### 4/5 — MyReef3D

*2023-07-26*

Great app, use it during Lyft rides to keep things relaxed and mellow! Only issue is I can either have up to two of one fish or a tankful of random fish; why can’t there be more fish to add/subtract?

### 3/5 — 期待ハズレでした

*2023-07-23*

もっとリアルかと思いました。

### 4/5 — Nearly Perfect

*2021-11-21*

I have three Aquarium programs. They are all made by the same company. Each one of them has options the others do not. Different fish, backgrounds etc. What I don’t understand is why they don’t combine them into one app and give a wider selection to everyone. One allows you to use your own image for the background, another has interesting plant life. One allows you to have up to 26 fish in the tank.  How wonderful it would be if were all in the same app.  My hope is that one day they will all hit the spot dead on.  I’d still like to see more plant varieties, living corals, more fish, more background options and more ways to arrange them.  It’s still a wonderful app but it’s not perfect yet.

### 4/5 — so far so good

*2021-02-20*

I have only installed this for a day so I cannot vouch for its performance at this time, but with that said, I love the aquarium, and the ability to change it up. It is as close as I will ever again try to come to a saltwater aquarium, due to the headache and stress of actually owning and maintaining a real one. Very pleased so far!

### 3/5 — Needs update for 11 inch iPad Pro screen.

*2019-08-26, version 1.2*

Does not fill the screen.  I don’t see where in the App Store info this is revealed.  I feel ripped off.  Also upon starting this, it tells me a new version is available in the App Store, but I would have to buy it!  Why is this old version in the App Store too?  Apple needs to police these apps and developers to prevent this behavior.  The app itself is quite good.

### 5/5 — Beauty and Sound

*2019-03-01*

I love this for the most realistic I’ve seen in this type of App or screensaver. Also, the sound is great when there’s too much noise for sleeping or doing my paperwork at home.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2018-06-12, version 1.2*

My granddaughter wants a fish.... she will love this APP until she gets a real Nemo fish!

### 5/5 — Genauso gut wie Vorgänger

*2018-01-09*

Hatte schon die Vorgänger App. Mach gute Laune. :)

### 5/5 — Very nice

*2017-12-28, version 1.2*

beautiful and very good for relaxing 😎

### 5/5 — 💜 this

*2017-11-30*

Thanks for a great app. 🐠 maybe more tanks and/or decorations in next update.

### 5/5 — Real and Beautiful

*2017-11-12, version 1.2*

Excellent app. Real as it gets.

### 5/5 — The Best Aquarium for IPad.

*2017-09-21*

I've tried them all and even though this one is kind of CGI it is still the best one around. Pick the fish, Pick the tank, Pick the sand, Pick the decor, Pick the camera motion view and pick the action. 
This  aquarium generates the closest feel to owning your own tank and the calming effect of watching your own tank.
I've owned a number of actual tanks and this one is the best virtual tank I've seen.
Pure genius.

### 5/5 — Very peaceful

*2017-08-13, version 1.1.0*

I drink my coffee and watch.  Love that I can select my own background.

### 5/5 — The best out there

*2017-07-21, version 1.1.0*

Top App

### 5/5 — Great

*2017-07-16, version 1.1.0*

Fun and easier than a saltwater tank.

### 5/5 — Fun

*2017-06-02, version 1.1.0*

Fun app - great way to unwind. As a former marine aquarium owner, I enjoy the realistic details.

### 4/5 — Great app

*2017-05-16, version 1.1.0*

This app would be a 5 if it had a bigger variety of fish and plant.   But great other than that. Great relaxer.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — $?$

*2017-07-30, version 1.1.0*

Bought this last week now 4 days later they want another 3.99 for the update... no way

### 1/5 — Wasted my money

*2017-03-07, version 1.1.0*

People saying just was a great app. When I downloaded I activate the program and it shut down. Not right when the program not working and they take your money.

### 1/5 — Not very satisfied

*2016-10-24*

I spent $2.99 on this app honking that it would have just about every fish I could think of, but it doesn't have some of the best known fish. It doesn't have a puffer fish, that I'm sure just about everyone knows about. I think this game needs to get many more fish added because all I wanted to do was make a tank like the one on finding Nemo, but there are many fish missing.

### 1/5 — Total waste of $$ - Forget mirroring

*2016-02-28, version 1.1.0*

Doesn't work with external displays.

