Great concept, extremely poor implementation....
Bought this as I didn't want to have to carry around a dedicated display, instead I could use my phone and the app, or at least I though so, bluetooth disconnects if the app is not constantly active and phone not in sleep. Why on earth would you shut down the Bluetooth radio???????????????????????? do I need to add more question marks? if you want to cook something in 10 mins this is great but if you want to smoke something over several hours is just not usable! Again the concept is great but the implementation is terrible. Add to that the range is no where near what's stated, I'm sure there is some small print somewhere that states direct line of sight at 25oC with no wind and no other antenna etc in 250 miles etc. Reality is we (most of us) live in multiple story properties (houses and or apartments) with multiple other bluetooth items. Until they iron out the poor implementation and the poor range issues stick with what you already have! I am going to cancel my gym subscription as I get more than sufficient exercise walking back and forth to reactivate the bluetooth radio and hence visually check temp doing at the unit when doing a 10 hour smoke.
