This app has the potential to be great if it worked properly using my phones network connection. It is fine if you use WiFi but the problem is when you are outside and want to check your sprinkler heads, you probably will be out of wifi range. That is why it is supposed to work with your phones network data so you can be anywhere, but unfortunately it doesn't on my phone at least. You can authenticate and see your zone names and programs but if you try to run anything you get a error message "Problem getting to the caddy". I have tried it with 2 phones with same results, a Samsung Galaxy Note3 and Galaxy S4 on T-mobile. I haveI spent days troubleshooting the issue and found that when using my phones chrome browser, I can access the Caddy interface with my IP address and it works flawlessly using the phones network connection. So the communication can work but this app still has bugs. If this app did work i would much prefer it to the browser access since the app is more simplified and easier to control on a phone than the browser interface having such small font and doing all the zooming and panning around the page. I have attempted to get support for this issue which is done only by email and the response by them was to check the configuration settings of the app and it "should work". I replied back to their response explaining that the issue still persists but have not received any further suggestions from them. So if you are thinking about getting this app, keep in mind it will probably only work using your WiFi connection and support for issues is nearly non existent. So disappointing. The google play store has version 1.4 of this app which unfortunately also yielded the same negative results.
