You could avoid paying extra for the “smart” smoker because the app is ridiculous. I do wish they would make a new version of his app. It keeps crashing, is a bit complicated to use, and is very temperamental.

I saw many complain that they can't use the app to control the device. This is not true for timing and temperature. There is aspects you can control. The trick is to switch on the box and ensure nothing is on. Then you can use the app. Otherwise the functions will be grayed out.

This app looks, feels, and operates like a science fair project done by junior high school students who belong to the computer club. Clumsy and awkward to use. I can spit further than the bluetooth range. I keep having to reset everything when I want to do something simple like adjust the cook temp or smoke time. If you had the misfortune to buy a Bradley you’re stuck with this third rate app.

When I first started using the App, it was much more functional until an update a year ago. Tried to smoke a turkey and had to finish in the oven because once a message pops up with a warning it doesn’t resume unless you power cycle. Hope they fix it... my old Bradley was 10x better.
