The app is very easy to use and will not only display the grate and set temperatures, but it will also display the temperature readings from the other 3 probes that come with the Signals controller. Having both available is a plus, and allows you to the unit with you if you’re doing events or catering outside your home. You can do a Wi-Fi as well as a Bluetooth connection. The app is free to download and only needs to be setup once to connect with the Signals device. Thermoworks has a nifty app, available for both Apple and Android, that will allow you to do all that and more remotely. Operating and setting the temperature from the Signals device is very easy.
