Mine was working great up until mid smoke and it cut out. Lost all data and temperatures. Kind of a bummer that it doesn't record recent cooks. Might try the maverick instead.

Wish it was like some of the long range rifle apps that record data.
 
They just did a second update on August 11th since they butchered it a couple weeks ago. It's already improved greatly and I'm hearing from Facebook groups they will continue to do updates getting old features back up and running.

First attempt a a smoke yesterday.  The temp range option would have been really usefull.

I found this site and I read this thread.  I was going to download an old apk file but when I came to remove the existing app it showed an update.  Downloaded it and it now DOES have the temp range option back.

    Min 50f max 572f.   (thats 10c to 300c for those of us in the UK)

It also alows a range of preset temps plus you can create your own.

Hopefully, they have also improved the bluetooth range. We'll see.....

Received an email update from Weber.
Hi Fraser,

Thank you for contacting the Weber iGrill Team and for taking the time to submit your feedback!

If you haven't already, please update the Weber iGrill App as we've brought back the range feature and custom presets, as well as improved audible alerts!

We are working with our development teams to bring back the following in upcoming updates:

    Audible alerts on the iGrill 2 and 3 units
    Graph:
        Probes viewed on one screen
        View entire cooking session
        Enable zoom feature

So sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused. These features will be added back into the app within the next two to four weeks. As always, please let us know if you have any questions or concerns in the meantime.

Thank you,
Brooke

Seems they may be listening.....

The latest iGrill app no longer supports the original iGrill (now called the iGrill Classic)!

This made me mad when I went to use it and it would simply not connect at all.

BUT, I called Webber support and they are going to send me an iGrill Mini (same 2 channels as the original) for FREE!

I just had to email them with my phone, email, mailing address, and photos of my iGrill Classic.

The mini is just a single channel
 
You are right.
I double checked their email - it says they are sending me the iGrill Kitchen Thermometer which is two channel.
:-)
 
So I ran the new app the other day. Ranges are back. Connectivity is still an issue. Even lost connection with the phone right next to the transmitter.

The other thing I don't like is you can't change the temp of a probe without shutting it down and restarting it.  Which means you lose the data as it starts over.

Send them an email with the issue or request. We won't get updates unless they know about it!
