Just downloaded and tried … history?

So, I tested my chemicals and added per recommendations. I waited awhile after adding, tested again but I can’t find the history of the measurements themselves from earlier in the day. Just the recommendations. Are the actual numbers that I inputted in there? Kind of thinking I should’ve waited before pulling the trigger $. Will update as needed.

Response from developer

Great feedback! We've added this feature. You can now see the history of all your tests and their readings on the main dashboard.

Not great

While the appears good initially, I quickly found out it limits your options on how to treat your water.

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback! We're currently working on this feature and it should be shipped this month. The app will allow you to choose which chemicals you'd like to use to adjust your water chemistry. If there are any other limitations you found, please let me know so I can get them added our feature set in the future.

Lots of math

App seemed good when I previewed it. I subscribed and used it. It suggested to raise my pH that I use 23 pounds of a powder material— which is not available in my area. I have always used liquid muriatic acid to adjust pH. That is not an option in this app. I even checked settings to see if you could change it. The conversion of their recommended product to muriatic acid was unwieldy.
I took a sample of my water to a pool store and several of the app’s recommendations were in the ball park- two of the recommendations were way out in left field.
I have cancelled my subscription already.

Response from developer

This is honestly great feedback! In fact, we've started developing a feature that allows you to choose your chemical preferences when you test your pool. We're still in the early stages of develop. So feedback like yours is important. We're also tweaking the calculations to make it more accurate every week. I hope in a few months when we launch all these new updates, you'll give our app a second chance. Again, appreciate you taking the time to leave a written review. Happy Swimming! -Matt from Swim University
