App completely destroys your phone battery

I keep my phone usage to a minimum while at work and close the app while cleaning pools but my phone battery still drains down like crazy it’s insane

Good App, BATTERY KILLER

Like the ease of use of this app, hate that it drains my battery to the point my phone dies then have to waste extra time charging to complete the job. Make this app NOT DRAIN MY BATTERY and I’ll give it a 5 star!

Could be better

Would be nice if you could log in on 2 devices. My battery can’t keep up running the program all day. Would also be better if it would notify before the job start button if backwash was needed so I don’t have to make an extra trip.

Such a great user friendly program. My customers are very thankful for all the info and transparency from service to repairs.

Too Much!

This app is too much! You have to take pictures for every action to clean a pool. A picture before and after is understandable. But to take a picture of the skimmers, the Polaris bag, your net, your brush, your vacuuming hose, your filter pressure. The list goes on and on. And you cannot move on to the next action unless you take a picture. It overheats your phone and your phone battery will drain before you get half way through your route! I used this app with the company I used to work for and we had so many issues! I do not recommend this app for any pool company. I was on my phone at a pool more than my time spent cleaning the pool. It’s ridiculous! The chemical part in the beginning is very counterintuitive.

Not to mention, it is a lot of back and forth!

Efficiency killer for technicians

This app will have you running back and forth from the pool to the equipment at least 4 times every visit. The rigidity of when steps can be done is ridiculous and completely wrecks the routine technicians create for themselves to get pools done quickly. Most of us get paid by the pool so every minute wasted is money out our pockets.

Through of you want that

Documents everything keeps liability for shutting gates, doors, etc. to a minimum. If someone’s distracted they cannot overlook something leave. Something undone. Life hits everybody now and then with a distraction this app will keep everything in line.

Good app

App works great I don’t mind using it, it absolutely destroys your battery tho just something to keep in mind

Over 50gig of memory in 1 week.

Works as well as any other…but, in so far as I can tell, uses your phone as its own cloud storage. Over 50g in one week. I can see how this app would render many phones useless. Just get in the habit of deleting and reinstalling every other day

Using over 50g of space

I’m assuming it’s not deleting the 3 million pictures…but this is far too large. Support link leads to brands main webpage. Performance wise, the app is fine
