Ratings and reviews

The app requires permission to access contacts, phone, camera, and location. It does require the camera for linking to the washer and dryer, but there is no reason to need access to everything else. On top of that, if you deny it access to even one of these, it will close the app and not allow you to proceed any further until you allow it access to all it wants. I refused, so in the end I never did get to test if it will connect or how well it works and I won't. Uninstalled until resolved.

I just got these and given the layout of my house was happy to see that I could get an app for monitoring these machines. Unfortunately the permissions are so invasive, contacts, location all the time, record video, that I won't be using this app and am trying to find the module in the machine to disable it. I couldn't even get it to work after giving it all the invasion of my privacy.

Just got my new washer installed. Went to use the Smart Care option, but would not allow permission to access to my location, contact list, or the ability to record. So unfortunately, I will not be able to see anything in this app aside from a message telling me to go to settings and allow these permissions. Why does Samsung need to access my contact list, location, and have the ability to record me?
