I love it!!
I love it!!
Updates made the app worse. For example you can add salinity to 1.0255 and now it rounds it up. AquaticLog is better
Great having all my numbers and stock in one place
The analysis of testing parameters is nice but I wish they included a stocking calculator and more varied species of fish In the database.
Great for beginners
Love the app, pricing is fair, great way to keep track of all the corals. However there is room for improvement, like being able to click on a photo and see a enlarged photo vs. the reduction that happens currently. In general if the devs read this, please consider a Ui review. Some of the features would do well to have a shortcut present or option at add from other areas.
I have tried multiple apps to track my reef systems and this one is by far the best. I have 5 reef tanks and this application allows me to track all them with ease. Test notes, tank changes, livestock tracking, equipment tracking, total tank cost of ownership are all included. The tasks section has changed how reef. With 5 tanks the tasks remind me to change filter socks, what to dose and when, coral food, trace elements and of course water changes. It is more intuitive and user friendly than the similar functions within my Neptune Apex.
I’m relatively new to aquariums, only having had one for about 1.5 years. Over that time, I went from a 5.5 gallon to a 9 gallon to a 75 gallon that I just started up about 2 months ago. The Aquarimate app has been WONDERFUL for tracking water parameters, tank inhabitants, light settings, filter media changes, feeding schedules, and so on. Love the customizable task reminders, so I don’t have to worry about remembering when to do each little thing. I highly recommend this app!
No one answers issues and questions you make ask.
This app was good when I had 1 tank but once I started managing a few a lot of issues arose. Can’t copy tasks across tanks have to manually recreate them, can’t share products across tanks, have to manually recreate them. A lot of manual work and easy to fix issues.
I purchased the app and thought 10 bucks ain’t bad for what it’ll do but then I opened the app and asked to subscribe ? Like didn’t I just pay 10 bucks for access to the app ? Or is it 10 dollars just to open the login screen ? Ridiculous why don’t they just price the app at 20 and no subscription needed for an app you already paid for
I downloaded 5+ aquarium tracking apps. This one was by far the best!
I tried several free apps before buying this one. This app is actually incredibly well designed. Visually organized, attractively designed, just the right amount of detail for thorough reef tank tracking & logging. The app developers seem to have thought of everything and knew exactly where to put the data for easy reference. BEST APP FIND IN A LONG TIME.
I submitted a support request two months ago, got an automated response with a case number. Then crickets! Same thing two weeks ago. Most of the app works fine, so I’m still giving 3 stars.
It says that I can import my data from the Hannah instruments, marine, master, multi parameter photometer, but there are no instructions how to do this. I will increase the rating once it gets instructions on how to do this.
I wanted an app to save a history of water testing results from my aquarium. This app is great for that & will even create a graph & put reminders for tank maintenance on your calendar. If you put in all your animals it will alert you to possible conflicts in compatibility. There are features I haven’t made full use of, I’m still putting in all my tank inhabitants, chemicals & equipment. There’s a place to store photos, a wishlist - I’m not even scratching the surface I feel. Worth the money.
I am an inveterate note taker and this is the ideal app for organizing all my notes.
I have been using this app even before I got my Neptune Systems on four of my tanks. It just does so much and keep an inventory of my equipment gathering test results in a place where I find easier to get summaries from just my Neptune Apex. I use reminders extensively for to manage media and maintenance. I have none that come close.
Does all I need to managenumorouc tanks
Was good but dev no longer answers questions DO NOT DOWNLOAD
I have no idea how an app that essentially charges you twice to do nothing more than what you can accomplish using Microsoft Excel could garner 5 star ratings unless they are getting paid to write these reviews. Their database for fish, plants, and equipment contains little more than what can find in a typical PetSmart and it does nothing else than the ability to graph the test results from your weekly water tests. Nothing more. Literally. No thing more. You are better off capturing your results on a spreadsheet of your choice. And they actually manage a way to charge you twice to find this out. This is the type of app you wish Apple would allow a zero star rating for in order to post a review.
