The SHO-FLOW app is a dual featured application that can be used with or without a TFT SHO-FLOW® Bluetooth® flow meter. When used in conjunction with a SHO-FLOW, users can determine actual flow rates for fire hose lines and nozzles as well as calculate true Pump Discharge Pressures (PDP), Nozzle Reaction, and Hose Friction. In addition an NFPA 1962 nozzle flow test can be performed. As a stand-alone water flow calculator, many of these functions can be performed using established fire flow formulas. The app also includes water flow education videos and recommendations for target fire flows when using water or foam. The TFT SHO-FLOW flow meter is designed to quickly determine flow rates present in a fire hose line and wirelessly transmit the rate to a nearby smart device. Any firefighting, training, or testing operation that utilizes hose lines or nozzles is a potential application. Please read the manual before operation.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Scott Sight at 100% against SHO's 0%. Scott Sight also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.2). SHO's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 14 months) and rating (4.2 vs 4.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
SHO holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SHO has 12 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Scott Sight's written reviews are positive against 0% of SHO's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Scott Sight ships an update every 14 months, SHO every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and June 2, 2026 respectively.
