Bluetooth
Bluetooth doesn’t present its self on my iPhone 13
BT thermometer
The back arrow and App Store overlap each other on the top left corner of the screen which causes you to go somewhere you don’t want to go. Like back to the App Store when you trying to use the app and back out editing is not easy to edit your presets or customize
Connection
The app couldn’t connect to the thermometer. The probes are OK but very disappointed about the wireless aspect.
Poor performance
Bluetooth connection has always been spotty at best and now after a year of periodic use it won’t connect at all. It also doesn’t have correct preset temperatures built in for meat temps. The app needs some serious overhaul.
Useless
This app is completely useless.
After connecting the smoker, it stays connected for about 30-60 seconds then unconnected and goes back to the beginning.
I have to buy separate thermometers to monitor my meat unless I want to stand there all day.

Constantly Times Out
Would be a much better if it had a refresh rate capable of reading when your phone times out or your using it for other purposes. The moment you visit any other page and go back to Expert Grill, it initiates a reconnection all over again. It desperately needs an update.
Needs an update
Needs an update - needs option to save past cooks and notes section. As others have stated - constantly disconnects - this needs addressed.
WiFi is really Bluetooth
This app needs reprogramming, here I thought that the Chinese had good programmers. Discounts a lot and you have to be close to the smoker for it to work. If it was real wifi then I could monitor from a distance. The other issue is every time you open the app, you need to find the smoker again, no memory of the connection.

...one Year Later...
From the last review: still app is not well supported. Useless as Bluetooth disconnects as soon as you walk away from grill. Please make it work!!! Thank you. Grill is good and even heat.
Expert Grill App
Just purchase the Expert Grill and started using the App.
First the Grill show a WiFi symbol but the App is Bluetooth, which loses connection frequently. Second why doesn’t the App have the ability to name your grill and then connect, instead of every time I use the app I have to find my grill.
TERRIBLE programming!

Doesn’t work
App connected the first time I turned it on. Went to use it after charging it and app doesn’t connect to thermometer. Have to go outside and watch temp.
Buggy as all …
I keep dropping a connection to the transceiver and therefore having to close the app, reopen it and then connect again. That’s when it works! Frequently it loads and then crashes. Relaunching it, it just can’t find the transceiver. The only thing that gets it working again is to uninstall it and then reinstall it, and sometimes needing a reboot of the phone in between the two.

Buyer beware
I hope this app protects someone from wasting 40$ buying this thermometer!!!!!
App is almost useless
My 3rd time using the grill and the 1st time I couldn’t get it to connect at all. 2nd time it worked pretty well. My 3rd time I can’t get it to connect to the grill unless I’m standing right next to it………which i don’t need it at that point.
Ok but many flaws.
The disconnect issue is bad. I use it to monitor my New Baunfels. Texas style smoker and grill. I use one probe of thermometer for grill temp and the other nor the meat. I have been more concerned with grill temp. Because of using lump coal and wood to smoke my foods. It is highly accurate but the device disconnect issue is insane. When the set up is just 20 ft or less away.

Great budget grill, horrible app
The grill has been great so far, I’ve cooked 4 times on it and loved what comes out. The app however leaves a lot to be desired. It constantly disconnects during the cooking which is maddening. Why can’t this be fixed!!??
App terrible
App is not great, disconnects to frequently
Works Great, Cooking Temps Need Revision
I used this to grill two steaks, and it was a great tool to track internal temps. I had to input custom temperature goals though, because the presets for beef were off. It set “medium” to 165, when I wouldn’t want it cooked past 145 degrees. The preset feature looks like it would be really convenient, but as it is, I don’t think it’s usable.

Junk don’t buy
Set grill to 350 it kept rising in heat until it reached over 400 degrees i then set it to 150 and it won’t get any lower then 390! Waste of money!!
*almost* unusable
It disconnects the instant you switch to another app, the range is awful, it’s laggy, it’s literally the worst app.
