That's not a good sign! Reviewer on Amazon had some app issues but liked the functionality.
I may hold off for a bit before ordering one
I also read that the probes are not really waterproof as originally thought. Is that true?

Being the first always not best with tech and apps.
I will let you know how the second one goes!

Well I received the new 735 today. Installed batteries and connected with my Samsung phone. Took probe outside about 35' and lost signal, brought back in house and still it could not detect the probe. Restarted phone and it worked for about 10 feet. Not sure if the software is buggy or the device.
I have a call into their tech support, sounds like they have one guy who is at lunch
Anyone else having any luck with theirs?

I noticed yesterday that the reviews on Amazon (non-paid), were less than stellar...

My guess is these have some real issues, right now I am shooting through 1 window at 30'. I am able to connect bluetooth to the device, but it does not see the probes. My guess is a software issue, hopefully I will know more if the tech ever calls back.
Right now I am planning on overnight a 733 from Amazon.

Wish the had a 733 that could handle 4 probes!
This reminds me of the quote, slightly mis-quoted, that all I want is my land and that abuts(?) it! ;D
Start where you are, as I did two years ago, and build on what is necessary to get great Q, and I think you will find that you don't need more gadgets, you already have the perfection! We need a way to measure IT of our meat, but if it works, no need to fix it. If the door bell is still ringing, they like your Q! Sit back, relax, enjoy the comps, and think about that next smoke! Cheers

My wife said about the same thing, the more features you add the more chance something will break.
But being a tech guy, I still love my toys.
Oh well back two steps forward one

I picked this up a week or so ago. Its my first therm and the only one i have ever used so i really don't have a baseline to compare it to. I am using the iPhone 6.
Right out of box it was very easy to pair with the redi-check app. I put in the batteries and turned it on an it showed up in the "available devices" in the app. i selected it an off i went. I attached the probes and heated up the probes a bit. Did this so i could see if the app tracked closely with the home device as the temp normalized (room temp). No issues, there was virtually no delay. I then decided to walk out of the house and see if it dropped signal. No drops at all up to 100 ft and through walls. Easily changes between probes on the phone as well. I used it once so far and had no issues with some chickens. Again i have nothing to compare it to but i also have had zero issues with it. I am very happy with it and would definitely recommend.

I am glad this worked for you, maybe just the Android app has issues!
