  • Auto-sync behavior has been improved, including better handling of interrupted or unsuccessful sync attempts.
  • Syncing is now more consistent between devices and less likely to incorrectly report a failure.

Custom parameter range improvements

  • Custom parameter ranges now save more reliably.
  • Parameter ranges are now kept correctly associated with the tank they belong to.
  • Improved consistency between iOS, Android, and Reef Trak on the web.
  • Custom ranges should now behave more predictably when managing multiple tanks.

Finding livestock in the catalog received a substantial upgrade.

  • Search invertebrates using their common name.
  • Search using scientific/species names.
  • Added support for alternate names and synonyms.

  • Additional refinements to make importing ICP results more dependable across supported laboratories.

Cross-platform consistency

We've also continued tightening up the differences between Reef Trak on iOS, Android, and the web.

Parameter ranges, tank-specific settings, search behavior, and synchronization now behave more consistently regardless of which Reef Trak platform you use.

Plus more

As always, 2.3.9 includes additional bug fixes, usability improvements, and refinements throughout Reef Trak.

This has been a larger two-week development cycle, with much of the work focused on making existing features more dependable while continuing to expand Reef Trak's connected-device capabilities.
