still connected to my cooker and I can select the current cook from the history tab. If unlucky, most of the time, the device shows not connected. I have to close the app and restart the app. It quickly sees the controller and connects. I then select the book from history and I’m up and running again until I set my phone down.
Unbelievable!

Do not update
Update broke my device, it no longer reads pit temperature. Was mid cook and things working perfectly, update applied automatically and even with a spare brand new probe, the device won’t read
Never connects
It’s a good piece of kits when it works. Unfortunately it drops connection and ‘device can’t be found’ each time you take it out to cook. Zero from me
Save Your Money and Frustrations
This Egg Genius is a POS - it is a hassle every time I use it since the beginning. Constantly having to add it back to the app and never works. Do not depend on this if you plan on smoking.
It’s was smoking made simple, and then it updated
I’ve had it since 2018, and for some stretches it worked great - but now there’s always an issue. The alerts aren’t reliable, the fan is impatiently trying to raise or lower the temperature too quickly. It’ll eventually blow out my coals if I don’t catch it.
I have a medium egg and sometimes it feels like it’s trying to oxygenate an XL running full blast - then all of a sudden it’ll stave the flame until it’s out, then flood it again with full fan to try and recover eventually blowing it out.
There was a time when I could use it almost like an oven, now I feel like I’m probably better off going old school and just using the vents. The egg can be pretty consistent over a long cook with just the vents, but the egg genius - not a chance anymore.
Unfortunately, I wouldn’t recommend it now. Maybe there should be a setting for different sizes? They need to get it going again, that’s all I do know.
