### 2/5 — Can't transfer data from lite to pro?

*2016-04-30, version 3.0.6*

The was app was helpful at first,  BUT then I purchased the pro version and discovered that I cannot transfer ANY of my data from the lite version to the pro version....so I have to re-enter everything. This is regardless of the fact that they have an "export" button. MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT!!! Please address this issue ASAP.

### 1/5 — Dev Doesn't Respond; Needs Updated

*2015-09-29, version 3.0.6*

Dropped my rating. Alerts and notifications don't work, however this app is easy to use and has ton of potential. Dev needs to respond.

### 2/5 — It's ok

*2015-04-30, version 3.0.6*

I only gave it two stars because the notifications does not work it has never notified of anything I've set a notification for. 
I'll raise the stars when this is fixed as other wise this app is useless for me and I'll be asking for my money back soon if it's not fixed.

### 2/5 — Alerts don't work

*2015-01-13, version 3.0.6*

Are you going to fix the alerts?Great UI and functionality, but kind of moot if the alerts don't work.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2014-08-22, version 3.0.6*

I have been using this app for over 1 year. Always reminds me of tasks! Great for everything from inhabitants to equipment. Great updates and customer service too.

### 5/5 — Keeps me organized

*2014-07-23, version 3.0.6*

Using this app to help me care for my turtle. I'm using 2 filters and staggering the work. Never missing and no mistakes !!

### 4/5 — Nice

*2014-04-01, version 2.3.9*

Works well, record keeping and alarm reminders.  I like the inventory lists. 

I would really like to see a week to week photo log for my pant growth.  Then it would be prefect!!!

### 5/5 — Geat little app

*2014-02-10, version 2.3.9*

Lots of record keeping features. I look forward to expanding to the pro version. This will be very helpful in the near future.

### 3/5 — Testing for use in an aquaponics system

*2013-11-24, version 2.3.9*

Good basic chemistry testing with alerts and ability to customize. The database consists of inhabitants geared toward hobbyists. You can customize inhabitants but you are unable to use compatibility info. Over all a good basic way to store water quality results.

### 1/5 — Good apps, poor planning

*2013-06-28, version 2.3.1*

I first like this app a lot. I have 30 gallon cube in my office, small enough to use the lite version.
Then I get 250 gal reef tank at home, and the lite version could not record 2 tanks and 10+ fish/coral. So I get the pro version.

Here is the problem, that makes me angry.! Where is the transfer data function from lite to pro? You don't freking expect customer to re-enter all the data in the lite version into the pro, do you?

What's the incentive to pay more if we stuck with 2 apps. STUPID!! More work to do data entry instead of enjoying fish? 

I going to ask iTunes to return my money.!!!
