Held back by amature execution and poor programing

The Ember mug is a great concept. And when it works. It really lives up to the idea.
But unfortunately this mug suffers from tremendously incompitent software. This cup worked on day one, but every day afterwards we could never get it to work. The app wouldn't open anymore. Even reinstalling it would not solve the problem. The mug unpaired itself. It turned this great birthday present into just a normal cup.
Upon looking at the Google play store reviews for the companion app (which you need for the heating to work) you'd find a 1 star rating with thousands of people having the same issues I was.
Cannot reccomend until the software is fixed.

They seem to have fixed the battery issue, and it has great app integration. We had the original thermos woth the plastic lid that melted. This is great. It keeps my wife’s focce and tea at the right temp, and doesnt doe in 30 mins.

Easy for my mom to use after the app was installed. Heats to the right temperature and eliminates the burnt coffee on the stove.

Great idea in theory, however after a couple of weeks we now have to reset the Bluetooth connection everytime we use it and the return policy ended. 20 days into owning this and it's just a headache.

The cup cooled the coffee off after it came from the coffe pot. My wifes ideal coffe drinking temperature and the cups capabilities were not compatible. Great for brewing tea but not if you like drinking piping hot coffee.

Hi there, thanks for the review and feedback. Sorry to here that the max tempurature did not work out for you wife. When it comes down to it, we wanted to make a product that not only works properly but also lasts between 1-2 hours. In future versions, technology will improve, and we will continue to improve! Through test studies, a majority of the customers enjoy their teas and coffee no hotter than 145°F. BUT now that the Ember is out in the wild, we can take this feedback to make future updates.
We do appreciate your valued feedback and hope you and your wife can still enjoy the Ember drinking experience.

I got the v1 of this mug for my mom for Mother's Day, and she seemed to enjoy it so much that she got me the v2 for Christmas. This mug is amazing. There are a lot of complaints on the app that they've had trouble maintaining connection with the mug in order to control it, but thus far I've had no problems whatsoever. The commenters may be talking about the previous version of the mug. I used to love to drink tea, but I usually had it on my desk while playing games on my PC and sometimes I would get so focused on what I'm playing I would completely forget about my tea until fifteen minutes later. By then it was cooled down and unpleasant, and I was sick of having to microwave my tea over and over.
This mug has proven to be a HUGE convenience. I'm drinking two cups of tea a day again and I'm so happy to be back in the habit. I can sit at my computer for hours and drink the same cup of tea without getting up every 20 minutes to microwave it. It stays at the perfect temperature I enjoy my drinks at (anywhere between 130 and 135 degrees, if anyone who's looking to buy wants a ballpark of a good temp), and the app has a built in timer for steeping. One of the best things about the app is that it tracks the temperature of your drink and tells you when it's reached your desired setting, so I never have to burn my tongue again trying to gauge if it's ready to drink.
I'd recommend this to anyone who drinks a hot beverage on the regular at home. The only downside is that I have so many cute mugs at my house, and I never use them anymore because this mug is so top notch.

Love Ember products. They are a bit pricey. Would enjoy purchasing more if the price was more reasonable.
