### 1/5 — Never works

*2023-11-18, version 3.1.26*

Brought a wifi panel for the grill that never works the main app won’t connect and this app hardly works with the grill 👎🏻

### 1/5 — The grill not shown on APP

*2023-03-08*

I have reinstalled the app and tried to connect with my grill, followed 6 steps of connecting to the app, it shows connected to the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi on the way, but in the end i can’t find my grill, i have repeatedly added my grill but nothing changed….

### 2/5 — Needs some work

*2023-01-24, version 3.1.26*

I love Louisiana Grills and their smokers are incredible. The app looks polished but lacks functionality. Alerts/push notifications don’t work to let you know when the meat prob has reached its desired temp meaning I have to constantly check the app to see the temp the meat. It would be nice to be able to remotely start the grill from a local wifi connection the way I can on my GMG wifi pellet smoker when the power button is toggled on. The initial pop up app on the start up screen needs to be deleted. Being able to set various stages of temps for when the meat hits a certain temp would be nice. For example, smoke at 180 F until meat reaches 165 F then have the grill heat up to 225 F until final meat temp is reached. Estimate time to finish cooking would be cool and a stopwatch feature that keeps track of how long your current cook has been going for would also be a nice touch. There is great potential for this app if you are able to add some standard features that other apps currently provide. All suggestions I provided are current options on my GMG grill. Thank you for being open to feedback to improve your product. Please let me know if you have any questions as I’m happy to help.

### 5/5 — Log out log in issue with App

*2023-01-05, version 3.1.25*

Had not used my smoke it app in a good while and the app had been updated. Because of the update it would not let me sign in or out. Called the support number and got connected with Danny in less then 5 minutes. After discussing the issue we walked through the steps of getting my app up and running.  The issue was over in less than 10 mins and Danny was extremely helpful. This review is more about the customer experience with Danny’s assist. Thank you!

### 2/5 — Vanishing Account

*2022-12-28, version 3.1.25*

I’ve had this app for over a year. Initially my issue was it never had a real-time update. So it was practically useless. Second issue I had was it always disconnected from the grill, so I always had to set it up again from scratch. I stopped using it for a couple months. After signing in I noticed it updated and real time adjusting wasn’t an issue, app worked great. All of a sudden, I’m using the app, and I was signed out unexpectedly. I try to sign in and received a incorrect password kickback. However, as I’m typing this, I’m receiving updates from the grill about the set temps. I sent a reset password request and it kicked backed with no account with that email. Frustrated I gotta do this while setup again.

### 5/5 — Customer Support

*2022-12-27, version 3.1.25*

With the new update I had to reconnect to my grill. Apparently sometimes they grow distant as they mature and age and become rebellious. In my disarray and hunger pains, Danny from customer service helped walk me through the process and got me reconnected to it before making another awkwardly quiet meal at the dinner table. I also couldn’t even fathom the thought of having to physically watch my food cook or hope that I would be responsible enough that it was cooking altogether. This app allows me to avoid such daunting responsibility. I can now rest easy while I lazily watch my food cook from my app which allows me to listen to Uncle Fred’s fish story for the third time this month. Thank you Danny from Customer Support, not all hero’s wear capes, some wear khakis.

### 5/5 — Christmas Gift

*2022-12-26, version 3.1.25*

I got the Pro Series 850 for XMas this year (2022). Assembly was easy just horrible directions and short 1 washer. 
Follow on; I downloaded the Smoke IT app from the Apple Store. I kept try to create an account but nothing happened. I called the help number provided and Danny was very knowledgeable and courteous. He explained there was an update and depending on the phone it had to be done one way or another. I have an iPhone so he said you have to create using the Apple link. I selected it and it brought me to my sign in and instantly done. Danny didn’t stop there though he said let me help you get it connected to the grill. The app was very user friendly but it’s nice to have someone whose walked through it a time or two to assist. It really sped up the process on a unit I had never worked with. With Danny’s help I was all set in literally less than 5 minutes. This old Marine is looking forward now to some tasty BBQ soon. Thanks Danny!!!

### 2/5 — The app is no frills but works. Sometimes.

*2022-12-25, version 3.1.24*

The Smoke It app is convenient for monitoring and controlling your smoker from inside the house.  Push notifications tell you when the grill has reached desired temp and you can remotely raise and lower temp but WiFi or Bluetooth. The negative is that to use the app you have to connect to a Pit Boss website first, before you can connect to your grill. As I discovered on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day in subzero temps, the Pit Boss website goes down.  Thankfully I have a a reliable ThermoPro thermometer to monitor temp. There is no reason for this app to go to an outside website before you can connect to your own smoker.  Dumb!  If the idea of an app is important to you, you may want to consider a Traeger.

### 1/5 — Updated and can’t login anymore

*2022-12-24, version 3.1.24*

Was working great and had no issues getting setup. Installed the most recent update and now can no longer login. So can’t connect to the smoker anymore. Big disappointment

### 1/5 — Worthless

*2022-12-24, version 3.1.24*

I’ve had nothing but issues with this app since I bought my Pit Boss (btw love the smoker). It displays the wrong temperature, doesn’t change the temperature half the time I tell it to, gives me random notifications when I don’t even have the smoker on and now today I’m smoking a turkey for Christmas dinner and it won’t login!? Says my email/account doesn’t exist!? So I tried to create a new account and it won’t even do that just stays on the signup screen when I click to creat the account. So I last tried to reset my password and it again says the email doesn’t exist. 

I can deal with issues in unimportant times, but when it’s Christmas dinner for 20+ people and I now half to walk outside every 15 minutes to check the smoker in 15 degree temperatures it makes my day so awesome. Fix your d@mn app!
