Comments on Home Connect for Android

★★★★★ Eswaran · Jul 19, 2026

Good featured app to control & monitor home appliances from bosch like dishwasher.

★★★★★ robin tanner · Jul 21, 2026

Excellent that you have 6 extra programs including half load, rinse and an even more intensive program. Great to know when dishwasher is finished wherever I am

★★★★★ Lynford Walker · Jul 26, 2026

Awesome app for my Bosch dishwasher Biff and sadly now Biff 2. Works perfectly well and is great to set the dishwasher to come on at a specific time such as a cheap rate.

★★★★☆ Paul Dobson · Jul 13, 2026

Used to get dishwasher notifications for rinse aid and salt levels, but these have stopped for some reason, no longer get notifications on Alexa since updating to Alexa+.

★★☆☆☆ Martin Bønnelykke Jensen · Jul 20, 2026

Programmer never used an oven? The app is all about selling stuff, it's really not intuitive. Tried to start preheating the oven - found the oven clicked 'on'. The oven is now 'on' but is not heating or anything. You scroll down to "ADVANCED" to find "Control", you click way too many times to start it. After 1 second it tells you preheating is finished (which is not true). Turns out you have add a duration for the preheating - why?- how should I know how long it takes for the oven to preheat...

★☆☆☆☆ kro4mi · Jun 15, 2026

No connection to the home appliance no matter what.

★★☆☆☆ Dee Thomas · Jul 1, 2026

When it works, it's good, but I constantly have to re-shut the dishwasher door to make it connect properly and register the preset wash I have.

★☆☆☆☆ A D · Jul 5, 2026

Doesn't display liters when in US language. Not a simple action to start now a dishwasher when using smart start.

★★☆☆☆ Emil Teodorov · Aug 4, 2026

It is incredibly frustrating to pay a premium price for smart appliances only to have the core smart feature fail. The app is plagued with bugs regarding automation and device sync. Until Bosch fixes these severe connectivity issues via firmware updates, this app gets 2 stars. Do not buy these appliances if you expect seamless Hob-Hood automation.

Trust & Safety: The app requests a broad set of permissions (location, network state, Bluetooth, camera, microphone, NFC, notifications, boot completion, internet access, etc.) to enable remote control, real-time status updates, and cloud-based features. This aligns with its core functionality of managing and monitoring multiple appliances remotely and via voice assistants.
