I mean it’s okay and at least it isn’t super China, but I would expect some better historical data and some connections to other brand watering devices like orbit or rainbird at the very least. It’s pretty good for ultra dry climates, but it could be better. ### 2/5 — credenziali perse *2025-08-31, version 3.4.0* ogni volta che si apre l’app bisogna riscrivere user e password, non rimangono memorizzate ### 4/5 — Funciona muy bien, pero echo en falta flexibilidad *2025-08-23, version 3.4.0* Funciona muy bien. Permite configurar zonas con fotos y ajustar riegos fácilmente. Hace lo que se le pide. Sin embargo, echo en falta más flexibilidad: (1) poder programar 1.5 minutos en vez de 1 o 2 (diferencia en consumo a lo largo del año); (2) poder regar simultáneamente varias zonas, en vez de ir una por una, para mayor rapidez. Las dos cosas se pueden solucionar a nivel software. ### 5/5 — Funcionamiento excelente *2025-07-12, version 3.4.0* Muy contento con este controlador. Riego automatizado y manual a la perfección. Variadas opciones para programar el riego e incluso modificarlo según condiciones climáticas. Hay que asegurarse de que en la zona de instalación, llegue bien la señal wifi para que todo funcione bien. Más de año y medio de riegos sin problemas y todo desde el móvil independientemente de dónde estés. Solo pediría a Netro, el poder alterar el orden de regado de las zonas con un simple drag and drop porque puede ser necesario y útil querer empezar los riegos en orden distinto al numérico. ### 1/5 — App problematica *2025-04-06, version 3.4.0* Il meteo dell’app va a ca@@i sua. Oggi dava 100% pioggia e non c’è mai stata una nuvola ( ma poco importa). Il problema più grande è la connessione alla rete. Ogni santissima volta che va via la corrente il controller non si collega più al wi-fi e bisogna ogni volta fare il reset. Fare in modo che si possa fare direttamente dal cellulare no eh! ### 5/5 — Overall,good products and good app *2024-11-22, version 3.4.0* It works very well.User interface can be better,more iOS friendly.More weather providers can be added for users to choose from,for example,apple’s own weather api. ### 1/5 — Why? *2024-08-15, version 3.4.0* It’s an app for a phone. Why are you making me log in every time I use it, and with a typed username and password??? ### 3/5 — Needs some changes *2024-05-26* The redesigned delay function is still confusing. Instead of adding a box to select “including today” or the number of days, why not just choose the number of programmed watering cycles to delay, up to 30. This makes it clear and easy for those who have shorter watering cycles but have programmed to water two or more times daily. The Scheduling section under Preferences is pointless, why not just incorporate everything under Programs, as this seem to handle most of the user’s setting for watering? Having both of these also can cause confusion and creates a poorer experience (an experience which iOS users typically don’t deal with) ### 3/5 — Still limited to 60 mins runtime *2023-11-15, version 3.2.1* I provided feedback over 3 years ago that I’m using Hunter Rotor nozzles that makes watering more efficient and effective and need to run each zone for at least 2 hours for deep soaking. The app allows me to select the nozzle type but doesn’t seem to make a difference to the run time. The maximum run time is still 60 mins. It shouldn’t take a lot of effort to change this max and after a few years there’s still no change. My gardener says my lawn is too dry so I’m seriously considering switching to Wyze Sprinkler next year since they under the concept of deep soaking (based on reviews, complaint is over watering). Hopefully, the developers will take this feedback more seriously and allow for longer watering duration. ### 2/5 — No Notifications when Program has run *2023-08-08* As said, this app doesn’t send notifications when a program or station has run like other smart wifi controllers I have had which is very disappointing ## Frequently asked questions about Netro ### What does the Netro app do?
