Come on Skutt. This is one of the very few areas you can show some innovation in your otherwise static, very mature product line. This app is a basic readout of temperature, which isn’t even formatted for vertical orientation on a phone screen (you lose the first and last digit once the temp goes over 1000°) lol Perhaps look at the SensorPush app to see what can be done with a couple basic metrics to present data over time etc. Then allow control over the KTM from the app to at least shut the kiln off remotely. Not sure what the Engineers or Educational Support (YT tutorials etc) folks do to fill up their weeks over at Skutt.

Purchased the skutt kiln with this app specifically for remote monitoring. As a basic monitoring app the interface is beyond not user friendly. It’s as if someone decided, “let’s make an app that could be useful, but let’s make sure it’s not.” But at least I could check my kiln’s temp. Now after their ‘update’ I can’t even log in. Can’t update my password… so I’m sure the new interface is lovely and the app probably works perfectly… once you’re logged in (okay, doubtful). Of course calling skutt’s helpline is an exercise in wasting time because they ‘know it’s an issue’ but it’s the company that built the app that has to fix it so I should call them. Seriously? Hard no. That’s YOUR job Skutt tech support, et al.Oh and on top of paying about a grand extra for the kiln, skutt wants me to pay a monthly access fee for the full use of the app? Are you kidding me? What a joke. Highly DO NOT recommend this product or the app.

Connects to my kiln and allows me to monitor the status of the firing, stages and temp. I have read some of the reviews of this app, and am a bit disappointed in the pottery culture reviewing this app. Why not just go buy a mug instead of hand crafting it and cooking one in a kiln? Don’t get so spoiled by your phone that it makes you judge a corporation that is not a software company. They make kilns. They make great kilns, and this software is fantastic, as is the connectivity to the kiln. Take a moment while you sip your matcha from your hand made mug, and appreciate what it takes to operate a small, hyper-specific business serving makers. This app is a gift.

Currently, I only have the free version of this app. And I find it very easy to use. It’s helpful to see the basic information of what’s happening and mostly to just keep track of the temperature as I wait for it to cool. The historical data can be downloaded from Scuts dedicated page outside of this app if you’re only using the free version.If you’re only looking for the basic info: temp, fire time, speed, and cost, this is great. If you’re looking for more information overtime, you’ll need to purchase the full app.
