Flawless! I use all four channels for two underground systems, an overhead and a loose hose. Worked so well. I have a camera in the yard and could watch and verify functions, turning it on and off as weather demanded. Third season and still in love! ### 1/5 — Melnor RainCloud *2022-07-09, version 2.0.3* This app works on my MacBook Pro but won’t work on my iPhone 11. I called Apple and they were frustrated with the app Also. I contacted Melnor customer service and couldn’t solve the problem either. ### 1/5 — Useless *2022-06-15, version 2.0.3* The CEO of Melnor should be charged with fraud. The hub is unable to connect to their server much of the time. It crashes multiple times a day. Their server was down for an entire week not too long ago. This whole system is complete garbage. Customer support is unresponsive. This is nothing more than a very expensive manual valve. ### 2/5 — Frustrating *2022-06-14, version 2.0.3* Worked great the first time. Next use, so many problems with the valve unit consistently going off line. Shutting off when on manual mode mid water. ### 1/5 — App and website not working *2022-06-12* This is the second crash in less than a month. Totally unacceptable to not be able to control the device via the app or online. Of course, this is the most crucial time of the year for me with 95 temps in the forecast all week. I’ve tried to hang in but totally giving up that MELNOR will salvage this product and app. A real shame for such a major brand. ### 1/5 — Never works *2022-05-30, version 2.0.3* I’ll break it down…. 1. App never opens up correctly 2. Customer support grade would be a C 3. Currently, the app is t opening correctly with just a white screen. 4. The sprinkler units that go with this app are just as bad. In order to replace or repair, customer service wants me to provide receipts for units I bought 2 years ago (wth). ### 1/5 — 5 years between updates *2022-05-29, version 2.0.3* This app is utter garbage. Before they completely miss that they needed to renew their SSL, the app hadn’t been updated in five years. Just complete nonsense. ### 2/5 — App stopped working *2022-05-29, version 2.0.3* Same story as others; app just shows a white screen. Tried removing app and reinstalled, same story. At least the website is still working, for now anyway. ### 1/5 — Shameless company *2022-05-28, version 2.0.3* I bought the WiFi irrigation system just a year ago and it’s of no use now. The app shows a blank screen. This company is run by a bunch of crooks no one should buy any of their products ### 1/5 — Zero Stars if I could *2022-05-28* The product line is good in concept and abysmal with execution. The software was marginal however now it will not load at all on any device. One cannot manually program the timers without the app. One could log into their site, however, they come up as a security risk in both Safari and Chrome. The company allowed their certificate to expire. Customer service is non-existent. Was told that site was down but should be back that afternoon… that was a week ago. Now call customer service and I am put on hold for 15-20 mins and then told to leave a voice message. Trashing all the timers… sorry to polute the landfill. ## Frequently asked questions about Melnor RainCloud ### What does the Melnor RainCloud app do?
