Review summary

PASCO Spectrometry app is intended to work only with specific external spectrometer hardware. Many users are frustrated due to lack of clear instructions about hardware requirements and compatibility issues on various devices. The app frequently fails to load or shows blank screens for many users, and the interface is not user-friendly. However, when properly connected to the dedicated hardware via USB or Bluetooth, the app functions as expected. Some users appreciate the built-in spectra viewing feature even without hardware, but overall, the app is not suitable as a standalone solution for casual users or without purchasing additional equipment.

Pros

The app works perfectly fine once connected to the required external hardware or via USB OTG cable.
The app allows viewing spectra of built-in elements even without a spectrometer device.
Some users report the app works well on certain devices like Samsung S8.

Cons

The app requires specific external hardware (a spectrum analyzer) but does not clearly inform users about this requirement.
Many users experience the app not working or showing a white blank screen on various devices.
The app is not user-friendly and has a complicated or jumbled interface.
Compatibility issues with devices like Samsung Note 8, Galaxy S10e, and A5 2016 were frequently mentioned.
Users complain the app is effectively useless without the external device and does not function as a standalone spectrometer using the phone camera.

2023-06-04	Ya*****	Not an App made for laymen Spectometry. You need a specific device. If your are looking for a spectrogram from your phone camera, don't look here. (To the devs: please name the App appropriately)
