" ... But after smoking a few different meats, including a large turkey, I couldn't be happier with it. ... "
" ... Bring it inside when done grilling outside. ... I use inside to cook (any meat or poultry) in oven and monitor the holiday turkey for doneness. ... "
" ... Very useful for grilling and smoking. ... "
" ... Great for watching ambient temp and meat at the same time on long cooks. ... "
" ... It takes the guesswork out of knowing when your meat is done cooking. ... "
" ... Jumped in the shower and got out with about 5 minutes left on the cook as the graph predicted. ... "
" ... This is the best grilling thermometer I have come across. ... "
" ... Great probe for smoking meat . ... "

" ... I have used a thermometer for a long time for grill temp, and manually checked meat. ... "
" ... Love the link up to your phone to monitor the meat while away from the grill. ... "
" ... Recently bought a Weber Grill, and was debating buying the iGrill for it. ... "

" ... This is one of those products where the app is everything. ... I must say I had little faith in an app from an old company like Weber. ... "
" ... Has an readable LED for when u dont want to use the App . ... The app now is greatly improved and rarely disconnects . ... "
" ... Works great, just remember that it's the Webber app you need not the iDevices app anymore. ... "
" ... app is comprehensive and easy to navigate. ... "
" ... The app put it above others ... "
" ... Talks with an app on your iPhone. ... "
" ... The app is great and I want this product to work. ... "
" ... The free app is also VERY simple to use. ... The app and iGrill seem to connect better with the Apple. ... Poke the probe into the thickest part of whatever you're cooking, then open the app. ... The app even alerts you when you're within 10 degrees of being "done." ... "

" ... Once you download the app you can see everything. ... "
" ... The app w igrill 2 is by far best ! ... "
" ... Let me begin by saying that I never had the opportunity to use the old app so I can't compare it to the current version. ... Again, I've only used the current (as of this review) version of the app. ... There are many features that I think the app could use to make it much more tailored to each user's need. ... "
" ... The companion app is really handy and easy to use and has come a long way, but it still does NOT allow you to set one probe as ambient. ... "
" ... No issues with the app. ... "
" ... I’ve had no trouble with the probe unit communicating with my phone app. ... "
" ... This one, right out of the box connected to bluetooth on two android phones. ... "
" ... The iGrill 2 app is fantastic (I hear it used to suck, but Weber has made some improvements and I find it very simple to use). ... I like that you can set different parameters and the app will surface an alert/pop up on your phone for them. ... "

" ... This is my second one because the first got water inside and stopped working. ... "
" ... It’s fried after two uses. ... "
" ... It always had trouble staying connected the my phone and now, the jack for one of the probes stopped working. ... I tested with other probes and it’s the igrill itself that has stopped working. ... "
" ... Also after 3 weeks, the probes don’t read correctly anymore. ... "
" ... I should have went with a different brand and am now stuck with a worthless piece of crap ... "
" ... It just drops out randomly. ... "
" ... Six months (or more) ago, after an update, the app no longer worked. ... That was months ago and Weber had done NOTHING to fix it. ... "
" ... Seems to be the same disappointing issues shared by everyone who purchases this. ... "

" ... What is the point of a wireless thermometer if you can’t even connect from 20 feet away in the house. ... I even moved my grill right next to my house and it still loses connection from 15 feet away. ... "
" ... This happens even when I am just a few feet away. ... "
" ... Every time I walk in my house or away it alerts me that I am out of range. ... "
