Reefbreeder's App??

[FishLvR]

Just today I found out there is another app that I am supposed to be using. These are Photon V2, is that like a thing? Oooooorrrrrr is it something they tried and like every other thing in this cursed hobby they scrapped it when, I'm guessing based on 25 years in the hobby, it didn't work at all. I watched a youtube video and it told me nothing but showed me that the new app was somehow even more magically crap than the one I am currently using. Taking away "features" like edit in favor of a animated fish icon in the background. So do I need that app or can I just keep slogging away with this current app?

I dont remember what features may have been added or removed, have never used either app after setting them up for the first time, but yes, you need to download the new app. I believe the old one stopped working last year.

I just checked my email, you should have gotten one last April. It says the nexus app would stop working on June 1.

I believe this thread explain the business decision behind the new app which is now completely owned by RB. I linked to the post I think is most relevant but the whole thread might be worth reading

What do you mean taking away features like edit? I never used the old app. I don’t see anything in the new one that I can’t edit

Will say I’m a newer user of the new app and I found it very easy to use, and it’s worked flawless for me so far
