### 2/5 — Napoleon accu-probe

*2021-10-10, version 3.0.1*

Not happy with this version. Prior version was much better.

### 2/5 — App ok not great

*2020-10-10, version 2.3*

If you happen to close app looses all history, temp, timer etc... not great app...

### 1/5 — Keeps disconnecting from Bluetooth

*2020-09-19, version 2.3*

Keeps disconnecting from the Bluetooth. Cant be more than 5’ away(what’s the point).  Hard to get it back to reconnect once it’s there. The customized temp setting doesn’t always work

### 1/5 — Worst App Ever

*2020-07-15, version 2.3*

When the phone is loosing the Bluetooth connection, the App resets the clock. That’s only one thing. The rest is not better and I’m wondering Apple approved the App

### 1/5 — Impossible à utiliser

*2020-06-28, version 2.3*

L’app plante à chaque tentative de synchronisation avec le thermomètre, rendant celui-ci inutilisable ! La qualité de cette app n’est pas acceptable de la part d’un fabricant haut de gamme comme Napoleon. Encore heureux que le thermomètre était offert gratuitement à l’achat du BBQ quoi que cela en fasse un cadeau empoisonné.

### 1/5 — Cochonnerie

*2020-05-23, version 2.3*

Impossible d’utiliser cette app. Dès que je sélectionne le device, l’application se ferme. 
Je comprends maintenant pourquoi ils donnaient le kit à l’achat d’un BBQ. J’aurais jamais payé pour ça.

### 1/5 — Keeps crashing no support

*2020-03-30, version 2.2*

Keeps crashing on phone when try to pair.  No support from Napoleon.  
Very disappointed

### 1/5 — Bluetooth se déconnecte constamment

*2019-07-15, version 2.2*

Un beau fiasco cette application qui ne sert absolument à rien. Bluetooth ne reste pas connecté.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2019-07-05, version 2.2*

Crashes 100% of the time.

### 1/5 — Blah!

*2019-05-18, version 2.2*

App crashes as soon as you select the pairing option. Been like this since I got it last year. Don’t buy unless they fix this problem!!!!!

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2019-04-21, version 2.2*

It just closes when pairing, so much for a $129 BBQ thermometer. Do not buy

### 1/5 — Useless App Always Crashes

*2019-04-21, version 2.2*

I used this app last year when I first got the probe. This season it crashes when I try to connect from my phone.

### 2/5 — Good start, but it needs some basic improvements

*2019-04-19, version 2.2*

Pros:
-Monitor bbq temperature remotely
Cons:
-While app is running, it doesn’t keep the display unlocked 
-Can’t setup an alarm if temp is lower than a given threshold
-Short Bluetooth range (about 8-10 meters)
-No wireless connectivity (Bluetooth only)

### 1/5 — Ugh

*2019-01-14, version 2.2*

Was having the same issue others are reporting where the app would crash when trying to pair with the thermometer. Deleted and reinstalled the app which fixed that. However, that does not fix the terrible UI and constant Bluetooth disconnects. (Even when within a few feet of the transmitter)

### 1/5 — ACCU-PROBE

*2018-12-25, version 2.2*

I’m having the same issues as the previous review. When you go to pair the probe with the app, it shuts the app down. Is Napoleon going to do something to fix this?  The probes work, but you have to hover over the thermostat to make sure you don’t over-cook. Just like you would do with a insertion thermostat.

### 1/5 — Updated the app and now it crashes every time it tries to pair

*2018-12-22, version 2.2*

Please fix this update!

### 1/5 — Needs cook edit feature

*2024-03-09, version 4.0.0*

Love the digital probe but it would be so nice if the app let you edit your target temp without ending the cook and starting again.

### 1/5 — Déçu

*2023-01-03, version 3.6.5*

Je perd toujours la connexion avec le Bluetooth pas très pratique

### 1/5 — Update is HORRIBLE!

*2022-11-19, version 3.6.5*

Please reinstall the old software. This app is unusable in its current state.

### 1/5 — Do not buy this device

*2022-04-15, version 3.6.5*

Started off good and then the app update(s).
Max temp is now 500 F. Why?
Doesn’t make sense. One of my probes is straying. Try and find probes to purchase is proving to be a challenge. 
I’m in the market for a new grill and it will not be a Napoleon.

### 1/5 — Unhappy

*2022-01-01, version 3.6.5*

Only worked once.

