Could Be Way Better
This is the first app I ever felt the desperation to read the user manual. It is so unintuitive, it’s depressing. I actually feel like I have less control over my irrigation system with this app than I did with the manual control box. Apps usually make system management easier but I was shocked by how incredibly bad the user experience is on this app. One glaring issue is the ability to mass-toggle-off system settings. It would be nice to just simply toggle off a program, zone, or the whole system like on the manual box without having to go through a million clicks to toggle off every single adjustment setting on each program or zone. Navigating is so confusing and seems to lead you in circles and then when you final reach the feature you need, its nothing like you’d expect.Show less410er0r
Great controller, app is lacking feature
This version of the app lacks features that are basic to managing the irrigation. The controller status is hidden and does not present network status. The pretty icons for the zones are far too large, forcing one to scroll around. Weather forecast block is cute but too large. Irrigation operation history is merely a list of events rather than a calendar view, and is missing a schedule report. There is no way to download or print the irrigation settings and schedule in a spreadsheet format.
The prior app was more helpful, even as it aged. This version appears to be designed by a graphic artist who has no experience managing an irrigation system. The dumbed-down user experience suggests a corporate management that looks down its nose on the residential user.Show lesstheRealMophilly
Need ability to pause program etc
Thanks for quick recent bug fixes.
We really need the ability to pause. They currently running program such as when needing to test a zone, but you do not want to interrupt the current schedule which as of now gets canceled if you pause or stop it. Also, we really need a “playlist” of current and upcoming zones such as when starting a list of zones to be watered manually. Also, when a program is running, we need the ability to skip to the next zone, again this would be solved by having a “playlist” or run list much like when playing music. These are key missing features that would really improve usability.Show lessskiaddict
