Ratings and reviews

No Longer Works - stuck on "Loading..." I see many other people also reporting this - when are you going to fix it??? In response to the developer telling me to update to the latest version on 03/03/25: it will now get past "Loading..." but when I attempt to change the watering frequency, it says there's a communication failure with the station and it will not make my requested changes. The app still needs repair. Update 030425 - App works again, thanks.

Sloooow to connect, if at all. If you forget your password it's either 7 steps, or 14 steps to reset it, so make sure you write it down. Stuck on "Broadcasting to controller..." for the last 10 minutes. This is very frustrating. 😡 Doesn't carry zone names to your other devices. So if you name your zones on your iPad, the names will not show up on your iPhone. You need to name them in each device as the names aren't saved on the Controller. 🙄

It's rare that I use this app and don't let out a slew of expletives. My controller is in an area that many other devices have ample signal, but it shows low signal. It takes a good 30+ seconds to connect once I open the app, and it nearly always hangs the connection if my screen goes off (for instance if I'm actively working on a zone that I just triggered). Logging back in often requires force-stopping the app, and waiting the 30+ seconds again, if it even will allow me to reconnect.
