Terrible app

Does not even call you to verify your account Tried to delete app and then reinstall but still not working

Can’t enter low pH

Can’t enter actual low pH, so you have to enter 7. Ridiculous

What’s the point?

I have no idea why anyone would need this app. I use Pinch A Penny exclusively for all of my pool needs. They have installed all of my equipment and they test my pool weekly. None of this information downloads into the app, despite both being connected to my phone number. This app is just essentially a reminder to tell you when to test your own pool and to give you a notebook to keep those records in. that is not at all something the vast majority of people need. I was hoping that it would connect to my account at the store and give me details. I will be deleting it now since despite the fact that it’s useless, it also crashes constantly lol.
