Ratings and reviews

The app works, but needs more work to be easier to use. For example, some parts of the app are greyed out making it look like those parts are disabled when in fact they should be completed for more accurate information. There is no documentation available on this app so some places where it asks for things are not clear, especially for someone who bought the ColorQ 2x to make all these pool readings and chemical recommendations easier. The documents in the ColorQ 2x don't include any information on this app, only that the unit has bluetooth. I only found out about it from a review, so more information would be helpful. Speaking of which, I've only tried it twice so far, but the recommendations I get from the app leave much to be desired. I wish it would tell me how much chlorine, acid, etc to add based on the readings and my specific pool info which I entered into the app. I bought the ColorQ 2x in the hopes that I wouldn't have to figure this out and it would tell me based on all the information it has. Bottom line, this app and system have a lot of potential, I hope Lamotte does more work to make this a much better app and system.

I'm not sure what the deal is but this system was highly recommended and I've had some issues. But after 9 months of use it just died. Can't get it to generate a report at all and I've tried everything, hard reset, reinstall the app, change batteries, test some chemicals... I think LaMotte needs to get on this PDQ and figure out what's up cause I can't recommend this to people based on this experience.

I think they need to go back to the drawing board as of the last I used this app before I threw the meter, test kit et al in the trash. Readings were inconsistent, it was a pain to log in to get test results recommendations which at the end were drain the pool and start over which I had done. Our water is like 300ppm hardness and it just goes up from there so I drain the pool when CYA is 100ppm. I really liked this method even though it was a pain because I don't like guessing shades of colors
