Pond Koi－Decompress and relax! for Android

This app still needs a lot of work, primarily in the animation of the koi. The fish still do not have truly life-like movement. They slide more than swim. Only the very ends of the fins seem to move and this makes them look a bit cartoonish. Still, this is the best replacement so far for the original koi pond app that so many of us know and love (but no longer works because it is was never updated to run on iOS 11). This app is simple to use and fairly intuitive. Most of the backgrounds and sounds are well executed ... though some are head-scratchingly strange. Other more advanced koi apps require feeding to grow fish and more money to unlock more features. This app does what the original did so wonderfully and simply; present a peaceful, calm koi pond setting to relax with. Once you set the sounds and backgrounds and other visuals, you simply enjoy the fish and the mood. However, the major drawback is very disappointing. The fish simply do not move in a realistic manner and this significantly detracts from the overall pleasure of the app. One hopes the developer will eventually be able to address and fix this problem. But he seems far too satisfied with his latest iterations and updates. I also wish the developer could find some better translation software, because his updates read too often like garbled word salad ... the kind of writing generated by bots that are attempting to create text for junk email selling viagra. Clearly the developer means well and wants to provide a good app, but it does seem like he’s far too satisfied with his current results. Hopefully, the developer continues to work on this app and maybe someday he will get some help from someone who really knows how to animate the fish so that they appear life-like and move realistically.

Wish I had. Still the same complaint as those from three years ago. The fish don’t move naturally. In my head I hear ‘Zoom’ as they slowly move across the screen, though sometimes they do zip across. Oh, the floating stuff is just horrid. The food looks like donuts, or maybe it is donuts, frosted donuts. I do like the music, but not worth the price.

Like many users, I came here for an alternative to the ruined Koi Pond app. Maybe it’s not fair that we all want this app to be just like the old Koi Pond, but we really do. One feature I really liked about that app was that I could remove the fish and just play with the water against a nice background. I wish I could do that here. I also wish there were more backgrounds that were realistic for water, like the tiled pools in Koi Pond. The sky backgrounds and such here don’t make sense to me. I also don’t understand what those little pairs of ovals are. Fish food? The fish don’t eat them, so that seems unlikely. I’d like to be able to eliminate them, like I can eliminate the plants. Generally, though, I like this app and find it relaxing.

After looking for a replacement to the KoiPond app, finally PondKoi has arrived. This app has realistic water and waves and you can add or delete fish, flowers, and choose different pond backgrounds. I particularly like the rocks one. You can change music or sound. Excellent job and worth the $3 for the non-lite version

The old Koi Pond app was great. It’s replacement is terrible. I thought this was going to be an updated version more like the old Koi pond app. This doesn’t look realistic. In particular, the koi swim like robots. Disappointed but if you can improve, the stars will go up. Seriously just view the old version of Koi Pond. Even going back to my 3g it was killing it over yours.......sorry
