One bug I’ve encountered is that I can’t change the tank background color like I used to be able to in the screensaver making it a sold black background. When I tap on the background color square in settings, it just unchecks then scene. ### 2/5 — Исчез заук *2021-05-10, version 3.1.1* IOS 14.5.1. После оюновлний звук пропал вообще. ### 4/5 — Note on the coral *2018-12-09, version 2.6.2* Very nice, very realistic aquarium, but did the artist not know or forget that coral itself is a living, moving animal? In this app it looks like it is plastic or just dead plant matter, like you might purchase a pet store. ### 4/5 — Update needed *2018-07-28, version 2.6.2* Are you ever going to update for apple ipad. I love the app so does my cat :D ### 4/5 — 熱帯魚 *2018-07-14, version 2.6.2* 色々海外に行ってるが、そんなかんじ。 夜見ると👀 本物と同じです！ ### 2/5 — I love this, but... *2018-02-12, version 2.6.2* This needs to work on iOS 11+ for the iPhone/iPad... So frustrating. It’s on the MacBook, the laptop, but not my mobile devices :( ### 3/5 — iOS 11 was too much? *2017-12-03, version 2.6.2* You should contact Apple for help on how you can compile your app as a 64-bit app for iOS 11. Users are not going to understand why this no longer comes up in iOS 11. ### 3/5 — 6年前なので *2017-10-02, version 2.6.2* 流石にアップデートは来ないですよね⋯ 良いアプリでしたがiOSをアップデートしたので、残念ですが止むを得ず削除しました。 ### 5/5 — Bueno, actualizado Excelente *2017-09-24, version 2.6.2* Deben actualizarlo para IOS 11 vale mucho la pena. Urge. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2016-02-24, version 2.6.2* Beautiful app with nice graphics. Please update the app so it fits the larger screens. I have an iPhone 6S Plus. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Nic ciekawego *2025-06-17, version 3.1.1* Kupiłem i żałuję, myślałem że jest to tapeta a okazało się to zwykłym szajsem ### 1/5 — Elgallego74$ *2025-01-23, version 3.1.1* Nunca supe cómo usar esto en el móvil ### 1/5 — Poor imitation of Version 3.2 and its Windows PC Version *2024-03-14, version 3.1.1* It doesn’t function as a screen saver at all, and the picture does not fill the screen entirely plus there are virtually no ancillary control adjustments. Version 3.2 (which apparentlu is NOT available in the Apple Store) has run perfectly well on my iMac 27” for years as a real screen saver. Unfortunately I see that if one attempts to load it on the latest iMac 24”, it is loaded into the screensaver control space, but sadly it will not run and the iMac warns you that it’s because “the developer can’t be verified” suggesting it’s possibly malware. ### 1/5 — Hurry up and avoid *2022-06-06, version 3.1.1* I’m a firm believer that an app should get better with time, this one misses that mark! I have an old iPod touch 2nd generation (if memory serves correctly) and I purchased version 2.6.2 for it. The screens on iPods and iPhones have increased in dpi by leaps and bounds since then. That being said why does this most current version appear blurry? The high def aspects aside I noticed that some of the fish are not interacting with tank pieces as if they were solid. One fish in particular is able to swim through the shell!! That doesn’t happen in the old version. Now, in this offering I noticed that the foreground and background lights have been removed and you get day or night. The previous version the fish were better viewed with a slightly darker background. There’s no rock wall, no crumpled foil just a blurry light blue boring to look at wall. Now let’s talk some more about glitches. While trying to lower the bubble column volume it went out all together. It wasn’t until I closed the app and restarted that it came back on. Also the night version is a miserably darkened screen that if you left it on at night would barely shed any light in the room and fish appear mostly in shadow. This app needs to return to some previous options, repair glitches and get on board with the 4k resolution we’ve all grown to love. Until then the $2 charge for the app is a waste of money. I’m deleting it from my phone and will continue to use the sharper resolution version with the functionality and glitch free performance I love. C’mon guys…… get with the program and stop ripping people off with this bastardized version. That’s my 2 cents. ### 1/5 — iPad Pro *2019-04-20, version 2.6.2* Doesn’t work on iPad Pro and the developers will not answer. DON’T BUY!!! UPDATE: - 20/04/2019 still not working on iOS 12 DO NOT BUY!! The developers totally ignore you and Apple dint want to refund. Why is this still on the App Store!? ### 1/5 — Atualizar *2018-07-05, version 2.6.2* Paguei pelo app. Ele já deveria ter sido atualizado Porque não foi ainda? Ou atualiza ou devolve meu dinheiro. ### 1/5 — Not working *2018-03-25, version 2.6.2* Please update for iOS 11. ### 1/5 — Mise à jour 2017 iPhone 7 *2018-02-16, version 2.6.2* Bonjour, très bonne application mais toujours pas de mise à jours pour les nouvelles générations d'IPhone ...??? Message de ralentissement à l'ouverture de l'application sur IPhone 7 À quand une mise à jours ???? C’est pas sérieux !!!!!! :-( ### 1/5 — Does not work on IOS 11 *2018-02-12, version 2.6.2* This app does not works on IOS 11, just bought it....it is a fraud!!! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2017-11-02, version 2.6.2* Not compatible with iOS 11? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Vite une application Apple TV *2025-02-06, version 3.1.1* Certainement le plus beau depuis plus de 20 ans !! Vite faites nous une application pour Apple TV !! ### 5/5 — Most Realistic Digital Aquarium Money Can Buy *2025-02-01, version 3.1.1* First and foremost, this is a screensaver. Originally created for PCs by artist Jim Sachs sometime in the 90’s, there were other aquariums but none that truly looked, well, real. I own every version of this which he’s made available and it never disappoints. Do you actually need a screensaver in the modern world? Probably not. Do you want to turn a display into an aquarium? I think that’s the appropriate question to ask yourself. I don’t always, but when I do, this is it. ### 5/5 — Well worth it *2025-01-24, version 3.1.1* Love to run this on my iPad Pro. Looks great! ### 5/5 — La mejor aplicación de acuario *2024-07-01, version 3.1.1* Para relajarte y disfrutar de la aplicación de escritorio ahora en el iPad. Gráficos muy cuidados con mucha variedad de peces para elegir. ### 5/5 — Love It *2022-07-06, version 3.1.1* Been using this on my iPad and MacBook for many many years and still love it. My iPadOS is running 15.5 and my MacBook Air is running Monterey and it works with no problems. Thank you. ### 5/5 — Glad it’s back *2022-03-20, version 3.1.1* Back IOS. People would pay for new fish and backgrounds. Always slogo on the development of this one. It still holds up after years and years. ### 5/5 — Great app *2021-05-12, version 3.1.1* Very beautiful aquarium app ### 5/5 — ついに64bit対応 *2021-04-16, version 3.3* しました。 タイトルはver 2.6ですが、Mac版と同じくver 3.3になりました。 いやーお待ちしておりましたよ。iOSが64bitアプリonlyになって久しいですが、もう開発されないのかと諦めていたところでした。 自分的にアクアリウム系のアプリはこれ一択だったので穏当に嬉しいです。 ### 5/5 — Have used for years.... but *2018-01-02, version 2.6.2* It’s now not compatible with the latest Apple update, so not working. I use it a lot at work but can’t anymore. Shame, I love this app. ### 5/5 — Beutifull app *2017-10-19, version 2.6.2* Please update to IOS 11. This is a beateful app. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
