The B-hyve smart sprinkler timer app allows you to control or monitor your sprinklers from anywhere in the world with the convenience of your smart device. Smart Watering Knowing how long and how often to water your plants can be challenging. When set to smart watering mode, B-hyve takes the guesswork out of watering and utilizes Mother Nature, along with some really great technology, to determine the watering schedule for your yard. When set and left in smart watering mode, B-hyve can save users as much as 50% more water over a traditional controller. Weather When set in smart mode, B-hyve uses local weather data to determine how much water is evaporated and transpired through your plants each day to know when it needs to water. It also accounts for any rainfall that is in the forecast, shuts off the system for rain, then looks back to see how much actually fell. That’s smart! But all yards are not the same. B-hyve also takes into account things like soil type, plant type, sun/shade and slope to determine a watering schedule that takes the water to the roots and helps avoid runoff. WeatherSense If you want to be the one in control of the schedule, that’s okay too. With B-hyve you can set custom programs to water how you want while still taking advantage of the local weather data to override watering in case of a weather event. This will shut off your system during the rain and resume your program when the rain has passed. That’s smart! Integrated Irrigation Audit Tool The B-hyve app also integrates the award-winning irrigation audit tool right to your smart device. By performing a catch cup test on your sprinkler system, you will know exactly how much water is being applied rather than relying on estimated sprinkler head water use that other timers/apps use, which can be off by as much as 50%, saving you more water and money. This is the app for the best-selling, WaterSense and SWAT certified Orbit B-hyve Smart Wifi Sprinkler Timer. This is also the companion app for homeowners with the Hydro-Rain B-hyve Pro Wifi Controller. Please let us know if you have questions or problems. ALEXA – Works with Alexa.

Prayed is a private prayer journal that remembers. Write what you're praying for. Prayed matches scripture to your words right on your phone, then brings the prayer back to you at three days, a week, a month, a year, so you see what you asked for and what came of it. Mark each one open, ongoing, answered, or released. The answered ones build into a timeline you'll want to scroll through on a hard day. YOUR PRAYERS NEVER LEAVE YOUR PHONE There is no Prayed server and no account. Everything you write stays on your device and, if you choose, in your own iCloud. Nothing you write is ever collected, and there is no tracking. Face ID lock is on by default. SCRIPTURE, MATCHED ON YOUR PHONE After you save a prayer, Prayed finds three verses that speak to what you wrote, using the full text of the World English Bible or the King James Version. It runs entirely on the device and works in airplane mode. A MEMORY WITH A LADDER Prayed brings prayers back at 3 days, 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years. A daily Remember card and a weekly review of everything still open keep you from losing track of what you've carried. EVERYONE YOU PRAY FOR, ON ONE TIMELINE Tag a person or a thing, and every prayer for them gathers in one place, from the first ask to the answer. Choose how often each one comes back: every day, every week, every month, or Prayed's own rhythm. BRING IT BACK ON THE DAY THAT MATTERS Pin a prayer to a surgery day or an anniversary, once or every month or year. It leads Today that morning, with a quiet notification that names only who it's for. YOUR MONTH AND YOUR YEAR, ON PAPER What you wrote, who it was for, and what was answered. A card on Today when a month or a year closes, and a share image that holds only the numbers and first names, never the words. ALSO • Backdate any prayer, so history you already have starts coming back right away • Import plain text or Day One journals; export everything as PDF or Markdown • Deeper reflection: a short written reflection on any prayer, written on your phone by Apple Intelligence (iPhone 15 Pro and later) • Widgets for a daily verse, a prayer to revisit, your streak with one tap to mark it prayed, and your open-prayer count (the count is free) • Prayed on Apple Watch: today's prayer on your wrist, mark it prayed or answered, dictate a new one • Siri and Shortcuts: "Add a prayer in Prayed." Siri never reads a prayer aloud, and stays quiet while the journal is locked • Four paper stocks: Cream, Linen, Parchment, and true-black Night • Quiet streaks with no shaming, ever • Full Dynamic Type and VoiceOver support FREE AND PRAYED PLUS Writing is free forever, with no cap on prayers. The free plan brings back the last 30 days, includes three scripture matches, and follows three subjects. Prayed Plus remembers your whole history, matches every prayer, follows unlimited subjects, reviews every month and year in full, writes reflections on a prayer or on your year, lets you choose your paper, and adds widgets, import, and export. Prayed Plus is $34.99 per year or $5.99 per month, each with a 7-day free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in your Apple ID account settings.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: B at none against Prayed's 2. B also leads on ratings volume (335K vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). Prayed's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 6 weeks) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
