### 1/5 — Worthless

*2026-06-20, version 1.4.17*

The fact connecting this so difficult and keeping it connected makes this smoker as a whole so much worse.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2026-06-18, version 1.4.17*

Just like everybody says, absolute garbage. Never connects , and when it finally does, it disconnects. Absolute waste. It was a selling point for my smoker. Beyond aggravated and disappointed. Should have bought a Trager

### 1/5 — Can’t use it

*2026-05-14, version 1.4.17*

Can’t even log in because the app refuses to send verification email making the app completely useless

### 1/5 — It works 2% of the time

*2026-04-18, version 1.4.17*

It works 2% of the time the rest it’s not connected or just doing nothing

### 3/5 — Good enough

*2026-04-17, version 1.4.17*

The good: The app does provide ability to remotely mange and get status on the smoker. Virtually all options available via panel are available in app through settings. 👍
The bad: whether the app or Mammoth, but this constantly disconnects. Not WiFi as I have other devices operating at further distances in same direction. Logic for temp range alarms don’t turn off when grill is turned off. So alarms will continue to alert. Rather they should disable once cook ends. Login is little clunky in that it constantly prompts. Saving login helps but the auth portion of app needs to better cache to improve experience. 
Feature request: 
1) Fix temp range alarms to deactivate once cook it ended. 2) add iOS Live Activities to display realtime cook data (temp, duration and probes). 
3) add counter to track cooks. Include: date, cook temps (timeseries please!), probe temps (timeseries), open field for what was cooked. The timeseries data can be intervals of 5 or 10 minutes. 
4) Add ability to remotely power on with additional warning confirmation. Power on would be nice so while prepping food, the smoker can get up to temp making for a better cooking experience.

### 1/5 — Not connecting, again, after multiple calls and help from a tech.

*2026-04-08, version 1.4.17*

I’ve called Grilla grill about the problem a few times. They told me it had to do with 2.4 not 5.0 connection. We have both. So I had a really savvy internet technician come out who set up the grill with a dedicated 2.4 specifically for the grill.  This guy knows his stuff. He’s set up whole house, and does internet/computer tech work for a living. A booster is within approx 10 feet of the grill. It worked for a full day, yet here I am back to the same problem of it not connecting. The problem is definitely not my internet. I have no other problems with any other device in the house. I like the grill but the app is useless. So now I go out every few minutes to check the temperature. Oh, the plug in thermometer which came with the grill is off by 20 degrees. I tested it against a thermapen and  a regular meat thermometer. The tech got it working. But since I updated to the newest iPhone it’s quit working again. Gotta call the tech again and drop some more money on this app and grill.

### 1/5 — Can’t login anymore

*2026-03-04, version 1.4.17*

Just like the other said. App is worthless.

### 3/5 — Ok at best

*2026-01-21, version 1.4.17*

Easy to adjust temp from the app. Thats about it. Timer doesn’t do anything, no alerts/notifications when time is up. Some videos say start grill from app, not possible.

### 1/5 — Cheap Wi-Fi Controller

*2025-12-25, version 1.4.17*

Cheap Wi-Fi controller. The app is great when it connects. This is due to extremely cheap components. There is NO reason outside of being CHEAP to not have a 2.4/5Ghz Wi-Fi controller.

### 1/5 — App is garbage

*2025-12-25, version 1.4.17*

Not sure why they even have an app. Had to spend an hour connecting it, for it to work for 3 weeks, then for it to stop working during my Christmas Eve brisket. Do NOT buy this smoker if you want a working WiFi app.
