Firefish15 Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Hey all! I just wanted to share this cool little tool I've found! It's called Aquarium Note, a free app on the Google Play store. It's basically a digital journal for your aquariums. You can enter all the events, set reminders for yourself, et cetera. I found a bunch of cool tools on it. One of the more useful ones I've found are the graphs for your test results over time. It's got a place for pretty much any parameter you test. Another one that's great for a near color-blind guy like me is a color sensor for the liquid test kits. You just take a picture of your test tube next to the chart, move three selectors, and it tells you exactly what color it is. If you log items too, it gives you an expenditure list. (Yikes ). There's some other stuff too. This may all seem like a shameless plug, but I'm not getting paid or anything. I just think it's a useful tool! Let me know what you all think! 3 Quote Link to comment
banasophia Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Hmm I use Aquarimate and I like it, but that color sensor seems pretty cool. 1 Quote Link to comment

Haven't heard of that one. I'll have to check it out for comparison! I didn't know these things existed, so my mind is just kind of blown. Quote Link to comment

Newstead Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Downloaded it and exploring it now. Seems a much better record keeper than my current one on Evermore- thanks for the heads up! 1 Quote Link to comment

Oldsalt01 Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Yah........ for ten bucks and it doesn’t offer the camera option. Figures. I just “upgraded” to iOS😝 Quote Link to comment

Free is always great...especially in this hobby😄 2 Quote Link to comment
Orangutran Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 +1 Great app! I've been using it for awhile now. It's simple to use, and seems geared towards saltwater too! 1 Quote Link to comment

I actually asked him to allow adding "notes" to the Latest Activities area, before it would just log scheduled activities like water changes. *pat on back* lol I wish I was smart enough to come up with a app like this! lol 2 Quote Link to comment

Most of the time you never hear a peep so if there is an issue at least they'll look into it. Quote Link to comment
holy carp Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 I checked it out, and it sounds pretty handy, but couldn't figure out why the app wants privileges to access my contacts and telephone calls. If it wants access to stuff, I'd like it to have access to my Apex probes... 1 Quote Link to comment
vegasgundog Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 I used it a while back and got away from it when I upgraded my phone. Been trying reefteace live....but the measurements and colors are off on the most stuff so I found it aggravating as hell. Seeing this post made me just download this again. Quote Link to comment
