### 5/5 — Bad reviews are old

*2025-09-19, version 2.0.586*

Galcon re-wrote this a few years ago and it’s very good now. Thanks for the effort, Galcon!

### 5/5 — App is a major upgrade over manual programming

*2024-05-03*

This is my third Galcon timer, due to it’s ’timing in seconds’ feature that allows me to run my nursery’s misting system for 5 seconds every five minutes from 9am to 5pm. I’ve been using them for four years in my small commercial nursery.

The first timer lasted almost 3 years before dying. The second was a factory replacement because the first one died while under warranty. Had it 6 months when an employee left it in a location where it got dunked in water and died. So I upgraded to the six zone timer with Bluetooth this spring. I use these timers from April thru September and then store them inside over the winter. 

For all y’all complaining about the app, clearly you have never programmed the timer by hand. I dread programming this timer or changing settings by hand. It’s just a small screen and hard to find the settings I need. Compared to that, the app is fantastic! I had four zones and multiple start times programmed in about five minutes. Do I care that I have to be standing in front of the timer to connect? Heck no. I need to be looking at my manifold and valve labels to remember which valve controls which zone anyways. For the commercial grower, this works great. It was also easy to manually trigger a zone from the app to run for 2 minutes, giving me ample time to verify that I had my sprinklers set correctly. Never had to walk back to the timer to turn that zone off when I was done.

### 5/5 — Works a treat

*2023-09-25, version 2.0.586*

Easy to initially pair with iPhone app and set up time schedule. Others have complained you have to stand right next to the unit for the app to work and I agree this is the case however making changed via your phone app is much more convenient than squatting down and peering at a small display. Bought off eBay.

### 1/5 — Bluetooth not working

*2022-10-09, version 2.0.565*

Cannot paired after 1 over years , battery been changed, pls help

### 1/5 — Blue Tooth Is A Fail

*2022-07-26*

The whole idea of having a blue tooth timer is to be able to turn the program on or off or to turn it on for an extra run. The only consistency is it’s failure to connect. ☹️☹️☹️

### 1/5 — Useless App

*2021-05-24, version 2.0.565*

What is the point of having an app when the app will only connect when you are standing right next to the controller! Useless!

### 1/5 — Bluetooth range is useless. Less than 1m!

*2021-01-04, version 2.0.565*

Cant sit on my deck over the tap unit and connect. Seems 5m is too far! I have to stand over the tap fir the app to connect.  Might as well just use the tap units buttons.

### 5/5 — Fabulous!!

*2020-10-19, version 2.0.563*

Have owned for 11mnths & just bought a 2nd one. It’s so simple to operate via the app & has never failed!!  Plus I've just updated app & am impressed they’ve included extra items such as the ‘rain off’ time  & the manual on time. Btw my Bluetooth works only if I’m in direct sight of it, but that’s fine for me. The price i paid was AUD$88 from eBay.

### 1/5 — No longer connects

*2020-09-27*

The app no longer senses my controller, and no apparent way to get any support.

### 1/5 — Lost all my timers!!!

*2020-09-23, version 2.0.563*

Not sure if it happened with the update but I had 15 timers paired and they’re all gone!!
