Traeger App Improvements - What do You Want to See?

[Smokey Black]

Better connectivity when you turn the app back on to check, takes too long and sometimes fails.

What do you want to see fixed, improved or added to the Traeger App? Here's a few on my list in not any particular order. Right now it basically feels like a glorified thermometer app.

1. Fix the custom cook cycles so I can actually "Add" one of my own. The + is there it just doesn't do anything.
2. Fix it so the app can run in the background so notifications would still work. It seems it always has to "connect" when I launch the app.
3. Stop focusing on the other app bits which are just a pathway to buying more products. Focus on the wifire!
4. Trending and charting of cooks that we can see and save to learn from and share.. Similar to bbq guru sharemycook, which I still have to use because it's that much better.
5. Alarms on different probes, cooker and meat probe.

The app really needs an “alarm” feature so that it goes off until you press a button... when you’re going through the cook cycles just a “one off” notification isn’t enough. Especially if I’m cooking overnight I want to be woken up by the alarm

Mine pushes alarms when the app is closed so I can't understand why others' won't. More than once I have accidentally bumped 'keep warm' and had the temps drop on me, I'd like to see that get changed somehow.

+1, I completely agree. then is very much needed!!

I get a push notification when the app is closed, but it’s just a “one off”, not like a traditional alarm clock alarm that keeps sounding until you press a button

Low priority, but an iPad optimized version of the app with landscape mode. I like the option of propping up the iPad on its stand and having it there on the table so I can easily glance over to it and get an update while watching TV, etc. The larger screen could also allow for additional features that just don't work on a smaller phone's screen.

Yup I agree

The recent app update is a nice step forward and as mentioned there's few things left to really make this app full featured.
iPad landscape friendly would be a massive improvement.
Being able to graph chamber and probe(s) It's kinda strange this isn't there given this has become so standard for remote thermometers.
If I set an alarm, don't ring once and stop. Keep ringing until told to stop.
In the same theme of graph, be able to save cooks for learning/history of what worked, what didn't. Be able to add things like wind, ambient temp, etc.

I would like the ability to add personal notes to my favorite recipes.

I would like see a place where u can type the last type of pellet in the hopper. I always forget what I leave in there.

Make little magnets with every pellet you have and place it in the hopper lid

Allow the app to go to landscape mode instead of just portrait mode. Also the ability to access the graphs of cooks for setpoint and actual temps throughout the cook. Be nice to add in the outdoor ambient temps as well.

how hard is it to make this landscape on an ipad

I still want to see at least a two step process to set grill to 'warm'. It irks me when I accidentally hit that but when I go to 'shutdown' it's a two step process and that option is tucked away where it can't accidentally get hit.

 

[AKreuzer]

I want to see the app be able to automate the grilling process again(programmable multi steps (step 1 hold x temp for y time, then go to this temp until probe temp of z, then keep warm). The main reason for buying a Traeger was because I didnt have to wake up in the middle of the night to increase temp once off of the smokeing phase or to get to final temp before transporting the meat to an event.

Very disappointed the feature is gone in the new app

I think one thing that really needs changed is the ability to switch between two wifi quickly and effectively. I mentioned it during beta testing a couple different times.

Custom cooks returned, and an App that works. 2 weeks in and no update yet. Still only 450 on my new 780 Pro.
