### 3/5 — Mostly good

*2025-08-03, version 1.2*

Works well but doesn’t read chlorine on the easy test strips

### 1/5 — Unreliable

*2025-06-03*

It is too unreliable and most of the time. I have attempted all types of natural light, never direct sunlight, different distances to the Aqua Check strips and most of the time I get “Cannot read”. I will rely on my eyes.

### 5/5 — Fantastic App

*2025-01-27*

I love the concept of this app - can’t wait till it starts to suggest chemicals to add to balance a spa or pool

### 2/5 — Unable to read effectively

*2024-08-14, version 1.2*

Not very usefull app. Supports a very limited of test strip brands.  Scanner accept my scan once every 10 tries so it’s more frustrating than usefull.

### 1/5 — Unreliable

*2024-05-29*

This app is not giving reliable readings. If you read the strip 3 times you will get 3 wildly different readings

### 1/5 — No consistency

*2024-02-09*

I can take a pic of the strip 10 times and get completely different readings.  Being colorblind I thought this would help but I can count on the results.

### 1/5 — Aquarium test trips

*2024-01-17*

Was hoping the popular aquarium API 5 in 1 test strips were included but unfortunately not.  Any chance you could add thease.  There would be a big market for the app if it did thease sorts of tests.

### 1/5 — Misreading and inaccurate

*2023-12-18*

I had high hopes for this app to make up for my color blindness, however it doesn’t really work well in my experience. It is a shame, as it should be easy enough to find white point based on the “blank” sections of the strip to calibrate and then read the patches more accurately…but it doesn’t.

### 5/5 — Does exactly what it says it should

*2023-11-11, version 1.2*

Streamlined, no ads, easy to use, tracks history and does exactly what it says it does :)

### 5/5 — Good App

*2023-11-03, version 1.2*

I like this app. I think I need more practice to ensure I get consistent results, but it seems to match my eyeballing the test strips color scale. It’s important to follow the guidance in the help section. 

I also like the handy reference for the various water parameters. 

As a future function, I’m wondering if a photo import of a test strip could be added? This could simplify process. 

The price is reasonable and worth it. 

Thanks for developing this and I look forward to future developments.
