This app is so superior to the native Ember Mug app. It opens quickly, doesn’t log out out every few days, and just runs faster. It is EASY to use (which is really all you want from an app that controls your coffee mug temperature).There are some cool features that are locked behind a paywall (which I don’t pay for). Those would be neat but are definitely not necessary. The free functionality alone is worth it.Do not use the regular Ember Mug app. This is better!

I love the Ember mug, but the regular ember app has become borderline unusable bloatware. This third-party app is focused on just one thing: making the mug work, and doing it incredibly well. Everyone with an Ember mug should use this app. The extra features are also worth the inexpensive subscription, IMO — the live activity monitor integrates well with Apple Watches, largely replacing a feature that Ember killed on their own app a year ago.

Holy cow, it's amazing what someone who actually cares about the product can do. This app is miles better than Ember’s — I deleted that one. The $4/year is easily worth it for the Live Activity alone. I’ve also had zero re-pairing issues with multiple mugs, which was a weekly headache with Ember. My only nitpick is the app icon; I’d love a cleaner or customizable option. Overall, great app.

This is THE must-have app for Ember Mug. I love how this app uses Live Activities with Dynamic Island, the lock screen, and Apple Watch Smart Stack. The mug info even shows up on my Mac as a little coffee cup on my menu bar. And what really stands out is how well this app stays reliably in constant contact with my Ember mug.
