Apart from that it is amazing!!!!!!!! 😃 ### 4/5 — Childhood game (pls read 🙂) *2025-12-31, version 4.3* So I had this game on my grandmas iPad as a kid and I loved it so much, so I got it again years later and it’s just like I remember it! The graphics are great, and overall it’s really nostalgic and fun. I do want to say that when there’s a pop up saying “watch ads for pearls” I click OK and it disappears and I can’t watch the ad. It’s kind of annoying and I’d like that fixed. It’s also really easy to misclick and buy something you didn’t mean to, maybe add a confirm purchase pop up. And my brother has this game too and he visited my lagoon since were friends and I never got the 3 pearls it said I would get from one friend vistiting my lagoon. It’s really difficult to get pearls without spending money. I would also like some more bundles or packs because I’ve heard of things like the holiday pack but have never seen one be available in game. But yeah other than that this game is really fun and I would def recommend if you want something peaceful and beautiful to play! Also, for context with how fast you get pearls, I’m almost level 12 with 8 pearls🐚 ### 4/5 — One thing… *2025-09-16, version 4.3* I don’t have any idea what is happening with this game I just want to get pearls but it’s not letting me ### 4/5 — I love this game but here is what I don’t like about this game *2023-06-29, version 4.3* I love this game but there is to many adds and the pearls are hard to get and some people do not have the money to buy pearls and we need pearls but I love everything else and it is a fun game. ### 2/5 — Terrible now… *2023-03-20, version 4.3* This game used to work but whenever I try to make a purchase, the stupid thing crashes! DO NOT GET THEY ONLY WANT YOUR MONEY AND THIS APP IS A SCAM PLAY ORCA PARADISE INSTEAD ### 4/5 — Dolphin Paradise please read … *2022-10-05, version 4.3* I honestly love This game but I do have a few things I would like to suggest. I love how you can have more than one dolphin to take care of but you can only get four types of dolphins and I think you should have a few more species of dolphin in this game maybe you should add a Spinner dolphin or a Boto ( river dolphin) .Also this game has adds . And there are a lot of adds and the thing about the adds is that when you are watching them it’s the same one over and over and over again! The reason I gave Dolphin paradise 4 stars was because of the adds and that they only have 4 species of dolphin . Please consider adding more dolphin species to the game . Thank you ! ### 3/5 — Good game *2022-02-26, version 4.3* I can’t feed my dolphin unless I buy it and I already did but it’s still a good game🍄 ### 2/5 — Won’t let me save my pictures *2022-01-15, version 4.3* I don’t get it. There’s this annoying glitch where I take a photo and hit the check mark button but it won’t save it to my camera roll! Ugh! This game is stupid. It used to work, I mean it worked on the orca app but you guys are slow and unresponsive and I’ve been waiting for u guys to fix this stupid glitch. Uninstall this piece of junk! ### 4/5 — I love it but... *2021-06-28, version 4.3* I love this game a lot but I wish that you could play as a dolphin 🐬 and it cost 1 Pearl 🐳🐳🐳🐳🐳🐳🐳🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐟🐟🐟🐟🐠🐠🐠🐠🐡🐡🐠🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢 ### 4/5 — It’s great *2021-06-20, version 4.3* I’m a dolphin lover. I myself want to say one bad thing about this game. The mermaids.. they are barely wearing anything.. so just saying please make them wear more or take them out. But I lover the cute little dolphins. ### 5/5 — LOVE THIS GAME AND IDEA *2021-04-14, version 4.3* CAn you guys make a tank for the habitat please and a open ocean for the habitat ### 4/5 — Love it but... *2021-04-14, version 4.3* I love the game but I was thinking maybe there could be an option to care for the dolphin like cleaning the lagoon for example I also think it would be soooo cool 😎 if you could enter them in dolphin competitions to put your skills to the test! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE take these suggestions into consideration! I really think it would improve the game! -a girl who loves animals ### 5/5 — This is a very good game highly recommend *2021-04-12, version 4.3* I like this game a lot I like how you can feed and pet and touch your orders and the dolphins good job on this game not gonna lie it was pretty perfect for me all right I’m not being sarcastic like for real I actually love this game I actually can’t stop playing. just wanted to let you guys now bye ### 5/5 — Yes *2021-03-17, version 4.3* Awesome game. Ideas for it, one, 3D fish please when feeding your dolphin 🐬 model problem, dolphins are about the length of a fully grown adult, their tails are also slightly wider and maybe make the tail 2 inches longer, the fins are sorta weird because the top fin should be a little bit more into the middle of the dolphin and slightly bigger, the bottom fins are a bit quirky too, they