### 5/5 — Fantastic app for pool maintenance!

*2026-06-18*

This app is a really great app for helping me maintain a clear and clean pool. I don’t like wasting money on unnecessary chemicals and the recommendations have been very accurate - making maintenance get easier and easier through the season.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the review and enjoy the swim season!

### 5/5 — Fixed App issue

*2026-06-16*

There was a bug that I reported through my review where I couldn’t use the APP. Within days the bug was corrected and now I’ll be using the APP!

**Developer response:** Very sorry to hear you were unable to use Simple Pool! I investigated and found an issue where the button to proceed was indeed pushed off of the screen for some screen sizes and have since fixed that issue. Thank you for the feedback and I hope you are able to give Simple Pool another go!

Edit: So glad to hear the issue was resolved for you! Please feel free to reach out with any future suggestions!

### 5/5 — Simply the Best

*2026-06-04*

Simple Poll is the best chemical tracking app for homeowners. I don’t manage multiple pools but it seems straightforward if you are a business owner (and as of this review, it’s just a one time fee of $9.99). The user interface is thoughtful and elegant, and the app is helpful with recommendations and reminders. There is no paywall to access essential features like logging multiple things per day, as is the case with other popular pool tracking apps. Additionally, the developer is extremely responsive and continues to make improvements with input from the community. Would highly recommend.

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for using Simple Pool and for the detailed review! I hope you continue enjoying the app and have an excellent swim season!

### 5/5 — So User Friendly!

*2026-04-21*

Other apps were too confusing for me. This has everything I need and doesn’t  go overboard with obscure stuff (if you’re into that, that’s great but I was looking for all the necessary stuff without needing a chemistry PhD).  Thank you!

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for using Simple Pool and for taking the time to review!!

### 5/5 — Helpful

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review! Its very appreciated!

### 5/5 — Very nice

*2026-02-25*

Started using this at the end of last season. App has been very accurate and I’ll be using it to this spring and summer too.

**Developer response:** Thanks for choosing Simple Pool and taking the time to review!

### 5/5 — Super Simple

*2025-08-06*

I came across this app on Reddit after i decided to start doing my own pool.  This is the simplest app I’ve used, and I’ve tried them all.  Very user friendly, no frills, no gimmicks, just straight to the point.  i highly recommend Simple Pool to anyone that is ready to take over their pool!!!

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review! I really appreciate it!

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.8.6 — 2026-08-05

• Salt levels can be corrected on a saved test, not only when you first log it.
• Test entry is more consistent, with matching colors on the quick-value buttons and alkalinity options that step by 10 up to 120 ppm.

Thanks for using Simple Pool! - Christian

### 1.8.4 — 2026-07-23

What’s new:
• Choose Pool or Spa for temperature, sanitizer, and pH guidance tailored to your water.
• Liquid Stabilizer is now available in dosing preferences, recommendations, and the chemical effects calculator.
• Metric temperatures now work consistently throughout the app, with expanded translations and clearer range explanations.
