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.

Bugs, things not working13%

8 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ since the update my snail is completely broken.
★★★★★ And even including those, in a game where ALL THE CONTROLS are done by touching the screen, including zooming and moving the screen, it just makes those broken quests an exorcize in frustration.
★★★★★ This is one of those games/apps that fails to deliver what it is intended for.
Price and subscription13%

8 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ charge went through on my end just fine.
★★★★★ Don't waste your money or time.
★★★★★ But I am giving 2 stars because after certain levels (like any other paid games) it becomes very grindy and difficult to progress without spending real money.
Lost data, sync, backup8%

5 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I was enjoying the game a lot, but now my account is gone overnight and I have to start over?

Limits, credits, locked features3%

2 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Resources diminish as fish are released, draining tokens long-term.
★★★★★ However, game progression is super slow, tank space is very limited, everything costs too much in game currency to make the game fun, and I'm not spending real money on this.

Worth the money1%

6 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ I have only found the random items ones work but they aren't really worth it, in later gameplay.
★★★★★ Very relaxing Pondlife game ,,,Very cute game , not pressured in to hurry , hurry , rush , rush , instead you can take your time hatching and feeding the creatures and plants in the pond .Very satisfying game .Do not…
★★★★★ Something I do like is that you can get aquacash for free by being involved with the game, but that takes a while.

★★★★★Oct 22, 2026

great game really cute and not overly distracting or overstimulating. been really enjoying this game, great for an occasional break from working and studying. my only complaint is that it sometimes crashes or won't open on Chromebook, but really cute and works fine otherwise.

★★★★★Oct 22, 2026

game is excellently executed and fun to play. events are happy to serve entertainment. artwork and graphics are soothing. BUT this game really need to add bubble coins collector...it is not playful to collect them one by one and opening game just to collect em.

★★★★★Oct 20, 2026

I love this cozy game. One thing I would love to see as a feature is the option to turn off the release popup or at the very lease it disapears onces it pops up 2 times. Other than that this is a really fantastic game for fish and pond lovers!

★★★★★Oct 20, 2026

I've been playing this for awhile and really enjoy it. Its usually pretty chill and I get so excited to see new fish types. I will say, though, the challenges can be difficult and I've missed out on unveiling fish bc I never finish. Right now I'm doing the art show event and for some reason I NEVER get orange paint, which is frustrating bc I keep only getting the prompts that use orange paint. Its almost over and I have barely progressed. I've never had this much trouble with an event before.

★★★★★Oct 19, 2026

I love this game and I play it all the time much to the annoyance of my girlfriend. I just would really like to see IUCN status for each of the animals so that people can be better informed.

★★★★★Oct 19, 2026

why its low chance to get white paint
