ThermoWorks 4+

App isn’t perfect, but support is.

I initially rated this app 1 star because the app gave me trouble when I was firing up the grill and using the Signals and Thermoworks app for the first time in a year. I couldn't paste my password. App’s fault. Then, when I did get my email put it, the app told me it was connected to a different account. My fault. I forgot I had used a private relay email with Apple. I got a nice response from the developer to my negative review on the app store, and so I called support. I immediately got a live person (Nuemmy?) on the phone who was extremely helpful and friendly. She was great. Exactly the kind of customer service one would hope for but rarely gets. ThermoWorks just got a customer for life after helping me out so quickly with my support call. Highly recommend their products and support. My only mild complaint is that the app is finicky when it comes to pasting into the password field. I’d also prefer to use AA batteries than have to remember to charge my Signals after use. Other than that, the product and app are great. Totally worth the money to have a top quality probe thermometer and great support if anything goes awry.

Extremely useful app now. Huge upgrade from the older app.

The app is now very easy to use and the Wi-Fi connection and Bluetooth connectivity is rocksolid with the Smoke Gateway. The graphs are great. The device is very accurate for both checking oven air temperature and meat temperature. I even begin to notice that one of my double wall ovens was off temperature. I replaced the oven temperature thermistor and then recalibrated the oven using the Thermoworks Smoke and Smoke Gateway with the air temperature probe. Being able to track the graphs at certain fixed temperatures for over an hour showed me accurate heating curves for the oven so that I could get it calibrated properly. All from the comfort of my recliner while watching TV. The oven now works like a dream and as expected. And the wife is very happy as her baked goods now turn out predictably. So kudos to Thermoworks for the improvements they’ve made in their app.

Graph interface could use a little work

Overall the app is pretty nice, there are some quality of life features that would really make the temperature graphs more powerful. 1. Being able to set a time window within a session, basically any way to scale the x-axis would make seeing details on graphs easier. If you leave a session running forever there's no detail at all because there are months of data jammed on the screen to scrub through. 2. Being able to upload data to the cloud more frequently than every 30 minutes. I understand this preserves battery life but if the unit is plugged in, why can't you choose more frequent intervals. 3. The graph interface should remember which channels you enable/disable. I don't need to see ambient temp on the graph (dashboard info is enough), but I need to turn it off everytime, which brings me to my next issue, the y-axis doesn't rescale if you remove channels, it should rescale the y-axis after removing a channel (like ambient temp which sets the upper limit really high for refrigeration use).
