The good news: Whirlpool is a huge company, and KitchenAid appliances work as normal appliances without the app.
The bad news: Remote control and alerts depend on the app and the company’s cloud.

- Treat the app as a bonus: the appliance works on its own.
- Keep the app updated, since appliance features change through it.
