Very user friendly
Highly recommended.
Broken App
Unfortunately, the app crashes consistently after logging in with no ability to perform any functions. I’m using iPhone with iOS 26.3.1 which is well above the minimum required OS.
Rarely connects
1. Stand next to timer.
2. Connect to timer.
3. Delete app and reinstall.
4. Repeat 1-4
5. Return to store.

Needs improvement
The app starts off bad and gets worse with time. It does not even work now rendering my devices useless.
Horrible App
App in its current state just crashes. Won’t add water timers. Does nothing. If I could give 0 stars I would!
Needs improvement
It works, but it is frustrating when you tap valve 1 to program and you don’t realize it’s actually programming valve 4. It has a real bad habit of not opening the valve you selected.
App not connecting to devices
The app keeps on searching for devices even though they are paired for 2 years. Thanks to this bug, I am not able to change my water schedule/stop or start.
Bluetooth
I have this device for a month. I didn't know it needed to be within the 30 feet range to connect because it doesn't say on the package or in the instructions so no way I can check my watering if I'm not home. After about 3 weeks, always need to reconnect and after a month doesn't connect at all
Do not buy this it's not worth it

Connection and functionality
The Bluetooth has issues connecting at all time I can be standing 1 foot and it works fine I’ll walk 5 ft away and the connection drops every time, the manual buttons require to be pressed multiple times either slowly, quickly, with the water off or on to even work, haven’t even had the product for a full year and valve 2 has to be turned on manually then if the BT connection is even good as I’m standing 3 feet from it in my porch in order for it to stay on for the set program time, I am a care taker for a disabled veteran and am trying to grown the lawn they can’t manage on their own I shouldn’t have to keep working on these issues

Broken for 1 hose, 2 hose timers
Can no longer control 1 hose and 2 hose timers. Still works for 4 hose timers
Works fine - once you get used to it.
Setting up and guessing how to perform each function isn’t intuitive - but once over that hurdle - the app works fine. A improvements that would make it much better:
1. Tap on picture to go to that controller. Now it goes into the “edit name screen” and to go to the controller needs a press on a tiny little arrow.
2. Have very different look between “select controller” and “select valve” screens as it’s easy to get the navigation wrong.
But once you know it - you know where your error occurred.

No Bluetooth
Won’t connect right from the package. Junk.
App doesn’t work
First thing is app asks to change name—if you put in a name it goes into never ending search, & if you cancel, it does the same
The app works
Menu selection could be more intuitive. Some menu options like the ‘eco mode’ cannot be deciphered without the user manual. From the app menu alone it is not apparent that the watering and pause Settings are sub parameters of the eco mode. Likewise the settings button for timing by frequency vs day of the week setting button is easy to overlook after selecting between freq vs DoW. This aside, the old fashion handheld menu with a segment display and buttons was never intuitive to being with. This is an improvement over that. Especially if I don’t have to be crouching to set it up.

Crashes on iPhone 14 won’t work at all
App shows full Bluetooth signal but just crashes out if try to connect.
iPad works ok.
***Bluetooth only is very poor functionality. Impossible to change program on the fly when travelling.
Previous systems reliability has been dodgy. My confidence for this version is very concerning.

Poorly designed, but does work
I agree with other reviewers, the app does work so that earns some starts but it’s poorly designed and poorly laid out. Everything that you want to do is at least 5 different steps, the menus aren’t intuitive, and it takes forever to load every screen. It desperately needs an overhaul and more quick actions. I think it’s fair to assume if a user only has one device they’d want that device to load automatically? Obviously? But nope that’s an extra 2 clicks every single time you even open the app.

I DONT RECOMMEND THIS EVER
I don’t recommend this product to anyone. Device won’t connect to phone unless I stand right beside it outside my house. It keeps loosing connection. Since the wireless connection is over Bluetooth. Bad connectivity.
App needs a patch to fix glitches
Glitchy app with too many issues
POS
How do you keep selling these when they don’t work!!! MELNOR as a company is really screwed up!! You see these reviews but havnt done anything to resolve it!! Took mine back and was the best thing I’ve ever done!!
Pointless.
There’s no point in having an app that allows you to control your sprinkler systems remotely if you have to be close by in order for it to work. I need a refund!
