| We purchased a brand new tumble dryer. Tumbly is all settled in. First use fine started up and dried a load of washing. Second and third use is bit more difficult as it is a slide start wouldn't go on. Hubby had no trouble. Took me nearly an hour to start it up. Looking through the instruction I see they have an app. So went through the rigmerole to download the app, bearing in mind I cannot even answer my super duper mobile. Took me over half an hour to pick up the app from the antenna. Hey ho I can now start my dryer from my app. What a performance |

| I've never used any household item like that before Goldie. Does setting it up involve using a password? |

I got it off play store Mart, via Google play. I had to open another darned email account. There is an antenna on the tumble dryer and you put your phone up to a thing on the front called one touch. It then automatically sets up the programme. I have read up on not keen as it can apparently listen in on you. Sounds ridiculous I know. I have taken the app off and managed to start it today. Our grandson thinks I am so uncool :;smile: |

| Why on earth would anyone need a domestic appliance that you operate via your phone.
The only reason I can see is that those with a Hotpoint Tumble Drier might want to operate it from a mile away in case it catches fire. ----------------------------------------- This post may contain controversial personal opinion, humour, ironic comment or sarcasm.

I just wanted one that just switched on and off. I must be jinxed as I never even noticed when viewing the product. I did like my keyless ignition on my Auris though :;smile: |

:;smile: It must have been quite a surprise when you discovered the phone could operate the tumble drier. I wonder if it can phone you to say "I have finished my programme but the towels need a bit more drying time. Please restart me". :) |
