### 5/5 — Great software to manage my swim spa

*2026-07-17*

Software helps you do as little or as much tracking as you want. 

I’m able to enter the water testing variables I want to track and set a minimum and maximum range for each. Pooli will calculate the amount of the chemicals I use, for me to add to the water. 

If I want, I can enter the inventory of how much of each chemical I have on hand. As I add it to the water, it reduces my inventory by the same amount, and will tell me when I need to order more. 

So it helps me manage the water quality with simple dose recommendations (I can use them, change them, or delete or delay them).

It helps me keep track of my chemical inventory, and based upon how much I average using, gives me a 2-3 week heads up that I need to order more! Based upon my usage!

If, I enter how much my chemicals cost, it’ll even give me an estimate of my average monthly expenses for them. 

I can enter periodic reminders… Shock the water, rinse the filters, deep clean the filters, change the UV Bulb annually, etc. so I don’t forget those infrequent details. 

As much, or as little as you want. Over the last two years, I’ve tried at least 5 other software programs. This one, to me, is the best combination of capabilities, developer adding new functionality, and ease of use. 

You can use it for free. I decided to pay the subscription to get the added functionality, and, to reward the developers to encourage them to continue with their upgrades to Pooli. 

Try it, I’m glad I did.

### 5/5 — Rookie pool owner

*2026-07-03*

Before using Pooli I was a rookie and that’s putting it lightly , I had constant problems  with algae, chemical imbalance, and cloudy water ! Now  since I have found Pooli my pool stays balanced and clear hardly having any issues .. but when 1 should arise I just go on my app and Pooli helps me get the problem u see control .. I have used a couple different apps in the past .but all seem to want to charge  after a week of use .. Pooli gives you the option to be a member or just a user ! I highly recommend Pooli ! My son has been a pool tech  for 13 years and now he uses Pooli
To track and document his pool routes

### 5/5 — Feature rich and flexible

*2026-05-19*

This is the most complete and flexible pool / spa management app I have tried to date. It allows customization of test parameters on a per pool / spa basis, tracks product inventory, tracks water additions to help understand evaporation loss versus potential leaks, sends reminders per a schedule that you can configure, and more. For subscribers it also has added features like an AI agent that reviews your logged results as well as your chemical additions. Based on the weather forecast it then predicts and suggests actions that may be needed over the coming week. Best of all the developers are open to feedback regarding bug fixes or features. One does not need to use the Pooli test strips in order to leverage this app. I use a Taylor K-2006 C SALT kit and enter my results manually. But I still subscribe for the added features.

### 1/5 — Bad advice

*2026-04-26, version 7.6.0*

Total chlorine 6ppm & free chlorine 1ppm means it’s time to add chlorine to reach 50ppm to swim in 24 hours or use potassium monopersulfate to swim in 15-30 minutes.  App suggests draining the water and replacing with tap water. This will not work you’ll still have too much combine chlorine.  App is a cool idea and probably reads strips correctly but advice is similarly useless just like the national pool store offers people.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-12-30, version 7.5.5*

This app is incredible!! Highly recommend

### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-10-20, version 7.5.0*

Great app for maintaining you hot tub spa or pool.

### 5/5 — Using Pooli

*2025-10-19, version 7.5.0*

Works great for me

### 1/5 — Not intuitive

*2025-08-28, version 7.4.0*

This app has some good features but using them is frustrating. For example, if I scan in a product, the volume of the bottle becomes the dosage. Then, changing the dosage changes the inventory. There’s probably something that I’m missing but I’m very good tech-wise and thus my criticism of how this app is not intuitive to use. I think its design could use significant improvements.

### 1/5 — Jokers

*2025-08-17, version 7.3.0*

Go through everything setting up then told to pay ridiculous amount monthly. 
It’s a pool test kit, come on 🙄

### 5/5 — Great App for us Poolis

*2025-07-31, version 7.2.0*

I like the fact that this was designed, built and maintained by an experienced pool guy who's also a talented Software Engineer. What a great combination! 

This app is very helpful to keep all your pool information in one spot. It might be helpful to be able to add your equipment- brand, model, S/N and service history and notes such as operational settings, etc.

The developer seeks customer input and continually upgrade the app.

I’m sure the developer will incorporate AI going forward.
