Temp probe target broken

Not a good update at all. You cannot set a target temperature for the probes.

Update not good

Was a good app, but the latest upgrade is a major step backwards. Things are harder to find, saving cooks and reviewing them harder, and now it takes time to find my grill, which was never an issue. Not sure why companies think they need to totally change an app that works. Rather have the old app.

Worse than useless

This version removes quite a few useful features, including the ability to graph your temps. And the features it does have, don’t work! Literally not a single one. Change grill temp? Changes back. Set an alert? It turns off. Name your grill? It resets. I tried much troubleshooting, latest firmware, etc. No dice. This will absolutely prevent me from buying another RecTeq.

Probe temperature settings not working.

Last app worked better.

Well you made and update to the app and added the Stag

Now the app just shows offline all the time. Come on IT guys get it together!

Not finding grill

Bad update. Fix this thing.

New update sucks

New update is awful. It won’t let me set temperatures to update me on the probes and resets every time I open it. Wish I never updated.

App Issues Recently

The app has always been a solid performer, but…

In version 4.0.2 (build 1921), probe temperature notifications are broken. After entering a target temperature and enabling notifications, the switch immediately turns itself off and the temperature set point is cleared. This makes probe temperature alerts unusable. Other users have reported the same issue. Please prioritize fixing this fundamental feature.

Mid

Alarm and notifications for thermometer never seem to work and you can’t give the app its own notification sound which is terrible cause when it does work it is just a short quite notification. I want my phone to be loud and not shut up until I turn off the alarm if my meat is done or my fire goes out

Gone seriously down hill

Can’t buy repair parts, just new grills. Time to find a new rightful owner of the crown.

New Update Problems

Previously the app worked well with both of my grills. After this latest update, edits to the probe names don’t work and setting temperature notifications does not work. It lets me set a temp notification but then it turns it back off after a few seconds. I have deleted and reloaded the app as well as doing a hard reboot on my iPhone 18. The temp probes and the grill display accurate temperatures on the app.

Bugged

Please fix the cooking suggestions tab. It’s covered by a banner that wants me to turn my grill off…

Frustratingly Functional

This app is buggy and barely functional. It works great for setting the temperature for the smoker, but that’s it. Attempting to save a temp chart for a current cook is an exercise in futility.

Notifications broken

The grill/probe temp chart is hidden behind several taps even though the current cook chart is something you want to watch on every cook.

The probe temp notification system has no cool down whatsoever so it just repeatedly spams you. I have two probes one of which is defective/noisy. This app sends hundreds of notifications from that probe. Deleting the notification set point for that probe has no effect.

4.01 still buggy

Otherwise a good app but setting the temperature for the probes does nothing. It still alerts me every time something hits 140 regardless of what the probe is set at. 140 was the last setting I had before the 4.0 update. Now it’s stuck. One of the best features of the grill and app totally busted.

No workie

The new layout is fine. App will not save my probes names or temps for notification. It’s pretty much useless now. Fix it recteq!

Notifications don’t work

Turn on notification, set temp, notification turns off…. Can’t get notification button to stay active.

Alerts don’t work

I’ve been using the app for 3+ years. Through all the updates and even a new phone, the temperature alerts have never worked. In the app’s current version (today is 10/2026), if I set the target temperature for either one of the probes and turn on notifications in the app, the slider moves back to the off position by itself after a few seconds and also resets my target temperature to zero, which is doubly frustrating. I have checked the settings on my fun and searched for troubleshooting tips but nothing works.

App is getting worse

I can no longer set the temp notification. It disables after a few seconds. I love my grill but it’s getting frustrating. When you click app support it takes you to product support. They need to work on the app. I have a 700

App

Old version of app worked great. New version will not connect to my not even two year old Patio Legend. Support is worthless and can’t resolve problem.
