Grill Right 4+

The thermometer and screen readout were great. Did a whole pig, using the dual probes (one in the pig, the other for air temp). But as great as that (and the pig) was, the app is great for all of 10 seconds until it apparently temporarily loses Bluetooth connectivity. Afterward, it doesn't tell you it lost connectivity. But if you look at the actual thermometer's screen it starts showing different temps then on the app. It's like the app stalls out and just continues to show the last temperature it registered at before losing connectivity. So don't trust the app at all, particularly for those expensive cuts of meat (which is the exact reason we use high-tech remote thermometers!). They really need to fix this, and asap. Highly disappointing.

I bought one of the Oregon Scientific thermometers on sale, figuring I'd give it a spin and see if it's any better than my old RF grill thermometer set. I wish I hadn't bothered.

The thermometer itself is fine, but the app is so bad that it's useless for tracking temperatures from a distance. The app constantly loses connection and does not easily pick it back up. If you plan on buying one of these thermometers, be ready to use it as a standalone unit, because the phone app is completely unreliable.

-needs to tell the user Bluetooth connection is lost. You'll know if the temp doesn't change between times you check, but there's no indication otherwise.
-the controls aren't very intuitive. I've got to get the instructions out if I don't use it for a few weeks.
-the touch sensitive face is too sensitive. You can't even hold it along the sides without changing your settings.
-can't shut the freaking beep off!
-no alerts to the phone. If you're not watching, you can blow though your ending temperature. There's a beep on the device at the grill, but why have Bluetooth connection if you have to stay at the grill?
The unit is functional and Bluetooth range is several yards and even across two floors of my house, but I wish it were better for the price.
