### 1/5 — Does not work

*2024-12-08*

This app is a rip. I have deleted and downloaded several times. Each time is the same. It does absolutely nothing. The reset takes you to another page and then press back takes you to the original but there is no measurement. The min/max have no numbers to even indicate it is working. Total waste of money and time

### 1/5 — DOESNT WORK ! RIP OFF

*2024-03-18*

It literally does nothing. What a total rip off. Asked Apple for refund. RIP OFF !!
