Idle Aquarium: Fish Tank Zoo for Negative User Reviews

✓ Not enough game play.Fun game but there is hardly any content and you can beat the game in like 5 hours. Feels like a money grab as it encourages you to spend money only for it to be pointless when the game ends quickly..MHCDANCER1997Version: 4.3

✓ Save ur timeWould give a 5 star but seeing you can finish and max out in a idle game over 4 hrs or so I think not need way more content and playability seeing it hasn’t been updated over few months hope are low..Jtggv86*Version: 4.4

✓ Great game BUTI am enjoying this game and it has so much potential, I even bought the $14.99 No Ads which really helped, yet after the update it’s asking me to buy it again and there is no way for me to get it back or get my money back. I understand it’s new and comes with bugs but this is a big inconvenience and should definitely be fixed soon. Great game tho!.Searah PearahVersion: 4.4

✓ Only a few hours of contentThe game isn’t bad but it’s not good. I downloaded the game 2 days ago. I’m out of things to upgrade. No purchases so it’s nice it’s not pay to win, but it’s also an ad watching simulator. Pretty boring and lacklustre game.Rex-osaurusVersion: 4.5

✓ Great game, poor lengthThe game it’s self is great but it is very short. I downloaded this 2 days ago and I’ve already built and upgraded everything, made worse by the fact I spent £8.99 on getting rid of ads which, had I known how short the game was, I wouldn’t have bothered with! Hopefully there is more to come as I would love to play this more!.Tommi86Version: 4.3

✓ False advertisingConfused to why the photo to advertise the game is a whale. If whales are not actually in the game.LuciewoodVersion: 4.2

✓ It’s okPlease tell me you are going to add more content. Don’t ask people to spend money for no ads and the only have like 8 hours of game play before it’s done. 😑.Gayle0524Version: 4.3

✓ Good. Needs moreFinished the game in 4 days. So much more could be added. Logbook for all fish. More rooms. Catch different types of fish etc. I’ve finished the game so now what?.HaayloVersion: 4.3

✓ ScamPaid $13.99 for no ads, open the game back up, wants me to pay again !? No where to contact customer service to get this fixed either..El3ph4ntVersion: 4.4

✓ Good game, just have one problem.I love the game and everything about it. However when I do Gully Bonus and watch the ad there’s a 50/50 chance that I actually get the reward even if I watched the entire ad..Hayden KershVersion: 4.5

✓ Stole My MoneyI paid to have ads removed and as soon as I restarted the game the ads came back! I want a refund..ShuGahTitzVersion: 4.4

✓ Dead end?So, this game is alright. Just alright. It doesn’t quite stack up to other idle games in terms of artwork and completion. I work in an aquarium IRL and was kinda excited to play this game. I willingly gave the $10 for no ads and it completely opened the game up and I was able to complete all upgrades within my first day of playing. I think I have a total play time of 5 hours and have upgraded every single thing. Everything. Now I have nothing to do but watch animations and watch my money collect in hopes that the game gets expanded more. I was a little disappointed that the number of fish you can collect is extremely limited. You only get 4 tanks to show fish in and one of those is a tank to where you can sell fish. The rest of the tanks in your aquarium are predesignated animals that you just upgrade to get multiples of. Beyond that there’s only 30 different fish to collect and you don’t even have enough slots to display them all. The icon of the game even has an orca but nowhere in the game is an orca even used. It almost feels as if this game was only made to push ads in our face. And if you invest in going ad free, well… they got your money so there’s no need shove ads at you. Mechanically the game is great. There’s only one bug that I encountered after the ship sets sail or comes back to dock that locks the camera in place and makes me restart. But nothing too game breaking..Shannon09sVersion: 4.5

✓ Love the game , hate the fact no more goals or things to buildI blasted through this game, I can’t build anymore rooms, no more goals have shown up so now it’s just redundant and no longer played like before.KristynMarieNormile21Version: 4.3

✓ Just a bit crapDownloaded this game cause I like aquariums but it’s just an ad delivery system. There’s basically no way of progressing beyond waiting for an ad and clicking it for the reward. The aquarium part is just inaccurate, most of the fish are drawn badly by people who’ve never seen the real life fish, they’re also just all thrown in the same tanks regardless of freshwater, saltwater etc. There’s a picture of an orca on the ad, but that just isn’t in the game at all. Finally, there’s a mechanic where you catch and sell fish, this could be really good but all the fish you sell cost exactly the same. There’s no ‘rare’ fish that you can make more money from, just the exact same price..N979Version: 4.4

