In the IOS version, this has been built in already and it
                             is planned for the Android version too. Another thing
                             that is also very useful, for more experienced hobbyists,
                             is keeping track of water parameters over time in
                             graphs. But not only that, I plan to include advice about
                             what to do when one or more values are not as desired.

       FROM NOW              The Koi encyclopedia is also planned to be built in
                             soon. The data is ready in 3 languages, only IT
       ON, THE APP           sponsorship is required, as with all planned
                             improvements to the app. I am a father, family man and
       IS A SORT             Koi hobbyist with a day job outside of the Koi industry
       OF CROWD              and will remain to be so. I have stretched my budget
                             over the past few years to get this far but that only goes
       FUNDING               a certain distance which has been reached.
       PROJECT               From now on, the app is a sort of crowd funding
                             project. With every download a little part of an upgrade
                             to the app can be funded and it is my objective to keep
                             updating this app. It has taken literally years already to
                             get to this point and with the Koi hobbyists’ help I can
                             build on this. But now the basic and well-functioning
                             versions are there, and I believe it has the potential to
                             become a useful tool for all Koi hobbyists throughout
                             the whole pyramid. Now, as an easy one click source,
                             you can access your stored information, and my
                             objective is to share knowledge and create a shorter
                             learning curve, so we can spend more time with, and
                             talking about, our beautiful Koi.
                             Most of you who are reading this will be part of the top
                             of the pyramid and might not need the app as it is now.
                             But if you believe that sharing knowledge is a good
                             thing, and making sure that new Koi Keepers can have
                             a faster learning curve, this can only make our hobby
                             stronger, by using the app, as I believe hobbyists will.
                             Please make Koi Keepers aware that there is an app
                             that can help them avoid the basic mistakes that many
                             of us have encountered. And who knows, hopefully I
                             can keep improving the app into a tool you would all
                             like to use. I am always open for suggestions and
                             support: kecskoi2015@outlook.com

                             If you would like to purchase the app (currently £2.29),
