Anybody knows Flipr?

Seems to be a water analiser which sends data to the cloud which you can pick up with your Flipr mobile app. It’s subscription based and not cheap. What do you think? Useful? Scam?

Same as all the rest of these new "smart" testing things flooding the market. Has a thermometer, pH sensor, and an ORP sensor. ORP sensors are supposed to give you chlorine readings, but they are affected by so many variables that they are virtually useless for these things.

Waste of money. I have seen easily a dozen of these that are all identical in operation. Only 1 useful sensor (pH) and the apps are all equally worthless.

I’m actually getting pretty good test results from my WaterGuru. FC within 1, occasionally 2ppm, pH within 0.1 or so.

Doesn’t stop me from using my Taylor kit to test every week to verify and check, and wouldn’t really help during a SLAM, but for me it’s nice to have it do the heavy daily testing lifting.
