Good app. Good price. Still have room for improvements
tinywhoop
Very good. Especially for the price it gets the job done. Don’t wanna spend like $15 for an app and sometimes I’m too lazy to open the laptop to drop down all the readings. This is the way to go.Hopefully they can add an option to set target parameters for each tank. Since I have crs, crs shrimp tanks, planted tanks... different lives stocks requires different numbers.Also wondering if there is an option to sort the tanks in custom orders. Some tanks may require more attentions and preferably on the top of the list.Would like to have option to show thumbnails of the tanks instead of a large pic which makes searching for tanks a lot easier. Especially when we have lots of tanks and the numbers are keep growing.One bug I found is the app shut down by itself when pressure touch on the tanks list. To sum up, I like this app. Thumbs up. Thanks

Good, but really needs improvements

This app is extremely useful, and I enjoy using it to log everything for my current aquariums, as well as prepping for future aquarium builds. It’s extremely organized and easy to use. A few issues I’ve noticed are that the quantity and cost inputs do not work /update after already creating a profile (of a fish for example). I’ve also noticed that two tanks with the same measurements have completely different water volume calculations. One 440 gallon aquarium is correct, while the other appears as 366 gallons. I haven’t noticed this with any of my other aquariums. The database section is kind of useless how it’s currently set up, but I feel like having an “add to [selected tank] in [selected category]” option would be extremely useful, since aquarists often use the same types of equipment in different tank setups. I think having that option for anything in the database, whether that be fish, food, equipment, etc would be highly beneficial. Another thing that could be fixed is that the background on the food section (it goes by a different name) seems to be cutting through places it should have ended and make the font impossible to see, especially when there’s white on the image. Keep in mind, there might be a few other things I’ve forgot to mention, especially when it comes to certain inputs not updating once the profile has been made. But, those are the only two that I can recall, and the two that are especially bothersome. I am also not on Mobile, as I am using this on my iPad.

Thank you for all your suggestions to improve the app. We are looking to add these into the app!!
Almost perfect

Covers most of the parameter we all need to monitor. I think though that while (on the app) the parameters section takes in your GH PPM reading the graph display is really looking at °dGH instead. So in my case for my Crystal Red Shrimp tank that is using all RO water my GH reading even at 5°dGH (89.5 ppm) gives a Red exclamation stating that my reading is too high. I would like to see an option readily to document document my tanks TDS readings. For now I have to manually enter these readings in.
Developer Response
Version 1.6.5 has added TDS and clarified GH as dGH. Please email us at support@jcrsoftware.com if you have more suggestions. Thanks!
Pretty good

It’s a good app to keep track. What I don’t like about it is that you can’t adjust the range of values on the dashboard. Like, nitrates are from 0 to 20ppm. And the graph is so small that shifts from 0ppm to .50 or 1ppm is not noticeable. And why would the top of nitrates table be 20ppm??! That seems pretty high for everyday monitoring.. even if cycling. But other then that I love it. For a free app, it’s great!
