Ratings and reviews

This app gets less reliable with each new release. Constantly losing connection, constantly hanging. I have to keep force-closing because they don't know how to retry a dropped network connection. Even worse, it doesn't work at all on my tablet, just gets permanently stuck on "detecting device". It's bad enough I no longer recommend the product.

Inexcusably awful. A while ago, you had the app where not all of the information would fit on the screen at one time. That was fixed. Now on Thanksgiving, the app won't update regularly. It will lose the connection to the device often. Luckily the controller still works on its own. The only way to get it to connect again is to do a force stop and then open the app again. This is all so inconvenient. You can do better.

Everything worked flawlessly for years, then an app update made it almost worthless. It constantly freezes, and wont reload unless you force close it and reopen it, which you have to do EVERY TIME you want to check temperatures. My actual device continues to keep temps independently locally, but thats not helpful when whole point of spending extra money for a cloud based controller is for overnight cooks, temperature alarms, etc, which are all now broken.
