Wa Kingyo - Goldfish Pond 4+

I love aquariums - I always appreciate doctor’s offices with live fish and go out of my way to be near koi ponds and fountains. I’ve read that being near moving fish has a soothing affect on the nervous system and I certainly can attest to this.
There are other fish / koi apps but they seem to have more of either a game aspect or gimmicky cute aspect.
This app is serene, low-frills, and perfect for the meditative effect I was looking for. I like to turn it on and lay the phone nearby when reading or doing repetitive activities.
The backgrounds are elegant and the flowers flow and ripple naturally with the water.
My only developer request is that the fish motion AI be improved slightly- it would be delightful for the fish to dart away when startled.

I love Wa Kingyo! It is simple and elegant, yet fascinating and beautiful. This app is great when you need a break from the world for a "Zen" moment of tranquility and relaxing contemplation.

The lovely graphics, realistic fish motion and stunning water effects with gentle sound make this an all-time favorite app. I have had this app for several years (since iPhone 4), and it looks fantastic on iPhone 6 Plus and iPad Air. Thanks to the developer for the iOS 8 update. Domo arigato gozaimasu, Hakozaki-san.

New:

The app is better than I remember. It's unique and that is why I remembered and downloaded it again a long time later. It's funny because the fish are goldfish and not koi apparently; both fish are similar though. I love how serene it is, especially the water effect(s) and sound(s). To make the app even better would be to add more features, but it's fine in its simplicity.

Old:

The koi fish look unrealistic. Backgrounds are colorful and nice, but are like wallpaper (not in a good way). If the koi looked more realistic and so did the backgrounds, (ex: a pond) it would be perfect. Also, if the koi moved where you put your finger and you could feed them, then that would make this app much more interesting and a five-star app.
