Aqua TV

This used to be a solid app, and was probably the best aquarium app out there, as it worked on AppleTV, iPad, iPhone . . . Now, nothing. It hasn’t been updated in 3 years and no longer works properly. I want it to work. I liked it. Now it’s nothing but a waste of drive space. I hope the developer updates it, but after three years I’m not going to hold my breath.

As of June 21, 2020 the Apple TV app and iOS app no longer show the fish tank. Instead it has the menu items and a light blue background, no other options/ fish tank appear. It looks as if a server may have got disconnected. Please fix.

It crashes after the recent Apple TV update. Please fix!!

Fish movements tend to be pretty mechanical - especially when moving up or down. Fish also swim through each other and through the ornaments. Would really be nice if we had the option to view the tank with the background & ornaments but without the glass. A little angry that I’ve spent money buying shells to add to my aquarium (added almost everything) and then they decide to unlock everything for everyone after I’ve already paid for it all!!

Sadly this app is not the virtual fish tank I had hoped for. It has a limited number of backgrounds, the ones available are as ugly as it gets, the graphics are very poor. The fish move in a choppy manner. I had hoped that this would be my virtual fish tank that I could play on my 50” inch tv in my study 24/7 as a dedicated virtual fish tank. I would be embarrassed if I had guests over and they saw this on my wall. I hope improvements and updates are to come in the future. I will change my review if that is the case.

What a nice appt. I love the changing camera angles, but then it can remain on just one as well. We think it is so peaceful. The fish are gorgeous and the plants vivid. Definitely worth the money!

This has been a great addition to our study. Lots of options. Would love to see the ability to change the camera view over time with the reef setup. Update, from the developer: You can actually change camera views in the reef automatically. If you go to SETTINGS you can set SHUFFLE to 1, 5 or 10 minutes. When in that mode, if you are in the reef it will switch to a random camera view (there are 14) at the chosen intervals.

I like how customizable this is, with being able to choose the fish, background, decorations, and gravel. I really like the Apple TV version and that it syncs the configuration with the iPad version. It's much better than another app I got that's just a few different aquarium videos that loop. The one negative is that sometimes (very infrequently) the fish appear to swim through part of each other.

My favorite app except when I ordered more shells the two new fish did not sync with my apple tv where it did on my ipad. The future is bright as they continue with more fish to choose from.

No tank, no water, no weight, no maintainance, no expense (to speak of--$7.00 vs. $700-$7,000?). This app, and a good HD TV, and you have 99% of the experience of a beautiful tank of fish--or a window on the ocean. It's amazing how far AI has come, but I have to remind myself they are virtual fish, it is that good. I'm no marine biologist, but the movement of each fish appears to be absolutely realistic, and different for each species! I particularly enjoy the manta ray and the shark, in the open ocean. if I were to look for a flaw in the app, it would be only the music. There are 3 different choices, but none of them appeal to me. Fortunately silence is an option...and they claim you can provide your own, but I haven't yet seen a way to do that. Great job!
