found a meater thermometer in my Airbnb. decided to try it with some steaks. I found I cannot even monitor temperature without signing up for a cloud account. not gonna happen. edit: since the developer responded, I will state that my phone (and probably everyone’s phone) has enough storage to save cook profiles of they […]

was using this product for years with one of the thermometers, no issues, connectivity was as good as could be expected from a wireless thermometer in a hot metal box. my issue is with the newest update, I am required to make an account and sign away my personal data for a product I already […]
good accuracy and great ability to monitor the cooking of food. the biggest problem is you can’t connect to Wi-Fi as indicated. I watch you tube videos and followed instructions and it’s impossible to connect. I need this feature to work because when smoking brisket and I am not at the house, I need to […]
Meater Cloud Connection Unreliable on Holidays– You can set up your probe and remotely. view your cook with another device if they are both signed into the cloud. However, this feature doesn’t work on days like July 4th when everybody else wants to barbecue: you’ll find that the app has issues logging into the cloud […]
I used this app one time, and it was continually disconnecting even though I was within 25 ft of the block at all times. I went to use it again last night, and no matter what I did, I could get no connection whatsoever with the probe or block to my phone. I am extremely […]
Paid over $100 for probe. pay extra if you want multiple steps. didn’t know microtransactions were involved when getting a meater thermometer. Call of Duty for culinary utensils. recipes on app aren’t that great either. seems like an amateur company for people who don’t have time or imagination for simple foods. Will be getting a […]
used to be 5 stars, this all changed when the app started to send me a notification every time there is an update to the estimated cook time. The only way to shut this off is to shut down your volume. not a great idea when you’re doing overnight cooks, but with a notification going […]
Almost Good. Terrible app that wants to know your “cook”. Just let me see the temperature! This fancy thermometer is terrible. Poor WiFi range and the block turns off all the time because it’s draining AA batteries instead of using a lithium battery that could run it for more than a few minutes at a […]
After a bad initial experience, I broke down and called customer service. They ended up confirming that my probe needed replacement, and sent me a new one. So now I have been able to use it multiple times, and the experience has been pretty good. I definitely feel like I am getting more consistent and […]
The probe does not hold a charge reliably to work with this app. I’ve tried to get this product to work for 10 months. Only works 1 of 3 times, and only with enough charge for a 20-30 minute cook. Even when you change batteries and clean thoroughly, no improvement. Customer service is non-existent with […]
Incredibly frustrating to use. I’ve had a Meater thermometer for several years and have yet to successfully use it. The probe is never fully charged (even after being on the charger for days), it constantly disconnects, and the app interface is not intuitive and user friendly. It’s aggravating when you have your smoker loaded up, […]
I would love nothing more than to give meater a five star rating; however, I can’t even the three is pushing it. I have both the meater and the meater 2 plus, neither one will stay connected through a full cook. The meater probe won’t even connect anymore. I have changed the batteries, researched online […]
this device has never worked. first few times I tries using it had 5+ minute updates. then battery died and I lost connection to the probe. after replacing batteries it has never successfully reconnected to the probe. I got the device to work for one cook. then got a new phone and after 2 more […]
probes were disconnecting. found from support that mixing probes from 2 different pro duo blocks is not allowed. difficult to keep them straight since they cannot be named, only allow naming once a cook is started. no FAQ or tech info on this scenario is found anywhere on the site. maybe some notes on this […]
i always have problems connecting and staying connected. everytime I use it, this happens. it is currently not working at all. waste of 100$ UPDATE 8/1/25…. I have tried to use the meter once again. it shows up on my phones bluetooth list but the app won’t connect. Incredibly frustrating. Nothing connects and your customer […]
The thermometers themselves aren’t bad, but the app is such a pain. I have to watch the set up cook videos and it won’t let me skip. It forgets that I’ve used the product before if I haven’t used them in a couple months and I’m forced to rewatch and I can’t skip. It also […]
I use the probe and app infrequently, and every time I want to use it, it’s almost impossible to do so. Today, I tried to use my probe, but could not connect it (shows available in Bluetooth settings). I cleared data, eventually reinstalled the app, and now when I try to login (which should not […]
The thermometer itself is great. I’ve used both the android and the iPhone versions of the app. They’re both a little glitchy. This one goes off an annoying amount. Any time I exit the app (which is gonna be a lot if I’m smoking a big piece of meat) it beeps at me. It will […]
it’s maximum ambient temperature is way to low. much better products on the market. they are very good at advertising. I’ve had 4 probes break already. one was bought the others where a gift. I wouldn’t recommend buying these. on top of that I’ve had the temperature of the meat be off by a lot […]
The app itself is bad and just got worse. It loses connection all the time with the thermometer, whether you have the Bluetooth connection or the meater+ block. Every couple of minutes I’ll check my phone for an update only to have the “No Meater Connected” screen. Then when it finally does connect, the cook […]
