Purchased this thermometer from Sur La Table with high hopes. With a $90 price tag I expected the app to do the bare minimum - to pair with the device and show me the temperature of my meat in real time. First of all, why was it so hard to even find the right app to download?! How is it not linked directly on the site??! Second of all, I’ve tried using this 5 times and the app only detected the device once. The instructions to connect the app to the device looks like it was written by someone who only codes. “Direct link to Stake and Repeat the signal out”. WHAT?! This is NOT user error. I literally build websites and apps for a living and this made zero sense. These positive reviews were definitely written by fake purchasers. This is getting returned immediately and I will also write a review to Sur La Table so they stop carrying this device. Very unfortunate considering the design of the Stake itself is very slick, but the terrible app makes it totally useless.

DO NOT BUY!! Will not pair with an iPhone. Instructions reference a repeater. What is a repeater? Do I have to buy something else? I have a probe, I have a case/charger, I have a USB cord. It scans for a repeater but never finds one. It appears I have a worthless $90 metal stick unless I have a repeater. Store I purchased from is 45 minutes away but this $90 stick will need to be returned. Buying without reading reviews was a big mistake.

It is legitimately impossible to try and set a target temp for your probe. One of the most counterintuitive unresponsive lackluster apps I’ve ever used. Honestly what the hell.
