iPhone app? What would you want in such a thing?

[mchambers]

If you could have an aquarium app that ran on your phone, what features would you want?

Andrewtfw and chriscoli suggested to me that it could alert you as to upcoming drops in barometric pressure.

What features would you want?

maintenance schedule, warranty record file (like to take pics of receipts incase a heater fails)? maby notifications of power outages in your area, most usefull would be a wikipedia style species profile section for stuff like size compatability recomended tank size blah blah.

 

[MDB_fish_newbie]

also an ipp that you could dunk your phone in the tank and it would read all the water parameters =]

Age of stuff:
Filter media
Food

Date the each filter media was changed.
Date lights were changed...
too optimistic, take a picture and know the light output
primary disease symptom registry - complete a symptom form and it coughs out probable diagnosis(likely treatment) - this would require some solid comprehensive research and database....and a disclaimer
'What can I add' tab - select your temperature, water parameters, tank inhabitant and it suggest list of plants or tank mates which can be added...

 

[dogofwar]

Sensors to - accurately - measure water parameters would be great.

Literally or fugitively?

All of the above, plus links to vendor's websites with a highlight on sales, new shipments, imports, etc.

I've been looking for a very flexible app that would allow me to track each tank and list inhabitants (fish/plants), water test parameters, and maintenance. I'd like to be able to graph water parameters or temp over time and I'd like a calendar reminder for recurring maintenance tasks.

Maybe a separate project would be a simple one to allow BAP participants to track their successes and pre-populate the BAP form while keeping a point tally.

Turns the flashlight into a powerful UV laser that zaps algae. And ich.

Oh yeah, and it has a calendar that syncs up every cichlid club's event across the country. You could create crazy fish club road trips and such.

And The Catfish Event also

It would be really cool to have a mobile equivalent of MGA for BAP programs. One club in the midwest does have a BAP article generator online.

I would never remember to actually update the information in it, so odds are, while all of these features sound great, they'd be completely wasted on me !

 

[NateKonkel]

Honestly I would like an application that would allow you to buy/sell/trade fish. There is nothing like that on the phone that I have seen (I check all the time!). Something better looking than aquabid but with similar functionality.

I have the non-exploding model - turns out those of us who can't afford all the bells and whistles on a phone finally won .
