HOW SURE ARE WE
Not in any grossing chart, so this comes from ratings growth (991 new ratings a month on average since launch): revenue grows with new ratings, more slowly for apps that collect ratings fast. Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2 times, and big earners tend to come out low. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

★★★★★ Well, it was nice while it lasted. Now I can't even get it to open. Keeps telling me to make sure o have good WiFi signal, I do. If you can get it to open, I'd say yeah it's worth it
★★★★★ Reload or restart is what the screen showed. Couldn't understand what was the issue. It was right before the puffer fish came in. Now after removing it and then getting it back a few days later…….still seems like a…
★★★★★ I was playing this game for a few weeks, made a lot of progress but the game chose to glitch and said it was having problems.
Price and subscription15%

11 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ From there fish food just became more and more expensive making you never fully satisfied.
★★★★★ The problem with it is unless you're willing to fork up some money, once you get past level 20 it's so impossible to level up without paying.
★★★★★ The chances of getting these items as a f2p player are second to none without spending money.
Lost data, sync, backup15%

11 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I loved this game, but my profile deleted itself and i haven't heard back from support to recover my account.
★★★★★ Once it was open it had completely restarted from the beginning and I had lost a years worth of progress.
★★★★★ My account was deleted after my last review of events being impossible.
No customer support13%

9 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I loved this game, but my profile deleted itself and i haven't heard back from support to recover my account.
★★★★★ If I love a game, I'm willing to spend money to support the developers, but this felt more like being forced to pay.
★★★★★ That wouldn't be the end of the world, but I haven't found support to be responsive through the app of via the email they gave out here.
Crashes and freezes10%

7 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ It's saying loading data complete then doesn't go pass it, i was looking towards to play this game but cant even get pass the loading screen
★★★★★ Played for about a month and suddenly the game is frozen and will not load
★★★★★ Now I can't even open the app without it crashing the load up and stating it still has a server error even after I updated it?
Slow, laggy, battery8%

6 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ It takes FOREVER to get some new creature, and the effort is honestly not worth it.
★★★★★ It's saying loading data complete then doesn't go pass it, i was looking towards to play this game but cant even get pass the loading screen
★★★★★ I really loved this game at first, it's a great slow progression.
Worse after an update6%

4 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I feel the developers of this game need to redesign this game to make it less money centered.
★★★★★ Now I can't even open the app without it crashing the load up and stating it still has a server error even after I updated it?
★★★★★ I'll be back when there's an update, hoping it fixes a game that could be quite enjoyable.
Missing features6%

4 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I LOVE THIS GAME but every time my phone dies ALL my progress disappears and there's no way to get it back.
★★★★★ it's 2025, and the inability to sync to a different device means this app is getting a 1 until i see changes. it's cute, but no cross functionality will just be a shot to the knee for the game, at least for people like…
★★★★★ I am extremely dissapointed that I will have three out of the four jewel fish with no way to collect the fourth after the event is over.

Looks great7%

27 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ I just got this game it's literally art so beautiful and so much details 🤩🤩
★★★★★ I absolutely LOVE this game, the music is very soothing, the fish are beautiful, and there are no ads.
★★★★★ You have to clean the tank routinely, otherwise the tank will grow muck and the fish will be sad.
Accurate, great results4%

★★★★★ The sound quality is exceptional, and don't even get me started on the visuals 😍
★★★★★ The gameplay, the sounds, the quality.
★★★★★ This is the best quality game I had ever played.
Easy to use3%

10 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ Easy enough that even a 4 year old can play!
★★★★★ You're probably thinking “easy tiger.
★★★★★ I have been addicted to this simple little game for almost a year.
Worth the money2%

9 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ Amazing game, one of the best but five minutes of ads for one spin item or free maturing is ridiculous, you can never get out of ads without closing the app either.
★★★★★ The special events are fun, my complaint is that when I click the “free hurry” and watch the ridiculously long (like 90+ seconds) ads I don't get the reward.
★★★★★ The game has really nice visuals and animations. The transitions from things like feeding your fish to viewing the river are surprisingly smooth, and out of the 18 fish I've unlocked so far, all of them can be fed…

Fantastic game

I love my fish and all the other little animals I have accumulated so far. There are no ads which is FANTASTIC. I usually get pretty bored with these kinds of games quickly, but I love this one. I use the food timers to make sure I am taking breaks in between studying. Study, feed fish, repeat. I hope once I get all the critters the developers have another similar game. I haven’t checked if they do yet, I’m not finished with this one

This is an amazing game it’s relaxing the art style is adorable I love the designs for all the animals they’re so pretty! The only thing is that it takes a while to progress through the game but besides that it’s a very good and relaxing game! :)

★★★★★Oct 13, 2026
Meh

It’s a cute game, and the animals are absolutely beautiful, but the game itself is just…meh. It’s meant to be “relaxing,” but this game is just plain boring. It takes FOREVER to get some new creature, and the effort is honestly not worth it. If the game gave you more options and items, I think I’d definitely play it more.

★★★★★Oct 11, 2026
My Favorite Game of All Time

It’s quite possible that I’ve never written an app review before, but this HAD to have one. I have never in my life loved a game like this. I’ve put all my friends & family on; it’s actually, genuinely life changing. It’s hard to articulate here just how fun and calming the game is. It’s charming & a good time! Everyone absolutely must download it. And to the app developers- I own a media company & would genuinely love to collab some time in some type of way! @nataliekmccarty & @gutinstinctmediaco on Instagram… let’s chat!

★★★★★Oct 9, 2026
I LOVE THE GAME
