National BBQ and Burger Month
Happy National BBQ and burger month to the grillers, roasters, smokers, and all food-fanatics out there! Eat well and post all your food porn pics! #BBQ #happybelly #foodlife Is it a coincidence the hash tag looks like grill marks? We think not.
Production Update
We’ve been very busy bees! Over the past 3 weeks, during our visit with our supplier in Taiwan, we finalized the pilot production plans, ordered the parts from our vendors, built production test rigs and jigs, and reviewed packaging samples. With that said, we have officially begun the Pilot Production phase!
Test Results: Yum!
We expect to receive all the pieces early June and begin assembly immediately after. Since pilot production units represent the final version of MEATER, they will go through our engineering and test case gauntlet again, including cases inspired by our backers. When the results of those tests go well, we will move quickly into mass production. Our shipping estimate is now closer to late July/early August so don’t pack up your BBQ too early this summer. But if you’re grill heads like us, BBQ season is all year round.
The android and iOS apps are both +91.438% complete with the majority of the work left for debugging and fine tuning. MEATER Link is operational and we will continue to polish the code to ensure data transmission and connection is robust and stable. Although MEATER Cloud is still under development, we are making significant progress in the code and will provide an update on its status very soon.
Look at the pretty colors...
As we get closer to summer, the heat is on to finish MEATER and as always, we will continue to push forward and keep everyone up to date with our progress. Thank you again for your patience, love, and support!
Keep cool, stay in school!

Earth Day
Today we celebrate the mother we share - Mother Earth! We raise awareness today to conserve everyday - to recycle when possible, take public transportation when available, and save our resources to provide a sustainable planet for future generations to come. We'd like to think that when MEATER arrives, all your food will be cooked to perfection and will no longer be generating overcooked and unwanted food waste!
The Light At The End Of The Tunnel
We see it so clearly! We are busy as ever testing and debugging both the MEATER hardware and software.
Engine(ering) engine(ering) number 9...
Teemu is currently at the factory, prepping the pilot production run to ensure the build runs smoothly. Once pilot production is completed and the results “meat” our expectations, we’ll be moving towards mass production. We’ll let you know of the results and keep you updated as always.
Last time you saw the MEATER Block samples, this time we want to show you the MEATER charger samples from our supplier.
Charged with positivity!
It doesn’t look too different from before but a lot has changed internally. We had to re-design parts of the MEATER hardware to build the product at higher volumes and to implement newer and better components.
We are energized about the results of our tests so far and can’t wait to show you more of the finalized product. The teaser video with Teemu from our last update was just a taste. There will be more media coming to whet your appetite and get you giggling with excitement!
Thank you again for the love and support!
Let the happy roll,

Time To Cook
No matter the weather, it doesn’t stop Teemu from cooking up a steak using the latest build of the MEATER hardware. Check out his cook using the reverse sear method.
We’re sure this teaser video has gotten you even more excited about getting your cook on when we start shipping the product in July. Until then, we'll continue with more MEATER content to keep up the good feels.
So Close We Can Taste It
Software and hardware development overseas (UK and Taiwan) is running along in full force and we’re almost ready to do a pilot production run and get certification started. There are just a few more electrical and mechanical tests we need to do and we’re good to push forward.
Once pilot production is completed and the results are exceptional, we will move quickly to get your MEATERs produced since we’ve already purchased all the long lead time parts earlier this year! If anything changes, as always, you will be the first to know.
Get pumped for another video in a few weeks because we have completed the Ice Dip stretch goal. We can’t wait for you all to see how much we appreciate your love and support!
It's "only" -12°C they say...

Spring Into Sunshine
Flowers are blooming, students are on spring break, the Easter Bunny is taking a chocolate bath, and colors all around are alive and vibrant. Get your 10 minutes of sunlight for a boost in Vitamin D then go out and buy a bouquet of daffodils for a loved one! =)
Linking pieces together
As we continue to work towards our July shipping date, like Tetris, many pieces are falling into place! During the early stages of development, parts of MEATER were created by numerous hardware and software engineers in parallel. Each piece on their own were already incredible; But seeing everything working together makes us giddy with excitement. We can’t wait to release MEATER and get everyone smiling with bellies full of meat.
We’re proud to announce MEATER Link, a feature to extend your wireless range, is operational =) The picture below shows WiFi communication to the Android MEATER app.
A work in progress: MEATER Linked!
The computer, acting as the MEATER Link host (very soon to be your MEATER Block or smart device), is sending probe information to the MEATER app. This is just one of the ways we are testing the MEATER app features and the communication protocols over Bluetooth and WiFi. We’ll continue hammering away to make sure the MEATER Link system is robust and ensure you’ll always know the status of your cook over long distances.
Our best to you,
Joseph, Teemu and the Apption Labs Team

We thought our Meater backers might find this useful as we all look to "beef" up our gourmet kitchen accessories at home. The team at Field Company has created a skillet that is smoother, lighter, and is a reimagined version of the classic cast iron pan. Sear on!

Marching On
Hi everybody! Another month has flown by as we get closer and closer to reaching our goals, tackling each objective at a time. Cheers to those celebrating St. Patrick's Day, which should be all of you because I hear "Everybody's Irish on March 17"!
So Fresh and So Clean
As if they were creating the next Facebook, the Apption Labs programmers have been working in a coding trance to write, test, and debug the MEATER app software. We have been holding off on showing new screens for the sake of ensuring our design and interface remain fresh and unique to MEATER, but here’s a little sneak peak of the latest iteration of the main screen. We know it doesn’t reveal too much, but it should give you an idea of how much work we’ve put into the design to polish and modernize the user interface. Enjoy the fresh screen below!
As things currently stand in terms of hardware and software, we are still on track for a July delivery. We’ll keep our stash of Redbulls and Slimjims fully stocked and keep cracking the figurative whip. As always, thank you so much and we’ll keep you up to date as we reach development and production milestones. In the meantime, enjoy a nice bowl of warm soup because this is coming…
Cannon baaaall!
Brrrrrrrrrrrrr,
