Ratings and reviews

Most worthless app I've downloaded. Doesn't do anything more than the washer itself does. Then once signed up and info given there's no way to go in and edit that info. I want to cancel this thing, and can't through the app. The Maytag site and app are not synchronized, so can't sign on there for more features. $1 month extra for nothing more than feeling like I have to pay extra to use that $1100 washer that's been repaired three times in the three months we've owned it. DON'T DO IT!

This app is very glitchy. Plus, I'm not really understanding why there is an app if you can't even start the wash with it. You still have to press the start button on the machine. Developers, do your research. Check out other companies apps. Get consumers input on their needs. Maytag, get with the average user for input. For example why in the world is there not a quick wash or rinse only option. Yes, there is a quick wash setting, but that is actually longer than the normal setting.

Downloaded the app and tried many times to get it to connect. Never could get it to work. Tried all the methods including the manual one. No dice. No mention of any fee anywhere I saw, except here. $0.99 per month per appliance? No way I'm paying that. Many other manufacturers have smart appliances and don't charge a monthly fee. Don't waste your time with this app.
