### 1/5 — Either the app or Bluetooth does not work

*2025-12-29, version 2.0*

The thermometer works by itself. This app cannot connect to the device. I am very tech-savvy and it appears that either the device’s Bluetooth is defective or the app is defective.

### 1/5 — Why same price as competitors, but so much worse

*2025-12-26, version 2.0*

Great product and potential, but app hi looks like it was made for the first phone as well as the interface being lacking

### 1/5 — ichef Bt 600

*2024-12-25, version 2.0*

Just poor all around. Tossed mine in trash. Not worth effort or price I paid. JRV

### 1/5 — Needs update

*2022-07-03, version 2.0*

Although range not good it worked fine for a year but not now. Phone recognises the device but doesn’t open up the program when it is selected anymore. Can only use as manual thermometer now. Back and forward to BBQ

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2022-05-22, version 2.0*

Does exactly what it’s suppose to do - cooked a perfect lamp roast using this app with associated hardware.

### 1/5 — Mode section

*2022-04-08, version 2.0*

Interface doesn’t match the manual, I can’t locate the Mode Section???

### 1/5 — Great device, really bad app.

*2022-03-14, version 2.0*

Constants pop up error messages telling you that you out of Bluetooth range and reminding you that all the probes are not attached. Super obnoxious.

Not intuitive on how to adjust temps it has a steep learning curve.

No way to silence alarm with out adjusting temp in app, then it wants to restart your graph and timer.

Randomly loses connection then you have to go back in and refund the device and you lose your graph history and timer.

The concept for what the app can do is amazing but the execution comes across as a beta that never should have been deployed.

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money

*2022-03-13, version 2.0*

This thing is so out dated and is a waste of money. Bluetooth is horrible, not all the features on this app even work. Very cheap idk how else to say it.

### 1/5 — Smokin’ Joe

*2022-01-07, version 2.0*

Bluetooth is irrelevant as poor range means you have to sit next to bbq/smoker for app to remain connected. My 8 hour slow cook meant having to abandon this device and go back to manual checking with stand alone thermometer by regular trips from inside as I had done previously.

### 1/5 — PIA

*2021-11-25, version 2.0*

Every time I open my phone with this going I get the errors probe 3 and 4 not attached, of course I DONT HAVE PRODE 3 and 4.  Gotta get through those errors. Then I get low BT signal while inside my house, oh yeah that over road the missing probes 3 and 4 so now that’s back up.  It should have a setting in me which proves I have and use.  I WILL NEVER BY PROBES 3 and. 4 and will probably be looking for another unit.
