## Review summary

Reviewers commonly praise Netro for reliable operation, simple setup, and good weather-data integration from multiple providers. However, pervasive issues drag down the experience: frequent crashes, repeated login prompts, a redesigned, confusing UI that obscures manual controls, lack of watering alerts, and harder manual activation of zones. Overall, stability and UX improvements, plus better notifications, would address the most cited pain points while preserving the solid core features.

### Pros

- Works well and reliable performance
- Easy to set up
- Weather data integration with multiple providers (PWS) and data accuracy

### Cons

- App stability issues: crashes and freezing (spinning dots) especially when changing settings or opening the app
- Frequent login/authentication prompts requiring re-logging each time
- Confusing, redesigned UI/UX that hides or moves core controls (manual mode, zone status) and makes it hard to tell which zone is running
- Lack of push notifications for watering events (start/stop alerts)
- Difficult manual control / running zones due to new app layout
