Used to be great… Until the awful redesign

Use to be a great app until the awkward redesign, with parameters on cards that have to be jerkily scrolled through to access, rather than them all being on one screen. PLEASE bring out a classic view option soon, as I am now stuck with a couple of years worth of data on a clunky & awkward app.

Response from developer

Thank you for that feedback. Will have to a classic option for the parameters section in a few weeks. Please consider emailing us in the future at: support@jcrsoftware.com, rather than using the ratings to let us know if you dislike something. Give us a chance to fix your issue. *Update* Current version does have a classic view. You also have a new option to change the parameters from the cards to a list view with the icon on the right corner.

Prefer old UI

The new UI doesn’t feel as intuitive as the previous versions I’m use to.

Response from developer

Please email us at support@jcrsoftware.com if you have any suggestions to make it feel more intuitive. Many of the elements of the old UI were part of old code so many things have advanced since then. We can try to bring some of the way the app worked if it is possible. *Update* Current version does have a classic view. You also have a new option to change the parameters from the cards to a list view with the icon on the right corner.

Can’t seem to sync with other devices

This app definitely has potential. I started it on my iPad, but I can not get any information to transfer to my iPhone for the life of me. When I try to share it, it doesn’t really do anything but open it on my iPhone. Other than that, it is a pretty good app. Holds a lot of info.

Syncing now fixed

Love it. Can love it more

Great app. Couple of things I would love to see.

Adjust tank water volume, as it calculates volume when you add a tank but can’t change the volume to account for sump, sand and rocks

Snapshots aren’t saving

Ability to chose preferred range for parameters, especially Alk. I run at 11 dkh and it is off the graph.

In Alk, auto convert entries. So if I test at ppm I don’t have to open the calculator to convert to dkh

Stock solution dosing calculator. Ie using Redsea B stock solution instead of the powder calculation(or 1/3 b liquid)

There are several fixes that should take care your issues. Please email our support. Also for the new features we are working on a new version that we hope you will be excited about.

There is no cloud save

There is no cloud save like it says that is the reason of me buying this app but what i add on my iPhone i can’t see it on my iPad when i open the app on it. Disappointed

Responsive developer and great app

I use this app to log all my tanks nitrogen cycle progress and keep track of other parameters. It’s great. Also there was a minor bug in the app and I dealt with the developer directly and they had it fixed within a week. They were communicative and persistent in solving the issue. Well worth the money to have a convienient app like this at my finger tips to track my water parameters and other things. Highly recommended app to enhance the hobby.

Very good app you can keep up on your parameters look back on the parameters the only thing that may be confusing when you calculate for supplement it doesn’t tell you if it’s weekly or daily

Feedback

Why no Seachem 2 Parts? Just added the app and am trying to set it up for my reef

Response from developer

Supplement added as of version 2.9.1. Next time please give us the supplement you want added at support@jcrsoftware.com and we will add it.

Crashing

Accidentally added two tanks in setup. When I go to delete one, it crashes the app each time.
