Easy to use app
The app is very understandable and the layout is intuitive
Confusing and Complex
What once was a simple app has turned into a multi system puddle of technology diarrhea. Try to find hibernation mode in the sprinkler app. It isn’t where it makes sense - the schedule perhaps, but no, you have to call customer service to find where they hid it. Troubleshooting instructions for a controller don’t match controller’s behavior. Hard reboot after holding down the WiFi button does not result in a yellow bar. Not sure where to go with that as no directions work. Another call to customer service.

App logic is nonsense; killed my landscaping
Rachio has a thousand settings, but every auto mode setting under waters. Schedules default to expiring in a year, so my schedule stopped on Aug-19 and killed all my landscaping in Las Vegas. This app is a dangerous joke.
Best thing I have done for my yard
The flexibility and ease in using this is amazing.
Grandmother Test
Like most ‘modern’ apps, Rachio assumes a certain level of technical know-how. This one takes some willingness to search around but it accepts ‘deletes’ & start-overs. Once set up, it works & sure beats standing in a poor lighted garage trying to read tiny buttons through trifocals on a wall mounted controller with mysterious labels.

Let me decide how far in the future I want to see a watering to skip
Inability to skip a watering session that is more than 24 hrs in advance is annoying.
The Controller
This is a very sophisticated controller and works extremely well. I wish there was a way to fully understand what I can do.
I wish there was more information about it and how to use all the features. That’s why I only gave it four stars.

Pffftt
Poor design of zone setup. Really poor - makes no sense at all.
Rachio is the Best
I give it my highest Rating, Perfect!

Awesome Controller
Simply Amazing!!!
Does not work
I replaced my 20 year old sprinkler controller with a Rachio and have spent more time troubleshooting and fixing the buggy device in one summer than I spent in the past ten years with my “dumb” sprinkler controller. It just fails the basic product test.
Excellent
Really good app!
Super easy!
One week in and this app has been easy to us and super helpful! Set it and you don’t have to worry about forgetting and flooding!

At first, the installer took no time to train, but come to find he didn’t know. Within about an 1.5 hrs, I had it done, except I haven’t figured out to schedule for the second watering on our allowable two days, so I just utilize the “quick run”. Otherwise, I like it.
If there is a way to set up two schedules on the two days, like water in the morning on Wed and Saturday and I am allowed to sprinkler again in the evening, where I use the “quick run.”
Thanks

Game changer
I replace my old system with this one. This is a total game changer super easy to install only took 10 minutes at most. The user interface is very intuitive and laid out well and gives you a lot of customization for your zones such as custom labels, runtime, photos, etc.
Rachio system
I love it
What a piece of garbage
Not a drop of rain in days or is anything scheduled in the forecast 100 + degree days in the past and in the foreseeable future but this over designed piece of garbage does a rain skip all on it’s own just skipped the desperately needed watering on what information? Who knows? Run! don’t walk! away from this device.
