Works well with the multimeter except

The Fahrenheit temp display on the iPhone is messed up. It is actually showing as Celsius and about 6 decimal places instead of the correct Fahrenheit reading as shown on the multimeter. Celsius is fine.

All other measurements appear fine via Bluetooth.

Does not work with iBorescope

This app does not work with the iborescope (DCiS1). Buyer beware when purchasing.

Its never worked

Wish I'd returned it. Its never worked with the phone. Ever. It syncs but thats it.

Tried the latest software today, created an account so I can have better commercials aimed at me but still a no-go. It won't even save projects. Input the name & the "save" button does nothing.

Very underwhelmed.

Good update

Overall very happy with where they're bringing this. New design is much improved. See where they're going with this app and very excited. Looking forward to continued updates.

Registration REQUIRED to use a product I paid for?

Absolute garbage update update. I haven't had this thing a month and now I HAVE to create an account for a product I paid for? Before I can use it AT ALL? This is extortion, pure and simple. You do not have the right to force me to give you any info for a physical product. I will definitely be giving negative advertisements for this and all future products.

New Design and Features

I'm happy with the new design and features of the app, looking forward to future updates.

Mandatory registration ruins otherwise capable app

V3 of this app now requires you to register with ToolSmart before you can do anything at all. I wouldn't mind if this were optional but requiring it really slows down the process of getting to work and I don't really feel the need to share my personal info with a tool company.

I don't recommend upgrading if it bothers you.

Doesn't work

Connects to my laser meter, but none of my measurements show up on the app.

Lacks basic features, forgets measurements

This app is supposed to be used to catalogue measurements taken from General Tools.
Bad:
- Cannot manually enter measurements readings.
- Cannot copy, paste, or move measurements to projects.
- Clears the last entered description/ name of a measurement between consecutive measurements. That means I have to retype the description of each measurement... EVERY TIME.
- Cannot assign previous measurements to projects. (Worst missing feature).
- App forgets "recent measurements" on exit. So if a measurement is not originally recorded in a project, it is gone forever the next time you go to use the tool.

I feel that this app is extremely frustrating to use, lacks basic features, and is a waste of my time/money. Using this app makes me angry because it appears to have been developed by someone who was not paid enough or who has not attained significant education.
