### 3/5 — Temp setting

*2026-08-16*

Guys, the reviews say it all, the biggest complaint is having to adjust the Temp Units (C vs F) every single time you turn it on.  Please fix this!

### 2/5 — Do not request to scan code

*2026-02-01*

After having this for 3 years Why are you asking to scan a code when we usually don’t have that code anymore, the app used to work without it, now it stopped

### 2/5 — Won't Retain Settings

*2026-01-04, version 8.4*

Since installing this app, I have had to pair and re-pair countless times. It seems if you don't use it VERY frequently, the settings are lost. I can see the device in my Bluetooth devices, but need to delete and repair those as well each time. The account login process is also buggy. Often I feel it's not worth the hassle and check the thermometer manually for my grill.

### 2/5 — Probes no longer connect to repeater/wont pair

*2025-12-22, version 8.3*

Same issue as previous user mentioned… developers solution QR doesn’t work either. Extremely fustrating!!

### 2/5 — Not working anymore

*2025-10-19, version 8.0*

It is asking a qr code which mine does not have

### 3/5 — Poor update

*2025-09-19, version 7.8*

Latest update very poor, lost all history and photos. Temp shows only in C now. 
Not an update at all, a step backwards.

### 3/5 — Update

*2025-09-14, version 7.8*

I have to say I was wrong about the QR code that I thought didn’t exist. It’s inside the battery cover. My unit works again now. It’s really handy I just wish it was built a little better.

### 3/5 — Used to work great, broke on iOS 26

*2025-09-12, version 7.8*

The app was paired and working fine, but has reset. I could add the base station it did not get past the “reset device first” pairing step. I had to fully delete the app and then factory reset the device and now it works again

### 3/5 — Please add a widget

*2025-01-25, version 7.2*

for iPhone.

### 1/5 — No qr code available

*2024-12-31, version 7.1*

Cannot open app. There is no qr code on the packaging. There is no manual.

### 1/5 — Won’t pair

*2024-12-06, version 7.0*

This app is the worst that I’ve ever used. I need to create an account, give them my email, agree to their terms and conditions, create a password and pair with the device. This is so that I can use a thermometer! Of course none of the previous mentioned steps have worked s
so far, but they do not have my email and are quite happy to spam me.

### 2/5 — Unreliable

*2024-11-28*

Sometimes works, sometimes doesn’t, when I first got this they asked me to send a review for 2 extra probes which they never sent. I have to re sign in every time I use it and most times it won’t let me sign in. Nice try, but nope

### 1/5 — DREADFUL app! Not even hobbyist level

*2024-08-09*

On top of the C to F issues other people have mentioned, the mere fact that you can’t set alarms on the ambient reading, make this app totally useless even for a hobbyist.

It would be one thing if the associated thermometer product it came with was half the price of competitors, you could say “well you get what you pay for.” But it’s not. It’s the same price, or MORE than established brands like ThermoWorks, Inkbird, Meater, and ThermoPro .

### 1/5 — Products does not work. Bluetooth won’t connect.

*2024-04-28*

Was working last night charged it overnight and the device no longer works. Have also tried android phone.

### 2/5 — Worked on and off

*2024-04-13, version 6.1*

Worked sometimes, most of the time it’s a pain, when it works it works well. Got new wifi and no longer works at all and now my QR code is gone it won’t work all together. Unless there’s a way to go around it I’ll be purchasing another temperature probe from another company.

### 1/5 — Login doesn’t work

*2023-11-24*

The whole point of buying this thermometer is to connect to my phone to watch the temperature via the app. The app does not allow you to create a login. DO NOT BUY

### 2/5 — Great app… when you can get it to work

*2023-09-28, version 5.2*

App paired and was working well. Then when I went to use it again I had to enter all my details again. It froze on the login screen saying I had to enter characters and numbers and symbols (which I had done). Even after reinstalling the app and changing passwords it will not go past the login page.
Very frustrating…

### 1/5 — Latest update broke pit temp

*2026-07-05*

This app was working fairly well for me, but the latest update has made it so that I can’t adjust the pit temperature from the app.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2026-03-15, version 8.8*

I have had this app for a while. Used to work OK (a bit unstable). 
However, was forced to upgrade today, and now it wants me to scan the QR code on the device. There is no QR code on the device, so the app will not progress beyond this screen and is quite useless.

