### 2/5 — Nice when it works

*2026-07-27, version 1.1.123*

It take far too many attempts to make the thermometer connect. The app is absolute garbage and lacks any ability to do anything if it won't connect. One of the worst UI's to try and navigate. Terrible purchase.

### 1/5 — I hope you don’t want to just know the temp.

*2026-01-27, version 1.1.118*

I suppose there are some people that this app is perfect for. People who aren’t actually interested in grabbing their thermometer and just using it. If you want that you’re SOL. However if you’re more into picking about 75 settings, seeing 45 warnings, and having to use an account just to tell what temp your meat is…THIS IS THE APP FOR YOU! I’m not sure you could take something this simple and make it more convoluted.

### 5/5 — Teach a Man to Fish

*2025-12-07, version 1.1.115*

Great performance and reliable!

### 1/5 — 👎

*2025-11-28, version 1.1.114*

no Polish menu, still a lot of errors, the device is nice but it makes you dizzy during the first configuration and multiple unsuccessful updates of the thermometers, I bought 4 pieces and I don't even want to use them because of these errors, I went back to the old, working thermometer from Napoleon.

### 1/5 — Avoid the Product

*2025-10-25, version 1.1.112*

This app constantly pummels you. I just want to use the stick when cooking . Not sign up or get spammed. Threw item
In trash. Deleting app.
Stay away from

### 2/5 — No apparent phone number and support button does not work for me

*2025-07-16, version 1.1.108*

I could not find a phone number to go with this product anymore online, in the app, or after hitting the support button. Also, I could not get the Port information to show up after trying to use the support button. I have some questions I would like to ask before buying this product. As I mentioned in a previous review, I do not like to get products and then immediately have to return them. Also, how am I going to troubleshoot what is going on during a cook without a phone number I can use? This does not demonstrate a well-thought-out support system. In fact, demonstrates just the opposite.

### 3/5 — App needs accessibility improvements for blind individuals using screen readers

*2025-07-09, version 1.1.107*

I just purchased my meat stick today from Amazon. The app is easy to set up, but looking at it to cook with, many buttons are unlabeled, so you don't know what you're pressing if you use a screen reader such as VoiceOver on iOS. Therefore, I don't know how easy this app is going to be for blind people to use it. Would appreciate some fixes from the debs thank you so much

### 1/5 — Needs way to much info

*2025-07-07, version 1.1.107*

Why does my meat thermometer need my location?  This thing requests way too much data and the setup is annoying.

### 2/5 — Not great right now

*2025-05-03, version 1.1.102*

The stick aside, the app is awful. It’s schizophrenic, and invasive and has several problems that I will list for the developers: 

First, why even allow us to use it without signing in, if you’re going to pop up the sign in window on every single action. Also, I tried both the Google and Apple OpenID options, and neither worked after several attempts. Finally had to just email login. 

The alerts and pop ups are insane. If one pops up then 15 more will as well all saying the same thing. It’s like a 90s spam virus. One is enough. 

The temperature display bounces back and forth from the actual temperature and like ambient temperature. It hurts my head. Either display both side-by-side or pick one. I hate having to wait and catch it at the exact moment it takes the measurement. 

Smaller things: why can’t I rename the stick, the Bluetooth/wifi stuff with the extender is glitchy, the repeated firmware updates are excessive, the UI in general is too much, and the tutorial is just annoying not helpful. 

Simplify and improve the app or just ship a small device that displays what it transmits instead.

### 1/5 — Terrible Product

*2025-03-18, version 1.1.099*

I ordered my meat stick on Amazon. I barely had a chance to use it before it failed. The warranty expires after 30 days! The technical support has had me run multiple test in an effort to prove their product actually works. No longer worth the effort to justify this product and complete lack of service after just 30 days. Too bad because it looked like a good product.
