The Pit Pal BBQ App App Reviews

Great app!

As you take your smoking to the next level keeping a journal of events is key. Great app for that!!

Great for Stoker

Found this app after having problems with another Stoker enabled App I bought a year ago. LOVE the interface on this app compared to the other one. Great alert options, and the cloud server function is a great idea. Wish it had a graph function but other then that, A+

2 cooks and done

This was great until I got a pop up that said I only get three cooks free and then need to upgrade. The issue is I have had 2 cooks not three and tell me how are we really supposed to rate this app after only 2 cooks. I think its a good app in general. Its crashed on me a few times and only getting 2 free cooks is a loser for this app. Other timers and apps out there for free

Great App, One Request

Love the app. Makes long smokes easy. Recommend adding fan utilization on cyberq to monitoring and reports. Important to know how pit is performing and when adjustments should be made.

Great app, even better customer service!

Read some great reviews on this app, downloaded it and couldn’t get it to connect to my CyberQ. Brian, walked me through the steps to fix the issue (on my side) and now it’s working great! Can’t wait for my first cook!

Great app!

If you on the barbecue guru equipment this is the app for you. It works fantastic and keeps track of all your cooks. Cant say enough good stuff about it.

Great App!

Love the app, easy to use and great UI.

Fantastic App for BBQ Guru

This app works flawlessly every time.

Excellent app

Really enjoy using this app with my BBQ Guru CyberQ. Works beautifully. The cloud option is a must have.

Social Networking & multi-pit

This app has potential, but its missing a couple features that cooks today want to see. First, the stoker supports more than 6 devices, including multiple blowers. As someone that uses a single stoked for multiple smokers, this app is only useful on the first smoker due to a single pit probe configuration. Second, its 2015. Any app like this needs an export ability to send reports and alerts to Twitter, wordpress blogs, Facebook and more.

Excellent in some areas but lacking in others

I have been using this app for over a year and have really liked it. The Pit Pal has a good user interface and is great at tracking your cooks. I am changing my rating because, as someone else mentioned, this is 2015 you should be able to export your cook information to XML, Excel, Word, CSV formats. I noticed on their website that you can export your data. When support was contacted I was informed that this is not available on iOS devices. When questioned on what options are available to export the data I was met with a statement of not on iOS devices. FAIL. I am moving on to another application.

Great app needs an update

Ive been using this app for over a year with great success. I use it in combination with another bbq monitor app. The other app allows me to check more sensors and Pit Pal allows me to monitor my cyberq remotely (outside of my network) and continuously. The graph is awesome. I do wish it could track more sensors. It would also be nice if it had a better alert system that could wake me up if food is done or grill temp is out of range. Other than those little things it works really well for its intended purpose. Update: I recently upgraded from iPhone 5 to iPhone 6s and the app still works well but almost every time I use it and switch out of the main monitoring screen, the back button ◀️ locks up and wont let me get back. The app itself doesnt fully crash but I still need to close app and restart it. This bug needs to be fixed and app will be great again.

Buyers Remorse

Purchased this Application over year ago used it one time, I find it much easier to use the application that came with my CyberQ temperature control unit. This application was a waste of money for me.

Good

Keeping detailed records and notes of your cooking improves your cooking dramatically. With a little practice you can save some your best recipes in this app and use them time and again and improve them.

Just what I was looking for!

Im new to the "Q" and was looking for a better way to save my cook logs. Pen and paper was just not cutting it. This is perfect! Would love to be able to go back and edit cook info a bit better, list choices for smoker and food would be nice to have a editable option their. The photo option is great too but need to be able to access the photo library not just opening the camera only. Temp control options are great too, love that you can manually add your temps for non controller cookers. Love the app! Been using for a few weeks now. Look forward to future updates!

Wasted a couple dollars

I downloaded the free version, it looked promising so I went ahead and paid for the full version. Does not work at all! I can add a meat, but if I tap it, it deletes and it wont let me start my cook. It really looked like it could have some handy features, but its screwed.

Great app

This is a great app. Works just like it says. Just another way to keep track of smokes. Works great with the Leatherneck 1.
