The Weber Connect app is your secret ingredient to Smart Grilling! Weber Connect is the companion app to Weber smart grills and devices. When paired to a Weber Connect grill or device, the app becomes your sensor dashboard, remote control, and recipe book all in one! Track temperatures from anywhere The temperature of your grill is important. Weber Connect grills and devices can track your grill's temperature and alert you when it drops below your target temp due to a flameout or spikes because of a flareup. With the Weber Connect app you can follow its temperature and get alerts for important events. Even more important is the temperature of your food! A few degrees are all that stand between perfect and overdone. Weber Connect grills and devices let you track your food's internal temperature precisely with connected food probes and transmit them to your app. Watch the temp rise on the graph so you know when it's almost time to head back outside to take the steaks off, or set a target temp and get alerted when it's done no matter where you are. Adjust the grill without getting up from the couch Some Weber grills, like the SmokeFire, can have their cook temperature and mode changed by the app. That means you can turn the heat up, go into SmokeBoost mode, or shut down your grill without taking your eyes off the game. Never wonder what to make for dinner again The Weber Connect app has over 800 recipes built-in, with more being published every month. Every recipe has been crafted and tested by Weber Grillmasters, and many are fan favorites, so you know you can't go wrong with any of them! And almost half of our recipes are Smart Recipes, which walk you through, step-by-step, with short looping videos and clear instructions so you know when you're doing it right. Grilling has never been easier or more fun! The new Weber Connect 2.0 app has the important features of the original app: • Remote temperature monitoring • Temperature limit alerts • Temperature range alerts • Timers • Remote cooking control for grills that support it • Smart Recipes • Classic Recipes • How-To videos for Weber Connect grills & devices • Wi-Fi and Bluetooth LE connectivity Plus some new tricks: • Live graphs • Graph sharing • Graph data export • Grill naming • Recently-cooked recipes • Recipe bookmarks • iPad support • Improved accessibility • Dark mode

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: iVide at 5.0 against Weber Connect's 4.6. iVide also leads on iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.0). Weber Connect's advantage is ratings volume (3.4K vs 1) and review sentiment (32% vs 21%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

iVide holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Weber Connect has 3.4K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 21% of iVide's written reviews are positive against 32% of Weber Connect's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

iVide ships an update monthly, Weber Connect every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