✓ Don’t purchase anything!I purchased the remove ads option. After their last update my ads returned and remove ads was once again a purchase option. I looked for a restore purchases in the game, none! I looked for support on their site and couldn’t find it. I contacted Apple and they sent me a company email address, it didn’t work. So, in summary, I will be deleting the app and Apple is refunding me since my purchase suddenly failed to work … and I will not be playing this game with constant commercials. I don’t play games where there are more commercials than gameplay. I don’t mind an occasional commercial, but this game is almost all commercial (if you want to get anywhere)..CJG RNVersion: 4.4

✓ It’s pretty goodIt’s fun for like 6 hours until you run out of things to buy. Hopefully they add more content. There aren’t any killer whales or anything like in the thumbnail of the app which is kinda scummy but I get it they need that sweet ad revenue.Bobio-Jo-joVersion: 4.3

✓ Ripped off :(I got the game and loved it, so I bought the “No ads” for $13.99. I closed the game and reopened it a few hours later, it says I purchased it but I keeps giving me ads. Not cool. There’s no way in app to restore purchases either, and no help section. Not a happy customer..Rinn_29Version: 4.4

✓ Small gameGreat game but I finished it all within a few days.. definitely need more adding to it, especially when I paid £8.99 for the no ads it’s not really worth the purchase with how small the game is..NickyxoxVersion: 4.1

✓ App purchases disappearI was really loving the game, so I bought the feature for No Ads. Reopening the game the next day, the bonus ads were back, but the shop had it labeled as “purchased”. I reopened the app, and suddenly it says I never purchased it at all and is offering for me to buy it again. I do really love this game, but this bug is a deal breaker for me..CB-3929-1401Version: 4.4

✓ Keeps crashing but a good game to pass timeCompleted in 2 days and I loved it but it Keeps crashing on ads and start up, definitely needs more stuff to do as it’s a short game and needs more things to unlock.Bob MarieVersion: 4.4

✓ Unending Ads!!What could be a great game is non-stop ads! And it’s super long ads that when they are done, they go to the App Store. You have to tap the X again. Then go back to the ad and wait again. THEN when you tap the X, the first few taps deliberately don’t work so you have to look at the ad even longer! Horrible!.SpaceNinjaVersion: 4.5

✓ TerribleIt does not even let me on the game, waste of my time..GdddvgdshhfffVersion: 4.3

✓ Absolute jokePaid $14.99 to remove all the adds and not even 5 mins later the game didn’t recognise my purchase. Waste of money and way to many adds without add removal purchase. It’s an absolute joke..Katielouise212Version: 4.4

✓ Cash GrabIt’s a fun little game, especially for the theme. But that’s about all it is. I feel like the developers just needed a little extra money for their other games. The potential is there, but you can tell that this is just a cash grab game. Spent $9.99 to remove ads because it was very addictive in the beginning, but that’s all there is to it. Beat the game in less than 2 days. All the upgrades that you do is meaningless because the ad watching “lotto,” is where your main source of income will be. They make it seem like you’ll be collecting fish for each aquarium tank (which I do in real life) but they don’t know the difference between saltwater and freshwater fish. Not only that, but there are not enough space for the amount of “fish,” that they have in the game. The first part of the game is filling out your tanks, but then after that it’s just upgrading things things that means nothing. You can max out every thing and that’ll still take you years to get income no compare to the “ad watching,” seagull. That appears every 30sec. But once you buy the ad remover, that seagull is extended and comes every minute. It’s fun and has so much potential but the purpose of this game is just a cash grab. Would not recommend..KhawroneVersion: 4.5

✓ No.It’s a complete disaster. If I could give it a -5/10 I would..Taybug2685Version: 2.0

✓ Most of the reviews are fake, this game trashThis game while cute is not worth 5 stars. Ads block everything and you’d have to pay $10 to stop the ads. That alone is insane paying $2 maybe $3 at most is reasonable, $10 is just screaming all we want is money. Then fish collecting mechanic, which is like a big part of the game, is rigged so you have to wait 5 minutes for 1 fish that you may already have or watch an ad every 1 minute to get 3 fish and you have no way of improving or upgrading so you could wait less time or get more fish. Then on top of all of that the game is prone to crashes and you are likely to lose a huge chunk of progress you just had with no way to do anything about it..:)aleyann(:Version: 4.5

