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. ### 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. ### 3/5 — Count-up timer *2025-12-21, version 1.4.17* Add the option for the timer to count up ### 1/5 — Horrible Connectivity *2025-11-27, version 1.4.17* I’ve had my Grilla for a few years now and as much as I love my pellet smoker the WiFi connectivity is the absolute worst! Why sell a WiFi enabled grill when it constantly drops the connection. Every time I use the grill I have to spend at least 30 minutes trying to get the darn thing to reconnect. I’m to the point now I may sell it. The worst part is that EVERYONE has this issue yet they’ve done NOTHING to address it! So much for customer service and loyalty! ### 3/5 — Keep off VPN *2025-11-11, version 1.4.17* Works for what i need. For those getting Network Error or connection issues with the app itself, make sure you are not on a vpn. ### 3/5 — No program function *2025-10-12, version 1.4.17* Pro: The app connect to the smoker with temperature reading and able to change temperature remotely. Con: lost connection from time to time. Not able to program temperature profile by timer or reached target as available from other brand name pellet grills at the similar price range. ### 2/5 — Some features are broken *2025-09-28, version 1.4.17* The good: easy to use, clean navigation, allows easy temp changes and pellet control settings. Notifications work well for grill startup and shutdown. The bad: while it's easy to set target temp for the meat probe and timers, the notifications do not work. ### 3/5 — Actual Temps TOO SMALL *2025-07-29, version 1.4.17* Why are the actual temperature value text size 0.5? Huge user experience upgrade if the text was the same size as the set point. ### 1/5 — App is horrible *2025-07-17, version 1.4.17* If I want to use the app with my smoker, I have to create a new profile every single time and re-add it with Bluetooth and wifi. If I try to just sign in, it will show a connection error. The app should be awesome and the handful of time I went out of my way to re-add, it was great. I guess I will just write this app off for now and will keep checking for updates. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2025-06-28, version 1.4.17* Same issue as everyone else. The app is terrible and impossible to stay connected to the internet. Constantly getting disconnected or not being able to connect at all. Grill is within 15’ of a 2.4 WiFi router. I tried working with customer support but they kept insisting that it was my internet connection being the problem. Terrible company with a terrible smoker. I should have listened to the past reviews before wasting money on this. ### 1/5 — Terrible instructions *2025-06-08, version 1.4.17* Update the instructions to accommodate the new panel. Alpha connect will not connect to my 2.4 wifi. ### 1/5 — App no longer works *2025-05-24, version 1.4.17* The app worked initially when I bought it over a year ago but now I can’t even login due network error. Grilla grills had good reviews for their customer service but this app is hurting their product and reputation. When I’m in the market for a new grill, I will consider other option just because this app is a feature I want for my grill - to monitor my cooking remotely from my phone. ### 1/5 — Worst app in history of apps *2025-05-24, version 1.4.17* The buttons literally don’t work on this app and I can’t even reset my password. I figured I would give the app a try again after attempting multiple times to get it connected to Wi-Fi and now I can’t even get logged in. It’s appalling they have such a terrible app with all the marketing they do about Wi-Fi connected grills. ### 1/5 — Broken app *2025-05-12, version 1.4.17* Half the buttons don’t work, and I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app, forgot my password and the reset button is broken ### 4/5 — Smoker turn on feature *2025-04-30, version 1.4.17* I will say I love this thing. I have had it for about 8 months now. App has been a little finicky for connectivity. The one thing that bothers me the most is I can turn it on from my phone. That would be a game changer. For days where I’m am off to work and I want to start it at a certain time i can’t I need to be there to power it on. ### 3/5 — March 2025 update BAD *2025-03-31, version 1.4.17* Since the latest March 2025 update, I can no longer start or shutdown my OG with the app. There is no slider button. What gives? I guess the next thing to try is to uninstall the app, reinstall and go through the setup process again. Also on the main display of the app the date is 1970-1-1. ### 1/5 — Broken *2025-03-29, version 1.4.17* Works for the initial setup, after creating a new account each time. After you close the app it just says “attention network error” the next time you try to log in. Hey Grilla, fix your dang network ya turdz ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-03-28, version 