You need to improve the graphics a lot of other stuff and the words are too small to read you must improve your game it needs a lot more improvement trust me that game isn’t gonna get a lot of players for a long time.

Cheaper items and STRONGER FISH!!!

Every time I tried to get good fish they were too fragile!! Most of my fish would die at the age of 5 before I could breed them!! Waste of time!!

App quit working

I’ve spent countless hours playing this game over the last several months, and suddenly my app will not open. It is not a phone error as i have reset my phone, but an app error and If i remove and reinstall i sill lose my progress. I am so upset that the game has failed in such a way. Also would love to be able to add a tank with in app purchase or something so i do not have to restart withers

Am I missing something here?

Total waste of time.. I use to play this game on the computer a lot but the app isn't as fun. I don't get why it takes so long to sell the fish... All mine are like $5 and I still have to sit and wait for an eternity to sell one! Also all my fish died out of no where so now I have even less money. I'm just saying, this game is irritating. MESSAGE TO THE GAME ADMINS!! --> this game could be awesome if you all would jump on it! You'd make a ton of money?!? Just update the stupid game! Work on graphics and quicker sells and products we can buy, etc!

I used to play this game so much as a child and I'm excited they made a mobile version for it. I can't wait to try it, I hope it's as good as the computer version😊

Love it

I love how so many people are bagging this game and saying the graphics are bad. This game has been around FOREVER. BEFORE SMARTPHONES EXISTED. OF COURSE THE GRAPHICS ARENT GREAT. But I’ve always loved this game and I’m glad there’s an app version of it

Eh drop prices.

They make stuff in the store wayyyy too expensive and it takes forever to get any decent money or have space for enough fish to sell and actually make profit from. The research stuff is too expensive and so are the plants and most of the things you can get.
