No longer able to use thermometer after update
I love this thermometer but after the recent app update (or maybe iOS update) it will no longer connect to either of my two thermometers meaning I can no longer set the alarm temp. Too bad, I guess it it time for an upgrade.
Good
Overall a decent app.
Two problems. Graph resets when phone loses connection to the unit. That’s super frustrating.
No applewatch app which is totally ridiculous in 2024.

Great device and solid iPhone app
If you are serious about cooking your meat or any food to exact temperature - this is it. I own wireless and wired and handheld digital probes and whenever I need a reliable performance - this is my go to.
Would love to have the Apple Watch app for this! Time to put this tech on my wrist.

Drains battery all day long
Check your battery activity. This app drains it all day under no usage at all!
Garbage app
It’s ok for l reading the current temperature. If you’re trying to track a long bbq or smoke it’s totally worthless. It’ll lose connection every few hours and completely resets the temperature tracking. The plots themselves are complete garbage, they don’t scale right and you can’t adjust them in any way. Even the presentation is barely readable. I don’t get it, an off the shelf open source plot library would do an infinitely better job. It feels like some kid just slapped a school assignment together at the last minute to try to get some credit.

App is better than the probes
The app does pretty much everything you need it to. The communication with the base unit is spot on. My only real complaint is that the probes tend to fail, but that, of course, has nothing to do with the app.
You know what would be great? A watch app. Simple thing that shows the temperature and maybe has a button to silence alarms.

Disappointing App
Despite producing a quality thermometer, the app is truly terrible. It crashes frequently, which makes the duration temperature charts, temperature threshold settings, and alarms pointless as it resets every time the app closes. Worse of all it causes the transmitter to beep because it “losses” the connection.

Leaves a lot to be desired; developers uninterested in feedback
The app is OK, but there are many minor and incremental improvements that could be made if the developers were willing to listen to feedback from users. Unfortunately, that does not appear to be the case. As a starting point, the temperature graph is worthless.
New update
I’ve had this unit for a couple years now. It is work great and I use it every other week or so. About a week ago they must’ve been an automatic update that got put in. Now there’s a three screen information sheet on how to use the tool or the app. And on top of that, I lose my presets every time I lose connection with my device. This has been very frustrating as I have to reset my presets every single time I lose connection which is quite often as I wander through the house and then back outside to check the temperatures. I’m hoping they can fix us quickly.

Useless thermometer
Bought this blue tooth thermometer thinking it would be the last one I would need. Unfortunately it only worked for about eight or ten cooks and then the temp reading shot up to 574 degrees. Cleaned it and changed batteries with no change. Called customer service and emailed and never got to speak with anyone. Never received a call back or email. Would not recommend this to anyone.

Love the hardware; App not so much
Hardware is good. Probes are good. Love the silicon ends. Sending unit is good and the magnet works good. Bluetooth is strong.
App not as good. The alarm volume is crazy loud. Would be nice if there was a control for the volume. My electric smoker fluctuates about 20deg. Would be nice to be able to see the peak and valley temps. When you’re plugged in to port 6 but the other ports aren’t used why do I have to scroll through all the graphs. Sometimes it disconnects and you lose your graph. It would be cool to project the target temp time. I know this is complex but maybe use the last hours climb rate to forecast.
Would like to be able to adjust the target meat temp a few degrees wo losing the graph.
I’ll say this is way better than my other wireless probe but it could be so much better.

Great Thermo - gaps in the app!
Love the thermometer, but the app only graphs one probe’s temperature, and the history never goes back more than 30 minutes. The app is great for grilling, but get a different device if you want to use it for smoking.
Works but a few issues
First is range. If the smoker is outside you are inside and about 30-40 feet loses connection. Second is the app. After two hours it clears your data so you can’t see a beautiful chart for all your smoke/cook. Third after about a couple of years the probes started to fail. So it’s ok. Not great.
2 units
Is it possible to have one phone operate two different units? We have one in our trailer and one at home and can only operate it on one unit, the original one. How do I get it to operate the other unit?
Concerned about lack of updates
Not formatted for the X or XS. History is reset if connection is lost so my graphs disappear.
Connection to unit is a breeze however.

Great app.... could use a few more features
I gave this app 4 stars. Its a great app dont get me wrong, the one thing i wish it utilized was widgets on ios. Or even display temps on the lock screen when the phone shuts off so you dont have to open the phone and app every time.
I love this thing!
I’ve tried every meat thermometer and timer on the market ... but this Bluetooth meat thermometer beats them all.
It comes with 6 probes which can be set at their own temperature setting.
It has a strong magnet that attaches to any cold mettle of your BBQ, or stove. Long prob cords. A very well designed probe-cord cable wrap. All contained in a form padded hard protective case!
The LED lighted panel has large temp readings that you can set to F or C.
Very easy to link to your iPhone via the free app from the Apple store - which ads more features. Such as a list of all popular food with recommended temp settings that also allow you to edit if necessary.
And if the list does not have what you want.. you can add it.
Built in timer gives a loud sound on your iPhone when the set temp is reached. The timer can be set to alert you when it’s time for what else is needed you’re doing.
I can be watching the big game and still keep a remote eye on the ribs, steak, etc from the phone. Even monitor temp progress.
The ONLY recommendation I would have is a way to set Pre-temp on the monitor rather only from the phone.
Highly recommended for the Tim Allen More Power BBQ chef!

Good app with useful features
I used this app with my 6 probe solis today. The price was right on woot . Com $(40) so I purchased one. I was able to quickly learn the app and I got all 3 probes I needed set up, one for the inside temp and 2 meats. Range at my house was good, love the temp graphs and ability to name each probe. I like also the list view where I could see all 3 in one view. Having used it once so far I would say it’s still in need of a few good ideas like other reviewers mentioned. For the price it’s unbeatable but it’s not WiFi (Bluetooth only) so you can’t leave the house or get your phone out of range so keep that in mind. It does Alarm you if you do get out of range so that was nice.

Better than Igrill
I happy with it.
Initial review
I just got the temperature probes today and my initial review at time of unboxing is wow.Seems very sturdy, when probes plug in they seem very strong, the main unit has a good weight and feel to it and the app seems very user friendly.