✓ 3 starsThis is a great game and all but go onto my game, and all my progress has gone!…..so now I’ve got to do it all again when I got so far along….very disappointed:(.MysticSparkVersion: 4.4

✓ REPORTED (scam)Unfortunate really, I’ve rated this 3x asking for the developers to look into this; I’ve been left with no other choice than to report this. I have been robbed of the £8.99 it cost me for the “no ads” version, which worked for the first hour (if that), then suddenly stopped working and now I have ads again. No option to restore purchases. Seems tactical. Disgusted. Refund me immediately please!!.What is wrong with this??Version: 4.0

✓ Finished?As far I’m aware this is possibly the shortest game in history lol, took just a few days to complete and that was playing on and off, everything updated and no other aquarium in site.Spuddy1977Version: 4.1

✓ Glitch!It’s a good game but every time I click to watch a video to get 6 fish instead of 3 with the trawler it glitches the game shut and I don’t get the fish I’ve waited for or the extra ones! Needs fixing please!!.Thrilled 😀😀😀Version: 4.4

✓ Don’t spend your money!Game is literally complete in a few hours. One area that maxes out with nothing to do afterward except delete the games. It does not appear the company is even replying to their good comments requesting more content. Feels like it either was not finished or was tossed out as a quick money grab. I do not watch ads, preferring to pay for no ads. Do NOT blow the $10. I personally will be avoiding all games created by this company if this is an example of their capabilities..BetibeatyouVersion: 4.3

✓ Not even a idle gameSo the main problem is you have to STAY in the game to actually make money that helps you out, if you close and wait a day and come back you get like 30 dollars in a day and it doesn’t help you at all when you need 20,000 or 100,000 dollars so if you want a game where you have to STAY and grind then this is for you....so1239272Version: 4.3

✓ ScamPaid for no adverts. This worked for half an hour until game crashed. Reloaded and no longer had no advert status. Unable to get support or a refund..SmudgerickVersion: 4.4

✓ This game is not idle at allI’ve been trying to give this game a chance but when your away from the app for 8-12 hour and you come back and have the same amount of money you had when you left. It’s really annoying and if you fix that this game would be great.YoungN-SmartVersion: 4.1

✓ Update Bugged My PurchaseI purchased the in-game No Ads and the new update completely bugged it out. The shop still says I bought No Ads but it’s not working at all and still shows me the option to purchase No Ads. Additionally, there is no in-game restore purchases option to fix it so I’m stuck with the bug..ShegoimpersonatorVersion: 4.4

✓ Terrible gameIf you want to just watch ads instead of playing a game then this is for you..Jmann_98Version: 4.3

✓ Bugs!!!Such a good game minus the Bugs!.BRI😎😎😎😎🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩Version: 4.4

✓ Steals Your MoneyI paid for no ads and I’m still getting them. Do not download game and spend money! I paid $15 for absolutely nothing!😡.Lex3199Version: 4.4

✓ Was very excited then very disappointedI purchased the no ads option from the game store almost right after downloading this game because I was excited and wanted to progress quickly. Worked fine at first and I played but when I left the app and came back later to play more, I was given ads even though the game store still said I had purchased the no ads option!!! WHAT?!.Reddy dunVersion: 4.4

✓ Not a lot hereThere’s not a lot here to keep you long term. It only took 1 week of playing this to “finish” the game. So definitely do NOT buy that “ad remover” option totally not worth it being @ $10 instead of the usual $1 like other games. Not a lot of of fish to have and they are barely visible when with the ones that you do and place in your tanks. All the gosh are not even that hard to get either, you can get most, if not all, of them in 2-3 days. Also, there’s only 2 kinds of fish for you to find, “small” and “medium.” I was expecting a “large” variant to be involved the more I played through, but no., there’s nothing more. There’s basically only one store for you to manage and upgrade. Once you upgrade everything then that’s it, there’s nothing else for you to do. No other stores to manage and upgrade, no more fish for you to find, nothing at all. I can say I did did enjoy it, but overall, it’s lacking so much compared to other idle games that it’s just sad when you think of the other more impressive idle games like this one. If they can add more stores or just be able to expand the one you start with more, along with more fish then it could be much better..HetokidVersion: 4.5

