Ratings and reviews

app is basically useless. the auto capture doesn't work. on the iPhone version there are grey and back squares to line up the strip. but in this android version they forgot the grey square. the manual capture button also doesn't work most the time. the one time I did get results they were nowhere near correct. at least on the iPhone version of app the results are only off by 1 or 1.5 color blocks. still not accurate enough to actually use that way.

App is good for manual entry of readings off of the strips and advice on adjustments. Had no problem getting the app to read the pictures, but it recorded very inaccurate results. (water hardness was clearly 250 to my eye, app returned a hardness of 0..etc) I will use the app to manually enter results. But, will not use the camera feature. It's a waste of time and strips.

Built in camera app does not work. Constantly gives error telling me to align the dots. They are aligned, no photo ever taken. You have to hold the phone 3 feet above the strip because it is super zoomed in and the delay when moving the camera is horrible. Should just be able to take the picture and add it to the app. Completely useless. Would give it 0 stars if possible. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME.
