2026-06-10	tm*****	There is a lot of bugs in app. I have the marine master and that software is also buggy. In Hanna lab if you choose measure pick any test after hit send to device it says not available in this mode, lol. The marine master itself a lot of tests very wrong. Example HI 774 says shake bottle till dissolved. This is supposed to be shake bottle for 2 minutes. I sent a lot of info to Hanna. Let’s see if they fix it.

BUT my only recommendation would be to add the timers during testing into the app, as well as adding timers in the photometer for all timed steps, such as the 30 second shaking for magnesium. If you have a 3 minute timer for waiting at the end of the magnesium test, you can do 30 seconds to time you shaking the reagent.

It’s can just import logs from the device, can’t be used to monitor test statuses when in tutorial mode.. I mean.. seriously. It’s state is reset each time it’s backgrounded and disconnected from the device. What a waste.

2018-12-18	Jo*****	I’ve been using this app for about nine months. It has worked well although it is always been finicky connecting to the probe via the app. Sometimes it would connect automatically, other times I would have to reestablish the connection manually. Now I can’t get it to connect at all which means I can’t measure pH in my brewery.

It was most likely UPS, so before you go giving terrible reviews why don't you call the service center. They have been very helpful to me, especially when I broke my first electrode they sent a replacement free of charge). It is an accurate meter, affordable, and the app for my iPad mini runs very smooth. I love that it stays accurate over many uses. I mean, the ability to save calibration is very nice. I've also done data logging with the app, and it is awesome to be able to download the data points to a csv file and create a curve in Excel. It's a jaw dropper in the kitchen when I get the Bluetooth meter out and link it to my iPad. It's awesome to get such a response to the equipment! I recommend to everyone looking to get a nice, accurate, affordable pH meter...

2014-12-23	BR*****	I have been wanting to try this app for a very long time, as the HALO probe and this app could be extremely useful in my business, however the notes system is horrible!! Being able to enter relevant information about my samples is what makes this useful, but I get like 2 seconds to hit a tiny little button at the top of the display so I can enter 14 characters.. what!!! Honestly infuriating. There ought to be tags like twitter for sorting in addition to a notes section where I can enter other relevant information and maybe even snap a picture! Might even be cool to incorporate the camera throughout for certain lab work, live video feed with ph displayed! I don't think loading a picture should be an option, only in app pictures.
