Dear Rainbird developers and customer team,I am a user of your app and overall I really like it. Ability to control irrigation system via app is such an awesome feature. But I have found one very annoying thing in your app that should be resolved ASAP. When I am launching app and connect to the controller it takes about 19seconds to log into controller. During login I can observe that schedulers are being downloaded from server and settings also are being downloaded. Why do you that? You could create synchronization that does not involve so much traffic between client and server. You could use for example hash function on JSON with schedulers and settings and compare with hash on the mobile app and only if hashes would differ do the synchronization. Second option would be to use timestamps (that is used in company that I work, smartpatient - we develop MyTherapy), each sync request compares timestamp of the last sync done if there is on difference in timestamps it means there is on need to synchronize client with the server. Please consider fixing it as this is the main problem of the app the moment. Performance of such app should be better (of course reasonably to security matters)

Dear Rain Bird TeamThis app is very useful but I have one obsession about possibility to set up one useful function. When I want to run irrigation manually I have to do it section by section - waiting for finish. In my opinion there should be an option to set up all section and start it together. Eg. Set up section 1 - 10 min. Section 2 - 15min. Section 3 - 5min. and after that start all. System should start section 1 after finish section 2 and after finish section 3. Pleas think about it.

It is an absolute joke that a Rain Bird app looks and functions like this in 2026. The interface is extremely primitive, straight out of the early 2000s, and connecting to Wi-Fi is an absolute nightmare. But the worst part is that you can configure everything perfectly and still get communication errors. You can never be sure if it’s a wrong configuration on your end or just another bug in this broken app. Utterly unacceptable and frustrating.

Data Harvesting?The Rain Bird app requires location services to be enabled in order to determine the SSID of a Wi-Fi network. Do you want to enable them now?If access is provided via the cloud and the controller is already connected to the local network, what is the purpose of locating the phone? Why is the SSID needed? Why is marketing consent pre-selected by default?Is the product compliant with European law?
