Accurate and very handy
Love the interface!
Beso a el programmer
Cannot be used for accurate temperature readings
Not supported
App crashes on iphone x
Nice app for Bluetooth and WiFi
Constantly crashes
Awesome for monitoring temperature
Unreliable remote sensing
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.

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.

Great as a cigar hygrometer
Handy and accurate
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...
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
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
Stop fixing stuff that isn't broken!
Gets the job done but could be a superstar if...
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
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!
