Did I switch off the oven? Instead of heading back home to check, simply take a look at the app. You will see and be able to control the status of your appliances straight away with immediate access to important functionalities, whether at home or on the go.

Be aware of all that’s important

Oh, the fridge door has been left open? When do I need to descale the coffee machine? How often should I clean the oven? Important notifications and reminders regarding maintenance and care will be sent to you automatically. And even if things don’t go to plan: use the support section to contact customer service or find helpful videos and articles.

Voice-control your appliances via Amazon Alexa, or Google Home

Dishwasher, dryer, or oven – depending on the appliance and task at hand, you will be recommended the ideal program and settings, whether it’s a pile of dirty dishes, a load of laundry, or the cheesecake recipe for your next family reunion. Based on your feedback, programs can even improve over time to better fit your needs. And with a Coffee Playlist you can conveniently fulfil your guests’ coffee requests to match that cheesecake.

Ratings and reviews

Edit: Since posting my last review, something must have updated. I'm now able to connect to my dishwasher much more quickly without issues. ---The app works great, when it works! It always struggles to connect to my device. If it could consistently connect to my dishwasher every time then I'd give it 5 stars! But I have to restart the app, manually turn on the dishwasher, and wait for 30-60 seconds for a connection. That makes it really frustrating, since that's the whole point of the app.

Update 4/21/25. after working fine since I last reported a problem, the same problem has resurfaced again. No sound or push notifications when fridge door is open. Only get notifications in the app but with no sound or push notification don't know that the door is open. Seems to happen when the app gets updated. IRRITATING! PLEASE FIX! ------- Sound notification stopped working a week ago for an open Bosch refrigerator door. Installed on a Samsung S23FE. Worked fine until last week. PLEASE FIX!

If you get a Bluetooth scan error when trying to pair your phone with the Bosch Series 800 washer or dryer, try factory resetting the appliance (NOT the network reset, a full factory reset -- the instructions are NOT in the manual): hold basic settings until you see "3", then navigate to the 7th pip (clockwise from 12) on the dial and it should say "res". Hold the play button and voila. First phone support rep was OK but not knowledgeable enough, second one solved my issue. App works.

What’s new

The updated Notification Center will provide easier access to appliance notifications.
