But the camera identifier doesn’t work after taking several pictures of my zebra danios most of the time it would not even say they were fish and one of the times it said that they were dwarf gouramis. That being said this is a very useful app that will help me better take care of future fish and aquariums ### 2/5 — Limited catalog *2025-12-19, version 25.8* Very limited fish catalog. Small selection of Synodontis, plecos, and cichlids. Unable to enter fish not in the catalog. Most of the fish entries do not have thumbnail photos. Most of the fish I have are not in it- Poor identification of fish from photos- ### 4/5 — Good app *2025-12-16, version 25.8* Very good app for finding compatible fish and making sure you don’t over crowd the tank but it would be nice to add coral as well ### 4/5 — Seems ok *2025-11-21, version 25.8* Looks like this app may help ### 4/5 — Nice app but needs more *2025-11-03, version 25.8* This is a nice app to have. Only thing I would like is a way to log test results as well as having additional aquatic species such as anemone and shrimp. ### 3/5 — Add fish button *2025-10-22, version 25.6* Only started the app and can’t add more fish and the add more fish tab only works on landscape ### 3/5 — I can’t figure out how to use it *2025-10-20, version 25.6* there’s no buttons to add fish to my tank… i am confused ?? ### 2/5 — Like the app features but can’t use or utilize parts of the app *2025-10-20, version 25.6* Information is great but the add fish function is behind the panel that you select fish, plants, etc from and so can’t create your aquarium. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t warn when stocking incompatible fish *2026-08-06, version 26.3* I ### 1/5 — Not free *2026-07-04, version 26.3* Not free ### 1/5 — Useless *2026-05-05, version 26.2* Right nice app why pay money when you can get it free somewhere else. Its not like they dont remind you every second that you need premium for most things ### 1/5 — forced purchase attempts *2025-05-12, version 25.3* It always tries to purchase the premium plan without you clicking on any purchase button, luckily my phone asks for authorization first because otherwise it would have already charged me £19.90 pounds without my authorization... be careful ### 1/5 — Very limited *2025-05-10, version 25.3* To unlock most of app you must pay 19.95 🥴 ### 1/5 — Common fish hidden behind paywall *2025-04-21, version 25.3* Before I even got a chance to see if this app was for me, I was hit with a paywall. While trying to add Pygmy Cory's to an aquarium for tracking it instantly asked for $25 with no way to go back without force closing the app. I don't have a problem with some content being behind a paywall, but it is unusable without spending money. Some fish are free to view, but you can't even click on pay locked fish without it asking to confirm payment. Very disappointed, it looked cool. Instant delete. ### 1/5 — Don’t understand *2025-04-20, version 25.3* What do I do? ### 1/5 — don’t download unless you want to pay for the app *2025-04-17, version 25.3* Most of the features cost money, and once you click on a part that wants you to pay for pro, it continues to pop up repeatedly. I had to close the app and delete it to get it to stop. ### 1/5 — No shrimp or snails for pro version? *2025-04-03, version 25.3* Honestly need a refund, not giving the ability to add shrimp or snails after purchasing the pro version is such a waste of money. ### 1/5 — Cost money :( *2025-02-15, version 1.7.1* 1 star ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I’m gay *2026-07-18, version 26.3* Buy it ### 5/5 — good *2026-07-09, version 26.3* just should have more pleco for free but good ### 5/5 — Review *2026-06-11, version 26.2* Good app. Easy to use ### 5/5 — Very good *2026-04-19, version 26.1* Recomend ### 5/5 — Works well *2026-03-29, version 26.1* It helped me care and understand my fish and plants better ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-03-17, version 26.1* Just got two aquariums app helps out lots ### 5/5 — Good app *2026-03-10, version 26.1* Love it ### 5/5 — Hi *2026-01-20, version 25.8* Good app ### 5/5 — Good app *2025-12-10, version 25.8* Good app ### 5/5 — So Helpful *2025-11-22, version 25.8* Really educational. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
