User Reviews

Users praise remote smartphone control and easy Link2 setup, but repeatedly report stability and UX problems: poor, slow connections; an outdated interface; frequent login/password issues; and updates that don’t port old configurations or lose data. Overall sentiment is negative despite the core value of remote control.

Pros

Remote control of the sprinkler system via smartphone.
Link2 WiFi module enables easy WiFi setup and control.
Ability to control the system from anywhere (home or away).
Overall convenience of remote monitoring and adjustments.

Cons

Frequent connectivity issues: long to connect, unstable connections, and timeouts.
Outdated, non-intuitive, and clunky UI/UX; not very user-friendly.
Login/logout problems and password reset failures.
Updates not porting existing systems and causing loss of zone names or other data.
General reliability concerns including glitches and slow performance.

Easily the worst commercial app I have ever used. It only connects to my controller about half the time and even when it does it takes 2-3 minutes to connect and load the interface. It’s laughable how slow it is. I’d switch back to a Rachio if they made a controller that was capable of managing enough stations. Truly the worst app I’ve ever used.

While connection strength is listed as strong, every interaction requires an achingly slow update. The initial connection takes ~5min waiting to connect, if it does at all. There is nothing smart about this - Same manual options but now I can do it after taking 5-10min to connect + navigate to the zone and manually turn sprinklers on/off. Woof. Feels like a scam at $100 for the add-on module. Went and bought an Oto sprinkler instead.
