Not Even Functional

The app completely doesn’t work. I invested in this particular kiln after being told I could monitor and connect through the app and it turned out to be an outright lie. Do NOT purchase the Skutt KMT kiln sitter.

Meh.

I’ve had this free app for years and it is nice to be able to monitor the temperature but can’t see the history or skip ahead or anything else. There is a place that tells you if you want to see more to upgrade to premium but there is no place to do that. I would happily upgrade for as much as I use my kiln. Frustrating.

So disappointing

The app is very frustrating at best and really old at worst. So ridiculously complicated to just connect to your kiln.

Useless

Nothing works

Pretty disappointing

I love my kiln. I’ve got the touch screen KM which rocks and I love being able to see the graph of the kiln cycle. This app falls woefully short of expectations. There’s no over-time displays to show you where you are in your run. And if you happen to switch to the “Old View” and try to return to the “New View” the app completely forgets your kiln and you have to reconnect (which you cannot do while the kiln is running).
