Build 885360470v1.6.02026-05-07 19:28:02
NEW - Chemical Inventory (Pro)
Keep track of the chemicals you have at home. When you log a chemical addition, Simple Pool deducts it from your inventory automatically — so you'll know exactly what you need before your next pool store run. Includes smart matching, cross-unit math (oz/lb, fl oz/gallons), and low-stock alerts.
SMARTER CHLORINE TARGETS
Quick Tests skip CYA, and Full Tests sometimes do too. Simple Pool now falls back to your most recent CYA reading (within 60 days) so chlorine recommendations stay accurate. If there's no recent reading, you'll see a heads-up that the target is approximate — and a friendly reminder to test CYA when convenient.
METRIC FIX
The Chemical Effects Calculator now correctly handles metric units. Thanks to everyone who reported this!
Plus polish, translation updates, and a few quiet fixes under the hood.
Build 885196531v1.5.82026-05-03 01:55:43
Easier reinstalls. If you've used Simple Pool before, you'll now see a prompt to restore your data from iCloud when you set up the app again - no hunting through Settings required.
iCloud sync refreshes instantly. Toggling iCloud sync on or off no longer requires force-quitting the app. Simple Pool refreshes automatically and picks up right where you left off.
Redesigned navigation. The toolbar is cleaner and faster to use. Pool switching and Settings are now always one tap away.
Share cards look better. When sharing a test result, your pool photo now appears as the card background if no test photo was taken.
Bug fixes and performance improvements.
Build 885037636v1.5.62026-04-29 01:54:01
Simple Pool now makes it easier to log test results from other apps. Share a pool screenshot to Simple Pool, review the detected readings, make any needed edits, and save them to your test log.
This update also improves manual entry fields in Add Test and Quick Test, making it clearer when you can type a custom value instead of choosing one of the quick-select options.
Build 884380114v1.5.42026-04-23 02:37:32
This update makes sharing your pool results even easier with improved test share cards and a smoother preview experience. We also made a round of UI refinements, localization updates, and small bug fixes to keep Simple Pool feeling fast, polished, and ready for the season.

Also includes stability improvements and under-the-hood refinements.
Build 883309621v1.4.62026-03-13 17:08:57
This update adds a Water Balance Gauge to your test results - a visual indicator that shows whether your water is corrosive, balanced, or scale forming at a glance (CSI). No more decoding raw numbers.
Also includes stability improvements and under-the-hood refinements.
Build 883140419v1.4.42026-03-08 18:35:29
