Very limited functionality, but it does allow you to see each pool with the color options. ### 1/5 — Does not work!!! *2021-04-20, version 2.0* No instructions provided and no matter what I try no pool models show up. No way to add a yard picture and to visualize pools. It only seems to work on the Youtube video! ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2021-01-04, version 2.0* There’s no way to change the size or scale of the pools so that one can accurately see a pool in the space!! The pools all look gigantic when I try to “visualize them” in the space - the virtual image of the pools literally cover our full size tennis court! It is 123’ long!!) Furthermore, there’s no way to zoom out to see the whole pool at once. Save your time and skip this! Print a photo of your yard and draw a pool onto it, that will be waaaaaaay better than this! ### 1/5 — Worst app ever *2020-12-20, version 2.0* Why even have this up if it’s not going to work. ### 2/5 — Not worth it *2020-09-03, version 2.0* If not all the shapes are available why bother. Crappy app. Made it look like the pool was floating above ground. Don’t bother. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2020-08-10, version 2.0* You open it up to the AR section and the page is just blank. It’s like it’s frozen and doesn’t do anything. Very confusing. ### 2/5 — Loadable *2020-08-05, version 2.0* App is loadable. App is workable. There is not enough options for pools. ### 1/5 — Don’t Even Waste Your Time *2020-07-23, version 2.0* Worst app you can possibly download. I’ll save you the trouble. It doesn’t work so don’t waste your time. ### 1/5 — App *2020-07-12, version 2.0* Great idea but I would FIRE THE I.T. GUY ! ABSOLUTELY USELESS APP!! With that being said, I am looking for a fiberglass pool. FIX THE APP AND YOU WILL SELL MORE!! ### 1/5 — Worthless *2020-07-05, version 2.0* Not worth the space or time to download. ### 1/5 — 😡waste of my precious time. *2020-06-26, version 2.0* I spent too much time trying to make it work! Blank screen for minutes. Tried different days, cloudy, sunny, rainy NOTHING!! I’m still getting the pool tho app or no app! ### 1/5 — Did not work *2020-06-23, version 2.0* I was excited to try this app to explore some options for a future pool. Unfortunately the virtual reality parts of the app just plain didn’t work. It went completely blank. Really disappointed. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Awful *2025-01-14, version 2.2.2* Does not work ### 1/5 — Scale is completely wrong *2023-06-30, version 2.2.2* The scale is not even close. I the pool fills the screen no matter where I point it. It can show the same pool the size of our whole back yard or as small as a small couch. It just doesn’t work. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work *2023-04-21, version 2.2.2* Tried to place a pool using the Visualizer and it dropped into the view HUGE and the two finger pinch to scale did it work. Disappointed. ### 1/5 — No pool?? *2023-02-16, version 2.2.2* This doesn’t work like AT ALL ### 1/5 — No camera access? *2022-07-03, version 2.0* When I choose a pool model, it only shows a blank screen as if the app doesn't have access to the camera. It also doesn't show up in Settings App list so that I could allow the camera access. ### 1/5 — Useless *2022-01-14, version 2.0* The AR pool was bigger then my house. Cannot resize the pool image, so cannot visualize pool in my yard. If this company can’t get this simple technology right, I’m not giving them my money. ### 1/5 — Does nothing *2021-08-27, version 2.0* Doesn’t work,and no instructions ### 1/5 — Great concept, if only it worked *2021-05-25, version 2.0* The yard Visualizer function does not work. All I get is a black screen. ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2021-05-12, version 2.0* Total waste. Resizing doesn’t work. Image of pool appears like an above ground pool. Blah. ### 1/5 — Not worth the effort *2021-05-05, version 2.0* Terrible. First they don’t have all the models their brochure shows. Naturally the model we were interested in (Delray) was not listed. I put a similar one just to try it and the “pinch” mode to scale it did not work on my iPhone 12. So you end up with a gigantic view of the pool which is useless. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Helps your imagination *2023-06-02, version 2.2.2* It does what it is supposed to. My husband and I were able to picture different options and actually helped us see that a couple of options were not a good match. People complaining about the app are probably not good with technology. I was able to place the pool and rotate to exactly where we plan to put it. We could see it from far away or walk into it to imagine how it would be used realistically. The only complaint is the about the colors. They water doesn’t seem like a good example of the true color it would be with the different selections. I just suggest not picking based on the app alone but pictures and seeing the color in person. ### 5/5 — Cool Pool Simulator *2021-04-11, version 2.0* The app was cool. I was able to place a simulated pool in my yard! ### 5/5 — Loved it *2021-04-07, version 2.0* We recently purchased a Latham pool and found the AR application to be a huge help in the process. The ability to be able to see different shapes of pools in various colors right in our backyard was amazing. It enabled us to decide what worked best for our backyard and the size we had available. ### 5/5 — Impressive *2021-04-07, version 2.0* App was very helpful. Found the augmented reality to be incredibly fluid and glitch-free ### 5/5 — Works Great *2021-04-07, version 2.0* Was able to see what would work in my backyard; the augmented reality of the app is top notch. Highly recommend! ### 5/5 — Bill Stevens *2020-07-14, version 2.0* Very cool app! My wife and I were able to choose our pool shape, size and color. Being able to place the pool and then walk around and see it from our deck and other vantage points really took the guess work out of the project. As an old friend of mine used to say, “If I was any happier with this app I’d have to sit on my hands to keep from clapping.” 😊 ### 5/5 — Helped me find the right shape *2020-07-14, version 2.0* Was able to see all the shapes we were considering and it made it super easy to find the one that would fit in our yard. fast and simple. ### 5/5 — Helps you see the scale *2020-06-12, version 2.0* I used this to be able to determine pool sizes more clearly. I was able to actually see my pool even while sitting in my bedroom. Love the visualizing of the different colors under the water. Impressive! Made me want to be in the pool right now. ### 5/5 — Great way to plan the backyard! *2019-09-21, version 1.01* Easy to use. Helps SO MUCH when designing the pool in the yard! ### 4/5 — It is limited but does the job *2021-03-06, version 2.0* The app will give you an idea of how the pool is going to look in your home. The only downside is that not all models are loaded. It took me maybe 5 minutes to realize how it works. I tried some different shapes and sizes, and finishes. One of the review says it is a waste of time because you cannot change the size of the pool. This is a stupid request as these pools are not customizable. They have a fixed shape and size. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
