User Reviews

Users appreciate the app's ability to track tank parameters and integrate well with various reef devices. However, many complain about slow loading times, poor connectivity, and a confusing, buggy interface that hampers usability. Notifications often fail, the back button unexpectedly exits the app, and the overall design is cluttered with unnecessary features. There is strong demand for a simpler, more reliable version focusing on core functions. While the hardware is well-regarded, the app's issues significantly detract from the user experience, causing frustration and limiting effective use of the product ecosystem.
Pros
  • Allows tracking of tank parameters and dosing, providing detailed information about the tank.
  • Supports multiple devices like dosing pumps, KH Keeper, and light control with overall good hardware integration.
  • Offers extensive input options for tank data and allows customization to hide unwanted parameters.
  • Provides historical data and logging features for parameter tracking when functioning properly.
Cons
  • App is slow to load and connect to devices, with frequent disconnections and timeouts.
  • User interface is frustrating: back button closes app, small text, unintuitive navigation, and poor usability.
  • Many bugs such as missing notifications, language inconsistencies, and lost data during app switching.
  • Excessive complexity and bloatware; users desire a simpler or 'lite' version focusing on essential functions.
  • Lack of useful features like easy ICP sample registration, QR scanning, and proper graph displays.

This app is shocking. It takes forever to load and once it does, it cuts out half way through reading or making changes to dosing. Please fix your app!!!
