recteq

I was hoping that with the recent update the temp probe notifications would work but they still don’t. The app is extremely basic and has limited features. I don’t care about showing my cooks to other people I care about the app being competitive with traeger.

Notifications are often slow, especially on long weekends, graph is difficult to read, but it works and does the job.

Makes cooking and controlling my Recteq griss so easy

First off, I love the grill. Really like the the app, other than waiting for an update that will include an UPDATE with an ALARM for when the PROBES HIT TEMPERATURE!!! HATE the new app because they update the recipe portion of the app with fewer and missing resides. Like the maple bourbon bacon pecan pie! WHY? WHY?? WHY??

I love the Rec Tec grills. I think they are the best bang for the buck hands down. The app, on the other hand, needs a lot of work compared to their main competitors. Broken: alarms do not work so having probes are useless unless you’re constantly looking at your phone or standing by the grill Polishing: User interface is fairly basic. Recipes could use some work to make them more useable (saving, searching, moving between recipes, etc). WI-FI connection reliability seems to be an issue with some users (haven’t experienced it myself though). Needed: programmable settings such as altering temps after a certain time or food temperature, auto setting based on a selected recipe, memory functions for common temps you use, etc.

Thanks

The grills are amazing, but the app is a massive let down... Way too many times it loses its connection with the grill. And now that IOS 13 is out, hundreds of people including me, cannot use the app as it just crashes as you open it.... And Rectec is extremely slow at updating the app to fix all the bugs. It's a pity such an awesome grill has such a terrible app.

This app and the RECTEC makes me look like a great cook! Had some issues connecting after changing my network but Zach at RECTEC was very helpful and I’m back online! One thing that would make this app even better would be a place for writing down your recipes and the things you did to possibly share with other users.

The app is great when it works, but the updates send it into a nosedive that require a ridiculous amount of workarounds to get it back on track

Reliable app. 97 cooks to date. That’s not to say there is not room for improvement. - Needs better notification options. The prob alarms are easy to miss. Allowing the choice from the devices ring tones would be helpful. - The charting is helpful but I’d like the line that displays the temp as you move across the graph highlighting a point to tell you not only the temp but the time if the reading. It’s difficult to tell on a phone screen even landscape.
