Liked online version so installed app, but it forces me to create an account to track pool. Just want a simple calculator, no tracking, and don't want yet another account. So app is a non starter for me. I'm a senior software engineer, & understand having to find a balance in covering costs. Suggest free app with no account for simple calculator functionality, add in some ads for local device storage tracking, & small tier-based subscription for cloud-based tracking.

A one star and didn't even use the app. Classic "senior software engineer" move. The app has features that require an account, you'd know that if you tried it. The website is a progressive web app if you want just a calculator that feels like an app. Thanks for the other suggestions but you have no idea what you're talking about.

Was an amazing app until the ads showed up. I used this last year and it was perfect. Now, you are forced to watch a video ad EVERY SINGLE TIME you use any of the calculators. Even if you dont navigate out of the current screen and use the same calculator twice in a row with a new value, you are forced to watch an ad. Nothing is free and I'm sure cost increased in some way for the developer, but not willing to pay a recurring monthly fee for a non-proprietary calculation table.

Thanks for the feed back, glad you previously liked the app. I'll be updating ads to find a better balance. Sorry for this, I tried to avoid ads as long as possible but to continue work on this free app I needed revenue from ads. If you don't want to see the ads you can purchase a subscription. Thanks for your understanding!

Great until I had to create an account. I don't mind ads. The developer should not have to work for free and watching ads doesn't cost me money. However, I do not believe an account is necessary to calculate chlorine ppm/dosing. I actually use this calculator to calculate dosing for chlorine injection while operating industrial sized water treatment systems in refineries. I'll just find another app, less ad revenue and by extension a loss of business.

An account is required for some of the features like sharing the pool with another user like a customer. I geared the app towards pool service people, like myself, to better manage our customers pool so the app may not be for everyone. You can still use the webapp without an account for the calculations you mentioned. Poolchemicalcalculator.com
