### 5/5 — Oma wir vermissen dich

*2026-07-02*

Als meine Oma gesehen hat das ich die App besitze hat sie mich als Enttäuschung bezeichnet und ist aus dem Fenster gesprungen und gestorben:( App läuft gut👍

**Developer response:** Ich möchte Ihrer Familie mein Beileid aussprechen.

### 5/5 — im from Israel and i LOVE this app!!!!!!!🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱

*2026-06-22, version 6.2.2*

ts app is so spiritually Israeli, it helps fund my idf work and i love using it to destroy my enemies! Trump 2028

### 1/5 — vernier ate my cat

*2026-06-16, version 6.2.2*

one day my cat was living a happy and healthy life. i had to download this app for my school and when i came home i saw the tickle monster with my cat in its mouth. it told me it was sent by vernier. i was devastated. the next day, i woke up blind with type 86 diabetes. this app will curse you and your family for all eternity. do NOT download.

### 5/5 — It took my girlfriend 🤧

*2026-05-14, version 6.2.2*

My girlfriend is a physician and she loves physics and vernier the god he is took her and now they live in a y/n relationship ceo X y/n and I got fired from my job.

### 1/5 — Go Direct Drop Counter sucks so bad

*2026-05-10, version 6.2.2*

(this is a review for the Vernier hardware, not software.)

Vernier Go Direct Drop Counter creates multitude of issues in recording. 1) it counts drops when there are no drops, e.g. when glassware several cm below the sensor is being moved by sliding. 2) it does no recording when the drops are passing 0.5 cm away from the center of the sensor - the drops are still going well within the sensor are but you don’t get a reading - no mark on the tool is given to indicate the working center of the sensor. 3) sometimes, it does no recording when your hands are just ~10cm away from it.

Completely unreliable. Waste of money.

### 5/5 — Ganz okay

*2026-04-28*

Mein Vater hat mich seit dem nutzten der App verlassen. Aber sonst ist die App gut.

### 1/5 — Hate it hate it hate it bad bad bad

*2026-04-21*

My chemistry teacher held me at gunpoint and forced me to download this app! The app immediately proceeded to track my location, and when I went home, SEPHIROTH from final fantasy 7 SHOWED UP AT MY HOUSE and proceeded to kill my entire family and then burned my house down. I’m currently hiding in a bush, and I can hear him walking towards me. His voice is super hot and it’s making me super hard. Idk I might just let him kill me or do whatever he wants with me. I’ll be his submissive gay boyfriend 🤤🤤

### 4/5 — Totally tubular!

*2026-04-16*

This app gave me testicular cancer, which was a rather frightening diagnosis as a young woman. This app also peer pressured me into trying meth and looksmaxxing, which has been sugoi so far! As my lab partner did significantly more work than I, she was immediately restrained and given a transgender operation (he said it was a 10/10 experience) but vernier also gave him a tail. All said, I totally recommend this app if you wish for the results i listed above!

### 1/5 — My experience with app (BAD!!!!)

*2026-04-15*

One day, my chem teacher tells my to download this app. I think whatever, how bad could it be? If i could go back in time to tell myself that it’s very very genkirkulinely bad I would. I let it connect to bluetooth because im using a ph reader. Suddenly, I hear a loud boom. Vernier graphical analysis had blown up the east wing of my school. It allows itself to my microphone and camera and tells me to plead with it to not brutally assasinate my entire family. I beg on all fours and bark (as requested) before it finally lets the hostages go. DO NOT DOWNLOAD.

### 1/5 — Do not put up your butt

*2026-04-15, version 6.2.2*

It felt kinda good at first but my butt got really red and started to expand so I don’t recommend
