I see the attachment options, but only after I submit a response when my keyboard disappears. I can respond, but can’t upload anything else. ### 4/5 — Awesome!! *2018-02-04* Aquarium Advice forums is the best! I first got it this summer when I got into the hobby and I have learned a lot from the many people here. ### 4/5 — Great app, even better community *2017-02-19* The app itself is pretty good, I am fairly new to this app I will say upfront however I have been using the computer version for a while now. I don't quite understand some functions such as your "permissions". For example I am a registered member and when other members post things it does not allow me to reply to them as I "do not have permission". How you get permission is beyond me and at the moment I can only reply to my own posts. For this and a few other reasons I couldn't give the app 5 stars HOWEVER, the community on this app is no doubt deserving of 5 stars, extremely helpful and happy people and for that reason alone I suggest this app to anybody in the aquarium hobby. ### 2/5 — I can't reply to outhers *2016-12-18* Can't reply or post says I don't have permission to 😫 ### 5/5 — Amazing fishy forum!!! *2015-06-04, version 3.8* I've been on this forum for a while now and it's great! I would highly recommend it to anyone who is considering a fish tank, or already has several! Not sure why there are so many negative reviews! It is definitely worth it! Plus it's free! ### 5/5 — Best forum *2015-05-30, version 3.8* I've been a member here a while now and they seriously taught me almost everything I know now. It's a great forum. People can be a little pushy but sometimes we have those that are ignorant and don't listen to sound advice. ### 4/5 — Very good app *2015-02-13* A lot of people with good knowledge of fish keeping. ### 3/5 — Be careful! *2014-12-08, version 3.8* I like to read and learn from other aquarists and occasionally write a post or try to answer a question if I can. There are some very combative users that like to interject at times which makes the site unpleasant at times. I got a slap on the hand from an administrator for "hijacking" a post when it was not myself who changed the subject! ### 4/5 — Can't get permission to post *2014-12-06, version 3.8* It won't give me permission to post???? ### 3/5 — Kinda upset *2014-07-04, version 3.8* It won't let me sign up and/or post stuff wish I could and this would be awesome app. Just keeps saying something bout spamming ### 5/5 — Thanks *2014-05-21, version 3.1.1* I think this app may have saved my fish. ### 3/5 — Crashing *2014-02-28, version 3.1.1* I've been using this app for a couple months with out any issues. Now it is nonstop crashing. Please fix soon!! ### 4/5 — Good application. Fantastic Forum *2014-02-03* This is a fantastic forum. The members are a great source for ideas and suggestions, and there are plenty of regular contributors keeping this forum active. The application itself is good. It could be better. You cannot update your profile within the app, which sounds pretty picky, but you'd be surprised how often a little adjustment if you switch out your equipment or aquatic life. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time *2019-07-16* I loaded the app. I wanted to reply to a post. I got a error message saying you don’t have permission to reply. This is after I registered. ### 1/5 — Awful *2017-06-22* This was very unhelpful. I was having troubles with my fish tank and didn't know what to do . I found this app and thought my problems would be gone, nope. First this app is confusing as hell I don't even know where to post my question because of the layout. It told me I had to be a higher level owner to post questions. Secondly, it made my phone glitchy, you would click this app and it would freeze your phone. Then you turn your phone off and your home screen is all screwed up as in you can't get back on the phone until you turn it off again. If you want "aquarium advice" Don't ever come to this app. 👎 ### 1/5 — App *2017-03-03, version 5.3.9* Rubbish app won't let you post anything ### 1/5 — No good *2015-03-19, version 3.8* Worthless. Save your time. ### 1/5 — Booooooo *2014-06-15* Was a app I use to use daily as I'm a massive fish keeper(6 tanks), had very helpful people on there till the last update and it has filled up with 12 yrolds that are mega rude to there elders, ended up deleting it i was very disappointed... I'm sticking to Instagram ### 1/5 — Used to be good...now it crashes ! *2014-03-01, version 3.1.1* Keeps crashing. I've liked the app on the past. Now it frustrates me !! ### 1/5 — Confusing *2014-02-10, version 3.1.1* I found this hard to navigate. I love fish and I thought it would be good,but I thought it was hard to navigate. ### 1/5 — App *2014-01-06, version 3.1.1* App is good friendly people only thing there to picky can't even ask questions with out getting warnings ### 1/5 — Newest Update *2014-01-04* I used to love this app. Any Information I wanted was a quick search away. It was so simple to use. The latest update is horrible in my opinion, every search I do comes up with 0 results, not nearly as user friendly as before. Very disappointed, I used to use this app daily, since the update I can't be bothered. The only up side is being able to see the rating of the person giving you advise. Add that and being able to update your profile to the old version of this app and you would have a winner. ### 1/5 — No good *2013-09-24* Bad site to get advice and horrible hosts ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great *2017-08-20* Very helpful.