### 1/5 — Lame

*2015-11-26, version 1.1.0*

This is weak.  I would not purchase again.  Hardly any 3D effect.  Poor user interface.

### 1/5 — Pay version to limited

*2014-03-30*

I was hoping the pay version would be expanding the range, sizes, behaviour , but no. 
Old PC version was better. Needs more adjustment on the character fish and coral species to be of value. Boring otherwise.

### 1/5 — 👎

*2013-04-03*

Gadget!!

### 2/5 — Feel Cheated

*2020-11-30*

First let me say the program is great, however I bought version 2 and when I opened it for the first time it told me to upgrade to version 3 for another $2.99. The $3 is not the issue but why is version 2 still selling in the App Store? Whenever I have bought an app before, I always got the latest version and then got the updates. Granted I do not buy hardly any apps but still.

Go back to the store and find version 3..

### 2/5 — Can’t customize fish

*2020-11-13, version 1.2*

I can scroll through fish but the add and subtract buttons don’t work

### 2/5 — Waste Of Money

*2016-07-09*

When I purchased this garbage, it was an early investment hoping they would update with new fish, new fish behavior, better underwater views. This remains as it once was when I purchased it long time ago. I have screensaver from 13 years ago for Windows that look better. Those the fish runaway, fight, and all. Now they created a version 3 with different arrangements but still garbage.

### 5/5 — Nice visuals

*2026-03-10*

Hasn’t been updated in years, but I’m not sure what, if anything is missing.  I enjoy looking at the fish, reminds me of my old aquarium.

### 5/5 — My Reef 3D

*2024-09-26, version 1.2*

Beautiful and calming! Love it! 🐠❤️😍

### 5/5 — BEAUTIFUL

*2022-10-28*

I've enjoyed this app for years and am still in awe of how real and beautiful it is. Can't imagine a lovelier aquarium. The fish and features are so realistic that it is like a big aquarium, but without all the work.

### 5/5 — An Excellent App

*2022-09-08*

I think this is a really nice aquarium app!
There is a moving star-fish and a moving crab as well, excellent! I’m loving that crab. 

The author should make it clear these little guys are in there and that you can create your own tanks as well. It’s features are not advertised clearly I think.

On the down side, the bubble sounds are on a very short loop like 8 seconds? and is annoying because of the repetition. Please replace the bubble sounds with a loop about 1 minute long at least. 

Would also like to put in more crabs and gave them climb around and graze or have other behaviours. The first one was just going side to side, it was stuck against the glass I think. Would be good to have other little critters with behaviours that amount to something over time, worms, anemones don’t.

Excellent work 😀

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2021-02-15*

Probably the best app I’ve ever used. Great for relaxation. I love that its not like a game where you have to feed them,but you can or just choose to enjoy watching the fish and listening to the bubbles. Love it

### 5/5 — LabJudge

*2021-01-21*

My fourth review. After all these years it is still my most enjoyable app.  I just love it. Have to admit I haven’t been on it for a while but got on there today and thoroughly enjoyed.  Didn’t see anything new but maybe I’ll discover something later.  However the old saying of “If it ain’t broke , don’t fix it: so please dont go messing around with it and ruin it. The only thing I might suggest would be to see if there are any new fish to add. I also have My Lake which could use an elephant nose fish or one of those ghost fish or how about a dog face puffer. Those are cool.  The large yellow snails I’ve seen in some aquariums are pretty and fascinating with their long antennae. I would pay fir new fish as long as it wasn’t too expensive. I would and do recommend this app to people all the time.

### 5/5 — Love!

*2020-08-17*

Love this realistic fish and aquariums! Wish it had more decoration items and some fresh water fish too! Goldfish, Molly, Betta, and maybe some seahorses, since I would love to have a real one but upkeep is a lot, this app helps me feel calm while I work. Would love more interaction too! Feeding, naming etc.

### 5/5 — Can this get any better 🐠?

*2020-07-05*

This is an awesome game! First, the fish are so realistic it’s mind boggling. Second, you get 5 tanks. Third,the fun never ends.

### 5/5 — My coral reef 3D aquarium

*2019-06-09*

### 5/5 — Very relaxing

*2019-04-13, version 1.2*

I used to keep real aquariums when I lived in Los Angeles but lost them in quake.

I had forgotten how much I missed watching the fish swim back and forth.
