Needs Major Updating

I like that I can sign into my account, view my transaction history and water test results, and create my pool profile. However, that’s literally all you can really do with this app. The shop links do nothing. You can’t see any products let alone what’s on sale. You can’t order anything on the app. There’s no pool education or water chemistry prescriptions. This app could be soooo much better.

Pretty useless

The app never remembers my password. Now it’s lost all records of prior service to my pool.

Horrible app

This app work when it wants to, not when you need it. Test history show up…. sometimes, rarely. You have to make several login attempts before it lets you in. Don’t waste you time.

Test strip scan not worky

I like the app in that when the store tests my water and adds results to my account, I can look at results online. That works great but, the test strips part where you photograph the strip really doesn’t work for me and when I went to Pinch a Penny for help they never heard of it and had no idea what I was talking about. And I felt like I was wasting their time. When I photograph the Porpoise 5-1 test strip the app always says can’t read it try again.
As for the logon issue, I use the Apple facial recognition to logon and no problem but I know what folks are saying about difficulty when typing in logon and password.
