Ratings and reviews

Worked great for two years. Now it drops the wifi continuously. You have to reopen the app to make it reconnect to the probes. The ability to set an alarm and have it alert you is lost. That's the whole point of the product. Also, one of the two probes no longer functions. This is pretty much junk.

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.

This app is horribly inconsistent since the update. It has always been WAY off.... like, 50-100F off (doesn't need cleaning, as it's reading HIGH). I have adjusted my cook for this, but since the update, it's even worse. Many times, the fan won't even come one when it needs to (when the commanded temp is 200 more than it reports). You need to unplug (reboot) for it to come on
