Aqua TV 4+

Great start but not very diverse.

This app does a great job at something no other developer has been able to execute on: tank design. There are some limitations that I wish I knew about in advance but not because I regret the purchase.

- ornaments are limited to kitschy and what I think are mostly tacky things I'd never use in an aquarium (shipwreck, deep sea diver person, etc) there are some basic options that aren't bad but they don't fit the population of your tank with few exceptions (more below)
- no landscaping just a backdrop (enhancement request: also selection of rocks and live rock and coral in addition to plants)
- no freshwater species. Huge problem. No South American or African freshwater fins at all, which is weird considering the plant and landscape options you are permitted in Ornaments are often suited for South American species.

So my gripes are mainly in that I really wanted to build a fancy reef tank with live rock and coral or really a nice densely rocked African cichlid tank but neither of those are possible currently.

The software is certainly capable of doing it though so I hope my feedback is considered. I'm iffy on the in-app-purchase model but it makes sense to me as a user how it works which is something at least.

Beautiful and relaxing

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.

Hi there,

Glad you like it!

Enjoy!

Very crude, lacking features & not elegant in the least

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.

Hi Fourth-Density,

It sounds like there is something very wrong there.

It was designed to run on big screens, and even on the standard (ie non-4K Apple TV) it looks gorgeous even on 65" TVs.

Could you please get in touch with support@emstudios.co.uk and we'll try to figure out what is going on.

We want you - and your guests to like it!

Regards

EM Support
