Too bad there isn’t an option purchase no ads. ### 4/5 — Great game but.. *2025-11-05, version 1.37* It’s a great game overall. I’ve played before when I was younger and I decided to download it again on my new phone that I got and it’s just like last time a great time, though the ads are a bit much but I’ve tried to find the lost city of Atlantis and it just hasn’t spawned in the area where it’s so supposed to spawn in and yes, I’m in the correct position. It’s at Africa. I’m not in America. I’m not sure of it. ### 2/5 — The game is relaxing, the CONSTANT ADS are not. *2025-11-04, version 1.37* Title. ### 2/5 — Shutting Down *2025-10-12, version 1.37* I won’t play this game, ever again! ### 5/5 — Great game *2025-06-09, version 1.37* What happend to your brother at the beginning it says in remembrance of your brother ### 4/5 — Very relaxing *2025-06-06, version 1.37* 4 stars no ads! And it doesn’t have any cash grabs ### 1/5 — Unplayable from ADS *2025-04-17, version 1.37* I want to love this game. With less ads, I would love this game. I’d gladly pay to remove ads on this game. In its current state, it’s unplayable because the ads pop up SO frequently ### 1/5 — Strange glitch *2025-02-27, version 1.37* Help there is a game with my ads! 1 min of gameplay, 2 mins of ads. ### 5/5 — It’s amazing *2025-02-23, version 1.37* I love sharks more than anything, they are my favorite animal. This game is fun to play, and the colors are very pleasing to me. 10/10, would recommend. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Would your brother be fond of all the ads? *2026-08-04, version 1.38* I don’t think so. ### 1/5 — Unplayable due to ad breaks *2026-07-23, version 1.38* This game, if titled by time spent, should be called “ads TV.” It is awful. I usually am happy to pay for games to avoid ads. 5his doesn’t appear to have that option, or the store isn’t available yet. But after every quest there is an add. “Gather 5 of this type of fish,” which may not even take two minutes, and you get an ad break. None of the quests — I have only completed 3 or 4 — there is an add. The ads are nearly longer than the quests. ### 1/5 — 5 ads in first 5 minutes of gameplay *2026-05-15, version 1.38* Its not a game. You spend more time in ads than swimming around. ### 1/5 — Promised sharks and got temu ads instead *2026-02-04, version 1.38* The game itself is exactly what it says on the tin. Hunt fish as a shark. Grow and get better at hunting. Sadly I spent more time dealing with ads than being a shark. Maybe once a noble tribute now nothing more than a commercial broken up by shark gameplay. ### 1/5 — No? *2026-01-21, version 1.38* The game says, tripple your reward by watching an add. I click no. Immediately I get an add! Like 30 seconds after downloading the game. Dont do that to people! Show the add later or something! ### 1/5 — What a waste *2026-01-07, version 1.38* Another amazing game ruined by ads….you think we’d be over this plague but here we are 2026 and not even an option to pay to remove them. Oh well, deleted from phone. ### 1/5 — Negative stars *2025-07-29, version 1.37* If i could rate a game negative stars i would. This game would be the most perfect relaxing game ever for me but having an add after every single mission is just outrageous. There is NO way of getting rid of the adds there isn’t even an option to pay to get rid of them!!!! How dare you release a game supposedly in memory of your brother just to end up being a heartless soulless cash grab. I would have paid anything to get rid of the adds just to play this relaxing game but now i am just outraged and disgusted. ### 1/5 — nice game. but very annoying *2025-06-26, version 1.37* remove adds. they are annoying. not even able to pay for no adds version…. ### 1/5 — рекламная помойка хз *2025-05-19, version 1.37* йух ### 1/5 — Why. *2025-04-30, version 1.37* This game is AMAZING but the ads are unbearable for a game of this quality ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-05-10, version 1.38* My heart broke when I read “in memory of my brother”, because I just unlocked the shark for traveling and it has a baby shark following it. I’m sorry for your loss Godbless you. ### 5/5 — sharkyyy!!! X3 *2026-02-16, version 1.38* i love the silly!!! :D ### 5/5 — Relaxing *2026-02-08, version 1.38* Very fun and relaxing great for plane and car rides ### 5/5 — One of my favorite games ever!! *2026-01-19, version 1.38* I played this game a while back. I loved it then and I still love it now! The relaxing gameplay was something I missed dearly and I’m glad I returned. Ads have been a little frustrating and if there were an option to pay ad free I’d have no issue spending on it! Lovely game overall and I let my friends play when they are bored. ### 5/5 — Question? *2026-01-18, version 1.38* Is there anyway I can spend money to remove ads? ### 5/5 — Too many forced adverts *2025-12-06, version 1.37* At every level up ### 5/5 — 🦈🦈🦈 *2025-10-15, version 1.37* Just an overall fun game to play if you like sharks ### 5/5 — Great car ride game *2025-10-07, version 1.37* Overall, "Shoal" is not just about catching fish; it's an adventure that lets you embrace the life of a shark in a beautifully crafted underwater world. So, if you're ready to dive in and unleash your inner predator, this game is totally worth a try! 🦈 ### 5/5 — Very relaxing!! *2025-08-27, version 1.37* I love this game, from the music to the style. It’s great all around especially for a Moblie game- the skins are great, my personal favorite is the seal with its little buddy. The only problem I have is that after day 100 you get the same mission over and over again but that doesn’t stop much ### 5/5 — 良いんだけど、、、 *2025-06-29, version 1.37* アプリ自体はいいけど、広告が多いかもしれません --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
