Aquarium Screensaver App Reviews

Hasn’t worked properly since I installed it

Can’t get any fish to show up.Not sure how it manages to rate so highly with all of the negative comments. Wish I’d seen through that before I purchased it..

Nice App. with a major bug in this version!

Actually the animation of the fishes could be a little more natural - but overall the composition of colors and shapes of the reef and fishes is beautiful to watch. I am using an iMac version 13.1 i5-4core 2.7Ghz with OS X 10.8.3 (latest version) and the application does not seem to need much resources: it works fine and stable. The only thing that is really annoying is a bug within the fish-composition-list: fishes can be removed from the list but once removed - no fishes readded to the list are stored and reactivated in the sreen saver. If you reopen the dialog to look at the fishes in the list: the new added fishes were not stored as already mentioned. In that context multiple choice of the same fish in the list is not possible as well. This is a major bug so I hope it will be fixed soon.

Very Nice

I really like it, specially the option to run the screensaver as a desktop; Good job! However, I think it will be great if you enable a real customization of the background ( by adding/deleting different items, corals, plants...etc.) rather than restricting the options to a limited choices from the available ones.

DOES NOT WORK AS PROMISED!

This app does not work as a screensaver on my iMAC. It works fine as a Desktop (wallpaper), but thats not what I bought it for. I have followed the steps to install it as specified, but IT DOES NOT WORK. When trying to set it up as a screensaver I get an error message: "Cant find resource files, please reinstall the screensaver in Preferences". Ive reinstalled the app about 20 times and get the same result every time. I emailed for support and only got the same steps as a suggestion. ** DONT BUY THIS IF YOU WANT TO USE IT FOR A SCREENSAVER ** Go ahead if you just want to use it for a moving Desktop.

Is not integrated into screensavers

The graphics look great on this app, but it does NOT show up in the screensavers part of system preferences….so I cant adjust anything having to do with hot corners, passwords, timing or anything else. BUMMER!!! Sent them an email to see if I canget it resolved….

useless

it isnt integrated into system preferences. total waste of money.

Thumbs DOWN

Wish I had read the other 2 reviews. $2.99 down the drain. Doesnt integrate with system preferences. Going in the trash.

This is not good

Im not recommend I buy and is very difficult to install

Fail!!

I just bought this app and the only thing it has managed to do is turn my mac into a perminanet aquarium. This app totally freezes my computer and I have to restart the machine in order to use it again! Waste of money…do not buy!

Whats the point?

It doesnt load in the system screensavers. I see no point in this.

Total Waste of Money

This app looks great in the app stor, but is impossible to load. It does not matter how good something looks in a store, IF IT DOES NOT WORK ON YOUR COMPUTER. Caps intended to make a point. APPLE, you owe me my money back! I would give less than 1 star if it were available.

does not play well with Mountain Lion

I expected another screensaver to be installed along with the system screensavers. this was not what I got, and that is one of the the annoying things about this app. the second major annoyment is that it sometimes seems to not be active, yet kicks in anyway. Not a great experience.

Its like a daily "Nemo" fix!

I am probably biased because of my grand daughters love for this and all little "fish." It is fun to have it pop up when Im working on something else and I hear the bublbles in the backgroujnd.

Would be great if...

Would be great if…it worked. It doesnt…at all.

not worth it

dosent work at all, and i have a brand new MAC waste of money!!!!!

fishes disappeared!

Global warming is real! Adding fish has no effect. Removing the fish delivered with the app only depletes your tank -- forever! The empty water is pretty, I guess, but -- Got a Blue Tang? No, Go Fish!

Aquarium

I love having this on the desktop while I work. Its colorful and pleasant to look at.

Ehh ok

Like everyone says once you remove a certain fish you cant put it back in the tank. Please Fix! 1 star until its fixed otherwise its a decent app.

Better than the real thing

Very bright, colorful, and well-designed. A daily dose of happy without having to feed them.

The fishes are gone!

There is a missing loop in the coding. Once the fish are gone (to show empty aquarium), there is no way to link the fish back in. Please let someone know about this, if you get the app, do not make the fish disappear. I hope to see a update fix on this problem fast.
