Marine Aquarium 2.6

First and foremost, this is a screensaver. Originally created for PCs by artist Jim Sachs sometime in the 90’s, there were other aquariums but none that truly looked, well, real. I own every version of this which he’s made available and it never disappoints. Do you actually need a screensaver in the modern world? Probably not. Do you want to turn a display into an aquarium? I think that’s the appropriate question to ask yourself. I don’t always, but when I do, this is it.

Love to run this on my iPad Pro. Looks great!

It doesn’t function as a screen saver at all, and the picture does not fill the screen entirely plus there are virtually no ancillary control adjustments. Version 3.2 (which apparentlu is NOT available in the Apple Store) has run perfectly well on my iMac 27” for years as a real screen saver. Unfortunately I see that if one attempts to load it on the latest iMac 24”, it is loaded into the screensaver control space, but sadly it will not run and the iMac warns you that it’s because “the developer can’t be verified” suggesting it’s possibly malware.

I’m a firm believer that an app should get better with time, this one misses that mark! I have an old iPod touch 2nd generation (if memory serves correctly) and I purchased version 2.6.2 for it. The screens on iPods and iPhones have increased in dpi by leaps and bounds since then. That being said why does this most current version appear blurry? The high def aspects aside I noticed that some of the fish are not interacting with tank pieces as if they were solid. One fish in particular is able to swim through the shell!! That doesn’t happen in the old version. Now, in this offering I noticed that the foreground and background lights have been removed and you get day or night. The previous version the fish were better viewed with a slightly darker background. There’s no rock wall, no crumpled foil just a blurry light blue boring to look at wall. Now let’s talk some more about glitches. While trying to lower the bubble column volume it went out all together. It wasn’t until I closed the app and restarted that it came back on. Also the night version is a miserably darkened screen that if you left it on at night would barely shed any light in the room and fish appear mostly in shadow. This app needs to return to some previous options, repair glitches and get on board with the 4k resolution we’ve all grown to love. Until then the $2 charge for the app is a waste of money. I’m deleting it from my phone and will continue to use the sharper resolution version with the functionality and glitch free performance I love. C’mon guys…… get with the program and stop ripping people off with this bastardized version. That’s my 2 cents.

Back IOS. People would pay for new fish and backgrounds. Always slogo on the development of this one. It still holds up after years and years.

Live this screensaver growing up and thrilled to have it in my pocket. One bug I’ve encountered is that I can’t change the tank background color like I used to be able to in the screensaver making it a sold black background. When I tap on the background color square in settings, it just unchecks then scene.

Very beautiful aquarium app

しました。 タイトルはver 2.6ですが、Mac版と同じくver 3.3になりました。 いやーお待ちしておりましたよ。iOSが64bitアプリonlyになって久しいですが、もう開発されないのかと諦めていたところでした。 自分的にアクアリウム系のアプリはこれ一択だったので穏当に嬉しいです。

Very nice, very realistic aquarium, but did the artist not know or forget that coral itself is a living, moving animal? In this app it looks like it is plastic or just dead plant matter, like you might purchase a pet store.

Are you ever going to update for apple ipad. I love the app so does my cat :D

色々海外に行ってるが、そんなかんじ。 夜見ると👀 本物と同じです！

Please update for iOS 11.