### 1/5 — Not working at all after new update

*2021-11-07, version 3.6.3*

Constantly crashing

### 1/5 — Très mauvaise mise a jour

*2021-09-26, version 3.0.1*

Les sondes ont des fiches de couleurs. L’ancienne version de l’app fonctionnant parfaitement et différenciait les sondes par couleur.
Maintenant on voit des numéros sur l’application pour les sondes.  Très difficile de s’y retrouver.
Je déteste tout simplement la nouvelle version et arrête de l’utiliser dès maintenant

### 1/5 — Previous version was way better

*2021-08-30, version 3.0.1*

This new version is really bad. Cannot have count up timer and temperature on same screen. Lost all my settings. Really poor update. And we can’t go back! Go do your homework. And speak to people who use this for real. This so called update is akin to a Trudeau decision with the mess that comes with its application.

### 1/5 — Bad app design

*2021-06-02, version 2.3*

I am a developer and can tell you the app was poorly designed.

Bluetooth disconnects and even worst, all historic data is lost when its disconnected ir app closed.

At least save the history and resume data recording on reconnect.

### 1/5 — Lousy app

*2020-10-17, version 2.3*

I’d give this a zero if I could - no wonder this device was heavily marked down at Home Depot (should have been my first clue to avoid this product). App simply will not pair with the device, no matter what I try. Device is just a glorified thermometer as a result. Avoid at all costs.

### 5/5 — I like the new updated app

*2021-11-08, version 3.6.3*

I have a couple of Bluetooth thermometers and haven't been using the Napoleon one much as the original app was clunky.  Then I noticed the app had been updated so I gave it another try.  Now I prefer this over all my other products!  There were a few crashes when it first was released but they seem to be issuing regular updates.  Works perfect for me now.  Better than my others.

### 5/5 — Accu Probe excellent for bbq

*2020-06-29*

Great way to safely cook meat on bbq excellent bit of kit and App

### 5/5 — Disappointing App

*2019-04-16, version 2.2*

Can’t believe our infamous Napoleon could put out a BBQ probe and app of such low quality. Bluetooth shuts down after a couple minutes no matter how close or far from the probe. Multiple resets do not help. A very poor design. Do not recommend this product or app. ZERO STARS.

Tried the probe on my iPad 6 and managed to keep the Bluetooth paired for almost 10 minutes before it disconnected. Note: the probe was in a chicken in an  oven in the house with phone and iPad within 15 feet. Zero Stars once more.

Customer service said phone is trying to connect to another blue tooth device and can disconnect from the Probe base. I took every Bluetooth device offline and tried again with the same, dismal results. A useless App.

Wow. Napoleon really stepped up for us. Sent us a new probe which work perfectly with Bluetooth and their app. And that’s why I always give Napoleon my business first. Thanks to Alysia customer service.

### 5/5 — Works like a charm

*2018-09-28, version 2.1*

Reinstall the app if it crashes, worked for me 😊

### 4/5 — Was good

*2019-08-20, version 2.2*

Was working great with my IPhone SE. But keep crashing when pairing Bluetooth with IPhone X. Do something to correct the problem. But working on IPad 6th gen. UPDATE: I uninstalled the app and reinstalled it and everything is working now.

### 4/5 — app is working again

*2018-12-20, version 2.2*

The app is finally working again. So far it’s working well.

### 4/5 — Good so far

*2018-09-04, version 2.1*

Bought this on the weekend doing up a whole beef tenderloin. Used one probe at each end. Thermometer and app all worked well. No issue with sync to my phone or any issue with app crashing as the other reviews said. One thing I had to cringe at a bit is the default for all the probe settings is for beef well done. Now what serious BBQ or chef cooks beef well done?

### 4/5 — Set temperature

*2018-05-26, version 1.1*

I can’t set manually the temperature with my app

### 3/5 — When the App works it’s great!

*2018-11-24, version 2.2*

I am happy with the product itself. Accurate and very fast reading. I am disappointed in the app that connects with product b/c it shuts down when I start the app and connect it with my thermometer.

### 3/5 — Functional but dated UI

*2018-06-16, version 1.1*

To be fair the app is functional and isn’t complicated. However the UI is really ugly, clunky, and not intuitive. For an app that literally does 2 things, and from a company that sells $3k grills, you’d think they could have thrown a few thousand dollars one time at a designer.
