The app keep resetting itself while cooking so you loose the time of how long it has been cooking for and have to restart it. It does show you the internal temp. App needs some improvement!!! ### 2/5 — Bug for iOS 26.3 *2026-03-02, version 1.2.5* After clicking “Get Started” I receive an “Attentions” [sic] page about placement of the probe. I cannot advance beyond there. ### 2/5 — Disconnecting when leaving app *2025-12-26, version 1.2.5* Everytime I leave the app and log back in, it resets the cook time and I have to do the whole thing over again which is extremely frustrating ### 1/5 — No connection *2025-11-02, version 1.2.4* Complete waste of my money. Tried a dozen times to pair. No luck. ### 1/5 — Just doesn’t work *2025-10-10, version 1.2.4* App seems to work fine. You can set time/temp etc but it doesn’t hold connection via Bluetooth. I had my phone next to the oven with the probe next to the glass and it kept disconnecting. I don’t recommend this at all ### 1/5 — useless! *2025-09-30, version 1.2.4* instructions are woefully inadequate! So much of probe must be inserted that it cannot be used on smaller items ### 1/5 — Junk *2025-09-29, version 1.2.4* Probe 1 will not connect. Alarm goes off with X displayed “Repeat er”. ### 1/5 — No good *2025-09-27, version 1.2.4* Probe keeps losing signal. I have not been able to complete 1 cook with these probes as they keep loosing the connection. I have tried many times with different cooking methods. Not sure if they just don’t like heat. ### 1/5 — Pathetic *2025-06-25, version 1.2.4* The probe keeps losing signal. Don’t buy. ### 1/5 — App doesn’t really work *2025-06-15, version 1.2.4* Probe charges then pairs. The screen comes up showing the probe but the temp reads zero and the screen is unresponsive to taps. Charging. Resetting. Redownloading. Rebooting. No effect. Total waste. They include a coupon offering to pay you for a five star Amazon review so that explains it I guess. ### 1/5 — Disconnects *2025-06-10, version 1.2.4* Tried this while visiting my daughter. Probe started out fine reading but after 4 minutes lost consciousness injection during baking of bread. It was fully charged. I tried everything: deleted app and installed again, plugged in base. Nothing worked. Meater brand probe works way better. ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2025-05-31, version 1.2.4* Don’t waste your money ### 1/5 — Absolutely Horrible *2025-05-24, version 1.2.4* This may be the most annoying app/product ever. Constantly disconnects and probe is not accurate. Sitting right next to the probe and it still loses connection about every 2 minutes. ### 1/5 — Probe won’t work *2025-05-18, version 1.2.4* Probe keeps disconnecting when trying to cook meat in the oven. I take the charging box off charge and 5 mins later the probe has no battery left. Don’t waste your money ### 1/5 — Eats your battery *2025-05-10, version 1.2.4* Keeps using battery even after you stop using it ### 1/5 — Probe won’t work *2025-03-30, version 1.2.4* Probe keeps disconnecting when trying to cook meat in the oven. I take the charging box off charge and 5 mins later the probe has no battery left. Don’t waste your money ### 1/5 — Piece of junk *2025-03-02, version 1.2.4* This disconnects from the charger ever 5 mins even tho it’s sitting on the smoker you literally can’t put it any closer. Total junk ### 1/5 — Horrible *2025-02-11, version 1.2.3* Wish I could give a big fat zero! Probe doesn’t work. App doesn’t work. Company doesn’t return emails. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2026-06-13, version 1.2.5* Worked ok once and now just constantly losing connection. Frustrating and useless. ### 1/5 — Absolutely useless *2026-06-07, version 1.2.5* What a joke of a product,probe doesn’t connect to the app and Home Screen doesn’t respond to any prompts. Don’t waste your money,do what I should’ve done and get the ninja one in the first place. Only reason I gave it one star is that it won’t let you do negative stars. ### 1/5 — When it works, it’s good *2026-05-31, version 1.2.5* When the Probe Plus works it’s good. The problem is the connection. It’s not reliable and I wished I checked the reviews, before buying this item. