Useless app!!!

Works good. But interface is not beautiful!

Worthless

I bought two sets of Smart probes and an IPad thinking I could use them on twin circuits, one set with the phone and the other set with an IPad.
It refuses to run both sets of probes at the same time, making them totally useless for Commercial and Industrial units.

Useless, won’t work with my Testo tools

I own 8 tools and Payed fair amount for them.
Only way I can use them is with MeasureQuick!
Pressure gauges are accurate in MQ on test bottle and able to Zero. And also can calibrate my temperature sensors.
Can’t get my LP gage to zero or read psi in Testo.
Very disappointed ,sensors expensive junk if you can’t read them!

Response from developer

Please switch to our new Smart App in the Appstore. Performance issues should be solved there in any case. You will also be impressed by the new design and user interface. Your testo team!

Ability to save favorite Refrigerant needed

The app works pretty well. I’ve used it for years and have learned how to deal with it. My 2 main complaints is when you lose signal with your probs they don’t auto reconnect, you have to close out the app and then they will reconnect. And the lack of a favorite list or the ability to reorganize refrigerants like you can in the testo manifold app. If that small change could be made I could give it a higher rating. But with the amount of time I spend each day scrolling through the refrigerants list makes me want to try the fieldpiece probes.

There are better apps for connecting these probs to

This app is 5 years behind the competition. Its like they lost interest in the app after manufacturing the wireless probs. It needs a major update.
