### 2/5 — App has degraded

*2026-08-27, version 3.24.0*

Many buttons on timer do not appear at all.

### 4/5 — Temperature level

*2026-08-25, version 3.24.0*

Doesn’t hold at set temp, usually goes 5-10 above

### 4/5 — No Print Button

*2026-08-23, version 3.24.0*

We really enjoy the Traeger App, though it would be nice if there was a print button so you could easily print the recipes.

### 5/5 — Love the traeger

*2026-08-22, version 3.24.0*

We don’t even cook with gas anymore.  The smoke flavor is da bomb.  And it is very difficult to overcook your proteins; unlike a gas grill.

### 5/5 — Best thing ever

*2026-08-21, version 3.24.0*

Will never touch a BBQ again..

### 5/5 — Best purchase ever

*2026-08-21, version 3.24.0*

I will keep it simple.  I am learning all the time, and I love this grill!!

### 5/5 — Bi weekly smoker

*2026-08-21, version 3.24.0*

I love my newTraeger , I’m blessed to be able to grow and raise my own pork and beef . My beef and pork is the best in the Midwest. The Traeger  highlights the flavor that is already there.

### 5/5 — Learning to Grill

*2026-08-20, version 3.23.0*

I could never get grilling down. But with this grill I am just about perfect!!

### 5/5 — Gen 2 Ironwood

*2026-08-19, version 3.23.0*

I am extremely pleased with the way the new generation of the Ironwood, produces smoke! I get a great smoke and flavor profile, no matter what temperature that I am at. It reminds me of how the Traeger grills used to smoke when they were first invented, and I had a Traeger back then too!

### 5/5 — Lovely

*2026-08-19, version 3.23.0*

App makes it easy to set and forget. Great recipes. Won’t get the taste of a true smoker unless you add a smoke tube. I like using it as a wood fired oven.

### 5/5 — Timberland 1300 Best Ever

*2026-08-19, version 3.23.0*

Had this grill for 6 years, made a few upgrades, and changed out the drip pan style. Holds temperature well.

### 5/5 — Great grill!

*2026-08-19, version 3.23.0*

I’m not even a big-time griller, but I can still tell the difference between a bad grill and a great grill and this is a great grill. It controls the temperature within 5°. Can get down as low as 180 and I love the Wi-Fi connection to my cell phone so that I can control functions of the grill from my phone. The only whistle that I would add to the app is a notification that I forgot to shut down the grill at some point in time.

### 5/5 — Pork Tenderloin

*2026-08-18, version 3.23.0*

What a great grill to cook on. Amazing and tasty food every time.

### 5/5 — Consistency

*2026-08-18, version 3.23.0*

I’ve found the smoker to be incredibly consistent. The food coming off is evenly cooked and delicious every time. I trust the probes and have never been let down   Really easy and so good !

### 5/5 — Tech support

*2026-08-17, version 3.23.0*

Had a really pleasant conversation with their CS team today, they really stand behind their product! Took care of it the old fashioned way…with a video call and the customer is always right mentality, refreshing!

### 5/5 — Best smoker

*2026-08-17, version 3.23.0*

Traeger makes smoking your favorite dish easy with recommended recipes and the Wi-Fi. Bluetooth connection makes every dish perfect to your own liking.

### 5/5 — Grilling is fun again!

*2026-08-16, version 3.23.0*

The grill makes cooking so 
much easier, it integrates with your phone! Makes cooking simple and fun. Contemplated buying it for 2 years, very happy with the Traeger 780. Can’t imagine grilling any other way!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — The Traeger App Has Issues

*2026-08-28, version 3.24.0*

The app loses data when you move to the screen with the temperature and probe temperature. The info is non existent on that screen.