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-05-11, version 1.2.5* Firstly, the app is not very intuitive, even if you do manage to keep the probe connected, it’s unclear how to use it. Secondly, the probe loses connection all the time - both between the base and the probe, and the base and your phone. When this happens, the app loses the configuration of timer/meat/temp that you’ve set up, making the whole thing frustratingly bad. Don’t waste your money ### 1/5 — App stinks *2026-05-03, version 1.2.5* Don’t work anymore ### 1/5 — A swing and a miss! *2026-05-03, version 1.2.5* I was starting to wonder why you have not fixed your app with the thermometer. I pay good money for this and it’s a 50-50 shot if it will work. And the problem is not the meter. It’s the app itself. ### 1/5 — Don’t fall for it *2026-02-22, version 1.2.5* This thing really does stop working after a few uses. It’s not cheap and somehow has 4-4.7 stars on Amazon but it must be Bot Accounts because this thing is not accurate at all anymore. ### 1/5 — App and Unit do not work together *2026-02-21, version 1.2.5* Wasted money on this as the app doesn’t connect. Try uninstalling and installing multiple times. ### 1/5 — Awful *2026-02-14, version 1.2.5* Worked for 2 uses but was questionable on accuracy, now it has a greyed out screen, says it’s connected but no reading. Tried reinstalling app, no luck. Threw it out. If I could give this 0 stars I would. ### 1/5 — Waste of money! *2025-12-24, version 1.2.5* Unable to properly sync ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — So far, so GOOD!!! *2024-12-29, version 1.2.3* I set up the drive and charged the probe, have the app downloaded and connected to my device. The app was easy to navigate and understand the process. I look forward to using it. I will leave another review after I use it. ### 5/5 — Works Great! *2024-03-31, version 1.0.4* Works awesome…just keep the box near the probe. That simple!!! ### 5/5 — Love the app *2023-12-25* Short version that I hate to see this app get 2.8 stars. That’s not doing it justice! I love the app! It has a super easy interface, and all the features you could want. I love the graph of how it has gone up in temperature. I love the app, it’s easy to use, and definitely a 5 star in my book. ### 5/5 — Works great *2023-11-22* So far I’ve used this twice and meat was cooked perfectly. ### 5/5 — Very handy *2023-10-20* Not sure where the 1 star rate came from other reviews, but I recently purchased this product because I’ve been cooking more and more. Came across this probe and decided to give it a try. I love the ease of access and usage on this app. Very simple and straightforward app. Connects well and provides useful guides for cooking all sorts of meats, from poultry to beef and more. Highly recommend for amateur chefs and professionals alike. ### 4/5 — There’s bugs, but… *2025-05-31, version 1.2.4* It could be worse 3.5/5 ### 4/5 — A little fiddly initially but stick at it *2025-05-10, version 1.2.4* Does the job very well, once you work your way through the setup phase. You need to take the probes out of the charged base to activate the temp control process, which you find before the main page. You have to scroll backwards to find it. Blue tooth range is further than other similar products I like it ### 4/5 — Probe Plus *2024-11-14, version 1.2.2* I bought this item with a great feeling of being loose from wires. Well they performed very well other than not having very good connections. I lost connection about every 10 minutes and the distance was about 20 foot. The real headache is the App; it is horrible. Any time that you leave to go to another app, I lost all data because it doesn’t save until you end the cooking. I’m trying to find another App that would work with my probes, but to now avail. ### 3/5 — App works but isn’t very intuitive *2024-08-31, version 1.2.1* The app can connect to the probe fine but once connected you can’t actually until you insert it into your meat, then once it detects temperature can you set a target temp ### 3/5 — Lost connection *2024-07-21* I loved this for a couple months. Not heavily used. Today it didn’t reconnect even after ensuring it was fully charged, as well as the base. I’m deleting the app and downloading it again, hoping that it will fix it. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
