### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-08-17*

I just installed my new LinkTap controller and started using the app. It is really well written. It’s very clear and simple, but also allows you to get deep and complex if you want.  Almost every option has an info button (little circle with an “i” in it) that produces a popup that describes the function and options. Everything powered on and just started working. Great job!!!!

### 5/5 — Great hardware

*2026-07-11*

I tried a number of other solutions, including b-hyve (which didn’t function at all remotely) and, while this app is a bit convoluted, it is relatively flexible, powerful, and (maybe most importantly) reliable. The hardware, as others have said, seems in an entirely different league than any other water timers I’ve tried.

### 5/5 — Linktap brilliant device

*2026-05-24, version 2.9.6*

I have lots of smart home devices and home assistant. One of my favourite smart devices is Linktap and the app is very good. Great purchase for the garden. You can add a cost for water used and it makes you realise you need to be judicious with water usage due to cost. Linktap does this for you

### 5/5 — Fantastic app

*2026-04-27, version 2.9.4*

While the user interface isn’t super intuitive, the functionality of this app is fantastic and along with the Smart water timer does everything I need!

### 5/5 — Brilliant system

*2025-12-26, version 2.9.0*

LinkTap app and the Q1 provide outstanding control, flexibility, and reliability to irrigation control. Easy to program, easy to set up. Recommended to friends. I cannot fault this brilliant system. 
Customer service is also excellent.

### 5/5 — Brilliant system

*2025-10-18, version 2.9.0*

LinkTap app and the Q1 provide outstanding control, flexibility, and reliability to irrigation control. Easy to program, easy to set up. Recommended to friends. Hard to find any fault with this brilliant system. 
Customer service (helping with delivery) was also excellent.

### 1/5 — UI needs a complete re-write

*2025-09-14, version 2.9.0*

Great hardware but the watering plan setup drives me nuts. This should be so simple. It is not in its’ current incarnation. How about at least some pre-defined templates to edit. Try harder.

### 5/5 — AU TOP

*2025-08-07, version 2.9.0*

application et matériel au top , je recommande à 200%
Réponse très rapide du SAV et solution de maintenance de suite 👍👍👍

### 5/5 — Don’t be put off by the reviews

*2025-08-04, version 2.9.0*

Hey there! I recently bought some fancy hardware, but before I installed it, I read the reviews and was a bit worried I might have made a big mistake. But guess what? I was totally wrong!

This app is absolutely brilliant! It’s got a high level of customisation, which means it can be a bit complex at times. Honestly, I think people these days are used to being spoon-fed interfaces, and they’re a bit disconnected from being able to read data sets without all those shiny buttons and fireworks. If you just want a simple on/off switch, you can get a cheap timer. But if you’re keen to get a precise amount of water in tagged zones using exactly what you need, along with weather data, then this app and the product are just what you need!

I love the real-time water flow and the reports of recent usage. It’s also really helpful to know when you’ve lost connection. And there are plenty of safeguards you can put in place so you don’t accidentally turn on the tap while you’re away. Overall, I’m really impressed with this app and the product.

### 5/5 — Such a good app!

*2025-07-23*

It's clunky but also super fast with zero animation and very powerful. For example you can do hierarchical linkage!
I would add two things: thumbnail per valve and drag and drop weekly calendar.
