If you use this on an iphone 11 you cannot press the buttons to indicate test strip colour, if you put in manual readings it gives you inappropriate dosages of chemicals. My wifes phone (an iphone 8) it works perfectly. So dont do what i did and put loads of chemicals in on day one and regret it..... please update app to work on more modern iphones. (Btw canadian spa excellent company so far and dont judge them on this app!) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work!! *2019-06-13, version 1.4* After being told to get this app by a Canadian spa engineer it crashes every time you try to log your test. Does the same on my husbands phone too. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Needs zoom function *2023-09-11, version 1.94* Under start up guide, maintenance schedule, and chemical troubleshooting, print is too small and hard to read. ### 1/5 — Would be great if it worked for my Yukon Tub *2022-12-22, version 1.94* I have a brand new iPhone 14pro. I bought a Yukon 2 person tub and it's constantly telling me my ph and chlorine and alkalinity are too low. I can put the heights bales in and it still tells me it's too low. Messed up my hot tube chemical set up using this app. I lept adding alkalinity booster as that's what it told me to do. And now I'm going to have to call the company anytime I need to know what to add to my tub and the measurements. I've tried selecting different countries and different hot tub models and it's the same issue. Funny I call the company and their apps work great on those iPhones ?! So odd ### 1/5 — L’application buggue et sort directe *2022-09-20, version 1.91* Tout est dans le titre ### 1/5 — App is useless *2022-04-18, version 1.91* Doesn’t accurately tell you how much chemicals to add. Only good for selling their produces! Useless. told me to put 300g of alkalinity than I did and tested again and nothing changed! No matter what I put in for amounts the out come is always the same. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2022-03-20, version 1.91* Using on iPhone 12, when I type in the numbers to test it says add 147g alkalinity booster but I already added 200g as that’s what it first told me and it’s now off the scale and still telling me to add more. This needs fixed pronto. ### 1/5 — Same with me can’t click on buttons *2021-06-29, version 1.9* Have iPhone 11 and use other hot tub 600l and won’t let me click on buttons and when enter values in it says to add 300g ### 1/5 — Good concept but.:.. *2021-05-17, version 1.9* It’s a great idea and will be very helpful when working: iPhone 8 Plus - can’t select the colours, when manually type the scores it gives the same recommended treatment regardless of what scores you enter. Ie you can enter that the pH is 14 and it will tell you your alkalinity is too low and need to add alkaline booster. ### 1/5 — App is utterly useless *2021-05-16, version 1.9* I have tested the water properly, put the details in. The app asked me for “spa capacity” but it failed to ask me whether it wants litres or gallons. Then the tester kit reading says it’s fine but the app says everything is too low. What do I go by? I think I’ll just take the tester pot readings and go with that. ### 1/5 — Alkalinity problems *2021-03-06, version 1.8* The test strips say that the alkalinity is too high but the app tells you to add alkalinity booster... Confused.... ### 1/5 — Dangerous guide to chemicals *2020-09-14, version 1.7* After speaking to Canadian spa about getting the chemicals right in our swift current they recommended we use this app along with Canadian spa test strips. Well we have done this exactly as described with the quantities of the Canadian spa chemicals and now the alkalinity of the water is off the scale. Luckily I have tested again and the app still says add 287g of alkaline booster!!!! Very dangerous!!!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Works great *2023-08-28, version 1.94* Nice reference for the levels and it is a good guide for beginners. ### 5/5 — Great app *2023-04-11, version 1.94* This is great addition to help out clients make use of their balancing ### 5/5 — Brilliant App *2021-07-12, version 1.9* This is a brilliant app & my water has been soot on since using. I now recommend to all. Hope that’s ok? Well done Canadian Spa xx ### 5/5 — Great app! Easy to use! *2021-05-22, version 1.9* This is a great app to use if you haven’t owned a hot tub. Very user friendly and gives you the information you need to care for you spa. There are links to service, backyard delivery and social media pages as well! ### 5/5 — This is great *2019-03-01, version 1.2* The app is amazing and easy to use makes your hot tub looking great again ### 5/5 — Great !! *2018-12-22, version 1.2* Very useful ! 👍🏼 ### 5/5 — Easiest to use, by far! *2018-10-25, version 1.0* I originally used test strips from the chemical kit where I got the spa from and always added a bit of this and that, tested for lots of things and read everything very carefully. Maybe I’m just over cautious but it took awhile for me to do the tests and decide which chemicals and how much to add for the capacity of my Niagara model. Since it was more complicated, only I did it. With the Canadian Spa app and chemicals it is SO EASY! I set which spa I had (although I think you can just plug in the capacity of your spa if not a Canadian Spa) and it tells you exactly what you need to put in for start up or whatever reading you get - in exact doses - no calculator needed! I went on holiday for a week with my family but I was able to let my parents know exactly what to do with just a simple phone call and instructions! I’m so excited and hyped about the easiness of this app I have already recommended it to several of my friends with spas! ### 4/5 — Great app easy to use but .. *2020-08-14, version 1.7* Would be great if you could also choose bromine instead of chlorine. Then It would be perfect. ### 2/5 — Plante a la sélection des produits *2021-10-15, version 1.91* POUR CEUX QUI ONT L’APPLICATION QUI PLANTE, SÉLECTIONNEZ UN AUTRE PAYS DANS LES RÉGLAGES! ### 2/5 — Bug??? *2021-08-21, version 1.9* Le logiciel de test de l’eau ne fonctionne plus depuis quelques temps, on sort direct de l’application --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
