## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Works 20% of the time.

*2026-08-21, version 2.2.9*

Often just continuously throws random numbers out when measuring. I’ve calibrated countless times, new batteries, multiple different phones, you name it. It’s almost great but falls short of good.

### 1/5 — Useless, useless

*2024-08-29, version 2.2.8*

I purchased the Bluelab Pulse on recommendation from a crop science consultant. It is not inexpensive but I thought it would be worth the cost. So the equipment arrived on mail order and the instructions seemed to be simple. That was where the nightmare began! The online registration as a user kept giving me error messages and refusing to accept my log in. Numerous attempts to solve this problem with the ‘tech services’ team were frustrating and hopelessly unhelpful. I am now stuck with a useless piece of equipment and the hassle of trying to get them to take it back. If what I have been through so far is any indication that is also going to be a major challenge. Don’t buy a Bluelab Pulse!

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2023-08-26, version 2.2.7*

Never can get it to work.

### 1/5 — Mal

*2021-02-03, version 2.0.6*

La app funciona bastante mal, le cuesta enlaza con pulse. Ademas otra cosa pesima que no puedes trabajar con pulse si no estas logeado como usuario. Ahora mismo se les ha caido el servidor, y tengo un cacharro inutil que no sirve para nada.

### 1/5 — Glitchy

*2020-09-10, version 1.0.1*

So many glitches!  Waste of time!

### 1/5 — Great when it works. Rarely works.

*2020-05-12, version 1.0.1*

This worked awesome the first day. Then every time after that I can only get it to connect 1/10 times. Fix this. I work at a commercial grow facility and this tool would be so helpful if it actually worked. Instead it’s just super frustrating.

### 1/5 — Great when it works

*2020-02-11, version 1.0.1*

Impossible to pair this thing with the app. Extremely frustrating

### 2/5 — EC levels

*2021-09-02, version 2.1.0*

My worked the whole year around but since about a week ago it doesn’t want to pick up the Ec levels in my soil. Please help

### 2/5 — Has a coir setting but not rockwool? What gives?

*2021-03-11, version 2.0.6*

We want to measure rockwool moisture and you have soil, solution, and coir as options. Rockwool is extremely popular I recommend supporting that medium!

### 2/5 — Terrible sync, otherwise great device

*2020-09-30, version 1.0.1*

Fix the app please. Syncing the device is enough to make you want to smash your face sometimes. Love it when it actually connects.

### 5/5 — Love the product app just needs a little update

*2023-08-07*

Been using it for years, unreal product! As of recent when you go to add a comment to the testing the app won’t allow you to

### 5/5 — Muy bueno

*2022-08-23, version 2.1.0*

Es mucho mejor que abra con el bluetooth

### 5/5 — Paired first try

*2021-03-24, version 2.0.6*

Apparently they fixed the app because it paired first try for me

### 4/5 — Works well, waiting for Shortcuts integration

*2021-07-15, version 2.1.0*

Would be great if it worked with iOS Shortcuts so that I can add NFC tags to different soils and use them to configure and also to add notes.

### 2/5 — Dont buy

*2020-06-01, version 1.0.1*

Great product when it reads has incredible problems pairing.

### 2/5 — Will not pair

*2020-05-20, version 1.0.1*

Great when it works. 
Will not pair
