What's New in Pinch A Penny

19.11.0

October 9, 2026

Improvements to authentication & bug fixes.

User reviews

Totally useless

The app never remembers my password. There is NO option to reset or recover a password. Now it’s lost all records of prior service to my pool.

Unstable

Will never stayed logged in and gives errors every attempt to log back in. Not okay when needing previous test results for pool warranty.

Locks up. Glitchy

The app opens and lets you put your pool test data in and whenever you go to save it says there’s some error. Has done this consistently for the last couple months, despite deleting the app and reinstalling it several times. Using a new iPhone, updated OS and reinstall the app.

Design is okay

App functionality is clunky. There is no way to restore test results. The pool profile created in store does not appear given matching elements such as phone number and/or address. Hopefully these issues will be resolved quickly and a new version released!

Can’t shop online

Why the creator test the app to see how bad the app is?
