Is Samsung's iOS App for Controling Samsung Washing Machines Accessible?

I have been using the smart home app for a few weeks now, you can change to about 5 or so of the cycles, but after that voiceover doesn't select other cycles lower in the list. So its not perfect but is useable.

I'm not an iOS user, but I'm wondering if perhaps Samsung has a Mac app as well? If so how is the accessibility? Some of my neighbors are wondering the same thing. Sadly we recently had to bid our washer and dryer of about 11 years a fond farewell, and the machines that were purchased for my building are both Samsung. Long story short, they are not terribly accessible. They do play tones to indicate the various settings, but the tones are of the same pitch etc. Fortunately the buttons are all raised though, and there are no touch screens to speak of on these machines. I took a Braille label maker down and with help from 2 sighted tutors, labeled some things on the machines but still one of them or one of my neighbors has to help start the clothes once I put them all in the washer. I recently took a look at http://www.afb.org/tech , and while the news regarding access to various home appliances is good it could definitely be better. I suppose the reason Samsung machines were chosen as opposed to some other manufacturer's machines for my building, was that this company had a particularly good deal or something. Anyway, enough of my rambling. I'm just wondering if anybody knows of a Mac app for Samsung.

I'm not sure about the app but maybe you could write them and get some assistance? I would hope it would work especially if it's one of the ones that the lid is blowing off of it and causing issues.

I have a Samsung washer and the app is called smarthome.
I can say that accessibility is going down, every update is more difficult to use.
I'm really angry about this, because I bought a washer that costs about... 800€, and now I can't use it because Samsung decided to change buttons and controls.
I wrote about 2 months ago, the replied to me:
"ok,. we will improve accessibility".
But what happened? Accessibility is terrible now.

There is also a dedicated app for washer on the appstore, but it is for old models, now they decide to implement all in smarthome.

Hello Everyone. About a year ago, I also had to replace my washer and dryer. When looking at the Sangsung line up, I seen they had two versions, those that use an iOS app and those that do not. Since I couldn't demo the app in the store, I chose to go with the Sangsung washer and dryer that doesn't use an app at all. However, I couldn't be more please with my purchase. I do not remember what the WiFi panel version looked like, but on mine, there is a central flat panel, where everything is displayed. Then along the left-hand and righthand sides of the panel,. there are four rectangular buttons, which are divided with a horizontal groove. Along the bottom of the panel there are three additional buttons, which are divided by a vertical, raised dashThese buttons do not physically move, but beep when touched. . There is one large knob, which beeps when turned. There is no arrow, dot, bump or other demarcation symbol on the knob or the dial around it. There is a power and start button to the right that are more treditional in nature. The washer and dryer button layouts are identical.

To navigate each button, without activating it until you have located the button of choice, simply trail your finger along the outside edge of the buttons. You can feel the changes in the buttons but not activate it, until you have located the option you need.

You can create a My Cycle for each unit. For the washer, I created a cycle for heavy bedding. For the dryer, I created a long dry time, hot temperature cycle.

All I did was use a friend and created a cheat sheet. I just took some notes for what the buttons are and I used a clockface description for the knob, with the default being at 12:00. Then one click to the right is 1:00, etc.

It should be noted that, if you lose power, you do not lose your preset My Cycle settings. Also, if you don't know what choices you have made because you bumped a button accidentally, simply power down the system and start fresh.

If you would like a copy of my buttons list, I would be glad to share it. Most probably the labels might be slightly different than mine because of a newer model, but some slight adjustments in the notes should work for your model.

Despite everything going app controlled, with just a little assistance from a friend and I'm using a completely touch screen unit as if it had all our beloved knobs and buttons.

Let me know if I can help.

We recently got a Maytag washer that has no touch screen. It has knobs for the water temperature, and wash options. I don't recall the model, but it was billed as "commercial grade." It was about 1000 US Dollars, so it was not cheap, but I like knowing I can use it without worrying about app accessibility.

Hello Brian. I purchased this front loader set in 2018. I'm sure the model has been updated; however, if you present these numbers to your rep, they should be able to find the updated version. I thought it was only a year ago but my checkbook showed differently. Didn't realize how long it's been. LOL
