Leave a Review Aquarimate
Exactly what I needed
I wanted an app to save a history of water testing results from my aquarium. This app is great for that & will even create a graph & put reminders for tank maintenance on your calendar. If you put in all your animals it will alert you to possible conflicts in compatibility. There are features I haven’t made full use of, I’m still putting in all my tank inhabitants, chemicals & equipment. There’s a place to store photos, a wishlist - I’m not even scratching the surface I feel. Worth the money.Show lessGrendelsMothra
Great app with lots of promise!
Overall, this is the single best app I've found for managing my tanks.
That said, when you're managing more than one, some of the newer features can be a bit unwiely. For instance, right now, you have to recreate things like supplements and foods for each of tanks, even though it's probably the same bottle being used. It strikes me that they those sections might work better being tank-agnostic. Then we could create feeding or dosing tasks for any tank and choose from that central list of foods/supplments.
Thanks for your continued efforts to improve the app!Show lessLukeSalinas
Updated review
I deleted and reinstalled the app and now it opens again. I only wish the developer suggested this to me the two times I contacted them for assistance. I love the app I was just frustrated when it would not open without trying for days at a time. Now that I reinstalled it seems to open when I click on it again.Show lessReefrats
Love this app
Edit: the update option no longer works. If I try to change an entry it changes back when I open the app again…
I religiously use this app to track the parameters of my tank. The new update is great, love that everything is in one place. One suggestion, I track a lot of parameters so I have to scroll to select the one I want. Can you make some dashboard organizing options? I use the parameters more than tasks and that leaves a lot of blank space at the bottom I could use to double stack the parameter icons so I don’t have to scroll. Regardless this app rocks, thanks for the update!Show lessZach.King
No issues
Some of the tasks are manual and suggested input would be a great added feature. Maybe allow users to share data and create an average for certain parameters? Either way a great organizational tool!BrentSwanee
Perfect Reef Maintenance App
I have used this app probably since it came out. The changes the developer has made I really like with the latest update. It is so nice to customize what I need it to do and to have the reminders at a glance so I don’t fall behind. I have an additional reef aquarium in my son’s room that I have a separate tank setup on here separately which is another nice feature. I might upgrade to the advanced version someday.Show lessblizzardscout2
Developer Response
Thanks for your review. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or suggestions.Nice update, but . . .
I like the redesign except one thing, no button to access parameters. I like how they are displayed at the top, but took me a few minutes to figure out how to add a reading. A dedicated button as before would be nicer and faster.Kdhander
Fantastic App
Just a great aquarium app. I’ve been using for 6+ months across my three tanks and am extremely happy and satisfied.
Once you set up your tank and get used to adding livestock, equipment, feeding/dosing, tasks, etc. it really starts to shine. Reminders for feeding/dosing/maintenance are all there. Ease of use for multiple tanks. Ability to add pictures, add notes, document anything and everything else.
It’s a must have for any avid aquarist.Show lessThe Original Pratzie
Don’t waste your money.
High purchase price for the app, and a yearly subscription feature for $10 per year for cloud access. GUI isn’t smooth or intuitive. App hasn’t been updated in 3 years. It’s still one of the better ones out there, but it isn’t going to get any better and it is inevitable that it breaks when iOS updates.Show lessKimchiShadow
A must have if maintain multiple tanks
I have used this app for about 5 years. There are no other programs like Aquarimate, at least not that I have found. Honestly, I no longer even look for another one. The ease from setting up a new system to viewing a tanks analytics from a mature system is a breeze.
The ability to add livestock, plants, corals and invertebrate to a particular set up couples with the notes is a huge plus. This is primarily what I use it for. A few years ago I developed a leak in a tank. I never removed fish for breeding from this tank, but if you notice extra fish from breeding add them to your livestock count. If I hadn’t recorded the number of fish in that tank I would have missed several of the Pygmy Cory.
If a tank crashes you can delete the whole system or keep it and start a new system.
The biggest drawback for this app is there are no standard drop menus for water parameters. Every time I set up a system I must re-enter everything. It’s time consuming but worth it.
On a lesser note, the livestock and plant list could have more, and a way to upload a pic to notes would really help too. If there is a way to do any of these things they need to make it more obvious.Show lessHaydenStone
