Marine Aquarium 2.6 App Reviews

I love watching aquariums. I do wish though that this app had the crystal analog clock and allowed the starfish onto the glass like my desktop version.

We need to be able to pick the fish we want in the tank! More backgrounds would be nice too.

Cant choose fish or backgrounds. The novelty wears off after the first day. Waste of money.

@agtripleog - You CAN select species of fish. You have to touch the "I" button to bring up the menu and then you rate the fish from 1-5 stars. If you rate it 0 they dont show up at all. If you rate a fish with 5 stars they show up frequently. This app is great, however its not a game so people should realize that. Probably my fav iPad app. Its just like the PC counterpart. The animations are excellent and very soothing to watch. I wish theyd release the goldfish freshwater version too.

Like others here, I had owned the Mac version years ago, and bought this for old times sake. Well, its still pretty... but the ability to customize is sadly lacking. All you have to do is look at Koi Pond HD to see how it *should* be done. Same price... infinitely more customizable in every way.

Great app. Beautiful display. Would love to feed them

Please add clock to that

A wonderful app for the iPad. Do yourself a favor and buy it. You wont regret it for a second.

Fantastic app. Had it for years on the PC

Marine Aquarium 2.6 is a port of the Mac/PC version created years ago. I used to own them and presently own version 3.0 for my iMac so I am familiar with the quality of work by this company. In my opinion, this app is on par with their work on computer platforms considering the limitations of iPod Touch/iPhone. First off, the graphics using Retina 4 display is pretty good. The fish and the background objects in the tank standout very nice. If you are looking for an aquarium game that involves feeding and growing fish, this is not for you. If you are looking for a relaxing aquarium app with nice sound and good graphics, this is a good choice. The app could have some nice enhancements that would give it 5 stars in my opinion and I ask the authors to consider these. First, allowing some background music might be a plus. Second, having more control over fish selection would be nice as well. Third, and most important, having features that allow auto-zoom and auto panning would really benefit this app. I use it at work when I am writing my notes and I find it a pain to manually move the focus around in the tank. Otherwise, this is a good app and I look forward to any improvements (hopefully). A port of version 3.2 would be worth the money for me. Thanks.

It looks beautiful on the iPad but it could use AirPlay so I can have it on my tv screen.

This is an incredible app! You can control the volume of the bubbles or turn them off altogether, you can control the lighting, and more. I was hypnotized after only a couple of minutes! Love it!!

I love it. I have the desktop version as well. Both are GREAT!!!

I have owned the original PC version, then the upgraded version for PC, and now the iPhone app version. All of them look amazing, and run very well. I hope a future upgrade for iPhone app version includes the crystal clock for the current time. Thanks, keep up the great work.

Very relaxing to watch.

Hope I could watch application on flatscreen.

Though somewhat of an oldie, This is the nicest saltwater aquarium that Ive come across. If youre looking for that perfect serene virtual saltwater tank for your device, look no further. Marine Aquarium is life-like. Very well designed. Smooth, realistic and fluid fish at your fingertips. Like it a lot! Thanks.

I had this screen saver on my old G4 iMac and was surprised that it was also an iPad app. So I downloaded it to my iPad and it works great!

Aquarian Filters and oxygen bubblers make different sounds. Its controlled by the bubble size, the air pressure and water condition. I like higher frequency and faster bubble rates. Folks that subjective. I agree though, more backgrounds would be nice. More fish which also ties into being able to pick the fish you want but this is only a $1.99 app and for my money the quality of the images and the best looking fish Ive seen, we definitely got our monies worth IMHO.

This is just about everything I would want out of a virtual fish tank: realistic fish with great lighting. Truly beautiful, and having had a real fish tank before this has just about all the benefits without the work. I would suggest one feature enhancement: the sleep feature. Right now you can select whether the iOS device goes to sleep when the app is running or not, depending on whether its plugged in or not. I think it would be nice to have a sleep timer on it. It is nice to drift off to sleep with the glow of the fish tank (and watching them swim is peaceful and conducive to falling asleep) but I dont want it on all night. Even being able to select 15, 30, 45 or 60 minute increments for it to run would be very useful. Other than that, great app. (oh and I agree with another poster that the bubble sound isnt very soothing)
