iCelsius App Reviews

Awful

Recent update makes it useless. Never was able to connect to wifi network, cant tell if charged, just awful. Go by a maverick wireless for cheaper and 1000% more reliable. Terrible investment.

Crashes!

This update crashes every time I tap on graphs. I was looking forward to this app being updated but this is disappointing.

Buyer beware

Finally got my iCelcius unit after 4 weeks. Unit looks cool. Set every thing up as instructed on website and unit and app need serious work. Wifi unit is now a 100 dollar paperweight and the app is marginal at best when it runs. New product needs a lot of work.

Much improved

Latest update fixed a bunch of issues and added a feature Ive been waiting for. Thanks guys!

Still not up to par

App is getting better but they still have not addressed the recipe function. The recipes you can save and load only have the high range setting and only for one probe. It sets your high input on both probes if you have the dual BBQ set. Also is still messed up on degrees c vs f. You enter in f but converts to c in display. Note:You can manually set ranges on both probes and it works. Graph display is substandard. Need to allow longer time span to show(compress more). Also allow temperature span on y axis to be compressed. I am not having issue with remote connectivity as other reviewers mentioned. That is working well. You do have to register on web. I had to delete everything after update and set it up again but it works.

Great app, hardware needs improvement

I love this app because it gives precise reading every time. The problem I was trying to solve is most digi-therms available only work for a short while then they start giving poor readings. I felt like something that worked with my phone might be more accurate, and it is!! I have two problems with this product. My 4s doesnt always recognize that the probe is plugged in and/or it will give an error message "this unit not supported by this iOS device" (or something like that.) The other problem is that the wire leading to the probe doesnt seem to be oven proof. I would like to be able to leave the probe in the food while its baking and maybe even have it chime when the desired temp is reached. I dont actually know whether its ovenproof but the material doesnt look like it and the packaging gives no mention. Im about due for a phone upgrade--Im hoping I can get a better quality probe thats compatible with the iPhone 6!

Wifi doesnt work anymore!!!!!

The app freezes when looking for my home wifi! I specifically bought this tool to use because of the remote capabilities and now it wont even do that. Please fix this ASAP!

Not worth it

The BBQ dual probes both show infinity after just a few uses. Very poor for such an expensive product. I emailed customer support over 45 days ago and never heard anything. Not recommended.

Hot tub

Works fine -

Dual BBQ Needs Dual Alarm

Ive been searching for a device that can use WiFi instead of Bluetooth or 300Mhz. I wanted something I could use to keep an eye on my smoker and since it produces a lot of smoke I have the smoker a ways from the house. WiFi works great for this extended range that low power wireless like Bluetooth cant reach. I bought the dual probe because I need to watch the smoker temp and the meat temp. Two widely different temps most of the time. The problem with this app when used with he dual bar-b-que probes is that there is only one set of alarm points and it applies to both probes. I want to set a low temp alarm for the smoker to tell me if it runs out of wood and I want to set a high temp alarm for the meet probe to tell me the meat is cooked. The smoker low temp alarm is above the meat temp most of the time and the finished meat high temp alarm is below the smoker temp. The hardware from iCelsius seems to be in short supply. I ordered mine a couple of months ago and just received it recently. So this is my first big test of the system. So far, so good except for the alarm thing. Since this is a 12 hour cook Im going to have to plug it in. It only has a 6 hour battery life.

Amazing App

This app just keeps getting better and better. For a novice cook like myself, this is app is a lifesaver!

Buggy

Great when it works but lots of connectivity issues over wifi (which is the reason to buy this versus the less expensive blue tooth or radio options). Looses network, stops sending data, displays that probe isnt connected when it is, etc. Probes are also buggy. One of my dual probes jumps wildly between negative infinity and 80 degrees when sitting on the counter. Great idea but beware that youre a beta tester.

Not perfected yet

I love the idea and think they are on to something but its not perfected yet. I have had three of there products and only one still works. Wifi Bbq probe stopped working, Bluetooth didnt work at all. It is nearly impossible to get a hold of the company. Dont buy it.,sounds great if it worked.

Not worth the money

I have been very disappointed with this app and hardware.I bought model with two temp probes to measure both cooking and meat temp. 1) I have had to replace the temp probes at my expense because they quit working. Ive had the new ones for 9 months and now they appear to be failing. Yesterday one was giving me the infinity symbol and saying it was reading a temp outside its range. Not possible as I was smoking a pork butt on a pellet grill. 2) when connected to the wireless wifi of my home network it will drop the connection if your iPad goes to sleep. So you need to keep it connected to the icelsius connection but that means you can use your device/wifi to surf the Internet because it doesnt have a wifi connection. My friends have purchased other options and been happier.

Going down hill

Worked great my first 2 outings...now the correct readings just flash on the screen for less than a second then nothing or some wild temp for 10 seconds...is this an ios9 issue? Last cook iPhone worked fine an iPad had this problem, now both. On a side note the documentation is vague and if you are not a techie dont touch this

Absolutely love this thing!!!!

I absolutely love my ICelsius thermometer. I use it all the time especially when Im smoking my pork butts briskets and other things. I love that I can be anywhere I get Internet and get my readings right to my phone this is by far the best thermometer Ive ever used. Its extremely accurate and CustomerService is superior. Thank you guys for making such a great product.

Love it

Works great. Love the wireless temp monitoring. Wish it stayed connected for more than 2 weeks at a time and I didnt have to register the probe as often as I do, but works great.

Fantastic

Support is tremendous! This works well and thats the best part. It just works! I tried several other remote iPhone temperature sensors and non worked as well as this. Also as I started to say support is great. Contacted them and had a question resolved right away. Highly recommend!

Stop fixing stuff that isnt broken!

The last update made my device inoperable. I keep getting a pop up to download a newer version even though Ive downloaded already, deleted the app and redownloaded, and reset power. Nothing stops the pop up! When I hit NO (dont download) the app crashes. Complete BS. Im returning the unit.

Dead on third use

I bought iCelsius BBQ to use roasting coffee at home. Died on my third roast, way below 450F. I emailed support, exchanged a couple of messages, then they stopped replying without solving my problem.
