### 3/5 — Great game - needs minor bug fixes

*2025-10-16*

I work at a job where I don’t have my phone but will have my Apple Watch. I use this game as a great way to pass the time. It’s easy and fun. It needs some minor bug fixes. It’s not optimized for the latest Apple watches, and as another review stated there is a bug with the frenzy jellyfish and the zoom jellyfish that needs to be addressed. I’d also like for the game to be a little bit more polished, because as your fish grows larger, yellow jellyfish don’t appear meaning your fish grows larger than the size of the screen. It’s nearly impossible to score more than 1500 points. Other than some polishing needs this game is a fun time killer.

### 3/5 — Super zum Zeitvertreib aber

*2025-08-29*

Einziger Kritikpunkt ist, dass wenn der eigene Fisch wächst und die anderen eben auch müsste die Ansicht raus zoomen damit man vernünftig weiter spielen kann. 
Ab 1000er Größe sieht man praktisch nix mehr. Somit ist das Ausweichen unmöglich bzw. man kann die Größe der andren Fische nicht mehr sehen. 

Wenn das geändert wird gibts 5 Sterne ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2025-08-02*

Cool how it works in the Ultra Watch.

### 2/5 — Please add more zoom jellies

*2025-06-19*

Fun game but on my watch the fish gets too big for the screen and I can never find another zoom jellyfish to keep playing. so I end up touching something out of view and dying. Also PLEASE add a pause function.

### 4/5 — Gute Ablenkung :)

*2024-02-11*

Das Spiel ist gute Ablenkung bei Langeweile.

Würde gerne die Farbe von meinem Fisch ändern können.

### 5/5 — Good

*2024-01-06*

Overall pretty boring on any other device but it’s Great on the Apple Watch! 🐟

### 3/5 — Fun but…

*2023-04-10*

Around 2500 to 3000 points the game frequently glitches and all the fish disappear except mine. iPhone 14 Pro, 16.3.1

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2020-09-23*

Haven’t played but love fish

### 5/5 — love it

*2020-09-23*

SO FUN I LOVE IT (when i had my watch lol i lost it in a lake)

### 1/5 — Very hard to use

*2020-07-22*

Don’t love it. Was looking for an easy game for my child to play on the watch. It’s very antiquated and you use the dial to move the fish. Don’t recommend it.
