Thank you for making the available to everyone , the one thing I wish it had was a bigger koi pond thanks for you time in readin . ### 3/5 — More for free please *2022-10-31* Great graphics, love the fish, turtles, and frogs especially. Would like an X to close and exit the app. Would also be great to have a different view. Like I was really sitting on a bench in the scene. ### 3/5 — 🤷‍♂️ *2022-08-09* i don’t know how to feed the fish or turtle what do i feed them with and i can’t even see the butterflies or sand properly let alone interact with them ### 4/5 — Fish don’t eat *2022-06-15* Fish don’t eat, only turtles and frogs, good job ### 4/5 — Less in app purchases *2021-05-25* Wish more was unlocked without having to pay other than that good game Beautiful graphics ### 4/5 — Not find the menu *2021-01-29* Not menu ### 4/5 — It good *2020-11-07* I mean this is a relaxing and stress less game but there really nothing to do. ### 2/5 — So boring *2019-12-08* This app is so boring. I thought there would be more to it. You’re just watching fish and turtles (who always escape the pond). Also, making waves and touching the grass wasn’t as satisfying as I thought. Also you don’t get to chose you’re background. I don’ like this app and if you want a relaxing zen app get a different one. ### 4/5 — Zen pond *2018-11-18* Hi, AMAZING APPLICATION EVER AND AM SO HAPPY AND PLAYING WITH THIS APP LONG TIME AND ONE SUGGESTION PLEASE ADD HUMMING BIRD AND SOME WILD WATER ANIMALS AS EARLIER. THANKS MOHAMMED ### 3/5 — No sound on SE *2017-12-13* Seems to be no setting for sound on/off. Am I not finding it? Best pond animation, but need sound :( ### 2/5 — Keeps crashing *2017-07-05* It's a good concept to custom make your own Koi pond, but the App won't save your pond and app keeps crashing. Some of the backgrounds won't work and the app needs sound. Why have a sleep timer when there is no sound. App needs updating. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bad *2023-09-29* The second I got In I hated it. That turtle is a sea turtle this game is very bad don’t download🤬😡🫣😭 ### 1/5 — get another app *2020-05-12* An app that is similar but more exciting is Pocket Pond try it and you will see. ### 1/5 — How bad *2020-01-26* This game is so so rubbish it doesn’t stop crashing ### 1/5 — upset *2019-04-22, version 1.0* i paid to be able to build my own pond, and nothing is happening, have done this at least 4 times. very upset. ### 1/5 — Angry people *2018-10-07* Won’t let you chose what background would not get again ### 1/5 — ALERT!! *2017-06-02* Do not spend any money with this company until they fix their apps.. ### 2/5 — Outdated! *2023-01-24* 2023 update: Firstly, it needs to be in landscape mode for iPad use! Can’t even access the buttons or whatever controls are available in landscape mode, plus it only takes up the middle-third of my iPad screen. Also, it needs updates in general for iOS 16. Had potential though. Previous review: Still working fine (don’t know when it was last updated). Graphics are sharp and crisp. Love running my finger across the pond, listening to the water rippling and other relaxing nature sounds. Using free version. Discovered more features upon touching certain items—birds flying, frogs chirping, etc. Will probably upgrade for ability to create my own pond. ### 2/5 — The background does not work *2022-05-23* Great idea but when you place the decorations around the pond they turn invisible? You can’t see them. The ground around the patio is not the same as on the photos either. ### 2/5 — Not so convenient *2020-12-19* You need to upgrade the app To make your own ponds. Why can you just earn some coins in the game and buy to customize your pond? ### 2/5 — Crashes on launch *2020-09-03, version 1.0* Ver 3.4, on iPad Air 2, iOS 13.6.1 Tnx. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — UPDATE VILLAGE PENGUIN *2024-11-22* IM begging you to update that app, it was my childhood and honestly it was so much better than other games similar to it, so please I’m begging you 😭💔 I promise I will share the game with other friends I just want to download it again, it doesn’t have to be soooo new I just want to see it and play it again ### 5/5 — Great but why aren't the fish eating the food? *2023-02-26* I tried feeding the fish but only the turtles and frogs are eating the food. Please fix this so we can feed the fish too. ### 5/5 — Zen Pond *2021-11-27* Relaxing. Enjoyable love the frogs the fish the dragonflies and all the various backgrounds Simplecontols. Easy to use family friendly ### 5/5 — Zen-like Experience, Some Suggestions *2021-03-30* Personally, I like this app. It’s the only app I have found that helps me unwind at night before bedtime. I like that there is nothing I have to do, that I can just be. That is what I think Zen is about. What I would love to see is a nighttime rendering with less commotion from the birds. They are very chipper it seems in the daytime. :) Having a more relaxed option will help prepare me more for sleep. ### 5/5 — I love this.. *2020-09-22* I’m 68 years young. I find this to be soothing, I like it, cus your fish won’t die, if you come back few weeks later. Please please keep it as I count on it.. Thanks for a great app. ### 5/5 — Verry calming *2019-12-01* I would highly recommend this for anyone with sensory issues, or anyone at all. This app is awesome, and I hope you an enjoy it too. ### 5/5 — Great app. *2019-05-25, version 1.0* This is a gr8 app ### 5/5 — Zen Pond *2019-03-06* This app is intriguing! I show my 9 month old grandchild identifying fish, turtles, frogs, birds and more. She is learning to touch the screen “gently” and giggles immensely. ### 5/5 — So relaxing and amazing graphics *2018-05-14* I’m truly amazed at the high quality graphics that was put into this app. Just beautiful. It is so interactive and the sounds are wonderful. Thank you so much for putting the time and effort into making such a high quality and beautiful app. Truly amazing and I would love to see more apps from the developers ### 5/5 — Zen Ponds *2018-04-07* Very relaxing and enjoyable and very addictable.
