### 2/5 — Constantly locking me out

*2026-07-25, version 1.0.45*

The app constantly logging me out and then won’t work with a password manager to let me log back in so I’m constantly having to cut and paste the password and username to get access into the app. It’s driving me mad. When it works, it’s great.

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2026-07-24, version 1.0.45*

Useless ..keeps rejecting me I would have thought that such a prestigious BBQ company would at least be bothered to keep their APP working!

### 1/5 — Can’t even create account

*2026-07-24, version 1.0.45*

Keep getting error message when trying to create account.

### 2/5 — App support

*2026-07-10, version 1.0.45*

Well it’s nearly impossible get access support at KJ without filling out your life story. I am unable to log in via the app as the screen is expanded and offset. The web site no problem. Also, I cannot even create a new account without it stating the password is not compliant. Sorry to reach out this way but I do need help. I’ll revise my review following.

### 3/5 — APP is basic but could easily be better

*2026-04-28, version 1.0.45*

Overall I like my Kamado Joe Konnected Big Joe, but the app needs some work.
1) The app does not always “live update” so what I see on the screen may be old information.  I can do a manual refresh from the main page if I catch it, but there is nothing on the app that lets me know it is showing old information.  Oddly, the notifications still function properly even when the app is showing different and old information.
2) Let me set high and low temperature alarms when I am using the Kamado grill in manual mode.
3) Your manual says that when cooling down, I should not fully close the top vent until the grill is less than 400 degrees, this app should have an alarm to let me know that has happened.

### 1/5 — Wtf. Shouldnt a Konnected Joe idk connect to the internet?!?

*2026-04-25, version 1.0.45*

Device gets an IP address but handshake and setup never complete.

### 4/5 — App good but could be better

*2026-04-20, version 1.0.45*

So far loving the Konnected Joe - all the on board features work well, my only complaint is when opening the cover, the fan shuts off, and takes a while to come back on to recover the temperature after closure. The app however does not always update in “live” mode so needs a manual refresh from the main page. Does also run the phone battery pretty hard. But alerts come thru to my watch which is nice

### 5/5 — Luv the App

*2026-02-17, version 1.0.44*

Absolutely love the app! Everything was easy to connect and set up. What I would like to see added is the ability to set an alarm if the temperature drops below a certain set point.

### 3/5 — Works fine but wont stay logged in.

*2026-01-02, version 1.0.44*

The app works generally ok. Biggest annoyance is that it logs out frequently and doesn’t autofill when using a password manager like apple passwords. The cooking and control portions of the app are fine, not exceptional but get the job done. No major issue there. The authentication problem is such a pain I frequently dont bother using the app and dig out different probes.   Please consider updating the app to support long lived authentication tokens or at the very least some form of quick touch/faceID reauthentication if this is coming from a higher corporate security policy.

### 3/5 — Connectivity issues

*2025-12-25, version 1.0.44*

My Joe and the app keep disconnecting from each other and from the internet despite having a strong connection. This means I can’t use the included temp probes. Will give five stars if I can get some support.
