Pros and cons of iCelsius app for iPhone and iPad
iCelsius app good for
I do love this product and its companion app is good. It works great. I dont have any trouble with the app. The only issues are small and they are with the equipment itself. The plug in doesnt stay plugged in very easy so I use a rubber band to hold it together and that fixes the problem. The other issue is the lights on the temperature probe are very difficult to see in daylight.
All in all I would still recommend this product to friends and family. I love being able to put a brisket on the smoker and keep an eye on the meat temperature and the smoker temperature al from my smart device. Ive been known to plug my iPad in and set the display to never shut off and just leave the app open and watch it while doing other things. Like enjoying a cold beer with friends. And everyone can hep keep an eye on the meal. Makes for more fun.
The app is fairly easy to use, but the recipes arent intuitive or even correct.
Very accurate and convenient method to monitor temp and RH levels in my humidor while Im home or away using the remote monitoring. Looking forward to trying the BBQ temp probe I also bought.
Some bad moments
It reports every 8-14 seconds that the temperature has reached more than 250 Celsius even if the temerature is just abut 30 degrees.
The false alarms are terrible annoying and do not allow using pre configured alarms as they are also triggered every few seconds..
Not usable at the moment.
Nice idea with the app but there are way cheaper probes on the market that work way better.
The app that downloads is totally different to the screen shots shown here.
This app is an xtention of the related device. The device has a lot problems, especially receiving the wifi signals; very often signal reception is interrupted. But the direct connection is somewhat more reliable. İCelcius satem in essence could be an excellent device-software pair if these problems would be.
This is funny programm, it show 9-11C when real temperature is about 26-28C.
It was started from 30C, and after some time temperature decreased to 2C
This product and app have a lot of potential, but many software bugs remain to be fixed. Syncing through your home network is supposed to then allow linkage through the internet, allowing remote monitoring from an iPad or iPhone, anywhere you go beyond your own wifi network. The connectivity, however, is inconsistent and frequently disconnects. Additionally, every time you switch to a different app screen on your device (like switching back to Settings so you can reconnect the wifi that you just lost...again), you lose all of the temperature history that youve been graphing. Very frustrating as that is the whole point to graphing. It is supposed to store your temperature and graphing history, but doesnt do so.
On the plus side, the thermometer appears to be extremely accurate down to the tenth of a degree. You can even just blow on it lightly from a few feet away and it will register the temp change.
Overall, good hardware, software needs work. Hope they fix it as Id really like to not have to return the product. Im perfecting brisket recipes and temp accuracy (and being able to see what it actually IS) is critical!
UPDATE 5/29/16:
Ok, sorry folks. As much as I wanted this thing to succeed, it is really just crap. Latest update just crashes repeatedly. Completely unreliable for what I need it to do. Returning it on Tuesday and demanding full refund. Dont bother purchasing until they fix EVERYTHING about their software, or better yet just buy from someone else.
this app is deceptive it doesnt work you apparently have but hardware