1.4.17* Purchased a chimp and the app cannot connect to the grill even on the correct WiFi. ### 1/5 — Worst app. No connection *2025-03-28, version 1.4.17* How hard is it for this company to fix their dang app. It doesn’t connect to the grill 9 out of 10 times. ### 1/5 — Fix the problems with the app vs adding new products. *2025-03-19, version 1.4.15* The app needs fixing, not new product releases. Still doesn’t work with notifications. Like ever. And the ability to connect to networks is terrible. I have recently changed my network SSID. Very simple change and the SSID is one word. My grill connected to this network flawlessly the first time I set it up. I simply forced the network into 2.4ghz only mode and was off to the races. Now nothing has changed in my network other than the SSID and it simply refuses to connect. And you click on the troubleshooting link you provide and it’s a dead link. Completely useless. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Useless *2026-08-01, version 1.4.17* Doesn’t recognise my password then fails to send me an email to reset the password. Seems a common issue and why do you have to log in to use your smoker anways. Total junk app! ### 1/5 — Can’t use it *2026-07-31, version 1.4.17* Can’t even log in because the app needs me to make an account but refuses to send verification email no matter how many times I try or hit resend. You need to log in to use the stupid app but it’s impossible to create an account so the app and the wifi functions on the smoker are completely useless without ### 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 ### 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. ### 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. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Works great *2024-04-01, version 1.4.10* Overall a simple but effective app, starts the smoker, sets temp. Easy to setup. ### 5/5 — Great *2024-03-03, version 1.4.9* This app works fantastic on my silverback grill, very easy to use and don’t have any problems with Wi-Fi connection or the app automatically logging me out. Has timed out a couple times but when I open it, It automatically logs me right back in. I love being able to change settings whenever and wherever needed. ### 5/5 — Worked fine before update *2023-12-16* Now not getting any notifications from the app and constantly having to sign back in. ### 5/5 — Works Great *2023-12-14, version 1.4.7* Have been using this on the silverback and it works flawlessly. ### 5/5 — Alpha connect performance *2022-12-04, version 1.3.1* I’ve had zero issues with the alpha connect while using my Silverbac. It’s simple and to the point. This makes grilling so easy I feel like I’m cheating. ### 5/5 — Great APP *2022-10-29, version 1.3.1* Not sure why all the hate. The app worked flawlessly. I think the key to disconnects is you need a wireless extender somewhere near the grill if possible. I have a WI-FI satellite in my kitchen by my deck, which is about 15 feet from the grill, Haven’t had a disconnect yet. Setup was easy and took just a minute. Love adjusting the grill from anywhere, even turning it on/off is great. I think a need for improvement would be a graphing system. I did love this on my BGE fan because I knew when to wrap a pork butt or brisket to get over the stall. Grilla, please add this at some point. Overall, great work. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2022-08-27, version 1.3* Working flawlessly for me. Had some issues getting it set up but once I did, it’s awesome. Smoking brisket while at work 20 miles from home is awesome ### 5/5 — Perfect *2022-04-10* App works perfect, not sure why anyone would not like it. If you have an issue call customer service, chances are you did something wrong or got ahead of yourself before you had it set up. Mine works perfect and the Chimp is awesome. I have know these people since they stayed in business and I can assure you quality and customer service are top priority. ### 5/5 — WiFi Silverbac is Awesome! *2022-04-09* I have the Grilla Grills Silverbac, and the WiFi connection and app has worked perfectly for me since the first cook. I find the app to be super easy to use and it’s great to be able to start your grill from inside, monitor it remotely, and check up on how your cook is going. I see a lot of people have left reviews with issues or problems, which I am sorry to hear of, but my experience has been great so far. I am very happy with my Silverbac. ### 5/5 — Great App- Need Apple Watch Compatibility *2022-02-24* App works great as you would expect from any Grilla product. I would like to see two improvements. 1. The notifications sound is just the native iPhone alert and is too short and not loud enough to alert you on an overnight cook. Need that sound to be customizable. 2. Need Apple Watch compatibility. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
