Marine Aquarium 2.6 app good for
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.
@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.
A wonderful app for the iPad. Do yourself a favor and buy it. You wont regret it for a second.
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!!
Some bad moments
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.
This is such a waste of time like u can only zoom in and out and Im like oh my god! Like Serisly ppl oh my god who would want this app all u do watch little fish swim around like and no sharks!? no sting ray!? Not a good app o.o
This app is literally perfect for the iPhone 5s screen. Take advantage of it and UPDATE!
How come all u do is just look at them!! I thought when u tap it the fish would move or SOMETHING!!!!! DO NOT GET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
While I loved this app years ago, opening it on my iPad Air reminds me that it is seriously out of date. The graphics are not good enough- they appear over sharpened and "shimmer" when the fish move.
I would love to see some features, ANY features added- variable fish size, a modicum of interactivity, different backgrounds, feeding, etc, etc.
I appears that this is now an orphaned app. Sad really....
