    I have a microwave/air fryer/convection combo that I can’t use unless I install a phone app. It came with the apartment. It has only a few “buttons” on its face. The UI is almost completely non-intuitive, but the app makes it easy. Every time I bake bread I fight the urge to blow my brains out as I navigate to the app. I have become that which I mocked.

      I can’t believe this is true. Show pictures and link to the vendor. I wanna see this for myself.

        So I’ve just had a look out of curiosity and every single result for smart microwave (there’s not that many) has buttons on its face as well.
