Trending in the wrong direction

The app started out pretty strong, but more recently I’ve seen lots of problems. 1) Connecting to the grill at all feels hit-or-miss. Half the time it works, the other half it doesn’t. There’s no clear rhyme or reason. 2) Even when it’s connected, the app doesn’t always give you the most current information on temperature or timers. Not sure how or why this happened but now you need to tap around to force the info to update. 3) The notifications and alerts went from being useful and descriptive to being something generic like “Weber App needs attention”. This is just terrible for the overall experience. Instead of being informed that the grill is at temperature or that the timer has been completed, there’s a moment of anxiety where the full range of potential problems is on the table because of this poor messaging. This app was good at one point. It can get back there, but it needs some love from Weber’s design and dev team.

Update:
Revised down to 2 stars. This most recent mid 2023 update is really bad. The app isn’t as clear or as useful as it was before and feels like it’s lost a lot of personality along the way. Please consider rolling back this most recent update. The previous version was a better foundation from which to iterate vs this one.

False notifications for over a year

Turning the power on or off triggers the low fuel notification every time, whether the gas is lit or off. Every grill session at the start it gives the low fuel notification. It throws the low fuel notification for a fresh 5 gallon propane tank or the 100 gallon house one. Neither ever remotely low. Useless notification It’s embarrassing for them. It throws the same notifications when you plug the power in after being unplugged when the grill itself isn’t on. The only thing the app is good for is seeing the grill temperature from your phone but even then… reading the developer comments they seem to think everything is a user problem and direct you to support. Clearly they do not understand what the issue is. The issue is them putting out a 1 star app and thinking they have improved and made it better over time. When whomever is managing this thing has made it significantly worse. Id probably just be rid of the whole team that makes decisions about the user interface and start over
