User Reviews

Users appreciate the convenience of remotely controlling their Rain Bird sprinkler systems and responsive customer support. However, many report persistent connectivity problems, especially on Android devices, along with a clunky and unintuitive interface. Frequent app bugs cause programmed watering schedules to become corrupted, and calendar and manual watering controls are often unreliable or hard to use. Despite its potential and hardware quality, the app's inconsistent performance and usability issues frustrate users.

Pros

Provides remote control over sprinklers, including scheduling and manual watering.
Customer support is responsive and attempts to help with reported bugs and issues.
App works well when connection and compatibility issues are resolved.
Useful for troubleshooting irrigation zones and adjusting watering schedules.
Allows control from different locations, including remotely when away from home.

Cons

Frequent connectivity issues between app and controller, especially with Wi-Fi modules and Android devices.
App interface is clunky, unintuitive, and difficult to navigate for many users.
App bugs corrupt programmed watering schedules, especially cyclic programs and seasonal adjustments.
Slow and unreliable real-time updates and calendar display problems leading to incorrect watering events visualization.
Manual controls and time setting features are difficult to use and sometimes unresponsive.

Pathetic App for a Big Name Brand. Rainbird Corporation - you have a ONE POINT SIX average rating on the Google Play Store - why don't you fix this? Because people have already bought your product and thus you don't care because you aren't getting any new revenue? I DREAD making updates in this terrible app, but I need to so I waste about 20 minutes using this horrible app to accomplish something that should take about 2 minutes. Fix it. Terrible.

Very unstable, refuses to connect with the controller quite often. Also, please change the way the date is handled. Currently, it defaults to January 2011 every time we lose power and I have to scroll 15 years month by month to get to the current date.
