### 1/5 — Unable to connect to blue tooth

*2025-11-18, version 3.1.5*

$800 and unable to connect to my phone. What a waste. I have a new iPhone unable to connect. Follow the directions and device cannot be found. Watch several videos to see if I’m doing something wrong. Nope

### 2/5 — Gps

*2025-07-30, version 3.1.4*

I ordered the 20 model and was familiarizing with the app waiting delivery. Entered manual tests while being tormented with nonstop location requests. Bought for personal use and don’t want or need gps but am literally FORCED to if iv want to use the app at all

### 2/5 — Not the best app! And never improved

*2025-07-23, version 3.1.4*

It’s just not that user friendly - it’s slow, there has clearly been no thought or input into how to make it easy to use and efficient

### 1/5 — Bluetooth issues

*2025-07-04, version 3.1.4*

Will not connect to Bluetooth after all troubleshooting.

### 5/5 — IDip

*2024-07-10, version 3.1.0.1*

Amazing piece of kit, don’t have to get ripped off by Leslie’s anymore.

### 2/5 — Disappointed for the money

*2024-04-28, version 3.1.0.1*

The text I purchased do not appear even after following guides. The connection to the device is pretty finicky

### 4/5 — Not bad

*2024-01-28*

The app is okay, but it requires an urgent update as it seems outdated.

### 3/5 — Works Great - Until It Doesn’t

*2023-09-07, version 3.1.0.1*

Sometimes the “results” data goes missing for 10 or so minutes.
Today I tried to access the Store to check out more algorithms, and it just refuses to show them.

### 5/5 — Idip

*2022-11-30, version 3.0.8*

This device is very helpful with my pool issues. The staff is always very helpful and responsive with any questions.

### 4/5 — Overall happy with product

*2022-11-17, version 3.0.8*

Overall good product. App is easy to use. I do wish some of the parameters would give an actual reading rather then “LO” or “HIGH” so I know how far off I am. Example: Calcium “LO”, I want to know how low. I also don’t like that each individual test on the app costs $. Example: nitrite strips cost $12, but to download the test, it was an additional $5 to download. That was disappointing. I did purchase the “marine bundle tests” to download, that was $25. Didn’t include nitrite which is critical when cycling a tank.
