Email doesn’t work
Takes the guess work out. Thank you! But email option doesn’t work.
Do not purchase
This was an absolute waste of money. There are free apps that give more information than this.
Not for Baquacil pool
Unfortunately I purchased the app and didn’t realize it does not work for pools using Baquacil products
Great App
Great for basic needs of daily pool management.
Perfect pool chemistry
My pool is easy to keep perfect with this app and a testing kit
Need to be able to adjust salinity based on swg
Used this on my pool for the first time today and it says to lower my salt level. My swg salinity range is 3500 - 4500. It’s at 4500 so no need to lower it. There is no one size fits all for salt level
Good but not
it’s now $20 but it used too be free. it doesn’t even have cyanuric acid as a reading
Accurate
When I compare the chemical recommendations between Pool Doctor and the store I take samples to test, Pool Doctor matches their recommendations closer than any other pool app I’ve tried. I wanted to compare apps to store tests before I started testing myself and adding chemicals.
Great app!
Great app!
Improve App
Should be able to customize the order of the readings input page from top to bottom. If i want pH first then i should be able to move it there. Be nice to mirroe the test strip or test equip in the same order
Best Pool Operator App!!
Best pool chemical calculator on the App Store hands down.
Great App
Makes testing your pool easy.
Easy to use
Very simple and quick to use. Very intuitive
Awesome!
Use it for work, I love it
Early days yet!
Early days yet but my initial findings are extremely positive.
I really like the ability to select from a list of available chemicals used to achieve the desired effect.
Not yet tried in anger but believe that this application will provide me a concise measured approach to controlling my 15000 gallon indoor pool chemicals.
👍👍👍👍

Great for new pool user
Great app, really helps me manage main pool chemicals as I’m new to it all. Would be better if there was additional information on how to optimise/utilise other chemicals such as ‘sunblock’ or calcium hardness, etc. User enters chemicals used & it offered recommendations.
I’m a pool tech, I do it for a living.
I recently downloaded this just to see the accuracy, for a 15000 gal pool.
My readings came to
7.4 ph
40 alk
4.0 chlorine
I typed it in to find out that they want me to add 12 pounds of bicarbonate and .2 chlorine reducer.
This is what I KNOW from experience, if I were to add the amount they suggested it would increase my alkalinity to above 200 for sure, you want your alkalinity at 80 and the chlorine will dissipate in time never ever use chlorine reducers it’s a waste of money. Not only would the bicarbonate raise my alkalinity to unethical level it would also increase my ph 10 part per pound, so in this case my ph was 7.4 which is perfect, do the math and the ph would be way above an 8.
If you need pool advice I’ll give it to you for free.
Add 1.5 pounds of shock per 10,000 gallons and if you have green in your pool one pound extra on top of that figure. Add shock once a week. Brush once a week, check your skimmers as often as you can. Vacuum your pool, if you’re having suction issues and the suction just isn’t there close the main drain to your pool so the skimmers get the full suction, use the skimmer closest to the pump it has better suction. But always remember to reopen that main drain.
Skim the top of the water once a week.
If your ph is at an 8 add one gallon of muratic acid per 10,000 gallons wait a few days and recheck your ph. If it’s still at an 8 that means it was above an 8. Next week add one more gallon and go from there, adding muratic acid will lower your ph and your alkalinity. Don’t worry if it drops your alkalinity below 80 just wait until next week and add 1 pound of bicarbonate to raise it 10 parts.
Don’t add a lot just add a pound and wait until next week, if it’s still low add another. If your p.h goes to 7.8 and your alkalinity is a 70 don’t worry it will naturally balance out.
Pro tips.

Great for pool management
Works great for pool management. You test. Put your numbers in the app and it will tell you what chemicals and amount you need for the pool water by how many gallons of water in the pool.
Crashes constantly
Useless app that just crashes after entering a. Reading
Can the developer answer this question please
Can i assume this can be used on a spa too seen as you set all your own parameters?
I do use this for my spa and it seems to help me out with levels good but can anyone clarify

Simple and accurate
Super app. Keep up the good work.
