### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-07-12, version 1.25*

As soon as we set up the app, I was able to change the pump, speed and monitor other processes as designed. Within a few days, I can sit and change a pump speed, but nothing changes at the pump.  Tonight we had a low water situation, and our pumps were cavitating, and my wife asked me to try to shut it off from work, but I was unable to. What’s the point of having the app if it doesn’t work?

### 1/5 — Sick of this system

*2026-02-13, version 1.25*

I’ve lights installed in my pond and they have barely worked since install from faulty lights, to it dropping out, hard resets and now I can’t even connect a device despite it appearing. I’ve purchased an extender despite my signal strength being fine when when tested, replaced the controller, the faulty lights were apparently replaced and in 3 years they’ve worked for maybe 2 months all up.

### 5/5 — Needs a temp badge

*2025-11-11, version 1.25*

I only use this to see the temp at the bottom of my pond.  Once I positioned the device where i had decent enough signal it has been great.  I will it had a badge on the app icon that showed the temp like the number of emails you have on the icon.  Then I wouldn’t have to open the app at all.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2025-08-21, version 1.25*

Have tried for two days to connect my smart control device but have been unsuccessful. I even bought a new 2.4 Ghz modem but it failed. They force us to buy the remote controller device. Why have this app then??

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-04-05, version 1.25*

Cannot get the app to pair at all. I’ve watched all the available vids and non provide instruction. Paid a lot for a water feature and the remote app is basically useless as it now stands.

### 4/5 — Does what I need to monitor temp

*2025-03-30, version 1.25*

I’m only using this in a basic way to keep track of pond temperatures, can’t speak to the more advanced features.  It has been working well for me for a couple weeks now, easy and convenient.

### 5/5 — Easy Setup

*2024-09-28, version 1.25*

First try and no issues. Aquascape makes great products and this is not exception. Next up, I’d like to find a way to connect this to Apple Homekit.

### 5/5 — The application works well, but definitely not screen reader friendly

*2024-09-12, version 1.25*

It does not work well at all, using voiceover, after screen reader in Apple devices. When I called Technical Support, they told me the best option would be to use Amazon echo devices to control. Which I definitely try to stay away from the Amazon ecosystem, and have invested in the Apple ecosystem. Perhaps this could be part of some software upgrade to make it more accessible.

### 1/5 — WiFi system does not reach

*2024-08-28, version 1.25*

Home is on acre lot. WiFi from house does not reach pond. Therefore, useless.

### 2/5 — Too much hype…not enough function

*2024-06-03, version 1.25*

So I’ve had this app for a couple years now to control the pump. It will control the pump speed well, and you can put in automations and such, so it’s not bad. Recently I bought the ‘smart’ dosing system for my pond, and this where I get annoyed. The app will not ‘change’ any of the settings on the dosing system at all. When you set up the app for the dosing system, it asks you how big (in gallons) is the pond? Then it asks what treatment(s) are in the dosing system and their size. If you’re not dosing the pond correctly for its size, the app will tell you, but it won’t tell you what the RIGHT dose is (had to go back to the face of old system to figure that out). You also have to make the dosing adjustment at the device itself, can’t do it with the app. The app claims it will alert you when chems are 90% depleted, but if you’ve been running dosing systems for awhile, you already know how long a chem bag lasts for your pond. In short, Aquascape needs to improve how ‘smart’ some of these products are. If it can’t be ADJUSTED by the app, then it’s not really ‘smart’ at all.
