The app has options for starting or stopping the cleaning of an entire floor, plus spot or manual cleaning. It took us two tries to enter pairing mode, but that was partly because we were pressing the right front bumper as opposed to the right side bumper. Connecting the vacuum to the app and to our home network required us to push the selector button and the right bumper simultaneously, hold for 10 seconds, then power the vacuum back on to enter pairing mode.

The "Connected" in Neato Botvac D7 Connected means the bot works with the Neato app ( Android or iOS). Usually, it was successful, but more than once it became stuck between two legs of a kitchen chair. For the most part, it maneuvered easily around dining room chairs, but when it found itself in a tight spot, the bot would lift itself up on one wheel and dance around until it found a clear exit path. The D7's unique shape resulted in some interesting cleaning moves.
Once, it even fell off while the vacuum was cleaning.
The little brush must be removed when cleaning the main brush we were surprised by how easily it popped off and flew across the room. A five-spoke side brush sits between the main brush and left wheel and is comically small compared to the brushes on the Roomba i7+ and the Shark Ion Robot R85. Good thing we had removed all our other materials from the boxes that came originally with the robot from the manufacturer.Flip over the Botvac D7, and you'll find a rubber-and-bristle roller brush that runs the width of the bot, along with two rubber wheels and two smaller roller-ball wheels bringing up the rear. Disappointed to have lost our original packaging. Instead I got another box from another model which was not in such good condition as my original and also lacked the outer box. I expected to get my repaired robot back in my provided original boxes. The disappointment: We took particular care to ship our Neato in its original box and packaging, including the outer box that the robot's box was shipped to us in by the retailer. The resulting repairs were satisfactory and seem fair value for money. Also very good was the overall communications throughout the process.
