### 1/5 — Stopped connecting

*2025-04-20, version 1.3.3*

Tempus DC app will no longer connect to the Tempus DC-LCD device so a can’t alter any of the watering cycles I have programmed

### 1/5 — Unfriendly design

*2023-11-04, version 1.3.3*

Complicated app, hard to understand with no instructions included. Wish I took my $800 elsewhere.

### 1/5 — Not working anymore

*2022-03-05, version 1.2.2*

Since the last update the app doesn’t allow me to connect anymore remotely to my controller, giving always an error on iOS says “impossible to read data because they don’t exist”. Really disappointed.

### 1/5 — Abbastanza pessima

*2021-06-04, version 1.2*

Bella nella gestione impianto, pessima per quanto riguarda il recupero password in caso di smarrimento, non si riesce ad impostarla, qualsiasi password non va bene, avvisa che non rispetta i requisiti di sicurezza, ho dovuto registrarmi con un’altra email. 
L’app dopo aver creato l’account, in caso la centralina fosse già registrata nel cloud, non si riesce più ad agganciarla all’app.
Manca totalmente l’assistenza tecnica, non c’è un contatto per chiedere informazioni.
Mi ritrovo con l’impianto inutilizzabile da remoto e non so come fare almeno per comandarlo da dentro casa, come da guida e video su YouTube perché la centrale essendo stata abilitata per il remoto, non genera più la rete Wi-Fi locale alla quale l’app si agganciava per la gestione entro i 20 metri di distanza.

### 3/5 — Bluetooth Not Strong

*2021-01-24, version 1.2*

Purchased the controller on the understanding that it would operate at a distance of up to 15mtrs but I’m lucky to get 5mtrs.
