Stability on an iPhone5 is questionable at many places in the app. The app does not make use of basic iOS capabilities such as self-rotating when the iPad or IPhone is in a different orientation. Info in the 4 fee-based databases is for the most part very basic and could use significant updating, including higher-res photos. Unfortunately in its present release, I can't recommend this app and will continue to use alternative information sources for now. ### 1/5 — Still crap *2014-02-17, version 4.1* Still crashes with the latest update. You ruined a good app. Stop trying to worry about making so much money off of advertisements and coral sells and go back to making a useful app for reefers. ### 1/5 — Horrible! *2013-11-07, version 4.0.2* please bring back the old UI this app went from great to garbage just like iOS 7 Horrible UI less user-friendly make an update with the old UI and I will reinstall the app ### 3/5 — Crashing *2013-10-25, version 4.0.1* Great idea but it continues to crash on certain fish and corals and needs to be updated ### 4/5 — Very Useful *2013-10-07, version 4.0.1* Love the app, but it needs to be updated. Lots of crashing since iOS 7 was released. ### 1/5 — Needs work *2013-09-24, version 4.0.1* Crashes all the time. Databases very incomplete. Wish I didn't waste the money to unlock the databases. Hoping it will improve. ### 2/5 — At first glance, awesome, but... *2012-09-18, version 3.2* When you go ahead and pay for the fish and coral databases, the app crashes when trying to view the paid for data. One specific is the "false lemon peel tang", as soon as you attempt to scroll to the data the app crashes. The free part works, just don't waste the money on the pay portions until they fix it. Great potential, if you actually got what you paid for. ### 1/5 — Waste of space *2012-08-03, version 3.1.1* Reef magazine recommended this junk? Really?? Remind me, why are we paying 1.98 for an incomplete fish and coral database when all of our phones/iPods/Ipads are google capable? I repeat myself, junk!! ### 2/5 — IDK *2012-04-19, version 3.0* Pics won't load and the app always has 99+ new posts every time I open it...when I read a few posts and go back, it still says 99+...for 1.99 this thing should work. No landscape keyboard, really? Oh and the fish and coral parts are an additional dollar EACH...extra nonsense...please fix this app ### 1/5 — Stupid *2011-07-07, version 2.0* Really stupid irrelevant information. Waste! Duh ### 3/5 — Update and fix this app please!!! *2010-10-27, version 0* Fix the bugs please!!! Crashes after looking at market place and can't view all pictures ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Terrible app *2020-10-14, version 5.5.2* Can’t post on forums, posts get cut off. Clearly they didn’t work the bugs out of this one. Avoid unless you want to be frustrated. ### 1/5 — Paid databases won’t load *2020-06-02, version 5.2.3* Paid for the database access and it doesn’t download. Wish I could get my money back as this is a complete waste. ### 1/5 — Terrible app *2019-10-07, version 5.2.2* App keeps crashing. Doesn’t show members location. Web version is so much better. ### 1/5 — Look for a better app *2017-06-01, version 5.2.1* App continually crashes and no pages will load ### 1/5 — Database issues? *2016-09-27, version 5.2* The app seemed pretty appealing because it offered a database for fish, coral and other saltwater aquarium information. But once I attempted to get any databases nothing would load up. Even after 3 days of attempting to get them during multiple times in the day nothing happened. 👺 Another disappointment is the lack of ability to contact any help personnel or tech for the app to address the issue. ### 1/5 — No point *2015-03-12, version 4.3* I downloaded this app to see if there were any other reef stores near me that I was missing. Apparently there are none... Anywhere ### 1/5 — Doesn't work. Waste of time. *2014-10-05, version 4.3* It keep saying loading and doesn't load. ### 1/5 — Stinks *2014-03-29, version 4.1* I hate this app! It is not reliable and never works. I have had the app for years and it has become progressively worse. The app just was updated and now it doesn't even load any of the forums. I am disappointed because this app was good at one point. I really hope they fix the bugs. They are always updating it claiming that they fixed the bugs but the app just got worst! ### 1/5 — Wow! *2014-03-16, version 4.1* Guys Just give up turn tapatalk back on. This thing crashes all the time. When it doesn't crash it shows double posts. Very annoying and reflects badly on the site ### 1/5 — Looked better in MACNA *2014-03-07, version 4.1* This app crashes right away cant browse at all. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — New enhancements are AWESOME! *2022-03-29, version 6.0.5* I love what is happening with this app, every release it gets better and better. It really is my guide for all tank related things. ### 5/5 — Crashing issues *2014-04-07* .... Fortunately I know fish and work with them, however when I am opening reefs it crashes as soon as it goes to the home screen. Been doing this for 2 days now. Not happy, I've bought a lot from here!!! Otherwise I'm happy just the crash issue is driving me Infreakingsane. Other than this definately 5*'s ***** ### 5/5 — My go to for Fish ID! *2013-09-15* I bought this last year and the fish database keeps getting bigger and bigger. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Wow! *2013-09-14, version 4.0.1* This app has a lot of features. You really need to play around with it to see all it can do. The coral database is pretty thorough. ### 5/5 — Hallelujah! *2013-09-14, version 4.0.1* This is the app to go to whenever you need your coral questions answered ### 5/5 — Great App! *2013-08-27, version 4.0* Great App! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2013-01-28, version 3.2* Great app and works great. I would really love to see an IPAD app soon. ### 5/5 — Great app *2012-03-14, version 3.0* New changes are great! But it needs landscape keyboard again. Difficult to read threads and type without landscape. Especially when it was there before and we are used to it. ### 5/5 — Best APP I ever bought *2010-11-14, version 0* it has taking over my app use, 99.99% of me using apps is this one :-). 5/5 cause it is still the best APP I've ever bought , could use a upgrade but still the best ;-)....... ### 5/5 — The best ap I ever purchased *2010-05-21, version 0* Wow never thought I would use an ap all day every day.. If ur into reef have a tank this is the best investment u could do for ur tank --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
