MEATER

Meater+: So far so good! I've yet to cook with it and will update my review when I do as I see many have connectivity issues. The onboarding is simple enough but was confusing at first as I tried to manually connect the device which you do not need to do. Nice interface. Note to users: as instructed, allow it to charge 4hrs before trying to connect.

I have had nothing but issues with my meater plus since i purchased it. The temperature is out by a good 60degC on the external reading. I have tested and compared temperatures with a number of other devices side by side and the only one different is the meater. I cant walk more than 2m away from the dock or it will drop out of range, even though the prob and dock are 400mm apart. If i leave the app running in the background, the app will close after a few minutes which doesnt give any alarms.

Can not connect to meater cloud. I've used this app for a long time and haven't had any problems with the probes or the app and tell recently. Now I cannot connect to the cloud even though I enter my email and password. It just sends me back to the main screen without connecting. Very frustrating since this feature has worked in the past and is a nice feature to have

I love the product! One issue though. The app needs a "End Cook" button badly though. There is no intuitive way to end the cook. Sometimes it ends when you plug the thermometer into the block. Most of the time, it just keeps on going until I Force Close the app with Android system tools. The app really needs an I'm done / end the cook button to close everything out nicely and intuitively.

works well enough but the setup is so awful. it's a thermometer, it does not need a long tutorial you can't skip that also tries to sell you more thermometers before you even have a chance to use it. Needs a skip set-up option. Edit: It now FORCES you to have an email. You must give your thermometer a email so you can use it. This is the most invasive kitchen tool. I can't imagine being promted to log into my kitchen knife before I could use it.

This app used to work great for me but the cloud connection seems to have stop working with the release of Android 12. Unfortunately support requests seem to go unanswered. Other parts of the app are OK and it does a decent job of predicting cook times for smaller cuts of meat. I wish it was easier to export past cook data for other applications.

Bought the meater block, and so far has been the biggest waste of money I've ever spent. Probes never stay connected, and neither does the block. I haven't been able to update the firmware for months. Every time I try it just disconnects. I've placed my phone and the block directly next to my router and it still refuses to update. I've tried all the I've tricks too, and I get the same message; can't update at this time, make sure you're connected to the same wifi

Great concept but the device constantly struggles to connect, both from the probe to the block and from the block to the phone. Range is more like 10m if you are lucky, and it disconnects a good 5 times for every hour of cooking. Is great when it works, but only works correctly about 20% of the time, hence the 1 star review. Would not recommend.

Initial setup/connection is MISERABLE and even moreso when trying to add a second device to the probe There is no way to connect to the meater cloud without first connecting to the probe. -this is the biggest fail IMHO. After suffering through the you're-probably-a-moron setup, when it fails that's it! Done! You can't proceed. How do we fix this? Welcome to Meater Do you already have an account?

Meater Plus with Bluetooth Repeater. Equal parts expensive and obnoxious. There is nothing quite so frustrating when nearing the end of a long cook to wrap your meat for the crutch and the thermometer absolutely refusing to connect with either the phone or the base. There are so many other options on the market that do it better. This one is a dud. Consistently drops readings despite phone, thermometer and base being less than a foot from each other. It was working two minutes ago!

This is often inaccurate. Sometimes the results are undercooked and other times overcooked. In fact I still use an old school thermometer to double check. I would say it works better in the oven than on the grill. It frequently has connection issues too. I contacted customer service and they said they need to elevate the help ticket and never heard back. I would not recommend this product.

Besides some distance connection issues it has been a great app to use. If you are using the meater + connecting it to a tablet and then using your phone to connect via cloud make sure you turn the Bluetooth on your phone off everytime you get within range it will have a hard time switching between devices causing connection loss lag. Besides that Great app poor Bluetooth range.

The reason I'm disappointed is because the device leaves me without necessary data when the ambient temperature for the device gets too high. While adjusting the ambient temperature, the alarm rings loudly and the screen blasts red warnings, but the ability to see the meat temperature is gone. Makes no sense.

Works great for temps both inside and outside of the meat. The algorithm is not perfect for slow cooks, but it does give the temps and that's all I need. Don't need to be told when to rest, take it off the grill, ect. They should have a pro mode for more experienced pitmasters.

$100 "extended Probe" and lose connection within a 10 foot radius many many times. And issue connecting to probes EVERY SINGLE TIME I want to use the thermometer. And the app needs a button to force connect to paired probes. It doesn't have it or I don't know where it is. Both need addressing.

Save your money. Not as great as it seems. Connection issue like crazy. Will drop it mid cook, and you'll fight to get it back. Used it half a dozen times and have yet to have a trouble free cook. Just stick with a wired probe at a fraction the price. SUPER disappointing.

Can't get it connected to the wifi which defeats the whole purpose. Connected to tethered device but can't go beyond reach of that device, again defeating the purpose. If it would connect it would be almost perfect. As one reviewer noted and I concur, the set up process is long and overly lengthy for a thermometer.

I would love to actually rate this app but it simply won't open, I've uninstalled and downloaded numerous times and each time I open it goes to a welcome page for a split second and kicks back out to play store...I've emailed Meater but have yet to get some help...I've installed numerous other apps with no issue since, I've tried all the troubleshooting steps...nothing...I own the most expensive tooth pick on the planet

After 3 cooks my Meater+ will not stay connect either via the charging device or probe. (*Advice - Read other similar reviews*) Followed all troubleshooting and it's clear the Bluetooth functionality on these devices are faulty. Supposed to auto switch between charger and probe depending on most reliable connection, it does't do this either. All devices are 12" apart, and clean. Worst part is that you get no reply to your support questions or warranty. Buy a $10 probe and save the hassle

Doesn't connect. Back to manual. Says it's connected some places, not connected in others in the app. Confusing interface. Not sure why they don't just have a readout on the base. Doing it through your phone isn't convenient, it's an unnecessary extra step

I have 2 probes (one plus and one normal) and always have issues connecting the one that I want. You can't rely on the app to work so need to troubleshoot ahead of time, which sometimes works and sometimes not. When it does work its awesome!

Garbage like everyone else is saying. It worked well when I first bought it but whatever updates they did rendered it totally useless! Constantly disconnects shortly after connecting then won't connect again. Honest to God, fix your app because the premise is great but you have ruined the experience and your reputation with a faulty app. Too bad. P.S. I very rarely if ever write reviews but this is infuriating!

When I opened the box, the plastic tab for keeping the batteries inactive was gone. When switching on the Meater Block to connect to WiFi, the top two WiFi and Bluetooth options on the mobile were already bring green ticked. The MeaterApp found the right WiFi Name and I tried to key in my password, it kept failling for over 14 times. Really disappointed if this was a old MeaterBlock. unit. Still can't used as without my correct passeord being accepted, it is useless. I need to contact Suppor

The probe needs to be inserted (nearly) fully to a depth of about 2 inches. The probes them selves have a significant diameter and are fairly blunt... Making this near impossible on any cut except roasts. You can forget ribs, chicken, and if your steak/chop has a fat cap the probe cannot penetrate it... Even cutting steaks the diameter makes it impossible to get the probe in "properly". I've given up and will just go back to estimating time and using an instant read thermometer.

I really looked forward to this as a BBQ tool. The connection issues are a deal breaker. I've used it for 5 cooks and it worked great. Now I'm stuck blinking red and the probe will not connect. It's clean. That's the only troubleshooting step online. I've had this thing for 6 weeks. It's not worth your time.
