Comments on Rain Bird for Android

★★★★☆ Bill Akers · Jul 12, 2026

This app has been a mess for years with connection issues. It does appear the latest update has fixed the connection issues. We'll see. I can't give 5 stars due to years of agrivation. Use 2.4 not 5.0

★★★★☆ David Baca · May 24, 2026

It was easy to install and set up instructions are very clear. After I set my zones up I was able to use soaking feature that allows custom soaking periods within the desired total watering time for a specific zone. This works great for hill sides. When troubleshooting a specific zone I can stand in my yard and turn the zone on in off from my phone. I have encountered slow link uptimes, but not enough to go back to running back to the controller for a manual run.

★★☆☆☆ Jennifer Bell · May 23, 2026

The app has always been slow but at least it worked. Now there's constant communication errors that I didn't have for years of using it, so it's not me. I wish I'd never bought rainbird and went with a company that is more up to date on app creation and maintenance.

★☆☆☆☆ Greg Steele · Aug 8, 2026

It's extremely slow to start the app, at least 1 min of wait and sometimes fails. If I connect on Wi-Fi in my home and go outside, connect to the cellular network, my connection to the controller is broken. I then have to close out the app and restart. Based on the 1.6-star review and how long this has been going on, I'm done with anything rain bird. My money will go to the company that cares about the performance of their product and the user experience.
