Small fish list

Dowloaded app started to input my fish. I only have 2 fish in my tank so far and only one was in the darabase so app useless for me.

10/10 fish keeper app

The $30 lifetime charge is worth it, it helps me track everything and reminds me when I need to do water changes and parameter checks. It’s practically 100% customizable for your needs!

Family Sharing

Great app but subscription does not work with family sharing.

Not yet impressed

I’m a little sad that there is no option to track the initial tank cycle and that there isn’t a way (or at least not an obvious one) to keep track of plant species and health. The plants are possibly more important to the tank in some situations! I hope I like this app better once I have critters in the tank, but so far I’m not very impressed. I will update after I get to use this thing more.

Hey John, we do have a large database of plant species (if you click the fish icon when viewing your tank, you can change it to plants/parameters/notes etc); If the features dont cover what you need however, please do use the contact us button in the settings so we can help build anything that our app doesnt cover the needs of! Thanks for your review - fishi team

Paywall

Typical ask to track your data and make you pay for it

Thanks for the review. The app offers optional paid features to support continued development, but the core aquarium tracking tools remain free.

Waste of time

Doesn’t have all fish species. Could only put half my tank in the fish list. Once added half of my fish, I was hit with a paywall. Don’t waste your time, rushed app with no real use

Thanks for the feedback. The app currently includes a database of 1,000+ fish species and has been actively updated for several years based on user feedback and feature requests. Some features are part of an optional premium tier, which helps support the ongoing development and maintenance of the app. I’m always working to expand the species database, so if there’s a fish missing from your tank feel free to reach out and I can look at adding it in a future update.

Review

It’s a cool app. I would love an option where you could add a photo of the Individual fish

Good apppage

Great app and very useful however could do with some minor adjustments. When adding equipment onto my fish tank if I swipe off the app and back on it removes all data that I’ve put in… very frustrating when trying to find out what wattages my items use etc.

Thank you very much for the kind review - we're looking into this and will hopefully deploy a fix soon!

Fishkeeper's Dream

I never write reviews but this app has blown me away. It has a lot to expand on but just in the few months I have used Fishi there have been multiple updates to address things or add things I wished were there before. The dev clearly cares about this app and it shows. I'll be using this for as long as I can. 💜

Paywall

Pretty much everything useful for a aquarium manager app is behind a paywall

Confused

Seems like a nice app, but I can’t figure it out. Maybe I thought it could do things that it isn’t capable of.

App is decent, but lacks multiuser capabilities.

App is decent, compared to others, I felt the library of fish was better than others. Only thing it lacks for me is multiuser support. My wife and I want to be able to manage our tanks together. If that is an option I couldn’t find it, and support didn’t answer me so canceled before the trial ended. Other than that it’s a good app, if you don’t need multiuser give it a shot!

Hey Onatscram, thanks for the feedback! Happy to hear you like our species library. For multi user support, totally get it, multiuser support isnt our strong point (it's a WIP). Regarding the support email, just guessing based on the dates of the review, if your intials are MS we did respond on the day explaining the feature (and we turned on an experimental feature for you+your wife to try!) so we think it might've gone into your junk mail. Thanks a lot for the review! - fishi team

Annoyed

Every day there’s an update or the same update for this app. Not sure why. Annoyed

Kinda hard to write a review 5 minutes in to opening the app.

Paying to add fish is crazy

You have to pay for premium to add specific fish. If you’ve been in the hobby long enough you know how to keep your tanks and this app could potentially help you if you want to pay for it. Absolutely silly to make people pay to add fish to a tank. Adding multiple tanks? I get it cause we are in an age of pay for EVERYTHING, but seriously your app isn’t worth what you’re asking.

Response from developer

Hi Brandon, We totally understand where you’re coming from — paying to add fish can feel frustrating, especially for experienced aquarists who just want to log their setups quickly. That said, just under 10% of our species are part of the paid tier, meaning over 90% are completely free to use. Those premium species help us cover the real costs behind the app — from research and species data to photography, hosting, and ongoing development. We’ve tried hard to keep the core experience free while still supporting the work that keeps the app growing and improving. Your feedback is appreciated, and we’re actively reviewing how we balance free and premium features to make sure things stay fair and useful for everyone in the hobby. Thanks again for taking the time to share your thoughts and for giving the app a try.

Awful

Save your time and money. Next to worthless. Pen and paper is a thousand times better than this app. So much potential, so little performance. Worst app I ever paid $.
An insult to iPhone apps.
