All you can do is set some preferences and start or stop.
In my opinion the app needs
1. Battery status
2. Spot cleaning mode. A self generated map that you can select areas for it to go clean.
3. Errors and issues. Like bin status, reason for errors etc.
4. More customizable cleaning options. Like twice or three times per day. Active household and would like more regular cleanings
5. Ability with map to tell it not to clean area as exclusion or period of time. Better than moving barriers around.
Thank you for the Roomba its picked up more dust and dirt than I would have thought considering how much we clean.
