TAP Kiln Control Mobile 4+

Better experience

Update:

After putting the kiln on its own dedicated wifi network, it’s been working flawlessly and I can’t complain. None of the past issues have come up again and using the app is now easy and makes this whole process so much better for me. As a first time kiln owner, I have nothing to compare it too, but I feel having the wifi capability is indispensable.

Waited 8 months for my pottery kiln. This app is nice, when it works. Often disconnects, says IP address on kiln is disconnected. Directions given for a restart are not clear enough. Had to figure it out on my own and even that didn’t fix the problem.

Loving the new version

I had used the old version and always hoped the app would get an update. Now I can see exactly where my kiln is during a firing and for how long without being in the studio. Yesterday I had three kilns running. One doing a full fuse, one doing a schedule I wrote for lace effects and one doing a drop. As you can imagine my studio gets a wee bit warm when all three are firing. At every hold for the drop out I received a alert on my phone. I was able check the progress without babysitting my kiln. I could see exactly the temp and how long it had been holding. So instead of sitting and watching for 6 hours, I went and checked the progress every hour and was able to stop the kiln exactly when the bowl touched the shelf. Today I am running just one kiln and every step the app is letting me know where the schedule is. Thanks for doing the updated version because I am thrilled with it. The only improvement I can think of is letting me start a program from the app.

Love Tap controller

The App and controller is great. This company is amazing. They are so supportive and the customer service is great. Anytime i had a question or issue, they were on top of it and helped me immediately. Scott is wonderful. Worth every penny. Makes firing so much easier and now i dont have to get out of bed to check my kiln at night. I can just check out what’s going on in the app. It’s great. You wont be sorry working with this company. I love this Jen Ken Kiln with the tap controller. Both are so good and customer service couldn’t be better. Thanks for being so supportive. Wish everybody had customer service like you. Especially these days. Hugs all.
