BBQing is all about timing, and Grilltime stays on top of things so you don't have to. This summer BBQ app comes with a useful '[flip reminder](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-charcoal-grill)' that sends you a notification when it's time to flip those burgers. This way, you can spend more time enjoying a beer with your guests rather than hanging around the grill like a loner and waiting for those [burgers to cook](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/summer-of-smash-menu). The app even comes with a grilling guide, with tips for cooking times and temperatures for different types, sizes and doneness of meat. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 54% | Activity: 86% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Smart BBQ Apps:** Opportunity for developing apps that assist BBQ enthusiasts with timing and grilling techniques. - **Grilling Automation:** Opportunity for creating automated systems that monitor and control BBQ grills for optimal cooking. - **Personalized Grilling Guides:** Opportunity for customized grilling guides based on specific preferences and dietary restrictions. ### Who This Affects Most - **Mobile App Development:** Opportunity for developers to create innovative BBQ apps that enhance the grilling experience. - **Home Appliances:** Opportunity for appliance manufacturers to integrate smart technology into BBQ grills for improved convenience and precision. - **Culinary Education:** Opportunity for culinary institutions and independent experts to offer personalized grilling guides and courses for aspiring BBQ chefs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Air Fryer Outdoor Barbecues](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neevo-720-plus-smart-grill.md) - [Smart Ceramic Grill Upgrades](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ikamand-ii.md) - [AI-Powered Backyard Grills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seer-perfecta-grill.md) - [Compact Fan-Equipped BBQs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barbecue-nx-smart-grill.md) - [Wi-Fi Controlled Kamado Grills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auto-kamado.md) - [Loyalty-Focused BBQ Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sonnys-bbq.md) - [High-Tech Gas Grills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2022-genesis-grill.md) - [Smart-Enabled Electric Grills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/current-model-g-dualzone-electric-grill.md) - [AI-Powered Grilling Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grill-x.md)
