User Reviews

  • I've been using MySQM Pro for a couple of years and am happy to see it is still being improved. The Raspberry PI compatible application is a huge bonus and I'm grateful to Rob for getting this up and running. I'm not a programmer, just a tester and tinkerer so although I've found certain aspects of this quite tricky, it's doable with the right instructions. Keep it up Rob!
