When it works, it works

I’ve been using this app for a few years now. I’ve been holding out hope that the developers would fix some very basic bugs, but so far they haven’t.

The biggest bug in this app is that it constantly signs you out, mid-smoke. This app is more secure than my banking apps. I wish they would create a fix to limit logouts to every 90 days or so. I’m not overly concerned with hackers obtaining my smoke data.

Along those lines, when signing back in the app does not auto-populate username/password stored in my device. These minor fixes would make the app much more enjoyable.

Error messages

It needs some work. When you get an error message it offers you the option to delete it. Which it then won’t do. You have to turn the app and the bbq fully off and then back on to clear a simple (and in those cases wrong) error.

Terrible

The app is absolutely terrible! I have had my grill for about 3 years and I love the grill. The app is junk!!!! It constantly looses connection and they still haven’t been able to fix it. Why and how have the developers not been able to fix this issue?!?!

Timer won’t reset

This would be great if when you reset the timer it would work

App doesn’t work

I’ve always had the same issues absolutely everyone has complained about. Well now it doesn’t seem my device and if I remove it I can no longer afford it. It says to select a type and nothing shows. So the app is now useless. I don’t see how hard it is to get a functioning app

Meh

This app could be amazing. Unfortunately, it automatically logs me out multiple times during a cook. It’s a major pain in the rear to have to login every time it logs me out

App is not useable at all.

The reliability of this app is nonexistent customer service knows this and takes no actions into fixing it. So if you bought the grill for ease of use you might as well return the grill.

Does not adjust temperature when changed in the app

It shows the temperature of the smoker but when you change the temp in the app it does not change it on the smoker. Yes it is connected to WiFi properly.

Great App Hindered by One Frustrating Bug

This app is well designed and typically works well in letting me monitor and control my grill. However…it keeps logging me out on what feels like an every other week basis and it’s super frustrating. On top of that, it doesn’t seem to support the iOS Passwords app so when it does randomly decide I need to be logged out, I can easily autofill and log back in. If the developers can address that bug, it would be a 5/5 stars from me.

App issues

The masterbuilt app is horrible. Connections issues every cook. Your either kick out of your account or the smoker falls off and you can’t connect. What good is an app if you can’t use it?

560 temp control

Have issues with the accuracy of the temp probe for the smoking/ grilling box. The actual temperature of smoker chamber is actually 30° lower than the reading. I have replaced the probe, but the new probe has the same reading as the original. Not sure if it’s the controller or an issue with the placement/location of the probe. Any known fixes ? Overall very satisfied with the unit. Thanks Larry Markee

App doesn’t work

The app stopped working for me. It wouldn’t recognize the grill that I connected previously. I tried deleting and adding it again then it disappeared. Now when I try to add a device, it doesn’t even give me options to choose from so I can’t add it back. This thing is completely useless.

Asian Outdoor

Love it. Keep it up!!!
Just only, one thing is I will have to log in every time after a week.

fix it felix

never ending issues with connection. the longest time sink when starting a smoke is getting this all connected

The worst app ever

This app never works and I have to reset my password everytime I use it.

Garbage app

Every time you want to use your smoker you need to re pair the thing! Not buying another of these stupid things after this one goes.

It’s better

Keeping the connection is better. I still have to unplug the smoker and replug each time to get it to connect with the app. Once connected now I’m on a 2.4Ghz WiFi, it stays connected.

Constantly logs out

Absolutely annoying that it can’t even survive an 8 hour cooking session without logging out. Unacceptable.

Love it

I had a master belt electric smoker for several years. I used it frequently and even took it camping. Eventually the seal around the door stopped working among other things and I needed to get a new unit. My husband purchased this one for Christmas as it was closest to my old one and I really like one. I’ve had this one for about six months now and love it. I find the electric smokers quite a bit easier to use as far as regulating temperatures. This one fits quite a bit of food in it. And is easy to clean. The app works well and I haven’t had any problems with the unit or the app.

Great machine. Lame app

This app COULD BE great but isn’t. It comes no where close to the quality and consistency of the hardware. Download and install anyway but prepare to be underwhelmed and be prepared to log in each time you fire up this turd of an app.
