WeatherTRAK Mobile 3

I’m glad to have this app. It has its quirks-but it’s better than having a physical remote. One thing I’d like to see changed is that the app blocks the phone display at the top of the screen. I can’t see time, battery or reception. Times it’s important for manual watering and reception is important for obvious reasons. Please make these visible.

Having used the app for a long time, it has really became essential. Performance has gotten better each version. It is important to note that app is sending commands to the controller and if the controller does not receive the command, the app’s hands are tied. Most issues connecting are due to controller signal and if at the moment the command was send, signal was good. I’ve experienced vast improvements since a couple of versions ago. Site Map is worth the price of admission alone.

This app is super useful and I use it a lot to manually control the sprinkler valves and the system state. However sometimes nothing happens after I change the master valve state between ON and SHUTDOWN etc. There is no error message; is just doesn’t do anything when I tap the button. It works from this app about 80% of the time and then no action the other 20% of the time. I don’t know if it’s an error in the app or failing to communicate sometimes with the controller. Features that would be nice to see in future updates to the app would be the current flow rate, status of the currently running sprinkler, and display of the program details.
