I used the new software on my son-in-laws Blaze (which is less than a year old) and it worked flawlessly. Very nice update. I have a Blaze which is several years old. It won't work with my Blaze like others on here. I think there are production differences. It connects (Bluetooth​ light turns solid), but software doesn't work. I emailed​ the developer and they said they are working on the issue. It's been 90 days with no email response or fix. I think that those of us with older units are SOL. Still using previous version (glad I had it backed up before updating). Customer Service leaves much to be desired.

Until you FIX the issues with this, it will never work... a waste of money. Mine DOESN'T WORK PERIOD!

Just got the Spark today and freezes on the first screen. I specifically wanted a bluetooth grill thermometer to replace my iGrill v1 which is broken. No point in keeping the Spark if the app doesn't work. Sending back.

So far it has turned itself off more times than I care to Remember and this is its first time out of the box. . I can't set the heat lower than the current probe temp also. This is such a shame looks like I got to go buy a more expensive bluetooth thermometer now. Or will another app work for this device? An updated has accured and it has improved. Not enough but improved none the less

The last version is broken. Freezes on the main screen. Time to switch to something that works.

This worked fine for years but the latest version gets to the first screen and sits there forever. Useless. Does nothing.

Your latest app is worse than your previous app. Didn't know that was possible. Just getting a phone connected to the device is a long, confusing process with no feedback.

New app freezes. Or will not connect. In any event totally useless now. CAPPEC needs to fix this ASAP.

I've owned this basically since they became available on amazon. It's pretty much never worked right. My steaks are set for 140 degrees and the current temp is 141 now. The alarm didn't go off like it should have and the app tells me 63 min till the meat is done. Nice one guys... you should probably just call it quits on this one. I know I am...

The software has never been great but it worked fair on my Galaxy S5 running lollipop. I never used any timers or graphs because I always ran into issues. Since marshmallow, the app does not work correctly. I can't set both probes temp setpoints and the app loses its BT connection constantly. I did revert all the way back to version 1.4.2 and it works, but I lost the Smoker temp option. UPDATE: 2 emails sent now, no response from the dev. EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED. I usually use it without the software now

The hardware is OK, works well, range is good. Had one probe fail (read 300+ degrees in air temp) but the customer service was fantastic and replaced the probes very quick. It is great value for the price on the hardware alone. The App is terrible. doesn't seem to keep connection over long periods of time. The time remaining function is not very good, seems to not work, setting alarms sometimes crashed the app, unable to choose type of food some times, it just doesn't set it. Pressing anywhere on the top or bottom of the screen go to choose type of meat, wish it would only actually do this when you hit the "Set" text. History seems to be a great idea, but it never seems to record anything, and since I can't keep it connected reliably it has no real purpose. The list goes on. I basically use the app now to check the done temp reference then remember what it is and then just use the temp readouts for the probes. I'm looking for another app that will detect the probes, anyone find anything?

If you go to set an alarm it shuts down. Develop the app and you will sell more units!

Unstable. Shuts down unexpectedly.blue tooth flakey Not intuitive. Too bad because the physical thermometer is pretty good. Come devs FIX IT!!!!!!!!

R70%

The problem I'm having with this app is that it won't stay running in the background of my phone. It works if I monitor it the whole time, but if my phone times out, I take a call or do anything else, the app closes and I have to start all over. It's quite frustrating. If that could be fixed, I'd use it all the time.

Spend your money on another brand. The thermometer unit is alright, but I am not rating it.. Whenever I try to "set " the doneness, as soon as I select pork the app shuts down. Total waste of my money.

K70%
by K####:

It works well if you are close to the base and don't use your phone for anything else. App does not save settings so the graphs and timers are basically useless unless you stand next to the smoker and watch the phone. I can use a corded thermometer for that!

The app works great. The Bluetooth on the product only works about 20 feet. Constantly disconnecting

App closes down when you get a call it does not retain your settings and timers. You have to reset it each time you go back into the app which is sad because it worked great until I got a call thought it might be my droid maxx tried on my wife's note 5 and my sons iPhone 6.

I think the app is working fine on both an s5 and note pro tablet. The limitations I've seen appear to be unit and not app related.

Selecting from already set up temperatures cause the unit to shot down.

The app shuts down all the time and isn't user friendly at all.

P70%
by P####:

I've used this for almost a year now and still waiting for Android Wear support. Also, why doesn't the app allow access to the info on the Desired Doness screen that lists the cooking temperatures for each type of meat if not connected (I sometimes use the unit disconnected from the phone but still would like to know the desired temp).

K70%
by K####:

If the app closes when selecting the smoker option clear the app data and that will fix it the issue. The problem with the new smoker option though is that it wont let you select a temperature above 200 degrees. I think if you were cold smoking that would be OK but every thing I smoke calls for a temp above 200. Hopefully the dev will fix this issue quickly.

App is pretty good. Wish it had the option to set one probe to ambient or grill temp mode instead of having to select a custom temp under a random meat. Also would like the ability to export graph/history via email so I can log my cooks to my computer and make notes. Also would be nice to have an alarm if app disconnects from unit. Had a cook almost ruined because app disconnected and I didn't notice grill getting too hot (using custom temp) would also be nice if ambient temp is added as a feature to have it track inside a range so you can set your cooker temp and get alerts if it is too hot or too cold (slow smoking at 225-250)

Everytime I turn on the unit to start cooking it never connects to my phone. I end up having to take the batteries out of the unit and re-pair it to my phone. This has happened to 3 phones as I have tried to get it to work on my old note 2, my wife's note 4 and now again on my new note edge. I love the tool, the choices of the meat options, but I get frustrated with connecting it that I almost let my food burn.

Smoking some ribs. Using device to monitor smoker temp. Would give 5 stars if the temp would read on the status bar so I can see temp on any screen. Seems to be forgetting what it's supposed to be doing. I keep having to reset the meat and temp. And when this happens, I loose the graph. It's like starting over. Very frustrating

Probe 2 kept loosing the configuration. I was smoking 2 pork shoulders. Every time I moved back into Bluetooth range I had to reset the probe 2 to the meat and temp setting.

On my second cook and I find the bluetooth setup much better than lugging around another wireless adapter I'm more apt to lose than my phone. Running a custom rom on LG G3 and have it primarily setup on custom rom Samsung Galaxy S3 w/ Andriod 4.3 Love not having to pair it, it just does the work for you. The range is just okay, but I do not blame the application for that as much as the hardware. I would recommend this to a friend without hesitation. Some things I would like to see in future builds. Keeping my custom temperature setting in memory and having a low temp alarm set point would be great so I don't have to keep checking up. Finally a widget just showing each probe would be awesome. Thanks for the great development!

I emailed the developer of this app and support on the website about the feature missing on my devices without response. Lack of response if the reason for the poor rating.

Developer responds quickly to support issues. Emailed about force closes issues Thanksgiving morning and new version released Thanksgiving evening. Can't ask for more than that.
