### 1/5 — Crashes instantly on on ios16.5 stay far away

*2023-06-15, version 1.02*

No quality insurance in this piece of software
Crashes on ios16.5
No other way to use the melnor valves

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work any more

*2021-08-06, version 1.02*

No longer able to connect to wifi. Worked for a few years and now the whole system is useless.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2021-05-26*

Does not work with our iPhone X or newer. The app starts but it does not recognize the Wifi network. We needed to boot up our old iPhone 4S to get it to work. Without our 4S the whole unit would be useless.

### 1/5 — Can’t get the WiFi SSID to reconnect.

*2020-04-24*

It works great the first time setting it up. Trying to reconnect the WiFi this year and it doesn’t work. Very frustrating.

### 1/5 — Piece o crap

*2019-05-18, version 1.02*

Don’t work at all

### 1/5 — Useless.

*2019-05-06, version 1.02*

Just...useless.  Impossible to configure, and somehow Melnor’s support just keeps getting worse.

### 1/5 — Not working with iOS 12

*2019-04-16*

I had it configured a year ago, but no luck now with iPhone iOS 12.2. I had to use old iPad. Application needs compatibility update!!!

### 1/5 — In need of some work

*2018-08-02*

This app needs some work. Seems like this has potential to be a really great app, but it’s very difficult to use in it’s current state.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on iPhone X

*2018-07-03, version 1.02*

This sucks, it does nothing on iPhone 10.

### 2/5 — Needs work

*2017-07-10*

Idea is great. Execution is challenging. 

-Horrible setup process. ( I still need help if someone can call me)

-separate setup app from usage app

-no support available
