Inadequate, Inept, and Poorly Designed
There are so many inadequacies with this app, that it is impossible to to list every issue, this considering they a legacy maker is being left behind by nearly every other robotic mower company and accompanying app. Here is a short list of issues! 1. Bluetooth only, the app cannot even serve as bridge to WiFi, thus controlling the mower requires Bluetooth at all times! 2. The app has no feature to connect it to current weather conditions to stop mowing in the event of rain since the robotic mower itself lacks the sensor to detect rain (like nearly every other maker does). 3. Mowing can only be paused or you are forced to delete scheduled mowing in the event you want to skip mowing for a particular day for any reason! 4. App cannot pause/restart without physical interaction with the mower, this is an apparent safety feature! User should be able to bypass this if the pause was initiated for reasons other than safety and of course it lacks this simple feature! 5. The app will not allow users to connect via Bluetooth unless you are physically within a few meters of unit. Regrettably, they are well aware of all of these limitations however have refused to make any improvements to the app.
Ok app
I am able to connect and manage my gardena robot lawn mower from several feet away. It works as expected. However, the last update broke the lawn coverage settings section. No controls are visible anymore.
Great idea, poor implementation
I have the Water Controller. It was connected to my phone and worked wonderfully for ~1 year. Now the device will no longer connect to the app (despite multiple restarts of the device and factory resets). The app continuously throws either the error that it’s found an unsupported device or the error that the device needs to be restarted. Tried to connect it via different phones (thought maybe that was the issue) and uninstalled and reinstalled the app, nothing works. Unfortunately I can’t recommend the product or the app for these reasons…
Doesn’t connect
I like the lawnmower but the app hasn’t worked even once for me. It’s basically like not having an app for it at all.
I was ready for and automatic lawn mower
I was ready for and automatic lawn mower but it just wasn’t ready for me. The product itself seems fine. The app has lots of trouble connecting. Slow responses mean you’re not sure if it even got the signal you sent. Very simplistic controls. Poor feedback and error trouble shooting design. Lots of troubleshooting. At a certain point, I’ll just save myself some time and get out the lawnmower and do it myself.
Awesomeness thank you
I like this app and it is easy to use and makes my life easier!!!
Doesn’t work
While I can establish a bluetooth connection when close to the device, the app doesn’t save changes such as updated mowing schedules. What’s worse the app is the only way to change certain settings.
