### 1/5 — What happened?

*2025-12-20, version 4.12*

Tappecue no longer connects to the app!

### 3/5 — History needs help

*2025-06-08, version 4.12*

Update 2025-06-08: Tappecue is going out of business, so it’s hard to know what will happen to this app or any of the data. 

What is the time and temp at any given point on the cook graphs? Very hard to read.

Sessionbook has wrong, same dates for all cooks on the summary page.

### 1/5 — Owner

*2025-01-02, version 4.12*

The wireless feature was a joke it will only read if your outside wouldn't connect inside the house and it wasn't 10' away.

### 1/5 — Very disappointed

*2024-05-27, version 4.12*

This app really has gone down hill. It is no longer reliable.  Wifi connection connects randomly.  I would not recommend it.

### 5/5 — Great tool.

*2024-03-26, version 4.12*

I love this tool. I use it when I am cooking bread on my grill. I not only know the temp inside but I know what temperature am I actually cooking at. A huge plus for grilling. 

No wire’s allows me to make rotisserie chickens, pork and lamb. It is accurate and helps me take my meat off at the right time. With this tool I never overcook my food.

### 5/5 — Use Airprobe for meat temperature in the Instant Pot pressure cooker

*2024-01-11, version 4.11*

I use the Airprobe to cook meat in my Instant Pot. The Airprobe, while it’s inside the pressure cooker, connects to the Tappecue App on my iPad. The app shows me the internal temperature of the meat and also the pressure cooker’s internal temperature. I can leave the iPad near the pressure cooker and use the Apple Watch or iPhone Tappecue Apps to see the temperatures, which are updated on the internet cloud in real time, where ever I go. When the meat reaches the correctly cooked temperature, I turn the pressure cooker off and do a natural or quick pressure release. No more trying to guess how long to cook meat in the Instant Pot. I now know exactly when it’s perfectly done.

### 3/5 — Great product, app could use a refresh.

*2023-08-27, version 4.7*

I love the product. Use it every time I cook on the smoker. Some suggestions for the developers:

1. Add Live Activities. Having this would greatly improve the experience. Glancing at the top of the phone, or at the Lock Screen to get a specific temp would be extremely helpful.

2. Modernization of the Graph and temperature UI. There are a ton of visually pleasing things that can be done to improve the graph page as well as the quick view page. Consider having the graph be much more modern and use native iOS components to dray said graphs. Lots of room for improvement here

3. I love the sounds but would be great to add a few more alert tones or even specify your own.

### 1/5 — Not worth the money

*2023-03-22, version 4.7*

Useless things don’t work. Up until 2 weeks ago only 2 of them ever worked out of 4. Lately only one works sometimes. Have had them for over a year. Poor investment. Should have bought the meaters. My son has them they work great

### 1/5 — Poor range. 5ft max!!

*2023-02-02, version 4.7*

Would not recommend

### 5/5 — I couldn’t be happier!!

*2022-05-04, version 4.6.1*

The Airprobe 2, is easy to use, convenient, functions flawlessly and has made my smoking/grilling even more fun than before.
Well made and charges quickly.