I’ve been using this app for several years now and it find it indispensable. I love the target dosing calculator and being able to keep track of my parameter's. The reminders for maintenance help me keep track of all aspects of keeping a reef aquarium.
Overall, this is the single best app I've found for managing my tanks. That said, when you're managing more than one, some of the newer features can be a bit unwiely. For instance, right now, you have to recreate things like supplements and foods for each of tanks, even though it's probably the same bottle being used. It strikes me that they those sections might work better being tank-agnostic. Then we could create feeding or dosing tasks for any tank and choose from that central list of foods/supplments. Thanks for your continued efforts to improve the app!
I deleted and reinstalled the app and now it opens again. I only wish the developer suggested this to me the two times I contacted them for assistance. I love the app I was just frustrated when it would not open without trying for days at a time. Now that I reinstalled it seems to open when I click on it again.
I love this app and don’t know how I got along without it. Great job devs. Keep up the great work.
I love the app but I don’t know the scientific name for my fishes. Also I would like to see a much broader list of species and plants to select, it needs options for amphibians and clams.
I love this app. It keep my husbandry on track and gives great analytics. I also use the Aquaribase when shopping for new animals for my reef.
Edit: the update option no longer works. If I try to change an entry it changes back when I open the app again… I religiously use this app to track the parameters of my tank. The new update is great, love that everything is in one place. One suggestion, I track a lot of parameters so I have to scroll to select the one I want. Can you make some dashboard organizing options? I use the parameters more than tasks and that leaves a lot of blank space at the bottom I could use to double stack the parameter icons so I don’t have to scroll. Regardless this app rocks, thanks for the update!
Some of the tasks are manual and suggested input would be a great added feature. Maybe allow users to share data and create an average for certain parameters? Either way a great organizational tool!
Great app, really helps me keep track of everything. Would love to see a swipe to go back option.
I have used this app probably since it came out. The changes the developer has made I really like with the latest update. It is so nice to customize what I need it to do and to have the reminders at a glance so I don’t fall behind. I have an additional reef aquarium in my son’s room that I have a separate tank setup on here separately which is another nice feature. I might upgrade to the advanced version someday.
I’ve used and really liked this app for quite awhile, but the latest release doesn’t seem to have been well tested. First it crashed every time I touched a task, and now that this has been fixed, I noticed that every SG entry like 1.025 or, using the Tropic Marin hydrometer, 1.0257, have ALL been rounded to 1.03. I am so upset. I may be done with this app now unless there’s a way to get the pre-upgrade data back.
After the update to the newest version, when trying to access Tasks, the app crashes.
I like the redesign except one thing, no button to access parameters. I like how they are displayed at the top, but took me a few minutes to figure out how to add a reading. A dedicated button as before would be nicer and faster.
High purchase price for the app, and a yearly subscription feature for $10 per year for cloud access. GUI isn’t smooth or intuitive. App hasn’t been updated in 3 years. It’s still one of the better ones out there, but it isn’t going to get any better and it is inevitable that it breaks when iOS updates.
What’s going on ? Is this app ever getting an update ? There’s so many bugs.
If you add daily task it shows due by a week so obviously a bug.
I have used this app for about 5 years. There are no other programs like Aquarimate, at least not that I have found. Honestly, I no longer even look for another one. The ease from setting up a new system to viewing a tanks analytics from a mature system is a breeze. The ability to add livestock, plants, corals and invertebrate to a particular set up couples with the notes is a huge plus. This is primarily what I use it for. A few years ago I developed a leak in a tank. I never removed fish for breeding from this tank, but if you notice extra fish from breeding add them to your livestock count. If I hadn’t recorded the number of fish in that tank I would have missed several of the Pygmy Cory. If a tank crashes you can delete the whole system or keep it and start a new system. The biggest drawback for this app is there are no standard drop menus for water parameters. Every time I set up a system I must re-enter everything. It’s time consuming but worth it. On a lesser note, the livestock and plant list could have more, and a way to upload a pic to notes would really help too. If there is a way to do any of these things they need to make it more obvious.
