User reviews

great app

found on reddit, love the simplicity of this app, and it doesnt seem to bug or freeze often like other widget apps. wish there were more free fishes / decor props in general, but overall such a cute nifty widget to have on a homescreen.

Response from developer

Thank you so much for the app. I'm so glad that you found it through my posts on Reddit, and that you like it! You're defenitely right, I'm working on adding a bunch more fish, and especially more props. I'm just trying to make sure that every new fish/prop I add fits with the aesthetic of everything else already there, and the app as a whole, which takes a little while. But I'm working on loads, and will hopefully release some more in updates coming soon! If you have requests for specific fish or props you'd like to have added, you can email me at any time, and I'll be sure to add them! Thanks again for the review!

Fun!

A very cute app for anyone who likes aquariums. I haven't tested the Apple Watch feature yet but I have high hopes

Love this cute app

This app is adorable! The widget is great on the iPhone Duo! Can’t wait to see what other fun things you add later on. Keep up the awesome work!

Response from developer

Thank you so much for the review! I'm so glad that you've been enjoying the app, and I'm especially glad to hear that someone has been enjoying it on the Duo. I tried to ensure support for the Duo on the emulator immediately when it became available, and I'll keep making sure the app works great on all devices! Hopefully my physical device will arrive soon to test on as well ;)

8/10

Feedback: (1) You can now feed the fish but only by opening the widget every time (2) animals you want stationary, don’t. Like I want the turtle to sit on a rock but still have fish moving around (3) the standby widget should look identical to the Home Screen widget. As of now, it’s just fish swimming in place in a black area

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback! I'll try to address all of it! (1) I want this so badly as well, and it's a brilliant idea! The feeding animation is incredibly complex, and the exploit I use to allow for animations on the widgets themselves is frustratingly limiting, so I'm not sure if the same animation can be brought over to the same quality. But I'll try my best and continue looking into it! (2) We recently introduced a stationary animal, which is the starfish! He moves very, very slowly but will cling to the bottom of the tank or props and mostly sit there. I'll bring this to the turtle as well! Maybe the turtle specifically has been swimming around too much, which looks nice and active, but you're correct, it's not very realistic! (3) I made the background of the tanks turn dark on standby mode because of feedback from users that it was too bright on their nightstands. But maybe I can have this be a setting that users can toggle themselves! Because I do love the background on my tank, and I use standby a lot on my desk while working as well, where you might want to actually see the background! Thank you again for all of your feedback! I'll try my best to address all of them in updates soon. If you have anything else more specific, feel free to email me anytime, and I'll personally also reply to you!
