Ratings and reviews

doesn't always work, has connectivity issues with the kiln, doesn't track as much useful info as it could when it works. I appreciate when it does work that I don't have to run out to check kiln temps and I get errors on my phone. but when it's not connecting it's a complete waste. And before the company or anyone else comes for me, yes I always troubleshoot to see if it's my internet, router, or anything on my end. My husband is a professional in the field of fiber internet.

The app is decent at monitoring your kiln. I have two suggestions or requests that would make it more functional for me. Add the ability to send push notifications at each step in the firing schedule and add the ability to design the firing schedule in the app and push it to the kiln. My fat fingers have a hard time with the small touchscreen.

Such a disappointment. I just spent over 300 to replace on a new controlled, with wifi capability, and they want me to pay to subscribe to access the functionality of the controlled on the phone. I am not subscribing to a product I already bought, to use functionality that is built in. Super disappointing. Won't buy another controller from them for this reason alone. This functionality should be included. And at one point I believe it was, but they wanted to milk their constomers. Boooo

What’s new

The graph on the KilnAid program tab now supports partial firings, or firings that start outside of the Ramp 1 section.
