Release notes

What's new in ReefFlow

Everything that changes in the app, version by version.

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.
