What's New in Aquarium Camera

4.0.4

April 22, 2026

4.0.0 is a complete re-architecture built to maximize the performance of your iPhone and iPad. Capture full-resolution photos and 4K video, choose from 32 lens filters, and save or share your presets. Built-in tips and instructions help you get the most out of every shot. A dedicated gallery keeps your aquarium photos and videos organized, while volume shutter support and haptic feedback make shooting even better. 4.0.1 restores pinch-to-zoom and focus controls, enhanced gallery view, and gallery photos and videos now sync with iCloud when enabled on your device. 4.0.2 restores Color Balance controls, including RGB (Classic) settings and improved White Balance options for more precise manual tuning. Camera zoom stability fixes help prevent unexpected jumps after using the zoom button. This update also adds an Autosave to Library toggle for new photos and videos, plus clearer camera permission handling and recovery. Thanks to all the users for their amazing testing and feedback! I love you. 4.0.3 & 4.0.4 restores several features users missed from version 3, while preserving the full-resolution photo and 4K video capabilities introduced in version 4. It also includes a UI overhaul to improve usability and make the app easier to navigate. Color balance controls now go further for heavily blue-shifted tanks, and Color Filter mode now includes a full-screen option. Thank you so much for downloading and all the great feedback!

New update is horrible.

This newest update basically broke the app and made it useless. So sad because this app was amazing before and nearly eliminated the use for coral lens. But the new update made the app basically garbage. The UI is horrible, and the color correction itself doesn’t seem correct. And doing the manual adjustments yourself to get it *just right* like with the previous version is now impossible. This is the definition of fixing something that isn’t broken. Very regrettable as the app used to be a very useful tool for me. It was great for 8 years.. why change it.

EDIT: He updated it to try and fix it, but it’s still terrible. Don’t download unless they revert to older version. Why’d they break it or want to change it, I still don’t know.

See what you think of version 4.0.3. I brought back the pieces that were good about version 3 and kept the full res and 4k video to boot.

Thanks for fixing the update

Thanks for fixing the issues with the update. The app is back to simple and quick to use. Highly recommend

Photos can now be saved directly to your photos library. It’s optional in case you want to leverage the gallery with iCloud. When you mean changing filters is it that the ring is too small? I’m thinking of adding a toggle that moves the controls to full screen.

hi

The new version has additional features, but personally, I find the old version simpler and more user-friendly. If the old version is still available, I would like to download it instead

The ui in version 4.0.3 has been streamlined and simplified for usability taking all the best pieces from version 3 and keeping the full res and 4k video capabilities. Thanks for downloading and your feedback!

Update Renders App Useless

I work in the aquarium industry and take photos of corals all day long. I used the old version of the app for 2 years and it worked great; much easier than using a physical lens and I could quickly go from tank to tank with different lighting and have no issues.

I have been trying to use the new update to no avail. The auto feature simply does not work on a majority of the corals I am trying to shoot (the previous version’s auto adjustment feature worked fine). Photos are too dark and the camera will not adjust to the coral. I used to be able to fine tune the color settings, but the RGB and tint sliders on the new version don’t fix the issues. No matter what setting I am trying, photos are dark and under exposed.

Give version 4.0.3 as I think I’ve resolved all the issues you’ve raised but can’t be for certain until you give it a whirl. Also, if you’re happy to join our beta team as you’ll get access to all the latest versions and have a chance to have a back and forth. Thanks again for downloading and the feedback.
