BBQ Go

I've used this for a handful of cooks and over all it works great but the app has issues. There is no option to alter temp alarms with our clearing all the temp data. The app will also randomly wipe the temp data clean if it glitches which is a couple times over the course of an 8 hour cook. The unit should just record data nonstop and let the user clear as they please. Also, an alarm will keep alarming even after the acknowledge. This is a problem if you set an alarm to know when a mid point temp is reached beavuse you have to deactivate the alarm and clear your temp history or keep acknowledging the alarm until you are done. Again, a poorly thought out app with limited use.

I have enjoyed your product since I received it 2 weeks ago, and I have cooked 5 times using it. However, everytime, the BBQ GO (V 1.7.9) application is failing on my iPhone. (I have iPhoneX, iOS 12.1.2) It works for a few hours, but when I move between apps on my phone, the BBQ GO app freezes-up and reboots. Then all my previous temp data is erased! This is a problem for me since when cooking a beef brisket, I am making decisions about the temperature performance over-time to decide when in “the stall” and when to wrap my brisket for finishing. I like the convenience of this product, but if you depend on the app for performing the products key functions, then the app needs to be more stable to deserve any better rating than 1-star. Other comments: POSITIVES: Battery life was great. Started at 76% charge and finished at 50% after a 12hr cook! I like the red digital LED display. Easy to read. NEGATIVES Alarm needs to change. We need the following changes: 1. Should be able to mute the alarm on the main unit. (I can set my phone to vibrate, but the alarm outside still sounds—- not good for a 5am cook and waking up my neighbors and family!) 2. We should be able to choose a pleasant iPhone alarm sound, instead we are forced to only hear your loud beeping -it sounds like a smoke detector! (And I can’t choose any other options on my phone besides vibrate. )

I would give the app and the device 5 stars because they work very well... perfect cooking every time. BUT when the temperature set alarm goes off it sounds like my smoke detector in the house! And, when you acknowledge the alarm it’s like a snooze and goes off again and again... very annoying!! Why can’t I select a more desirable tone from my phone? Why can’t I just turn the alarm off once?!?!

This works more like and instant read thermometer. I’ve been using this for several months, coming over from a Weber iGrill. The Weber app stored data to see the overall cook. The alarm would only go when it was set. Did what I wanted it to. I “upgraded” to the Inkbird bc I wanted the 4 probes and was hoping for similar, if not better app options. I also got my neighbor one thinking it would be great. The app leaves you wanting more. App data clears out so I can only see 30 minutes of cook graph, the alarms continuously go off even after you clear them. The app needs to store data to see the whole cook. If I’m cooking a brisket, what’s 30 minutes? If not upgrades, I’ll probably go back to my single iGrill or upgrade to something better.

Very happy with this app and the hardware that it works with. Bluetooth communications are both directions. Which opens up some interesting stuff. Graphing is also nice, range or peak monitoring is great for smoking. Show all graphs on 1 screen instead of separate. Also add setting to control beeping on remote thermometer. That beep is annoying! Keep up the good work you inkbird.
