Worst app

Hi @franz, I know you guys are trying hard to create an easy to use app. It feels like the app is focused on simplicity, but that seems to have the opposite effect and the browser ui is different from the android ui. (and I assume the iOS one as well?)

For example, Android has “Home Yard Calendar and More” across the bottom, the browser has "Home Schedule Zones History " across the side. The Android More sub menu is in a different order than the remainder of the browser options.

Consistency would help, Android has “Calendar” and the browser has “Schedule”, both of these bring you to a calendar which has schedules below that. Maybe I a difficult time finding my schedules since they are named different on the two ways I try to access my schedules?

I’ve been in the software industry for 30+ years and my team supports an app that runs on 6 different platforms (Android, Chrome OS, iOS, Mac OS, Windows). One thing that we strive for is a consistent experience no matter what device they use.

One thing I can suggest is to make sure the app is easy to use for the casual or first time user. It doesn’t help to get power users such as @tmcgahey basically berate users when they are having problems. This device is sold in places such as Costco, Sams club, Home Depot, Lowes, etc. These people are far from tech or irrigation system savvy.
