ThermoWorks App Icon

Download the free ThermoWorks app from either the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store.

Creating an account

Creating an account will give you full access to all the features the app has, like saving your cooks, sharing live sessions, and access to ThermoWorks Cloud.

When you begin using the ThermoWorks app, you will be prompted to log in. The options are:

  • Google
  • Apple ID
  • Email address
    • You’ll be asked to create a password. The password must contain at least 8 characters, one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter, and a number.
  • Anonymous login.
    • If you choose this option, you may only access current, live data in the app. You cannot save your sessions on either your smart device or to ThermoWorks Cloud.

Note: Your ThermoWorks app account is not connected to your ThermoWorks store account or the previous ThermoWorks BBQ app account.