✓ The game is fine butIt’s a cute game BUT I bought the ad free thing for 10 bucks. The game worked fine for a while, but then it suddenly froze and I had to restart the app. When I came back in, I no longer had the ad free feature, but it said in the store that I had purchased it. There is virtually no way to get in contact with support from in the app, and even from the App Store you have to go completely through Apple, which is a hassle and a half, since they seem to reject claims that they don’t want to deal with soooo.TheLastLarryVersion: 4.4

✓ Wish I could move fish between tanksOnce you place a fish your stuck with where it is. Doesn't make any sense. Fix this stupid issue.SpecogeckoVersion: 4.5

✓ Game is good but rip offPaid $14.99 for no ads forever because I was sick of watching ads and it’s almost impossible to make money without them! App froze so I closed it and reopened, now I have ads and it’s wanting me to pay again for no ads! I already paid “forever”?.KayleighwarnerVersion: 4.4

✓ Fun game but I have serious problemsI love the game it’s fun to upgrade but main issues: 1)ads are basically needed to get enough more to do much of anything upgrade wise 2)ads are broken for me and play but at the end it’s a black screen and I can’t do anything therefor I get no reward as I have to close and reopen app 3) third and MAJOR issue! I bought the ad free thing for 9.99 due to my issue with ads not playing and guess what? Money was taken and I’m still stuck with ads and this was 2 days ago. Money taken from my account, but the ad free stuff never went through and I’m not paying for it again.LucifersKitten6669Version: 4.4

✓ App doesn’t workI liked the game and found it engaging. I decided that I’d pay the £8.99 to stop ads. I assumed that paying this I’d no longer see ads. I went off the game and came back to it to start getting ads again. Had I have realised this fee was per session I’d have never bought it. I feel this is misleading and have requested a refund. I’ve never known a game to allow you to pay a fee to stop ads for only the one session. Would not recommend!.Holla its hannahVersion: 4.4

✓ Endless tutorial. Thanks. IdiotFor me. There was a glitch where the tutorial went on forever make ads appear 10 times more and a 60 sec video for 4 ads to fit in captain fatty looks goddam ugly.BobafrietVersion: 4.5

✓ Good gameThis is a good game but it’s very quick to complete, I would’ve enjoyed it a lot more if there was still a way to clean the fish tanks out etc. I hope an update with more things come out soon.Robyn/gill..Version: 4.1

✓ AdsThe game is great but you have to watch an ad to get everything. Like when you get the extra fish from the trawler, you gotta watch an ad before and after you get the fish. It is a great game though like I said. I love the game and I have already told all of my friends about it. It is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo fun.😁.Sup.3125Version: 4.5

✓ Too easyCompleted in about 2 hours, nothing else to do to upgrade etc, unless I’m missing something!.TonideaneVersion: 2.0

✓ Won’t loadI downloaded the game only a couple of days ago however yet to play it as it won’t load..Dans tykeVersion: 2.0

✓ Needs moreI really like this game but it is sooo short and I would really like it if the game developers could add more see animals like sharks,sea turtles 🐢 octopus 🐙 and seals BUT please do not ad orca whales they should no be in captivity and they should be free thank you bye bye🦈🦭🐢🐙🐠🐟🐡.Eonan-rhcjfusjxjxjdhVersion: 4.4

✓ Game Done Too QuicklyYes, the graphics are okay, and the game is overall okay. HOWEVER, I beat the game in less than 3 days. Which was less than 4 hours of play time. The game isn’t balanced well and is completely finished quickly. I have tons of ideas on how to improve if someone from the team wants to reach out. But overall, the game was meant for me to enjoy and play over a while, but it was quickly beaten..CryptoClinx(YT)Version: 4.5

✓ Ad galoreIt’s all ads !! And very short :/.AdriennechristaVersion: 4.5

✓ Bought the no ads but it makes me watch them anywaysI paid to get no ads, closed the game and when I went back I had to use ads, no options to restore purchases. I’d like my money back.Gamergeek344718Version: 4.4

