Certainly not! This thermometer was built to be rugged, durable, easy to use, and HIGHLY reliable.  WiFi and Bluetooth have short range, rely on additional equipment, are prone to break with software updates, and your thermometer becomes a paperweight when the manufacturer decides to move onto a new model and stops supporting your old model.  The XR-50 is a self contained unit that gives you everything you need and want in an everyday thermometer right out of the box!
