Puffers, Seahorses, Clownfish, Crabs & Crawfish could be included for example. ### 5/5 — Beautiful *2023-07-09, version 1.0* AND youdon't have to clean the aquarium! ### 5/5 — Quite right . *2023-07-09* Quite right . ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2023-02-28, version 1.0* i love it ### 5/5 — This is amazing🤯 *2023-01-05, version 1.0.3* This is super fun you get to play with little beta fish they’re so cute. They’re very fun to play with you can’t feed them but it’s still very very fun. lots of different colors. Very fun animal game. ### 5/5 — good *2022-12-22, version 1.0* good ### 5/5 — MC *2022-12-08* Bought your Beautiful Beta Fish Screen Saver, and it will not install into the System Settings, under Screen Savers, like all the rest of my Screen Savers. It only opens as an App file. but does not install as a .saver file, in the Screen Saver area. I cannot choose it, like I can choose all my other Screen Savers. Only by leaving it on my Desktop. HELP Please. ### 5/5 — Beautiful graphics … *2022-08-26, version 1.0.3* and love the background music options. So relaxing to play. ### 4/5 — Great game but a few suggestions *2022-07-16, version 1.0.3* It would be really cool if there were more tail types (crown, plakat, veil, double) and it would also pretty cool to have females as well, particularly if you could breed them, similar to Fish Farm. Other than that great game ### 4/5 — Review/suggestions *2022-06-30, version 1.0.3* Add more tail types! Add female bettas! Add feeding! Add night cycle/light! Add flaring or tap to interact! Otherwise, its a good start! Expanding- I would love to see some options for decorations, different backgrounds, or even small fish like tetras or danios to be added too! Snails, shrimp, etc. For sure, more tail types. Add double tails, dumbos, crowntails, plakats! Even female bettas! Feeding would be a fantastic addition and a night option could be cool! I would say for sure it would be worth the money then! ### 5/5 — Cool *2022-04-11* Fun and relaxing but I thought there was a widget available to have the fish on my Home Screen!!! Please make this available as a widget. ### 4/5 — Betta fish *2022-03-27, version 1.0.1* I like it ### 4/5 — 不错子 *2022-03-25, version 1.0* 看着感觉比较舒服，解压 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — The mobile becomes very hot *2023-07-10, version 1.0.3* Turning the mobile into a coffee maker ### 1/5 — Won’t run *2022-08-22, version 1.0.3* Says Loading for about 15 seconds and then quits. Too bad because looks nice in the store. ### 1/5 — Paid for no sound *2022-01-28, version 1.0.1* No music ### 2/5 — Really? — can’t find a way to hide the two icon-buttons and… *2022-08-23, version 1.0.3* …it really destroys the illusion of a relaxing zen-style aquarium when the settings and camera button are stuck near the middle of the screen. I wonder what kept the Developer(s) from allowing the option to obscure the buttons, especially for a meditation-inviting scene — go figure. I’m using an iPad Pro 10.5” running iOS 15.4. ### 2/5 — Only 1 aquarium background? *2022-03-26, version 1.0.1* It says tap to load other aquariums. Nothing comes up😕 ### 2/5 — Meh *2022-01-24, version 1.0.1* So I was going to give the aquarium design kudo’s till I saw a fish frozen in time. They’re just screenshots of actual aquariums thar fish move in front of. As for the fish - weird colours for sure and the bêtas sont glisten as they do in real life. Lastly 2+ betas in the same tank = 1+ dead fish. These fish were raised to fight and will be very agressive with another male. So not realistic on several fronts… ### 2/5 — Worked for 2 minutes then crashed my iPad *2021-10-02, version 1.0.1* Disappointed- looked good when it worked, but this was only for a few minutes before it crashed my iPad... not enough fish to make me want to persevere with this app. Deleted. ### 3/5 — Nice, but limited. *2022-12-24, version 1.0* A simple yet beautifully designed little app. The fish are stunningly lifelike and the music, while limited, fits the mood perfectly. I do find myself distracted by the lower resolution backgrounds. I wish they were as crisp as the fish themselves. I'd also like to see more of them, including "living" backgrounds. More fish to choose from would, of course, be nice as well. I think that'll be the thing that turns people off from this (if anything). It simply needs more. My biggest gripe, though, is locking the best looking fish behind Facebook integration. That loses you two stars. A nice, albeit limited app overall, however. Good job. ### 3/5 — Beautiful imagery *2022-08-23, version 1.0.3* Beautiful imagery, however, I am only getting sound through headset. Not getting sound any sounds from iPhone speaker. ### 3/5 — دعم apple tv *2022-05-15, version 1.0.3* كنت اتمنى لو انه يمكنني عمل التطبيق على Apple TV ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best virtual fish app! *2025-11-20, version 1.0.3* Honestly still the best virtual fish you can get on the App Store. It’s been 3 years since an update and I hope this hasn’t been abandoned! ### 5/5 — Apple Vision Pro - Pretty Please *2025-02-13, version 1.0.3* AVP Native version would be amazing - pretty please ### 5/5 — BETA FISH VIRTUAL AQUARIUM *2025-01-23, version 1.0.3* Absolute beautiful aquarium of the beautiful Beta Fish So relaxing and enjoyable to watch your little pet fish swimming around in your phone what more could you ask in this brilliant app simply amazing Bravo sincerely Captain Richard ### 5/5 — so relaxing *2023-12-22, version 1.0* Love this app. Very customizable ### 5/5 — Betta fish *2023-11-05, version 1.0.3* This is awesome I love it there so beautiful! I wouldn’t mind adding my bettas to the game cool ### 5/5 — Awesome cat entertainment *2023-09-21, version 1.0* love it ### 5/5 — It makes me think I have real fishes in my house!! *2023-09-15, version 1.0.3* I liked it cause it makes me fell like I have my own fishes ### 5/5 — Great app *2023-07-14, version 1.0.3* Fish looks great ### 5/5 — 😌 *2023-07-12, version 1.0.3* So beautiful and relaxing, great for anxiety ### 5/5 — 🍎⌚️Future…?? *2023-07-10, version 1.0.3* This app is FABulous! It Never gets old! Yet, could you see fit to Squeeze it on the 🍎⌚️, Please? Not all of us are in a position to pull out our devices, ALL the time. It could truly make a difference!
