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.

One of the worst apps, it is extremely slow. Don't even get me started about trying to get your controller to connect to wifi, it is a freaking nightmare. Have a dedicated 2.4GHZ network and still won't connect. It was good for a few years, but now it refuses to connect even after resets clearing app, etc. I can't believe this company can't make a simple functioning app in 2026.

It's extremely slow to start the app, at least 1 min of wait and sometimes fails. If I connect on wifi in my home and go outside, connect to the cellular network, my connection to the controller is broken. I then have to close out the app and restart. Based on the 1.6 star review and how long this has been going on, I'm done with anything rain bird. My money will go to the company that cares about the performance of their product and the user experience.
