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. Note: after the device is automatically shut off, should open Bluetooth data transmission according to the above methods.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Linksys at 4.7 against Mano's 3.0. Linksys also leads on ratings volume (98K vs 2). Mano's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and review sentiment (50% vs 21%). On price, ads, monetization model and device support 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. Linksys sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Mano asks for nothing beyond the download.
Linksys holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Linksys has 98K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 21% of Linksys's written reviews are positive against 50% of Mano's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Linksys ships an update every 5 weeks, Mano every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and June 1, 2026 respectively.
