This app was created so you don't have to go all over the internet and search for all sorts of different answers. It gives you a way to track your basic pool chemistry and also provides basic recommendations to correct pool chemistry so your water is nice and clear. NOTE: If your pool water is completely jacked up, seek professional help in clearing up and sanitizing your pool. This app is intended to help the average pool owner and not be a definitive solution for pool chemistry. The creators of the Pool Chemistry Assistant app make no guarantees or warranty any solutions or results when relying or using the app. Basic functions include: - Having multiple pools (if you're that rich or just want to help others with their pools) - Calculate pool capacity based on basic round or rectangular shape - Has a toggle for if you're using the PoolRX pod in your pump intake basket - Record pH, Chlorine, and Alkalinity readings. - Provide a Treatment Dosage report based on your readings and what to add based on your pool volume. - Log & Notes page shows a graph of 3 weeks of the 3 main readings logged. - You can edit the log entries after you've saved them. - You can save your recordings and logs to iCloud for a back-up but, all data is kept on your device. Any feedback is welcome and appreciated.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Pool Chemistry Assistant at every 6 days against PoolSense's every 2 months. PoolSense's advantage is iOS requirement (10.0 vs 26.5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
