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! ### 2/5 — No updates in years *2020-12-29* Works great I love it if they would update the flaws that have been waiting for and when you are using the lite version and upgrade you have to manually input all your information in again it won’t transfer. And to look up fish and corrals some aren’t found in wiki which is frustrating. ### 4/5 — Great app *2020-09-03* I wish the developer would make a update for the alert the interval user needs to be able to select weekly. plant fertilizer dosing schedule we add fertilizers 6 days of the week on 7th day no fertilizers because we do a water change. ### 3/5 — Needs updates but it works *2020-04-25, version 4.1.2* Needs to be updated with more fish species and plant species!!! ### 4/5 — Aqua planner *2020-03-30, version 4.1.2* The app seems to be good except I have several fish in my aquarium that I cannot add. I have glofish tetras and glofish sharks that I cannot add. ### 2/5 — Limited. Developer lost interest *2020-01-02* This could be a great app if the developer just allowed some flexibility to add your own parameters to monitor and chart. They have clearly lost interest in further development and most of what is advertised doesn’t work. Water parameters are fixed, no flexibility and you cannot chart a lot of basic measurements. Let alone see them on a chart. ### 3/5 — Not bad but could be better *2019-06-27, version 4.1.2* The app does some weird things that need to get fixed by the developer 1. App keeps adding on its own a fish I do not have 2. I can take photos but they disappear when I close the app 3. App randomly crashes and closes I do like all the water test / conditions I can save I wish that it would be able to reconnect to Wikipedia after I add a fish. Lots of info there that is useful. ### 4/5 — Great app for my reef tank *2019-03-12* Great little app to help me remember everything. The test ranges are a bit off and I can’t change the ranges on the new version. Hopefully this gets updated soon. ### 5/5 — Love this app *2019-01-25, version 4.1.2* Everything you need to monitor expenses, livestock, equipment, parameters water changes, schedule cleaning equipment what so ever you want. ### 3/5 — Agenda para aquário *2018-12-07* Bom App para se usar como agenda de aquário, marcando manutenção, dia para se usar suplementos etc. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 ### 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. ### 1/5 — None of my info saved *2020-08-15, version 4.1.2* So much for using iCloud to save my profile. All my tanks are gone ### 1/5 — There is no app that works for me. *2020-08-07, version 4.1.2* All of the aquarium apps have issues. If you really want so save your log, just write it down on paper. Ive used 4 different apps and lost data on every one of them. ### 1/5 — Had potential *2020-01-09, version 4.1.2* Overpriced dead app. No updates in over 2 years. Common fish missing from app. Old wiki links that lead nowhere. Save your money use free reminders app and notes. ### 1/5 — Features Missing *2019-11-10* Used to rely on this app to store information but it seems the developer isn’t interested in it anymore. Try to use certain features and it says getting ready for iOS 11 but we are on iOS 13 now. L A very good app gone bad ### 1/5 — Terrible *2019-02-10* Adding and managing alerts does not work. Wasted my money with this. ### 1/5 — Não abre *2018-12-04* Continua fechando ao iniciar o app ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The best! *2024-11-22, version 4.2.2* This the best app for aquarium maintenance. I’ve tried them all. ### 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 ### 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. ### 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. ### 5/5 — Best Aquarium App *2020-11-28* This is the best app I have found to keep all my data and test on my tanks! I would be lost without it! Love it! It enables me to keep track of maintenance and variables of each tank. Very well thought out! I would have to manually keep my stats if I didn’t have this app! ### 5/5 — Good Fish Tracking Tool *2020-07-04* It has everything I want for tracking my fish keeping. It’s easy to use and very thorough. Love it. ### 5/5 — Excelente *2020-06-13* Aplicativo muito bom. Uso a bastante tempo e mantenho meu aquário marinho e doce usando ele como agenda e gerenciador. ### 5/5 — Great *2020-02-27, version 4.1.2* Great app. ### 5/5 — Very helpful *2020-02-16, version 4.1.2* This app is great to keep track of your fish tank. Works well. I’ve been using it for around 3 years and it’s been a great help. ### 5/5 — Great app! Everything you need in one location *2019-12-22* It has been years since I have had an aquarium and I am pleased to have found this app. You can list all your equipment which will be helpful when ordering replacement parts. I also listed all the fish, so now I am not guessing on what i bought and their correct names and how long I have had them. And you can schedule when you want to do water changes, cleaning filters and so on and you can log in all the water test. Really a nice app. It seems pretty easy to use, just slow down and use the add symbol on the upper right hand correct. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
