Measurements

Is there a way to switch from liters to gallons?

Does not live up to hype

I was expecting so much more, compatibility of specific species of fish and inverts, recommended tank sizes, dosing recommendations. This is simply a tracking tool with limited encyclopedia of livestock. A paid app should offer more than, “Not much is known…”

Waste of money

Doesn’t save any of my testing days. I am currently cycling and can’t compare my days. 😡

Pointless

I purchase this app thinking it would be a nicer UI vs AquaticLog which I’ve been using since I set my tank up. So I had my iPad out trying to enter the info from AquaticLog to Pocket Marine. Phone died so I went to use my iPad thinking it would just sync like AquaticLog and well let’s be honest almost ALL Apple apps thus the reason it has such an amazing following. So needless to say when I went into the app on my iPad there was nothing there. None of the info I had spent the last hour or so entering was in the Pocket Marine iPad app. So what exactly is the point of having it on both?

Fantastic app

Great app, best that I’ve found. Easy to use and fantastic data base. Would benefit from more specific reef tank species being added, and more specific data, but still worth the money.

Not bad

It doesn’t appear as though you can change to imperial units? I can’t find a way to contact a developer. This would be a massive help to us goofs in the US lol.

Edit: I’m an idiot. Thanks for the help!!

App limitations

So far so good, nicely designed , feels a good quality interface. The one issue I’ve found is although you can spec a very large tank in terms of dimensions, you can’t in volume, it maxes out at 500lt even though the dimensions allow for much larger volume. Would be a nice addition if the app used your dimensions to calculate your volume (in liters or gallons) with the option to override , as sumps are never full to the very brim.

Keep up the good work.

Decent

I genuinely like this app and the information that is provided within. However, there are an absurd amount of spelling mistakes. To me, that is just a little unprofessional and tacky, and sometimes I question the validity of the information given, due to the spelling mistakes. But overall, is a good app, I’ll continue to use it.

Water Parameters seem off

The app looks good, but see some issues and not quite sure how to address.

1. If you enter a temp reading of 78.2°F, the indicator is Red, you you enter 25.6°C, the indicator is Green. Using any value of F does not change the indicator to Green. Using the the converted value of C to F does not work.

2. What values are used to indicate Red vs Green? This is not published anywhere on the app.

3. If ammonia levels of .25ppm is considered safe, why is my level of .04 showing up with a Red indicator?

Fantastic App

This is one of the best apps I have ever used and I used a lot. Congrats to the development team. I’ve just updated the app and not seen the changes yet as I’m were g this as I update it. I hope it includes being able to move inhabitants up and down the list as this is the only thing it hasn’t beeen able to do. Apart from that, truly brilliant app.

App crashes when trying to set up an aquarium

I’m new to this app. I’m looking for something to help guide my water testing and maintain a record of results. App seems to be a good tool for this, and appears to have many useful features. Unfortunately, it crashes when I attempt to set up a new aquarium. As long as you track testing for only one aquarium, the crash does not affect the apps usefulness.

Aquarium menu force clos

Aquarium menu make apps force close on latest ios, try to resintall and now all my test and all my tank information has gone, its possible to restore?

Crashes

Installed then tried to setup an aquarium. After saving aquarium info tried to click on aquariums to view and app crashes and closes. Tried uninstalling app and reinstalled but same thing. Useless app I paid for.

Unable to safe a aquarium

I’m allowed to input all information for new aquarium but when I go to safe it app shuts down and no aquarium saved. So unable to add livestock or test results.

Great App but..

The app is amazing and full of great things but it’s missing the most important thing which to export data or at least being able to create an account to store all the data of tests, that way if you get a new phone you can import all your data, for now if you get a new phone you loose all your data which makes it useless.

I really hope that this could be fixed ASAP!

Review

Loves this app!!! Please keep it updated!!

Help..

Can't open aquariums feature after iOS update... please fix it

Great Tool

Wish there was a way to share data between devices. Other than that it is a great tool to keep track of measurements and tasks.

Suggestion

-Add grid view feature
-Add more species
-Water quality warn and advice

This is the best!!!

Best app for your marine tank!!! It has everything you need store all your tank information in one place!! No need for a book to write it all down, this app has it all!
