Now, nothing. It hasn’t been updated in 3 years and no longer works properly. I want it to work. I liked it. Now it’s nothing but a waste of drive space. I hope the developer updates it, but after three years I’m not going to hold my breath. ### 2/5 — Fish Tank no longer showing *2021-06-23, version 1.91* As of June 21, 2020 the Apple TV app and iOS app no longer show the fish tank. Instead it has the menu items and a light blue background, no other options/ fish tank appear. It looks as if a server may have got disconnected. Please fix. ### 1/5 — Don’t do it! Huge waste of money! *2020-08-18* Why is it that the most expensive app is so often the worst app? Well this app takes the cake! It is so, so, so much more expensive than any other similar app and so, so, so much worse than any other similar app. It has terrible unrealistic graphics, complex settings and ugly user face. It looks like the graphics were developed using 1980’s computer technology! Save your money, don’t go there, much better virtual aquarium apps available in the app store at a fraction of the cost. My worse app purchase ever, don’t make the same horrible mistake. ### 1/5 — Crashes with new Apple TV update last week *2018-11-06, version 1.91* It crashes after the recent Apple TV update. Please fix!! ### 2/5 — Okay But... *2018-11-05, version 1.91* Fish movements tend to be pretty mechanical - especially when moving up or down. Fish also swim through each other and through the ornaments. Would really be nice if we had the option to view the tank with the background & ornaments but without the glass. A little angry that I’ve spent money buying shells to add to my aquarium (added almost everything) and then they decide to unlock everything for everyone after I’ve already paid for it all!! ### 1/5 — Very crude, lacking features & not elegant in the least *2018-10-28, version 1.9* Sadly this app is not the virtual fish tank I had hoped for. It has a limited number of backgrounds, the ones available are as ugly as it gets, the graphics are very poor. The fish move in a choppy manner. I had hoped that this would be my virtual fish tank that I could play on my 50” inch tv in my study 24/7 as a dedicated virtual fish tank. I would be embarrassed if I had guests over and they saw this on my wall. I hope improvements and updates are to come in the future. I will change my review if that is the case. ### 3/5 — Iphone X Update wäre nett! *2018-08-29, version 1.8* Letztes Update schon länger her. ### 5/5 — Beautiful Aquarium *2018-01-12, version 1.8* What a nice appt. I love the changing camera angles, but then it can remain on just one as well. We think it is so peaceful. The fish are gorgeous and the plants vivid. Definitely worth the money! ### 5/5 — Beautiful and relaxing *2017-08-08, version 1.8* This has been a great addition to our study. Lots of options. Would love to see the ability to change the camera view over time with the reef setup. Update, from the developer: You can actually change camera views in the reef automatically. If you go to SETTINGS you can set SHUFFLE to 1, 5 or 10 minutes. When in that mode, if you are in the reef it will switch to a random camera view (there are 14) at the chosen intervals. ### 5/5 — Outstanding. Use it before bed. *2016-12-11, version 1.7* I have two of the ocean tanks and will be setting up a third. I have an assortment of beautiful fish, with a couple of sharks and sea turtles. I am quite happy to buy the inexpensive "shells" which is the currency to add in tanks. I like being able to change the mix of fish, then it dawned on me to just set up some different tanks and go nuts having a concentration of say blue or yellow fish. There is a good assortment and their swimming is very lifelike. I now see them as conscious beings and will probably name a few. Seriously. Relaxing any time and before bed, with or without music it helps to relax and sleep better I am hoping the already great fish selection will get expanded. Love this app! ## Frequently asked questions about Aqua TV ### What devices does Aqua TV support? Aqua TV is available on Apple TV, iPhone, iPad, and iPod.
