I saw this tool and looked up myself and found I was listed as having an h-index of 100 (which is less than the actual h-index). I found out this was because it only takes the first 100 papers from my Google Scholar profile https://scholar.google.ca/citations?user=wQywY-EAAAAJ&hl=en 
I could not figure out how to correct this and the settings on the side of my scholarometer profile state that the minimum number of citations is 152 and the latest year is 2012.

Dear Dr. Hancock, and all Scholarometer users,

We wanted to share an update on this issue. Currently we cannot go
past 100 publications. This only affects authors with h>100.

We found that this problem is due to a recent change in how Google
Scholar presents the results. From time to time we need to update the
Scholarometer extension to adapt to these changes. We are working on
it and hope to be able to release a fix. We do not have a firm
timeline for the fix, because two students who used to work on
Scholarometer have recently graduated and left IU.

Thanks to all users for your patience.

Thanks for telling me; I know the problems with having students graduate. Would be a good thing to fix anyway as it will affect the total number of citations recorded for anyone with more than 100 publications.