✓ Wasted potentialThis game is, in concept, very fun. I like the visuals. I like upgrading my tanks and playing the game in general. It’s well designed, and had potential to be great. But unfortunately, the game is way, WAY too short. Especially if you watch ads, you can burn through this game in less than a day, and once you’ve upgraded everything there’s not much to do. There’s a very limited number of fish, and you can only use them for so many things. I’d almost be able to excuse the ads, too, if they weren’t almost essential to progressing, and didn’t cost an egregious $10 to remove. Updates and changes would make this a legitimately fun little game, but in its current state, I can’t recommend it..GrandAdmiralAdamVersion: 4.5

✓ Purchases Disappear, Buggy, but really cuteThis game is super cute and fun. I enjoyed it a lot, but I paid for some ads etc… and a few days later the purchases went away. The app shows I purchased but it also doesn’t..and you can’t restore. It also crashes or freezes quite a bit. And it’s super short I would have finished except the issues above..Sarahpac1988Version: 4.4

✓ Game Breaking GlitchI loved playing, but to save space on my phone I changed it to my iPad. I was a bit worried, but it seemed fine. Until you have to send the trawl back out for fish. Now the game is permanently stuck telling me to send out the ship, but I can’t actually click on the choice to do so. It’s rather aggravating because I wanted to keep playing.JNolan4916Version: 4.3

✓ Scam.I paid £8.99 for ads to be removed ‘forever’ and when I exited the game and came back on it I had to watch ads again. Sort it out now. I want a refund.EwanhasswagVersion: 4.4

✓ No restore purchases availableNo restore purchases available.MileyMoo0804Version: 4.3

✓ Paid for no ads - still have ads???I paid £8.99 for no ads. It took my money and worked for 2 mins and then ads came back. I want a refund.Rosie3242Version: 4.4

✓ Rip offLike the game, but very disappointing that there is only enough game to play for about a day! Not happy that you charged $10 to get rid of commercials, it was a total rip off for the amount of game there is to play, perhaps 1.99 wouldve been more appropriate. I feel like you are just using the platform to rip people off with no intention of ever expanding the game..Hottamale170Version: 4.5

✓ Pleasant, but LackingI downloaded this game on a whim, as I like to play idle games while work is quiet. This one seemed right up my alley; cute, low-poly design, fish and sea creatures galore, and silly puns. It’s a cute game, and pleasant to play! However, it’s very, very basic. Now, I didn’t expect it to be super detailed, but I was hoping for a bit more. You can only get four tanks to show off your fish, and you can’t upgrade the amount of fish that can be displayed. You can put excess fish in the rock pool, but that just sells them. All other tanks are pre-designed with animals, which is fine, but it stops at penguins. Once you’ve completely upgraded everything to the penguins, the game is pretty much over. At first, I was considering spending the 10 dollars to get the ad-free version, but that was before I knew who lacking the game was. I hope it receives at update to add more tanks/animals/options, but I’m not holding my breath. In short, it’s a fun and cute time killer, but needs major improvement if it wants to justify its ad-free price tag..RainbowDash***Version: 4.5

✓ Refund pls!!!!!!!!I paid for the no adds and it worked, until I finished the game and stopped playing. I opened it back up and the ads r back. I paid $15 for nothing, there’s nothing else to do in the game, and now I have ads again. I would like a refund.Dance835Version: 4.4

✓ Cute game with great potential, WAY TOO MANY bugsBeyond all of the little things that stack up (gully jackpot tasks don’t work, cannot move around map after trawler sent out unless you tap a task that moves you, etc), the worst of all is the fact that upon closing and reopening the app, it completely forgot i have already purchased the no ads feature. not only that, but the basic “restore purchases” option does not exist in the settings!!! i did not pay $10 to only lose ads for that single session that eventually ended because the entire game started glitching out. please fix these basic issues.EspeonbubblesVersion: 4.4

✓ Not Really An Idle GameThe game is good for the first day of playing it, you can get pretty far into it just playing for thirty minutes and every so often throughout the day but it hardly ever does any background progress and logging back after a long period gives you hardly anything. It’s a good time killer but that’s about it. The missions end up getting locked behind you “spinning a wheel” which just makes you watch an ad. One of the missions is to watch 20 of these which is obnoxious and you cannot skip these missions. I’ve also watched the ads and never received the reward which is worse. Game is just okay. Nothing special..SymphariaMoonVersion: 4.5