### 1/5 — Does not support older devices

*2026-03-14, version 8.8*

”Matador Wireless Smart Thermometer - 2 probes” as sold by Bunnings is no longer supported and scanning the QR from the user manual gives ”unsupported device”

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time

*2026-01-05, version 8.4*

Doesn’t work - constantly drops connections and struggles to reconnect - extremely frustrating and ruins the cooking experience - better off with mechanical probes and temp sensors - save yourself the hassle

### 1/5 — Failed connection

*2025-12-23, version 8.3*

This worked well for a couple of years, after the update to the app it now fails to connect rendering the device useless.

### 1/5 — Fail

*2025-12-21, version 8.3*

Keep on failing.  Throw the product away

### 1/5 — Can't activate with needed code

*2025-11-25*

Can't get Ap to send me the necessarycode to use to activate the Ap. There is no customer support. A big waste of time and money!

### 1/5 — Can’t connect

*2025-09-22, version 7.8*

Used this app for so long and it was fantastic, until the update I have to scan a QR code which my device doesn’t have.

### 1/5 — Scan QR to activate - what QR code?

*2025-09-11, version 7.8*

Bought a matador BBQ monitor my bbq thermometer ages ago. With the new update I now need to re-pair the device only I no longer have the manual or QR code and cannot sync to the app. Not helpful!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t scan QR code in manual for Matador Bluetooth Smart Thermometer

*2025-05-16, version 7.4*

Just says unrecognised 🤷🏻‍♂️

### 5/5 — Works on new iPhone

*2025-07-29, version 7.7*

Lots of reviews here saying it doesn’t work.  however it seems to work completely fine for me and I’ve never had an issue pairing it. It will even pair without me requesting it sometimes when I just leave it on by accident. For its price it is very good.

### 5/5 — Works perfectly for me!

*2024-02-11, version 5.8*

I downloaded the app after buying the Matador kit from Bunnings. Works an absolute treat for me so I don’t know what those other muppets are talking about. Probably trying to run it on an iPhone 4. I’ve currently got a pork loin crackling away inside the Weber and loving the accessibility of this app!

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2023-11-04, version 5.4*

Works like clock work and never overcooks. An eta of finishing time would be a nice gimmick but otherwise, just works !

### 5/5 — Great app

*2023-09-19, version 5.1*

So many functions and settings to use and works really well

### 5/5 — Vraiment super!

*2023-07-31, version 4.9*

Thermomètre de précision, l’application est superbe on peut régler toutes les alertes à notre façon! On peut même noter nos commentaires personnel et y ajouter les photos de nos recettes! 
Merci pour cette super application!
Très facile d’utilisation bravo!!!

### 5/5 — Help!

*2023-04-28*

I lost my manual and there is no QR code on the device. I downloaded the ToGrill app and it will not complete without a QR code. How do I get the QR code. NEIHOU meat probe GT01

I found out this is the wrong app for the thermometer that I have. I downloaded the correct app and it is now working. Sorry for the confusion.

**Developer response:** hi there， could you please provide your email address so that I could send you a QR code.

### 5/5 — Excellent rapport qualité prix

*2023-02-18, version 3.9*

Très bonne précision

### 5/5 — Very awesome

*2022-12-21, version 3.6*

So Cool Tools Bluetooth 4.0 Low Energy device and enables the user to set precise temperature control to within 1 degree F

### 5/5 — Very true

*2022-12-21, version 3.6*

Love it  Smoker Wireless Connect is the ultimate tool for your smoking needs.

### 5/5 — Cow force than

*2022-12-21*

Digital thermometer with graphing function and 2 remote probes. Thermometer displays minimum and maximum temperature. Controls on my smoker are not close to accurate.
