Overall a plus, but needs improvement. Connection on startup is hit or miss. Once connected, it works great. A glaring missing feature is a permanent delay option, which is especially useful if your controller is outside or blocked by items stored in your garage. Now you can only delay up to 14 days, and have to remember to keep updating the delay. Would like to be able to enter a GPM for each zone for more accurate water use estimation and reporting. It's easy to get by reading water meter.

Worst software I have ever used. Extremely slow, always having issues with connections. Why can't you hire decent mobile developers and hardware teams and fix this once and for all. You don't have to retrieve the darn configuration everytime, use a hash or key and just check to see if it needs to pull it. And then just send what has changed. Christ it's not hard to do.

The app only connects to the controller less than half the time, very frustrating. When it does connect, it has to download the schedule every time, vs. storing the schedule in the app. It also does not have all the functionality of the controller. For example, you cannot do an unscheduled run all of your sprinkler stations with the app, have to go to the controller to use the "Water Now" feature (the app only allows you the water one station at a time). This app needs a major rewrite!
