Features & Capabilities

The Pinch A Penny Mobile App makes it possible for you to have the perfect pool all year. You can easily test for Free Available Chlorine, pH, Calcium Hardness, Alkalinity and Cyanuric Acid using a test strip or liquid test kit, and also get solutions for combating algae or cloudy water. Test your water using our Porpoise Test Strips and capture the results with your camera or enter your results manually to get a detailed prescription specific to your pool. Sign into the Pinch A Penny app with your phone number to track your water test history both in the app and in-store. Please note, water testing within the app is for residential swimming pools.

User Reviews

Users appreciate access to pool data (transactions, water test results) and the pool profile via the app, but reliability and core features are seriously lacking. A majority report persistent login and account creation problems, including loops and password issues. The in-app shopping experience is broken—no product listings or ability to buy. The app is often slow and unresponsive, with intermittent crashes or login failures. The water test strip scanning is unreliable for many users, though a few find it helpful. Overall, the app underdelivers on essential functionality.

Pros

Sign in and access account data (transaction history, water test results) and create a pool profile.
The ability to view water test results online is helpful.
Water test strip scanning feature exists and can be useful for some users.

Cons

In-app shopping is nonfunctional: no product listings and you cannot make purchases.
Account creation and login problems are widespread (endless loops, password issues, 'no account found').
The app is frequently slow and unresponsive, with unstable performance.
Test strip scanning/reading is unreliable and often fails to read strips.

Why the creator test the app to see how bad the app is?

The app opens great. It will not allow you to shop because it “doesn’t have OneTrust data..”. A good thing is it has the water test data from a few of the times I’ve had it there, but under purchase history it shows 70 something dollars worth of chemicals I purchased but not the nearly $400 I spent on a pool vacuum from them. Very insufficient. I would just take it down until it can communicate well with the store. If Panera can do it so can pinch a penny. It would also prove profitable for you. But hey that’s not important as a business, is it?
