Absolutely Worth It

I started using this app out of curiosity and it slowly became my go-to for literally everything. I track my daily and monthly tasks, most of my devices report directly to the app so it can gather insight and help understand things better. Not to mention, the developers are way on top of their game with updates. Sometimes 3-4 times a week to help fix things, tweak things, and improve certain areas. The ai model is surprisingly helpful with helping log things, remember things, or just general questions. It’s practically Chat but for Reefing. Really polished app.

Getting Better

Ok, they get 5 stars now due to customer service. This is my 3rd update to my app review. I started at 1 or 2 stars. I had a minor issue with my home screen on a Sunday night after adding cameras to the app. I sent a bug report and in LESS THAN 30 MINUTES, they had responded to my report that they had fixed the issue on a SUNDAY NIGHT. All working great now. They have never not answered a question or issue. Constant updates and features for the app and they listen to their users. Really enjoying the app!

Great app. Much better than the other apps

Been using the app since September for my new setup display tank. It gives you an estimate timeline for the cycling and what you expect from the first year. Have a lot of features from equipment, controllers, 3d image of your tank for flow and lighting. Great app

Reefing with AI

Unlike just using generic AI sources for asking reefing questions or analyzing rank parameters, Reefability has trained and curated its AI sources specifically for reefing to decrease error and provide better responses. Plus the app itself stands out from others with its useful and unique features. All this plus it’s continual improvement by the developers make this a great app for beginner and experienced reefers imo.

StillWaters Reefer (321)

I have used 3 apps extensively in the last 10 years and been a hobbyist for over 20 yrs. I’ve learned and seen a few things here and there. I consistently look for new advances, specifically in tank management. IMO, Reefability is is the best thing to hit our hobby since… Water.

Horrendous UI; basically AI slop

Terrible app. Error loading screens; cluttered UI. Slow AI responses, I said my tank was cycling and then it complained about my ammonia? Also the “roadmap” suggested I add fish to my new tank even though it’s still cycling. Just awful vibe-coded slop. All ads and videos are AI-generated too. Just feel like cold, stale product from the AI era. Not worth it

Disappointed

Really wanted to like this app but can not recommend. Found the user interface difficult to navigate, not intuitive at all. Entering ICP data is easy, but entering previous tank parameters is cumbersome. No good method to do bulk inputs. Also asked AI multiple reef questions and answers were no better and sometimes worse than google AI answers. Tried uploading pic for ID and keep getting server errors

Recommend improvements

So overall it’s better than most aquarium apps. The thing I didn’t like is that if you have a peninsula tank, that it will not do the grid for flow and lighting. I guess it needs the back wall to anchor from. Even if you give it the top down it will still not do it.

Getting Better

Reefability is putting out constant updates and the platform is improving almost weekly. They take feedback very seriously and have implemented two of my suggestions on the same day I made the suggestion. Currently my favorite reef tracking platform.

Substantial improvements

Making some major improvements. Continues to be responsive to bug reports

Incredible App

This app has all the answers. Very helpful to me since I’ve been in the hobby for a bit over a year.

Constant Errors - UPDATE

An update seems to have fixed most of my issues. I received a helpful reply from Reefability customer support in less than a day of my initial communication. They seem to want to make things better.

Broken

App prompts that I must update to use it but is up to date per the App Store. Tried uninstall/reinstall but issue persists

Waste of money for iPhone users.

Honestly. This app is becoming more of a headache.

Don’t waste your money

What a waste of money. Reviews in you tube sing this apps praises but pointless. The addition of equipment does not contain anywhere near a full list, inc Red Sea gear. You can find what the AI does by quick searches and there are plenty of free nutrient recording apps. Please don’t make the same mistake I did and pay for this!

Not user friendly

Too much going on. Hard to track parameters. Ai is terribly slow and honestly… not very helpful. Definitely need to work out some kinks

Not Ready

Despite several ICP test results uploaded and weeks worth of testing data, all my pumps, lighting data, the AI still can’t give me insights on my tank.

Remind me again why I’m paying for this?

Paying a premium for a buggy app. To log in I need to log in close the app and reopen. To input any parameter nothing happens doesn’t save to register. Useless

Best reef keeping app ever

I’m genuinely amazed by Reefability, especially the Reefer AI. Being able to review my ICP test history and get clear, actionable insights has completely changed how I manage my tank. I can even ask specific questions based on long-term trends, which makes the recommendations feel personalized and trustworthy.

Since using the chemistry forecast, I’ve been able to prevent several issues before they impacted my corals and it shows. My corals are healthier, more stable, and looking better than ever.

This app has become an essential part of my reef keeping routine. Thank you for building such a powerful and thoughtful tool for the reefing community.
