Ratings and reviews

App puts you through heck having you search for non-existent passwords on labels that have something called a UPD ID that it never asks for and if you follow a link to that regard, it just starts the process over. It also asks you to press a couple non-existent buttons on the unit to get into the Wi-Fi Connect mode; there's a button for that that you hold for 3 seconds. Not a well thought out app at all. Hope this isn't an indication of the usefulness of connecting the dishwasher to the Wi-Fi.

I love having the possibility of using this app to control the A/C and scheduling the different on/off times... but it's extremely frustrating how slow the app takes to open every single time I try to open it. If I'm lucky it takes 5min to wait for it to open.. most times it just crashes. I keep going to the app store in hopes there's a new update available that takes care of this, but I'm let down every time. PLEASE FIX THIS!!

Changed review to a higher rating. Still has flaws like the AI screen coming up EVERY time you open it. And it isn't the app that does this, but every time you accidentally bump up against the unit, you cancel the cycle. Must keep location services running all the time. Constant nagging about empty detergent. I use powder so I set it to "OFF" and I KNOW it's empty and I WANT it off!!!! Yet purposely setting it to "OFF" begins a constant damn nagging process every time you use it and during use.
