### 3/5 — It’s okay

*2025-01-08, version 4.2.2*

Okay needs some adjustments to ranges, should be configurable

### 5/5 — The best!

*2024-11-22, version 4.2.2*

This the best app for aquarium maintenance. I’ve tried them all.

### 1/5 — No update

*2023-08-11*

Some of the things are still not working on the app, I have pay money for something that has not been updated still last year, good app if you had all the things working

### 5/5 — A few suggestions

*2023-02-24*

I think the developers of this app should add a water flow calculator and a function towards where you can see if you overstocked, I would just like to see if the developers can make these features

### 1/5 — No updates since IOS 11

*2022-03-09, version 4.2.2*

DO NOT BUY, I think the owner is AWOL, It’s 09/03/2022 ( 03/09/2022 in American) the app still shows that the “water test ranges” features have been rushed to allow the iOS 11 update and it’s temporary unavailable, we are now on iOS 15 or so….. PLEASE FIX IT

### 1/5 — Glitchy

*2021-10-11*

Used to be wonderful and I paid for pro but I came back to it after a while and now find that it crashes regularly and occasionally the colors go wonky,  a problem with their night mode pallette maybe.  

Kind of a mess these days.  I hope they figure out the glitches.  I’ve reinstalled a few times to try to fix the random crashes all the time but it doesn’t seem to help.

### 1/5 — Lates update 9/21/21, now can’t see old notes

*2021-09-29, version 4.2.1*

I should’ve disabled updates. After the latest update a week ago, now I can’t see my old notes. This app hasn’t been updated for a couple years. Now with the recent update it won’t prolly be updated for another couple more years. They didn’t even fix the contestant crashes. Should’ve never bought because of the lack of support. Please look elsewhere for a better app.

### 5/5 — Love this planner

*2021-04-22*

It’s very informative of what to do and how to do it and there isn’t a feature I see that it doesn’t already have.

### 3/5 — Very nice app but....

*2021-03-15*

It needs a better selection to choose from from inhabitants list. I didnt find any turtles, or crawfish. Nor fancy freshwater shrimp, etc. I couldn’t find my small clown pleco, there’s alot missing from database of common store bought Life u put into aquatic aquariums. And common equipment manufacturers are not listed. And needs live plants section too. Fix that id give it more than 5 if i could!

### 5/5 — Pretty good, missing many plants

*2021-01-20, version 4.1.2*

because this app is missing many plants from its database it would be nice if we could add our own.
