Every time I click on it it just glitches out and nothing happens. ### 5/5 — reminder and note *2023-07-24* reminder item and note item has problems i set reminders but i dont know why not active and doesn't have alarm for it and when i removed last reminders they are exist on reminder list after delete !!! i think this nice app need update for this problems and really i waiting for it and i should say for analyze parameters are best and i like ReefTrace design 😉😉😉 ### 2/5 — Was good at one point *2022-09-25, version 22.9.0* I've had this app for a couple years. The original version was great, but the constant reworks and updates to the app are not. Maybe I'm getting old but each update is more confusing than the last, and more expensive. I'm going back to pen and paper. Unsubscribed. ### 5/5 — Best app *2022-01-08, version 21.12.0* I use it for work for multiple tanks and even at home great app to see how consistent your water parameters are! It’s awesome ### 1/5 — Terrible support *2022-01-03, version 21.12.0* Every time they make an update to this app, they break several of the features. I have tried contacting them via Facebook , Their email address, and through their website. They have not responded to any of them. In fact, their email shows as “undeliverable”. All of my data is tied up in this app and I cannot access it until they fix it. Very frustrating. Used to be a good app, but not anymore. **Developer response:** Sorry to learn you faced issues. You can contact us through our support platform at https://reeftrace.com/support so we can assist you. ### 5/5 — I like it *2021-11-09* Just wanted a good solid app to track parameters and see them over time. This so far does that exact job very well. Not sure I will use any other features but as I said it does what I was after perfectly. ### 1/5 — Ripped me off *2021-10-18, version 21.2.3* I tried to get a refund, because this app is not a asset. It’s very complicated and takes lots of time to log the parameters. It’s quicker to just manually write on a peace of paper. But anyways I was just very briefly on the app and I deleted it of my phone . And I was denied a refund 2 times . Completely ripped me off SMH ### 5/5 — Love it *2021-07-04, version 21.2.3* I heard about this app thru Melev’s Reef YouTube channel and I have been using it, loving it, and recommending it ever since. Best way to say goodbye to the composition books. ### 1/5 — Not working *2021-04-21, version 21.2.0* Partner with eXact iDip, not east to get to work together, sensafe helped on their end, but now I’m waiting on ReefTrace. Their website support form is broken, Sensafe sent me their email address so I could contact them. It would be nice if there were instructions. Looking a waste of money, first you have to purchase the app then if you want it to work with a controller you’ll have to purchase a yearly subscription. So far I’m thinking... refund **Developer response:** Sorry to learn you faced issues. Please contact us through our support platform at https://reeftrace.com/support so we can assist you. ### 1/5 — Not for newbies to the hobby *2021-04-13, version 21.2.0* Im pretty tech savvy but I could not comprehend this app. I dont like the fact that you have to use certain products. I already have a bunch of useful products so Im just going to use this other app thats customized to the product brnd tht you use. **Developer response:** We're sorry you're having issues, please contact us through our support platform at https://reeftrace.com/support so we can add other test kits that you need. ## Frequently asked questions about ReefTrace ### What does ReefTrace do?
