Aquarium Handbook Complete App Reviews

Great database of marine aquarium fish and more. Scott has done a really great job with this app.

This is by far my most favorite tool on my IPhone. With an extensive database and regular updates it is well worth the money. The best $15 Ive spent at the App Store. Also the creator actually answers emails about additions and updates and such and you dont see that kind of customer support anymore, a welcomed change.

So I got this application because I needed something to keep track of all the fish I have in my multiple tanks. this app quickly and efficiently helps me keep all the data I need. Deffinately buy this this is equal to hundreds of dollars of aqautic books or hours of online research!

I purchased this app mainly focusing on the price and the amount of mbs; I made a huge mistake. Im new in the saltwater tank hobby and I thought this would also give me info on what to do to stabalize the diffrent levels of chemicals but it did not. This is an overpriced app and it doesnt cover many of the commen fish I see everytime in the pet store. I hope they can make the updates quickly to improve the information, until then I will keep my rating at one star. I DID NOT WANT TO GET TO MUCH IN TO DETAIL BECAUSE NO ONE EVER READS LONG REVIEWS. I will change my review according to their next upgrade, whenever it is.

I think the app needs a lot more work amd updates need to come in faster. I dont think it takes that long to look at fish species and compile information. I think members should be able to submit photos of fish that they have.

This app is pretty usefull. Allows you to track you levels, has s decently sized collection of aquatic species and information on them. The nice this about this app is that they are constantly making improvements to it and its only getting better as time goes on. Worth the price tag alone for the ability to track levels of tank, and have a fish/invert catalog.

7000 entries? Hardly! A big disappointment. Save your money.

Its a good app overall. Its great for fish auctions. However it needs more diversity.

Really? Anemones all have the same description... Awful. Just plain awful

Nice app! But could use a few things. Common names used by hobbiest would be a big plus over scientific names. Also needs more inverts such as crabs, shrimp, snails and such. Also missing a few common corals I have in my tank such as kenya tree and pumping xenia. If these few items are addressed and fixed this app will be totally worth the 15 dollar price!!!!

As hobbies and Mgr. of a shop you really need to put a bit more time in your fish, coral and add crabs lobsters etc. Into the app. You may want to use Dr. Birgesss marine aquarium fishes ATLAS it a great resource Keep up the updates, thank you!

Lame, waste of money and effort.

Need to add two of my favorite fish to the tropical fish category: Chocolate Gouramis and Rocket Panchax...

This app would be decent if it were $0.99. However, at the price listed I expected much much more. I do NOT recommend this app for any aquarist at any experience level, not even for beginners.

Awful, Awful truely Awful. Not worth 25 cents should have been free. I want my money back. Aqua Tracker many, many times better. Is there not any one that can check these apps out, to see if the people that purchase them will get there moneys worth My God.How Awful.

They have pretty much and fish you can buy at petsmart I would like them to add a new section to freshwater called oddball fish cause Im sure most of those types of fish arent listed

Most, if not all, information found in this "handbook" is taken directly from Wikipedia- even the images. For $15, at the very least, I expected a search feature. If you can locate your fish by endless scrolling, you can add it to a list. Thats all it does. I wish you could type in your tanks info and the app could tell you what you could add, suggestions, etc... Bottom line, should be free as-is. 99¢ with nice features... It currently has none. Save your $15.

Very limited content. For instance, the common names of corals are either too vague, or arent actually the common name. There is just one entry for brain coral, with a photo of the remains, not a living coral, same with some of the zoanthids. in the space for the common name of any give item is usually the Latin name, so pretty useless for something you need to identify. The photos are low quality, and in the case of coral are actually a photo of the skeletal structure of a bleached coral, rather than a living healthy specimen. Not entries for common corals like, frogspawn, torch, hammer, elegance, etc. No search feature, no cross referencing, no care guidelines. A waste of money.

Need work whith the photos and the clasification, is hard to identificate the species in the photos. But in general is better that carry whith a book to know someting about species in pet stores. Please work hard whith this app. Anythigh that makes our work less hard its good! Dont be like childrens, read more, depend less of the words and more of youre mind.

There is not a lot out there so far as apps for aquarists, but this app; part guidebook, part encyclopedia, and part custom data base for your aquarium, is a very good start. The fish handbook is large, though not yet complete, and I am still navigating my way through the home aquarium data base, which will help you to record and keep track of your water parameters and fish population. What I like best is that it is a very appropriate fusion of new and old technologies. Would definitely buy again and look forward to new editions. Would have given five stars but it is a work in progress which should improve with time and a few tweaks.
