Title: App?
Post by: Toker on March 20, 2016, 08:36:08 PM
Hi, I have a couple of questions that does not seems clear enough for me if I can ask thanks. Will it come with the app, or where will be able to get it? Do you know? Also, it says 2 sensors, are they only for the smoker temp or will we be able to monitor the food temp also? Thanks

From what they wrote it looks like both probes are for food, I'm sure you could use one for cabinet temp though.

You will need to download the app from your app store to your smartphone, or tablet. Where you get the app from depends on your phone's operating system, but there should be an icon or you may have to go into your settings, on your phone to take you to the app store. Once at the store do a search for the Bradley app and download it onto your phone. iPhone has an icon that will take your directly to Apple Store. It's been a few years since I've had an Android model, so I can't remember how I downloaded apps to that phone. Also there are so many manufacturer's that are using Android, each probably has their own method. So if you can't find and icon, check your phone documentation. Android apps are downloaded from the Google Store.

You may want to send Bradley an email to see what apps will be available. Many times there is up to a year lag from when a manufacturer releases an iPhone app, until they release an Android app. That is one of the main reasons I switched to an iPhone. If you have an older phone, also ask them what versions of the operating system (OS) the app works with.

Edited:
After sending this message I saw the post from Bradley. They do support Android, but if you have an older phone, I would check to see what OS is required to run the app.

So far the Google Play store show nada for Android. I'm interested in the new smoker, but only if Bradley is going to provide an Android app and properly support it. If only iOS is supported (the name of the device sort of implies that) I'll stay with what I have.

Bradley did announce that there will be an Android app. You will probably not see the app until the smoker goes on sale in May.

I guess I'm old school but I don't see what the fuss is about with this new smoker. You can set the cooking temps and times remotely from your smart phone. It can't control the temp swings like a pid. Does it do anything else? It seems like little more than an expensive gadget. What am I missing?

I spoke with a Bradley representative and they said they will contact the app maker to come out with a fix with this situation.

I did it with the help of someone from the Bradley Smoker fan club on fb!! Just read his instructions on how to do it.

Just open a browser to apk pure website, and search for the app, download it, and then open it and you tablet will ask about letting things install from places other than the play store

I still don't know if I made it correctly but I made it  :) It is now in my tablet  ;D

Any update on this? Lack of tablet support is a deal breaker for me.

They sent me a reply on fb telling me that they are working to including it into the next fix version.

Thanks. I'm not sure how comforting that is. I'm not a big fan of experimental software. Given the price of this thing I may just upgrade my 8 year old OBS to a tried and true 6 rack digital.

I'm not inclined to replace a tablet that does everything I need except control a smoker that's a luxury.

Just wondering if anyone has heard any further updates on the app? I am very interested in the smoker but the app is the big concern for me. I downloaded it from Play onto my Samsung Note 4 to test it out and it constantly locks up and crashes upon startup. I know that my phone isn't on the list of supported phones but further research from Bradely has indicated that the app requires O.S. 4.3 (KitKat or higher) and Bluetooth 4.0 which I exceed both of those?

So bottom line for me is if the app doesn't work then its not worth the price it costs right now.
Title: Re: App?
Post by: Toker on November 28, 2016, 01:54:06 PM
I think it needs the smoker to stop crashing cause I too downloaded it (no smoker yet) and it does the same. I'll buy it early January and will post definitive answer here once tried with the smoker.

That would be great thank you ! ... Maybe a Rep will reply fingers crossed and give us an official answer as well.

I have the smart smoker, and a galaxy s6.  The app crashes non-stop.  I have to uninstall and reinstall every time I close the app.
