I outfitted my house with all the newest appliances in 2013 that Samsung had to offer, the apps were glitchy at best. Recently I went to relook at the apps and found that they aren’t even available anymore for the models of appliances that I still own. They figure you’ll spend $25k on appliances then when they changes all the apps and make them obsolete then you will just rebuy all the appliances so you can use the new app they offer. Um no. These are the last Samsung products that I will buy. Over the years I’ve had many and they don’t support any of their earlier products. You can’t find the parts to fix them, you get no support at all. I would rather buy from any other company than this one, and let me tell you, my whole house is covered head to toe with their products. As each issue arises with each one, I replace it with a non Samsung brand. Just because a model is an older one shouldn’t mean that the company who made that model should abandon it. The products don’t last, then when you need to fix them the parts have become obsolete, then when you try to get support it’s a joke because there isn’t any. They just send you in circles instead of telling you they can’t help you.

So I spent over 20k decking my house out in all the “latest and greatest” Samsung smart appliances. I wish I had read these reviews first because literally none of it works I have a fridge, range, hood scoop vent, washer and dryer and nothing connects properly - I have 5 different Samsung apps all of which require accessible sign ins (almost every time I change screens) and I can’t get anything accept the driver to connect. The range temporarily from time to time but washer and dryer and hood vent never have waste of 25k

Just for the record, I AM able to sucessfully connect my devices to both my washer and dryer. The app still gets only one star, as it works so poorly, it's frustrating. None of the controls actually work, and while the timer does display, it never alarms, regardless of the settings I choose. The one star is for what appears to be great potential. If only it did what it purports to. Did I mention it 'forgets' the WiFi connection on a regular basis?

I was very impressed at how the app worked in combination with the customer service staff to resolve my problem without the need for a repairman. The app made the situation much easier to navigate.
