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 have two of the ocean tanks and will be setting up a third. I have an assortment of beautiful fish, with a couple of sharks and sea turtles. I am quite happy to buy the inexpensive "shells" which is the currency to add in tanks. I like being able to change the mix of fish, then it dawned on me to just set up some different tanks and go nuts having a concentration of say blue or yellow fish. There is a good assortment and their swimming is very lifelike. I now see them as conscious beings and will probably name a few. Seriously. Relaxing any time and before bed, with or without music it helps to relax and sleep better I am hoping the already great fish selection will get expanded. Love this app!

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.