This app has been great as a journal for tracking this trek. I discontinued saltwater years ago but recently got back in after 20 years.
Aquarimate meets my needs and I am glad I bought it. It is very flexible and allows recording of a variety of items in addition to the core function of test logging. Once set up, logging of recurring or intermittent activities is easy. I appreciate the ability to enter livestock information; for example, for reference I’ve entered PAR ranges for corals I own. On the other hand, flexible software inherently has a somewhat higher learning curve, still not very high IMO for Aquarimate. My suggestions for improvement include ability to copy supplement and equipment info between aquariums, and the ability to break down expenses by type and time period.
I love being able to put the water test instructions in so I don’t have to look at cards. I love having a timer right there. I love being able to keep records on my tanks. Love love love.
I am so angry that I got sucked into paying for this app because there is no free trial. $10 to buy it and a $10 per year subscription is far too expensive for an app that feels like it was designed 10 years ago and never changed. The worst parts: 1. It writes in your calendar and gums up your regular schedule. If you have as many tanks as I do, this turns into an absolute cluttered nightmare and makes your calendar incredibly difficult to read and navigate. If you have a shared calendar, your partner will also hate this. There is absolutely no reason for these tasks to exist in your calendar when they already exist in the app anyway. 2. You have to input equipment and food separately for each tank. This means if you feed the same food to 4 different tanks, you have to input that same food 4 times in each of the tank databases. Infuriating oversight that makes the entire process feel like a horrible chore. 3. The dashboard is confusing to navigate. It doesn't have a "home" button, you have to click in 3 separate locations to see all of your tanks and then be sure you select the right one. It is very easy to add something to the wrong tank because the only notable difference between tank profiles is the name in small text at the top. This app isn't even very usable if you only have 1 or 2 tanks because at that point do you really want to pay $20 just to record data for one tank? Ridiculous. Also worth mentioning that the database they boast did not have a single one of the freshwater foods that I feed and I have over 6 different brands and types (Sera, repashy, demysis, xtreme to name a few). I want my money back. What a waste and utter disappointment.
The app works well and keeps everything about your aquarium in one place. There is nothing automated about the app however. One has to enter all the information. It would be nice if the app had suggested “fixes” when water parameters are out of whack. My last comment is support is non existent. I paid 9.99 for the app and was charged twice. When I was refunded 9.99, the app no longer worked. I could not use it. Period. It appears one has to pay 9.99 just for the app and an additional 9.99 for a subscription in order to use it. After many emails to support about this, no one ever responded. I was forced to pay the 9.99 again in order to use the app. The only reason I did this was that I had already spent hours entering all my data. To me support is an integral part of an app, if it does not exist, the app should be free. I would suggest trying a different app before buying this one.
The app is good and if you need a place to track info a great tool to have but my only issue I cannot join the live section my phone freezes. This a brand new Iphone. I tried on my ipad and it worked but no luck here and all my info is on my ohone that I need to get into the cloud but cannot do so….
Great easy app to keep track of your parameters over time.
Watch out. Bought the app for iPad, paid additional for cloud & sharing, and not having any luck with working across platforms such as with iPhone. Many attempts at asking for help, contacting tech support, but no responses. Like others have said, program might be nice (albeit pricey), but with the very bad, nonexistent service/tech support, makes you want to look for better.
I just started using this a few days ago and so far its been really handy managing my 8 different aquariums. I keep freshwater species and my only issue so far is it did not come with a GH & KH parameter preinstalled for tracking which is really important for my tanks.
Good
I mainly used this app on Android/PC. I’ve had multiple problems over the last year or so, including my tasks constantly disappearing on me on one platform and frequent syncing issues. I’ve submitted multiple support tickets with no answers, and today had to resubscribe for a year to simply login and access my data! That’s not what the subscription even says it’s for, it’s supposed to be for multiple device access (although it’s clearly not supported on other platforms at all). This is extremely disappointing for a paid service and hardly worth the slight convenience it may provide. Devs, why do you even bother to have other versions of the app for your consumers to pay for if you don’t support it properly?
