MyDolphin Plus lets owners of a Dolphin robotic pool cleaner run the machine from a phone over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. MaytronicsApps makes it as the companion to the robot, with timer and cleaning modes, Siri voice control and a command that sends the cleaner up to the surface for easy pickup.
Who needs a Dolphin robot first
The app has no use without a compatible robot. It pairs with a pool cleaner that connects over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, so it fits people who already own one of those models.
The developer says some features vary between Dolphin models. Check what your own robot supports before expecting every control listed here.
Timers, Siri and the LED show in practice
The central job is sending the robot out to clean and telling it when to stop. Because of the Wi-Fi link, you can do this from anywhere at any time, not only beside the pool.
You can set a timer and pick cleaning modes. Siri voice control is included too, which suits starting a cycle without opening the app.
There is a command to bring the robot up to the surface so you can lift it out easily. You can also give the robot a name, drive it around manually for fun, and create an underwater LED show.
Free, ad-free, but tied to hardware
MyDolphin Plus costs nothing, carries no ads and has no in-app purchases. Its content rating is Everyone.
The real catch is the hardware. It is built to pair with a Dolphin robotic pool cleaner over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, so without one there is little to do in it. The version number also varies by device.
