## Review summary

Summary: Users acknowledge that Home Connect can be useful for monitoring and controlling Bosch/Home Connect appliances across multiple devices when it connects. However, repeated outages of connectivity, frequent sign-in issues after updates, and a frustrating, non-intuitive UX dominate reviews. Key pain points include unreliable connections requiring repeated attempts, password resets after software updates, and the removal or poor handling of delay-start/scheduling features. Some positive notes remain about cross‑appliance control and maintenance alerts, but stability and usability gaps limit overall satisfaction.

### Pros

- Centralized control and monitoring of multiple Home Connect appliances in one app when the connection is active.
- Provides useful maintenance/status notifications (e.g., filter reminders, door-open alerts) that help manage appliances.
- Works across multiple appliances (dishwasher, refrigerator, oven, Thermador) for a unified experience when connected.

### Cons

- Unreliable connectivity: devices frequently disconnect and require many attempts to reconnect, often failing over Wi‑Fi or mesh networks.
- Login and account issues after updates: app logs you out, password resets are needed, and access can be lost after updates.
- Delay-start/scheduling is difficult: removal or poor implementation of delay-start; requires manual workflow or many taps; not intuitive.
- Poor UX and confusing interface: hard to navigate, too many steps for basic tasks, inconsistent features across updates.
- Updates can degrade experience or wipe data: updates sometimes reset settings or push unwanted changes/marketing.
