User reviews

The functions are disappointing at best, not as useful as possible or implied, when working. E.g Bluetooth range only, not when on way home. So what's a point when you can always manually anything. Then it's clunky and I can see why people would say it doesn't work, not for them. Isn't user friendly. Seems primarily a data scraping operation, dread to think what they're doing with that. Shouldn't half arse things like this or people will be duly suspicious.

Absolutely useless. App won't connect to washing machine, even though I can see it if I manually search for Bluetooth. I've contacted their support and had no useful help. In my mind, it makes the device I bought falsely advertised as I can't access any me features without the app. Awful.
