About

Paper Aquarium

Features
Read full description

Your child colours a fish on paper, you take a photo of the sheet — and the fish swims in a 3D aquarium on the tablet or the TV. That is Paper Aquarium. HOW IT WORKS • Print a colouring sheet straight from the app, or save it as a PDF. • Colour the fish with markers or pencils — any way you like. • Take a photo of the sheet: the app finds the drawing by itself and turns it into a 3D fish. • The fish swims in the aquarium: feed it, watch it school with the others and change its pace. AQUARIUM ON THE TV Via AirPlay to an Apple TV — or simply over Wi-Fi: open the address in the browser of a TV or computer, no extra devices needed. WHAT'S INSIDE • 12 colouring sheets with different kinds of fish. • 28 ready-made fish from the pack, to fill the tank right away. • 15 underwater backdrops, plus your own photos. • A separate aquarium for every child. • A library of every drawing you have photographed. • Calm water sounds. FOR PARENTS No ads, no accounts, no data collection. Drawings stay on the device. Purchases and anything that leaves the app sit behind a parental gate. Works offline. FREE AND PRO Free: one aquarium, the clownfish and up to five fish. Pro unlocks every sheet, every fish, up to 40 fish per tank and your own backdrops — forever with one payment, or by monthly subscription. Works on iPhone and iPad. Any AirPrint printer will do.
