Rain Bird controller

The Wifi controller for the Rain Bird is a must have.

Im questioning the legitimacy of the 5 star reviews

This app is horrendous. The connection is so clumsy and not once have we ever actually gotten it to function correctly. You cant cancel the watering when in mid watering session. The app just hangs trying to connect to the system, the app is none functional in any real manner other then to tell you the program is on or off. We hired a professional contractor to install a full irrigation system in our property, the contractor even indicated he will never recommend this system to another customer, he also indicated every single unit he installed this year is doing the same thing. This entire system is a complete failure. If it actually connected and did what it was supposed to it would be glorious, but it doesnโ€™t, and it creates more problems then it was supposed to solve.

Avoid this product and app at all costs. We are in process of removing it and going with a different brand.

On a side note, if you google or search this product online you find the majority of users have the same terrible experience. So the high amount of 5 star reviews on this app makes me really question how authentic this company actually is in true unbiased assessments.

Complete waste of money and time. Shop elsewhere.

Wi-Fi Challenged

Was difficult connecting to my Wi-Fi network but after numerous attempts I finally managed.
I had to search the web for ways to connect.

Junk!!

Do not purchase!! This unit works 10% of the time, the other time ms it cannot find my WiFi. Forget the fact I am next to the WiFi. There should be a lawsuit for selling this junk!! It is a not worth the money!! Fix it or stop selling it!!
