We have a 2 year old pool that has multiple cracks in the bottom and sides of the pool. Most of the cracks are long and run between the infloor cleaners. The pool company that installed the pool just drained the pool and put something in each of the cracks. Then cracks might be fixed but the stuff they used makes the cracks very obvious because it doesn't blend with the gunite color. Is there anything that can be done to make it look better?

What you probably need are concrete staples and new plaster. I would not be surprised if that crack opened up again in a few years.

Right on awj22 those cracks are gonna grow looks like hydraulic cement patch. On a 2 year old pool I would insist on warranty repair and then a new plaster coat if it really is as bad as it looks
For what it's worth I have had pretty strong success with carbon fiber staples. Much easier install and less impact on the shell. That is if you can get them to warranty repair.
Pool Repair Staples. Carbon Fiber Kevlar Repair by Fortress Stabilization is where I got the idea. I used Rhino crack locks. We did quite a few(~150) on my pool. a little over a year ago.
