Application of software 1)Connect Bluetooth: power on gauge->turn on Bluetooth function of mobile phone->turn on manometer APP->press “DIF” key on gauge for a long time until upward gauge shows “REL”. When manometer software is installed and turned on for the first time, it enters into “BLE Device List” interface by default rather than main interface. Press backspace key of mobile phone to return to main interface. When manometer software is turned on later, it will directly enter into main interface. When many gauges with Bluetooth function are working, press icon under main interface and manometer enters into “BLE Device List” interface to check or select gauge you want to connect.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Mano at 50% against CORE Service's 0%. Mano also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (8 vs 14.0). CORE Service's advantage is rating (3.6 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (19 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
CORE Service holds the better App Store score, 3.6 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CORE Service has 19 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Mano's written reviews are positive against 0% of CORE Service's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Mano ships an update every 2 weeks, CORE Service every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on June 1, 2026 and August 15, 2026 respectively.
