Dreadful. It’s booted me out of the game 3 times now. First time I deleted and reinstalled it on my phone. Then twice just now. This is not cool. I would have given 5 stars if it wasn’t for the boot out and that last update to this game. If you don’t plan to update this game frequently enough and just let it got down the toilet give us our money back for buying this game.

Still somehow working after 7 years without an optimization update!

I loved this game as a kid, just a nostalgia buy many, mayears ago. Played it some and enjoyed it. Somehow works on my IPhone 15 pro without an update in 7 years. A most pleasant surprise!

I purchased this game as i recall the fun it was i should have read the most recent review. It crashes and they are not going to fix it i want my money back.

Should have read the reviews
     
by Redactedmush · October 10, 2025

the game still does not work. It crashes. I’m requesting a refund because this is absolutely insane, I just wanted some good old nostalgia and instead I get money stolen from me for a single frame of an app that opens for a single second and crashes

Can’t see the whole fishdex in mobile

In the PC version you could see which species had been bred to completion. Hundreds of combinations. In this one, the only available info is which of the magic fish you’ve bred. It takes away so, so much.
