Go Fish – A Quick Look At Marine Aquarium
By 
I’m a bit of a sucker for apps like Koi Pond that look great, provide a moment of escape and… do NOTHING ELSE. Aquarium falls squarely into that category.
Anyone familiar with SereneScreen, the old "Aquarium as screen saver" app, will immediately recognize this app. Start it and fish swim around, the aerator bubbles away happily and… well, actually, that’s it. Yes, you can change the volume of the bubbler and it does list the fish you’ll see swimming by… but that is it. It does nothing else. Yes, Aquarium does even less than Koi Pond. You can’t change the fish that swim. You can’t tap on the screen and watch the fish react. You can’t do anything but sit back and watch the fish.
The graphics are stunning and a few minutes watching it are rather relaxing. At $2, however, I can’t bring myself to recommend it. I like it but not enough to suggest that YOU buy it.
I might change my tune if it dropped to $.99 and I would DEFINITELY recommend grabbing if it were to be free for any length of time. For now, however, I suggest you pass.
Quick Take
Value: Low at this price
Would I Buy Again: not at this price
Learning Curve: zero. then again it doesn’t DO anything
Who is it for: people who like aquariums more than they like $2
What I like: Looks great… actually… looks amazing
What I Don’t: That’s all it does
Final Statement: Not now but maybe at $.99
You’ll find it HERE in the App Store.
