I love my Lavatools instant read thermometers. Always accurate and incredibly fast!
However, as much as I would love to love the Carbon Pro, it's not quite there yet.
Perhaps I may have a defective one as it has a heck of a time to sync up and looses connection often.
I'll update the review next week after further attempts!
Ok...
So here I am a year later and still having problems.
Thanksgiving and decided to give it another try.
No such luck and same problems.
I love lavatools but this one is a bust.
Complete waste of money and time!
I want to love this product but I can’t due to reliability and consistency issues.
Lavatools....please help!
No matter what I do, update the iOS software, reinstall CarbonThermometer or repeatedly open it, it never makes it past the loading screen before it crashes. And to exacerbate things, CarbonThermometer Store link for “app support” doesn’t even take me anywhere useful, just to the Lavatools website!
I’m on iOS 12 on iPhone XS Max and it was working on iOS 12 a few weeks back. I’m not sure if they sent out an update since, but now it does not load and allow to use thermometer at all.
I get a blank screen after I connect to the device. In Settings, I can see that the “HARDWARE BATTERTY LEVEL” is full but no temperature— or anything— displays.
Worked great prior to iOS12. Now it crashes immediately on open. Will delete my review once fixed. Otherwise I’m out $40 I spent on this thermometer.
Immediately crashes.
Since the iOS12 update, CarbonThermometer crashes constantly and that makes the thermometer useless. Please Fix
This constantly drops connection. Makes the hardware useless.
Lame
CarbonThermometer isn’t usable on iOS 12
Bluetooth pairing problems persist
Fix it please.
The "manual" is pathetic. What does "steady temperature" mean? Do I need low, normal, or high? Why does the default setting for lamb keep going back to medium even though I've set it to mid-rare? And the ambient temp seems to read low, too. All in all a little disappointing.
App works fine but seems like an after thought with the fantastic hardware. Still hasn’t been updated for new iPhone resolutions yet (using an XS Max). Dev, please consider adding features like URL schemes, Shortcuts support, and widgets as well. You would blow away Thermoworks products with features like that.
Everything works great. The temp is right on as I have verified with other probes multiple time.
But.........you need a temp/graph option for smoking meat. The option should be for a set your own temp from 180 to 205.
Then you get 5 stars.

Thanks for sending a replacement probe. Things are working well again.
When I first used CarbonThermometer it worked great! Now a few months and an IOS update later it sometimes loads. If it loads fully it will sometimes not crash during cooking. I love the UI and the actual equipment is sturdy. Pleas fix whatever bugs are in the software. I want to use this great thermometer.