should also be moved deeper into the middle, the orca model is fine though, also, there should be competitions for which dolphin has the most coolest trick pattern. And here’s an emoji spam because why not 🐬 🐬 🐬 🐬 🐬 🐬 🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟 🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟 🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟 🐟🐟🐟🐟 🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠 🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠 ### 4/5 — It pretty ok *2020-12-28, version 4.3* There are ups and downs to this game. I love 💕 that you can take pictures and get more animals than just dolphins. I also like that you can give the dolphins hand commands. Next I love that you can change the scenery. Finally I like that you can decorate the island. What I don’t like is that you need shells and perls to get things and they are hard to get because you can only get them from the jellyfish and you have to wait a few hours for it to load them. some times the animals don’t listen to the hand commands. With the shells and perls you use them to get fish and animals so if it hard to get you can’t get a lot of things. ### 5/5 — Great Game *2020-10-26, version 4.3* Hi there, I love this game and my dolphins name is Sugar. H ### 5/5 — Love it just... *2020-10-20, version 4.3* I love this game just make it so you can do more things plz ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Dolphins *2025-12-31, version 4.3* Just downloaded the it’s good but it doesn’t work when I bye pearls or money it’s sucks it needs updates to not happy Jan Emma ### 1/5 — Не понимаю!!!!! *2024-01-14, version 4.3* Игра очень 😑 скучная 😑 И смысла играть не понимаю 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎 ### 1/5 — Is this a simulator? *2020-08-06, version 4.3* . Wow ### 1/5 — Terrible graphics! *2020-06-13, version 4.3* i know what a dolphin looks like and you have RUINED bottlenose dolphins in that game they have no bottlenose its just TERRIBLE ### 1/5 — I LOVE THIS GAME WITH ALL MY HEART ❤️but... *2020-04-06, version 4.3* This is the absolute best game ever! It’s easy to play, fun, and a little educational! I love that you can have different options of dolphins, and that you can teach them tricks and feed them. I also love the “Raise Money” and “Dolphin Care” tabs, it makes it much easier to gain shells, and happiness for your dolphin. I do have a few suggestions though, and 1 problem. Let’s just start off with my issue. I find it very hard to get pearls. I understand that they are more valuable and should be harder to earn, but maybe you made it a little too hard to get them. Some of us don’t have money to make in-app purchases for the pearls. Also the “Watch to get pearls” button, when I press it, I don’t get to watch the video and earn pearls! We need pearls! I can’t be the only one with that problem! Please fix this. Now I have a few suggestions. First off, I think all those tricks we are teaching our dolphins should go to a great use! Dolphin show! I think this should definitely be in game! Next, I think we should be able to have injured dolphins be sent in the pool with your permanently owned dolphins, and then you can heal them, and let them recover in your lagoon, then set them free. I think that would be a fun addition to the game! Thanks for reading my suggestions, and please fix my pearl problem! Once again I LOVE 💕 this game, so there’s no hate. 💜 ### 1/5 — Dolphins 🐬 sea *2019-10-02, version 4.3* I hate this game ℹ used to the game not anymore beacause it’s used all my data and my personal information ℹ️ nat ### 1/5 — 💩💩💩 *2018-12-31, version 4.2.6* This is just a big pile of 💩 i hate hate hate HATE it!

(Suggestions and glitch report) *2023-03-10, version 4.3* I love this game a lot! Dolphins are probably my favorite ocean animal (if axolotl dosent count, then it would be second)! I love how you can research dolphins, play with them, and overall take care of them! I feel like I’m helping save dolphins with my little dolphin lagoon sanctuary. I would like an alliance/club feature where other people belong with one group. They can have like a alliance/club lagoon with all of their dolphins! I also want to see baby dolphins! I want you to be able to choose when they grow up though. Also I want you to be able to expand your lagoon sanctuary because it feels to small. I would also like underwater decorations and toys. I would also like more dolphin species! Also I have been experiencing a glitch where my dolphin (Click) will not to a fluke walk even though I taught it to her. This also happens with the preview dolphins as well. Could you mabye check in to see what is going on? Anyways, I love this game a lot and I would like to see these features added amd this (bug?) fixed. Tysm and have a great day/night! 🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬 ### 5/5 — Dolphin girl *2023-03-02, version 4.3* I love dolphins so much and I Al was wanted a pet dolphin 🫶🏽 Now I can take care of my very own dolphin 😊😁😍.
