That's very helpful. In Bill Holton's review, he noted, "There's also a one-time watering screen. Unfortunately, the timer dial control is completely inaccessible both on the iOS and the Android app." Have you encountered this problem? I wonder if that problem might have been solved by the developer.

I use the Rachio app and find it very accessible. The only real issue I have is that it does not tell you if something is selected or not, for instance when you are trying to select which of the zones are going to be watered on a given schedule. It is easy enough to work around that though, since you can get the list of zones currently selected when you have the schedule fully created, then just go in and edit it by tapping on the zones you don't want included in that list.
