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.

Recent reviews

This used to work well, but lately it takes FOREVER to log into the controller.

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.
