### 5/5 — My favorite app

*2026-03-24, version 1.4.4*

This is my favorite app I’ve ever had. I have severe anxiety and playing with my ponds helps. Reviews say you have to spend money and that’s not true. If you slowly play everyday, you eventually breed rare fish. Then you can sell them. Keep breeding the same rare fish everyday and you get more money than you know what to do with, which lets you buy anything for your pond that you want. It just takes a few weeks of playing everyday. Speed up the process by paying but it’s not necessary. The friends functionality doesn’t work anymore and that’s sad. They don’t update the app anymore. But there are enough options and it’s so relaxing to watch the fish that it’s worth it.

### 5/5 — I love it

*2025-10-28, version 1.4.4*

I never write reviews or ever written one but I love this so much! So relaxing and enjoyable

### 3/5 — I loved it for a while…but the fish die too easily.

*2025-08-16, version 1.4.4*

I was level 20 and had all the exotic fish but if you don’t play every three or four days, your fish will die. I just don’t have the time. I wanted to come back and visit for fun but it just got to be stressful. 
And koi ponds shouldn’t he stressful. There are no consistent amount days or times for when your fish will become overwhelmed with algae. Sometimes it’s two days sometimes six or seven days and I keep buying more expensive filters or paying for my fish to be revived.  I just lost my entire batch of fish over five ponds FOR A SECOND TIME so im done

### 5/5 — amazing

*2025-04-27, version 1.4.4*

### 1/5 — For YEARS!!!

*2025-03-28, version 1.4.4*

I’ve tried getting you guys to update the app. I love it. It’s practically obsolete which makes me sad bc I really enjoyed it a lot. And I didn’t mind spending Mo eh on it so it would be a win/win but I don’t think this will happen.

I’m glad to see this is still in the App Store it is one of the things I remember quite intricately about my childhood. every once and a while I come back and download it just to relive the memories

### 5/5 — So peaceful

*2025-02-05, version 1.4.4*

I love this app.  I just sit there and play with the fish.  I also love that you costume and add the fish or turtles that you want.  It’s addicting and I have played it for years, I can’t believe it took me this long to write a review.  It’s cute and simple.  I recommend downloading.

### 3/5 — Facebook

*2024-10-20, version 1.4.4*

Please bring back the ability to connect facebook to the game

### 1/5 — No backups

*2024-10-01, version 1.4.4*
