Release notes

What's new in ReefFlow

Everything that changes in the app, version by version.

Version 9.0.0

ReefFlow now fully supports freshwater: create freshwater and planted tanks with their own parameters and ideal ranges, hundreds of species to log, and a health score that explains every dimension of the grade.

New

  • Freshwater and planted aquariums: pick the right type when creating a tank and the whole app adapts, from ideal parameter ranges to each type's colors and icons.
  • Freshwater parameters with ideal ranges per type: pH, GH, KH, temperature, nitrate and TDS; planted tanks also track phosphate and iron.
  • Hundreds of freshwater species in the catalog, ready to add to your aquarium's livestock.
  • Understand your score: tap each dimension of the health grade to see how it is calculated and what weighs on the result.
  • Test kits per parameter: the inventory shows which parameters each kit covers and, when you save a test, stock is automatically debited from every kit you used.
  • Log the test the way you measured it: declare the reading's scale or convention, like NO3 vs N-NO3, NH3 vs NH4 and density at different references, and the app interprets the value correctly.

Improvements

  • Tab names are now always visible in the bottom navigation bar.
  • Density in the hobby standard: shown with three decimals (1.025) and always consistent with the salinity range.
  • Aquariums created on older versions get a guided reconfirmation of the aquarium type, ensuring the right ranges and features.
  • The smart parameter analysis is now called AquaIntel.
  • More text in the app's language: automatic notes from connected devices and partner catalog messages are now translated.

Fixes

  • The analysis card on the test detail screen now refreshes on its own when an analysis completes.
  • The aquarium screen reloads when returning from the edit wizard, reflecting changes right away.
  • The stability score is now identical on every screen.
  • Legacy test kits show up by their brand name again.
  • General stability fixes and performance improvements.

Version 8.5.0

The Community is here: explore other hobbyists' public aquariums in a highlights feed, like and save your favorites, browse public profiles with unlocked achievements, and publish your own aquarium for the world to see.

New

  • New Community: discover other hobbyists' public aquariums in a highlights feed and open each one to see the photos, health score, parameters, livestock, equipment and journal.
  • Like and save the aquariums you enjoy and visit public profiles with each hobbyist's bio, aquariums and unlocked achievements, in the app's language.
  • Publish your own aquarium to the Community and choose exactly what stays visible: parameters, livestock, equipment, maintenance and journal.
  • Automatic dosing (Premium): enable it on the supplement, pick one or more times per day and every dose lands in the journal with stock debited automatically, even with the app closed.
  • Reservoir alert: tell us how many days of stock remaining (or below which amount) you want to be warned at and get a notification before the supplement runs out.
  • An "Auto" badge in the inventory marks supplements with automatic dosing on, and automatic doses are labeled in the journal.
  • New "Completion date" field when completing a maintenance task: log today something you did yesterday (or earlier) and it lands on the right day in your history.
  • Recurring tasks completed with a past date compute the next occurrence from the day you actually did them, not the day you logged them.
  • The automatic journal entry and stock usage now follow the real completion date.

Improvements

  • Logging an already-done maintenance (log mode) now honors the chosen date and time instead of stamping the moment you saved it.
  • Lighter, more elegant launch, login and sign-up screens: soft light rays instead of the bubble particles.

Fixes

  • Fixed manual dose logging in the journal, which failed due to a permission restriction.
  • Fixed the "Could not update aquarium" error when saving edits to aquariums created on older app versions.
  • Fixed a crash when opening species with decimal values in lifespan fields.
  • The app language now syncs to our servers right on first launch, ensuring notifications arrive in the correct language.
  • Fixed a crash on app launch that affected some devices on the loading screen.
  • Fixed a rare crash while preparing ads on Android.
  • Much better species search: finds compound names ("stenopus shrimp") and ignores accents.

Version 8.4.0

Greatly improved English and Spanish translations, a new weekly goal with featured quests on the home screen and connected device readings on your parameter tiles.

New

  • Much better translations: interface, journal, tips and notifications are now far more complete in English and Spanish.
  • New weekly goal with featured quests on the home screen to keep your care routine on track.
  • Home parameter tiles now prioritize fresh readings from your connected devices, with a badge showing the source.
  • New announcements banner on the home screen: news, promotions and scheduled maintenance straight from the ReefFlow team.

Improvements

  • Quests redesigned with a cleaner look and automatic celebration on completion.
  • Automatic journal entries now show in the app language, including older ones.
  • Dates and times across the app follow your chosen language.

Fixes

  • Weekly goal count fixed: logged tests now count correctly, even after reopening the app.
  • Notifications arrive in your account language.
  • Stability fixes across the app, including charts and session restore.
