Accurate and very handy

My iCelsius has been dependable for 3 years so far.
Love the interface!

Beso a el programmer

I would give this programmer a kiss because this programmer seems to be like my soulmate, the same brain as mine, please, he is the only programmer like he is supposed to, Develop applications to measure temperature like he is supposed to, without any kind of decoration, like a band, that ridiculousness of to be buying a device with DriversFor the only Driver it is all a matter of programming I would like to know this programmer as it is the personality it is the characteristic ah ah Facebook is even better because it does things as it is supposed to And if it is like that I would make friends run to make applications like MandaThe computational paradigms

Cannot be used for accurate temperature readings

I do not have a thermometer with me and google suggested to use this app, you can toggle from Celsius to Fahrenheit for easier understanding. It clocked me at 88Β° Fahrenheit. Obviously not accurate in the slightest. Do not recommend.

Not supported

No longer supported for ios14, last update 1 year ago. Does not connect via Wi-Fi and does not recognize when direct connected. WALK AWAY!

App crashes on iphone x

Keeps crashing. Please fix it

Nice app for Bluetooth and WiFi

I like this better than the other ones

Constantly crashes

Can’t open the app, constantly crashes on iPad and iPhone!

Awesome for monitoring temperature

I designed a system to monitor the temperature inside my truck because we take our dogs everywhere with us. I can set an alarm threshold and get back to the truck if there is a problem with the air conditioner. Thanks.

Unreliable remote sensing

I bought this to sense a temperature remotely. It is wifi connected to a business router with a fixed IP. The setup is a bit flaky. You must first use a smartphone and the iCelsius app to connect to the unit's own wifi SSID. When that us done you must load the internet router's password into the unit. Then you switch back your smartphone to the router. You also need a Google account, rather than use a port number on a fixed IP, like every other security device I know.
The end result us that I frequently try to look remotely at a temperature and I get nothing after it works for a while. The sensing using a browser, via Google account, does not survive 24 hours before the supplied software loses the sensor and displays 'no data'.
The software supplied is idiosyncratic to say the least. It is anything but ergonomic.
The worst aspect of this system is the non-existent support. I have used the 'Contact Us' page on the supplied software and the messaging button on their Facebook page but have not been even acknowledged.
The system is usable locally when a smartphone can talk directly to the unit but I give up on using the remote facility.

2.2.9 iPhone 5

The most important item on the live view (current temp) is now messed up on version 2.2.9. Example if the temperature is 150.5 degs, the live view shows 1...5

I use this app for a wood burning boiler output temperature. I check the temp regularly through the day and now must go to graph and wait a minute for the temperature to appear on the graph. I don't know how the failure of the most important item within the app wasn't caught before the update release.

Principal

Piece of junk. Doesn't work.

Great as a cigar hygrometer

Very accurate and convenient method to monitor temp and RH levels in my humidor while I'm home or away using the remote monitoring. Looking forward to trying the BBQ temp probe I also bought.

Handy and accurate

I do love this product and its companion app is good. It works great. I don't have any trouble with the app. The only issues are small and they are with the equipment itself. The plug in doesn't stay plugged in very easy so I use a rubber band to hold it together and that fixes the problem. The other issue is the lights on the temperature probe are very difficult to see in daylight.

All in all I would still recommend this product to friends and family. I love being able to put a brisket on the smoker and keep an eye on the meat temperature and the smoker temperature al from my smart device. I've been known to plug my iPad in and set the display to never shut off and just leave the app open and watch it while doing other things. Like enjoying a cold beer with friends. And everyone can hep keep an eye on the meal. Makes for more fun.

Has potential...

This product and app have a lot of potential, but many software bugs remain to be fixed. Syncing through your home network is supposed to then allow linkage through the internet, allowing remote monitoring from an iPad or iPhone, anywhere you go beyond your own wifi network. The connectivity, however, is inconsistent and frequently disconnects. Additionally, every time you switch to a different app screen on your device (like switching back to Settings so you can reconnect the wifi that you just lost...again), you lose all of the temperature history that you've been graphing. Very frustrating as that is the whole point to graphing. It is supposed to store your temperature and graphing history, but doesn't do so.

On the plus side, the thermometer appears to be extremely accurate down to the tenth of a degree. You can even just blow on it lightly from a few feet away and it will register the temp change.

Overall, good hardware, software needs work. Hope they fix it as I'd really like to not have to return the product. I'm perfecting brisket recipes and temp accuracy (and being able to see what it actually IS) is critical!

UPDATE 5/29/16:
Ok, sorry folks. As much as I wanted this thing to succeed, it is really just crap. Latest update just crashes repeatedly. Completely unreliable for what I need it to do. Returning it on Tuesday and demanding full refund. Don't bother purchasing until they fix EVERYTHING about their software, or better yet just buy from someone else.

Nearly there - but crashes ruin it

The app does everything I need, really nice graphing of temps, alerts, good UI... But...

It crashes every time my phone locks or I switch to another app, losing all my data for that session. This is so annoying and makes it almost useless. How am I meant to monitor my cooks if I can't just come in and out of the app over a 8-12 hour smoking session?

Even if I leave it running on my iPad it will still crash randomly after an hour or so, again losing all that session's data.

Please fix this app!

Dead on third use

I bought iCelsius BBQ to use roasting coffee at home. Died on my third roast, way below 450F. I emailed support, exchanged a couple of messages, then they stopped replying without solving my problem.

Stop fixing stuff that isn't broken!

The last update made my device inoperable. I keep getting a pop up to download a newer version even though I've downloaded already, deleted the app and redownloaded, and reset power. Nothing stops the pop up! When I hit NO (don't download) the app crashes. Complete BS. I'm returning the unit.

Gets the job done but could be a superstar if...

Ok so this device is able to monitor your bbq and food temp, so what all the gizmos can do that...

I already have a maverick thermometer and it works well except for one thing...

I cannot put on a brisket and monitor the bbq and food temp while I'm out and about. This is the reason I purchased the iCelsuis. With this device and app I can monitor my food and bbq temperature via the Internet while I'm out and about. No more being tethered to the house!!! Fantastic.

It's almost a slam dunk except the alarms and notifications don't sound when the app isn't open. I don't think they've set it up to run in the background. What a shame I can't get a warning while the app is closed. Opening the app will still let you know where things are at but background notifications would really help.

The app will actually let you set an alarm that calls a number. Not sure what that's about but sending a txt to your phone is the bbq or food hits alarm state would be amazing.

Almost there guys keep going!!

Fantastic

Support is tremendous!

This works well and that's the best part. It just works! I tried several other remote iPhone temperature sensors and non worked as well as this.

Also as I started to say support is great. Contacted them and had a question resolved right away.

Highly recommend!

Love it

Works great. Love the wireless temp monitoring. Wish it stayed connected for more than 2 weeks at a time and I didn't have to register the probe as often as I do, but works great.
