Downloading wash cycles

My only interest in the smart thinq app is that I would like to create custom wash cycles. The washer does not have a handwash setting installed which is very useful and I have had on previous “duet” washer. Can you do that with the app? Is there a list of the custom cycles that are available for download? Nobody on discussions seems to be using this feature,, so I’m not sure it exists.

    Delicate would be the closes to the handwash cycle if it isn't available on your unit.

    Is it possible to have a wash cycle for the LG front Load Washer so that the machine takes additive from the dispenser, rinses and spins only ( Additive+Rinse +Spin cycle)?

    Does the LG front load washer take additive from dispenser during Speed-14 wash cycle?

    JamalofLG - looking for a list of downloadable tagon dryer cycles. There seems to be a very small list and nothing that includes steam or dress shirts. Do you have a full list for dryers? The list you mention above seems a lot longer than the one I see for my dryer. - Thanks!

    Please help me.
    I purchased my front loading LG washer last Valentines Day.  I do not have several of the wash cycles you listed in my “downloadable” section of the app. 
    My washer is performing poorly. Clothing washed with normal and water plus still come out with flakes of food particles on them.  I’ve watched the wash cycle in its entirety (yes I had better things to do but I was trying to figure out what on earth was going wrong) and it took 16 minutes for a pair of pants to be get wet entirely. I get that it’s job is to preserve water. But it still needs to get food particles or flakes of mud off of clothing. It is a washing machine after all.

    Hi Can you give me the details of the Delicate Cycle.

    For example:

    what is the washer / drum action and rest periods, I assume I can adjust water temp, spin speed, rinses etc but the washer/drum action is locked in.
