Leave a Review Aquarimate
Great App but needs some fine-tuning.
Really like this. It’s the best of all the ones I’ve tried (so far). However, simple things can be frustrating.
For example you cannot add two test results for the same day. If you test your water in the morning and then again at night on the same day it forces you to “update results” - there should be the option for a time of day to avoid this. Or a test # for the same date.
Another scheduling limitation is not being able to schedule based on day of week. You can do every 30 days or the 1st of every month, but you cannot do the first Saturday of every month, for example.Show lessHoldOutYourFotos!
Charged Twice and You Can’t Cancel
When the app downloads you are automatically charged $9.99 and there is no way to cancel and delete the app in a timely manner. You are unable to even look at the app to see if you want to pay the $9.99 a year.
When the charge went through my bank account it charged me twice two separate charges of $9.99 I am currently trying to get a refund for both charges as the app is not worth $9.99 a year.
The features are limited the database of different fish and plants is minimal and it’s just not worth it.Show lessrichmo58
Just what I needed!
Does exactly what I need to track water levels over several tanks. Has neat database and livestock tracker and useful task reminder. The “live” add on makes tracking on several devices and computers a breeze. If you love tracking data in paper form this is for you.OcMarkoh
Great app for tracking your tank
I like everything about this app. I especially like how it has a database of life forms and if what you added to your tank isn’t in its database then you can just manually put in the plant/animal. I also like how you can track your tank parameters and view the results over time. The only thing I don’t like is that you have to pay a yearly subscription fee($10) but I personally feel that this app is so well designed that it’s worth the $10 per year.Show lessHP_86_jigsaw82
Great base, but needs an update
I started using this app recently and was surprised at how well it works given it hasn’t been updated in about 2 years. Like other users I wish that the app had an easier way to set up routines and add devices/supplements for the tanks.
The inclusion of the Aquariym database is a great touch; I like being able to track the lifespan and events in the life of my fish. Going from the database search into a profile page is a great UI choice. I wish the rest of the app worked like this.
Are there any plans by the developer to update the app for bug fixes and compatibility with future iOS versions?Show lessejduffman
Outstanding and could be even better
This app is just what I was looking for to manage my marine aquarium. It is full of nice feature but sometimes hard to navigate between two tanks. It’s great as is and has the potential to be even better. Perhaps a focus group to get suggestions for an update in 6 months would be in order.Bigtree 1977
So far 5 stars...
I’ve only been using it for a very short time so not really much I can review. So far I haven’t found anything to make it hard to use. I like that it keeps up with my water parameters for me so I can see that they stay within a avery steady range, so far anyway. That is the main reason I use the app. The rest are just extras that I have enjoyed. Will update my review after using app for a longer period of time.Show lessSniffanyB
Pay for app makes you pay more...
App is setup ok. Some designs could be much smoother and easy to navigate.
That being said....entering livestock, equipment and supplements etc is tedious or you have to pay monthly. For a $10 app I should be able to access the full database in the app.
Folks who need cloud saving or want extra features should be paying monthly. I think this app would help a lot of beginners if they could add all their items. This way it could even suggest other items or livestock. It could even notify of compatibility issues.
If you have a large fish room I would say subscribe monthly. If you have a tank or a few there are less expensive tracking apps that will do what this does.
Nice if added - suggest ranges for tank inhabitants, a new tank cycling guide and tracker, compatibility suggestions for livestock, equipment and supplements, compatibility warnings, lighting setting...my fluval nano could use some live so I can track what is working.
Guides, videos, podcasts....hey charge for those.Show lessPregnant falsely
Overall best tank manager
If your into manually typing in your parameters, this is a cool thing to keep track of your tanks. Just needs to be updated more often, seems like the developers gave up on the app a while ago, but it has so much potential. Add some of the features I sent in to your feedback department and I’ll make it a 5 star reviewShow less.Jolin.
Useful for tests
I still like this app and pay for the syncing subscription, but it’s mostly just a water parameter logbook with simple graphs. Maybe some people record feedings and dosings, I don’t see the point. What bugs me is that they never bothered answering the many requests for an expanded database that included more common organisms, never mind less common ones. That plus calculators that use that information is something lacking in the hobby as other apps have been abandoned. Aquarimate seems abandoned too, with only updates for new screen sizes and minor bugs in more than a year. A subscription model is supposed to justify ongoing development.Show lessM. Daguerre
