Bug fixes and performance improvements

User reviews

Too busy and occasionally unreliable

Display could do with a refresh as I find it a little busy. Recipes when using thermometer tend to get very cook - esp poultry. Loses connectivity quite often and needs the oven to be rebooted (using for Neff ovens and dishwasher)

Fails every time

Every time I try to connect, it fails. I do not recommend this dishwasher to anyone; stay away from it because the app is useless.

Not connecting

App consistently says dryer connecting but will not find it. Does tell me when the dryer’s finished so it is actually connected!

20th update but still not fixed !!

This is the 20th “Bugs and fixes” update for 2026 (plus one machine firmware update) and the persistent “Detergent Drawer Open” warning has still not been fixed, as was promised by the support team in 2025. It occurs every time the washing machine is turned on. Three physical parts were changed under warranty before they decided it was a software issue which they are now ignoring.

Usually works.

The only reason to use this app is for the smart start function that turns on the dishwasher when you have cheaper rates over night.

This app is bizarrely sporadic about whether it will allow you to do that or not. 80% of the time the option is there by default and it works. 20% of the time it tries to “smart start” with the current time, or just ignores you asking for “smart start” and just starts at the current time. Very frustrating.

A reminder notification would also be useful, like “you’ve usually turned your dishwasher on by this time, don’t forget”. I got a very terse response when I suggested that feature.
