The stick itself works great, the app however needs a lot of work. It's very clunky and not very reliable for connecting the device to your phone. It took way too long to pair it to my Samsung S22, so it's not like I had an old phone. Customer support was useless as they never responded to my request for help. I had to hard reset the device using a paperclip on the reset button many times to get it to finally connect to my phone. But I will once connected it's a pretty neat tool.

Meatstick is Not Awesome
Well, since I was a valued customer and already had a large bundle with a couple sticks, charger, and wifi bridge. Then on Thanksgiving Week, I get a happy gobble gobble to vip's and now $129 more and you won't keep losing connections! And you can go out and buy that Turkey Fryer Kit because now ur probably can be in the fryer! And...before I purchased, I sent an email to support at the meatstick, asking if this new probe is compatible with my over $300 investment!...but it took 9 days to get an answer!!! I didn't say minutes..so, since you can't adjust the holiday that much, I took a chance and ordered...and then...to my disbelief...all the OTHER products I ordered for my feast arrived...like Malcolm Reed's Rubs from OK..and in my mail to support at the meatstick, I further told them that why are they Including a Free Extender for V5 for Gibble-Gobble!! WTF.....don't forget I found out 9 days later that it wasn't compatible! Then the app needed updating, installed the stick after charging, but couldn't connect the base to wifi....totally ruined my cook...then days later, I receive a notification that my samsung note8 is a tad older android and needs location and permissions enabled where's newer version doesn't need it! You need meatstick red app! Ok, download it...and no V5 available, even if you enable location and on top preferences..

Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed experience with us. I want to sincerely apologize for the challenges you faced, especially during an important cooking occasion like Thanksgiving. We deeply value your loyalty and regret that your experience didn’t meet expectations.
To address your concerns:
Response Time
I want to personally apologize for the 9-day delay in responding to your inquiry. During Thanksgiving week, we experienced an unexpected spike in support tickets, which significantly impacted our response times. While this isn’t an excuse, we’ve already taken steps to ensure better coverage during peak times in the future, so we can provide more timely assistance when you need it most.
Compatibility and Promotions
I understand your frustration with the compatibility confusion and the timing of promotions. Regarding the MeatStick V, I’m sorry for any misunderstanding. It has recently come to our attention that older Android devices, like your Note 8, require the MeatStick Red app for compatibility. While the app doesn’t currently display the V model in its interface, rest assured that the MeatStick V works with the Red app once permissions and location settings are enabled. We’re actively working to improve the visibility and communication around this.
As for the free extender promotion, we recognize how this may have felt unfair given the timing of your purchase. Your feedback has been noted and will help us refine how we communicate future promotions.
Technical Issues
I’m truly sorry for the technical challenges you faced, including connectivity issues and app updates. These experiences shouldn’t have disrupted your cooking, and we’re taking steps to improve setup clarity and ensure smoother experiences for all users moving forward.
Thank you for your patience and understanding. We’re committed to learning from this and delivering a better experience.

Service Help
I received the ordered MeatStick X promptly. The Meatstick would not connect to my MeatStick App which made it impossible to use with my pellet smoker. I wrote two requests for help and I have not heard back from your company. Very disappointed. I did research on my own found that my problem was a need to update my app with a Red program. Now it works. Would have been nice if the the MeatStick company would have told me how to fix my problem. The Meatstick X still does not charge my probes.

Your tech support is one of the worst I…
Your tech support is one of the worst I have seen. It took over 1 month and 9 emails to get a charger exchanged. The least email before you all shipped it you tried to upsell me to the most recent version at full price. The price quoted didn't reflect current prices, it was 30% higher. Really bad. I will not recommend your company for anything.
Response from The MeatStickNov 11, 2024
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We're truly sorry for the delay you experienced in getting your charger replaced—it certainly took longer than we’d like, and we appreciate your patience.
While we made an exception to replace your charger despite signs of water damage (which typically isn’t covered under warranty), we understand that the process felt frustrating. We also offered an upgrade to our latest probe at a discounted rate of 50%, although it was indeed a separate promotion from our 30% off sale price at that time. We strive to provide the best value to our customers and appreciate you taking the time to highlight areas where we can improve.
We hope you'll give us the chance to provide a better experience in the future, and please don't hesitate to reach out with any other concerns.