### 1/5 — Keeps not keeping temp

*2026-08-24, version 3.24.0*

Grill will work for a few cooks and then it will start and say low temp.  Happens over and over

### 1/5 — Won’t pair with my grill

*2026-08-18, version 3.23.0*

I’ve spent the last 30 minutes trying to get the app to re-add my grill. I had to add it again because today when I opened up the app, even though the grill said it was online, the app said it was offline. Now twice in a row I’ve went through the connection process. It said it was connected. Gave me the green check and yet after the green check disappeared it was on the page saying add a grill still. Did that twice in a row got an error on the page where I needed to enter a name for it despite me picking from their suggested names.

### 1/5 — Ironwood

*2026-08-13, version 3.23.0*

I purchased a new Traeger Ironwood. It worked for six months. It died on Super Bowl Sunday, right in the middle of my brisket. I understand things can break, but I’ve been working with Traeger on trying to get the issue resolved. I have replaced every part on this grill. It is still currently not working eight months later. At what point is Traeger going to own up and just send me a new grill?

### 1/5 — Apparently my IPhone X is not good for this grill all

*2026-08-11, version 3.3.1*

My iPhone X cannot use the app. I bought the grill to use with my phone only to learn that I am not able to use the phone feature because my $1000 phone is not good enough for this $700 grill!! Rip off.

### 1/5 — Firepot Flames

*2026-08-07, version 3.23.0*

Temperamental. Not worth the $1500.

### 1/5 — Review

*2026-08-06, version 3.21.0*

When my Traeger runs its course I’ll go back to a gas grill! Not worth the investment by a long shot!

### 1/5 — Timer

*2026-08-02, version 3.21.0*

The timer doesn’t work on the app it doesn’t sync up with the pit.

### 1/5 — Runs away with itself temperature is non-consistent

*2026-07-23, version 3.21.0*

It just runs till it hits 500 till I open the app and then it will try to control the temp

### 1/5 — Nothing Special

*2026-07-20, version 3.21.0*

I want to love the app but it is getting less and less useful. The new update with live activities is not great. Most of the time the temp it displays is off and requires me to open the app anyway. Sad to see an app that was so great become something that doesn’t work.

### 5/5 — Traeger is life

*2026-08-28, version 3.24.0*

My OG Timeline is my best friend! Thank you Traeger

### 5/5 — The best investment for grills

*2026-08-27, version 3.24.0*

It’s simple, they work great and  easy to maintain. I love the super smoke option and the Wi-Fi available on my device.   It’s almost like set it and forget it depending on what you’re cooking.   When I initially got it, I cooked on it for about two months straight. Almost every day.

### 5/5 — An Extension of the Kitchen

*2026-08-27, version 3.24.0*

Great app. With access to recipes, reviews, and remote access it has become an indispensable tool in my kitchen.

### 5/5 — Outstanding

*2026-08-25, version 3.24.0*

This smoker is absolutely amazing.  Customer service was terrific.  They spent 90 minutes on the phone with me making sure an error didn’t repeat.  Couldn’t recommend them enough.  Well done  Traeger.

### 5/5 — Best in all categories

*2026-08-25, version 3.24.0*

Love my pellet grills have 2. I had my first one quit after 1 yr. Customer service no problem helped out and got me a new controller and pellet box only thing not replaced was the barrel. No questions asked. 
Best customer service ever

### 5/5 — Cook Master Ron

*2026-08-24, version 3.24.0*

This is by far the best grill that I’ve ever owned in my 75 years! Cooks perfect, great flavors and the meats all come out juicy and tender.

### 5/5 — Still goin

*2026-08-24, version 3.24.0*

Had my ironwood for 5 years now. Still cooks like the day I put it together. Well done Treager 👍

### 5/5 — Traeger

*2026-08-23, version 3.24.0*

It’s a Traeger what else need to be said?

### 5/5 — Most consistent Pellet Grill

*2026-08-23, version 3.24.0*

This grill is highly effective with smoking and grilling anything. You pay more for top quality. No need to say more!

### 5/5 — Smoked Turkey

*2026-08-23, version 3.24.0*

The smoker app works great.  Makes smoking fun and easy.
