Ratings and reviews

This app is horrible. I hate apps that force you to use a security protocol that you don't use, forcing you to change your entire network if you want to use their app. This is an app for washers, dryers, etc. I don't need nor do I want a password for my network when connecting to a damn appliance! Edit: You also need to physically re-enable remote start on the washer itself every single time the door is open. Making the app even more pointless.

It's ok, saves me stair time, but needs work. I rarely have connection issues -good thing. I can be mowing and see how much time is left on each machine via the app. If I want to wait for a commercial break to traverse the stairs, I can send the dryer into a new cycle. What I don't like is if a washer load is off balance, the machine doesn't send an alert to the app "need a little help here!" It just keeps trying to rebalance a load wasting gallons of water.

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!
