After a few test runs and in the middle of another I think it needs some polish. Running the cyberQ and am still relying on the stock web UI to keep it delicious. The ideas are in there, but I've found the app doesn't work all that well. Alerts don't alert, changes don't seem to propagate to the stock UI, chart stops charting, I can't add food to a started cook, etc etc etc.. . I'm cool with it though for the price and it's definitely on track for greatness, maintain your scope and keep at it.

Much easier than keeping track on paper. Even if you dont have wifi very easy to manually put in information. I like the notification feature. Highly recommend and the pro version worth the small price.

I thought this would be a good app to keep notes of my smoker runs, by making entries at the push of a button. Well, the buttons are pretty small, and if you push the wrong button, there's no way to erase the one entry. I asked for tech support, and they told me to click on the delete button, top right. Well that deleted ALL my data, and I lost my entire log. Thanks a lot! I paid for the full verison for the charting feature. Well, it doesn't let you export the graph. What's the point? $2 wasted.

The cook chart is impossible to read - text is WAY too small. Zooming in changes the scale of the graph but not the size of the text. Also, no way to export the chart or edit notes once entered. Overall, buttons are too small and interface is not intuitive. Finally, it doesn't send the initial temperature setting to my CyberQ. I figured that out the hard way when the BBQ Guru took my BGE to 350 (previous cook temp) instead of 235. When I realized what was happening, I changed the cook temp to 236, saved it, and then set it back to 235. That forced it to send the set temp to the CyberQ. Lesson learned.

Had this app installed for over 18 months hoping an update would address all the Stoker 2 Wifi connectivity issues. Whilst there have been a couple of updates, all problems persist. All the app can do is read the probe temperature... That's it. It can't make temp changes. Dev clearly has no plans to fix this (I emailed him back in the day). Just change the description to say it doesn't support the Stoker 2 Wifi... Because it doesn't.

This is a pretty nice app and it works very nicely with my BBQ Guru Wifi and Big Green Egg. My only major gripe is that the Over/Under Temp alerts fire constantly, so my phone will buzz constantly. This is good overnight if I'm sleeping, but annoying if I'm at work and it's 1 or 2 degrees over my alert temperature. Maybe we could have a few different alert profiles, a "WAKE ME FROM THE DEAD!" one to handle major alerts in the middle of the night, and a less frequent, "polite" alert profile to send infrequent reminders (once every 15 minutes?) for daytime where you might not need to actually take action, but do want to actively monitor? Anyways, overall I'm very happy. It makes grilling much more fun and super simple to do, I just want more control over how the alerts work.
