I try to load it up and it stays stuck at the loading screen trying to load my local profile. It errors to say make sure I am connected to wifi. Tried closing out the app, Restarted my phone, switched wifi and cellular Its not making a connection super bummed love the artwork in the game, i started playing it two days ago and its decided im never playing. And jm not deleting it because i hope it reconnects, i spent a dollar too many on this game. So mad.
- lysol disinfecting wipes · v1.25.18
the game is so slow. takes too much time to be able to get enough bubbles to feed all the fish consistently it's been days of consistent playing and I'm only on level 7 because it takes too much time and it's super boring. I recommend for them to make it more exciting and more ways or mini games to get more bubbles to feed fish and simplifying the task list! telling me to feed 40 cleaner dish while it's costing over 100 bubbles is ridiculous.
- Lamiya Jackson · v1.25.18
since the update my snail is completely broken. please fix it support has been no help unfortunately.
- Deidre Elizabeth · v1.25.18
it can be slow to progress but very calming
- Melanie Turner · v1.25.18
I really enjoy the game. It's a calming activity. But I think it's unfortunate that the events are always too short to successfully unlock all species, which makes it impossible to fill the entire set. At some point it seems the only way to truly progress is to spend money which I find very unfortunate.
- Charlie Bierend · v1.25.18
Lovely graphics, and very relaxing game.
- Ana Lucía Fernández Salazar · v1.25.18
Easy and quick pace to start, then after a certain point way too much of a pay to play conclusion. Could do with more events and less purchase oriented.
- Danny Sutton · v1.25.18
after the new update ,my coins continues to vanishing without using to feed my fishes....please fix this as soon as possible....
- Mell Chen · v1.25.18
the under water music that’s super soothing and then the whole animal list. Theres more but im lazy. Great game really. If you’re autistic or not i think anyone would love this game just like me.
- izzi1200123 · v1.25.18
Beautiful graphics. Relaxing gameplay. Not to mention cute critters. I think it's awesome and would recommend it. :)
- Glenda · v1.25.18
so cute and relaxing
- Jasmine Earls · v1.25.18
Your games are absolutely wonderful and suitable for all ages, including adults. I would love to see you create a game about gemstones—collecting them and learning facts about them in your signature style. I also love a game centered around mushrooms—covering details like how they grow, whether they are poisonous, and so on. or a game featuring a witch who mixes natural ingredients to create magical potions, with information provided for each remedy or recipe or game about owl or a raven gam
- Aiia Merehby
This game is great for anyone who loves fish and decorating!! It is a very calming game and it is great for long car rides. This is one of the best games i've ever played!!

This is the best game
- Maximo Gumapac · v1.25.11
collecting the diferant fish is realy cool!
- Jolteon Wilburn · v1.25.11
My favorite game honestly even between the runaway company 🐠The fishes you see are based on real life species that you can learn a lot about. 🐟The events are perfectly doable without paying. my advice is to set timers in order to feed your fishes on time. 🐡it's cozy, perfect to relax your mind but challenging enough to keep you engaged 🦐 Last but not least thanks a lot to the support that help me w m account 🫰

Delightful and beautiful species representation
- Elliot Zans · v1.25.11
fun
- Rkin de Leon · v1.25.11
The game immediately deserves 5 stars simply for providing an option to disable ads. It's a beautiful, relaxing and fun game, very casual and great for winding down. I understand ads help creators but giving the player the choice is quite honourable and to be praised for. 10/10
- Bebiana Festas · v1.25.11
I like this game alot but inless you spend actual money, you will be stuck waiting hours to do ANYTHING because you need more bubbles- i have restarted several times and no way to win without spending money
- purplepanties · v1.25.11
simple and fun game. Just hard to keep up with the bubble coins!
- Lexi Kunz · v1.25.11
wowie love (edit: im having this small problem where some of the stuff doesn't save 😓 like something small where ill feed my pets and release them but when I join the game later my pets are still there, or like when I claim the daily reward but it doesn't save? idk I'm not that bothered about it but I thought it was just a little bug worth letting you know about, bye!!)
- elliott holloway · v1.25.11
Painfully slow to advance. I don't mind games that take a long time but my lord this is slow. You will only spend 30 seconds on it then back to waiting... zzzz
- N · v1.25.11

I've tried multiple times to download this game but I can't. It will start downloading but give me an error before its over. I've restarted my phone and I've got plenty of storage. I downloaded other games before and after this, with no issues and I've cleared the play store cache. I would love to get some help.

- Erni Kwek · v1.25.11
Your "Drag this fish into these fish to make a school" quests don't work. And even including those, in a game where ALL THE CONTROLS are done by touching the screen, including zooming and moving the screen, it just makes those broken quests an exorcize in frustration. Either add a full zoom, or a screen lock, so people don't want to pull their damned hair out trying to slide one stupid fish into 3 others.
- Lawrence Brigham · v1.25.11
fun and easy to play
- Kricella Gomez · v1.25.11

I just downloaded this and it's a lovely game so far, it's easy to get started and enjoyable from the get-go.
- Catherine McGregor
very good game for fish lovers! i recommend!
- Sunny Skylla · v1.25.11
would be 5 stars but almost every ad you watch to get rewards screws you over and reloads the game, never giving you the rewards as promised... other than that I find enjoyable and relaxing game
- Mr. Taco Lover · v1.25.11
slow, calming, soothing. this has been a great antidote for doom scrolling.
- Peter Westergaard · v1.25.11
Here is advice to improve your game Pondlife 1.Give the two main characters Lily and Willow a voice actor 2.Put a megaphone icon on the animal fact profile people could tap on and it could read it out for them for those struggling to read 3.Introduce new animals in the game like water snakes muskrats any species of lizards who hang in wet environments and alligators
- Krishi Deo
It’s rare to find a mobile game that’s actually cozy and relaxing. The gameplay, art, music, and overall vibes are amazing. I also love the characters, Lily and Willow. As a freshwater fish keeper, I’m extremely impressed with the artists for accurately portraying popular freshwater fish I’d find in the aquarium hobby. Most species are too large or advanced for me personally so I’d probably never own them. But at least I can live that fantasy through this game lol. 5/5⭐️
- AthenaNocturnowl · v1.25.11
Amazing game, one of the best but five minutes of ads for one spin item or free maturing is ridiculous, you can never get out of ads without closing the app either. And its especially irritating for how much battery life this game eats. Its a big turn off. Limit ad time. Better the game.
- Sarahtorlu · v1.24.6
I found this game and thought it looked super cool, and I like, begged my mom to get it for me, and she did. I absolutely LOVE this game, the music is very soothing, the fish are beautiful, and there are no ads. And I was even on time for the events! Really lovely game.
- fishyfriend19 · v1.24.6
This game is very calming and perfect for people who love fish and frogs! This game always helps me relax and lets me take care of some fish I can’t have! It’s overall a very well made, cute, and relaxing game. Would recommend but be careful…It’s very addicting!
- Teddy_uris · v1.24.6
this game is awesome and super relaxing, but I have an idea for the development team. Could you potentially do a game similar to this but with Horses? I’d really appreciate it.
- Elarah millson · v1.24.6
Very fun game!
- jefredghvbdy · v1.24.6
I’m so tired of playing games and getting bombarded with ads. No ads at all, and on top of that it’s so so so relaxing. Love all the different species and how you can decorate
- Beartrap.pkg · v1.24.6
Peak game for when I’m just relaxing after work
- litten10101 · v1.24.6
I usually don't leave reviews but this is a special case as I used to play splash when i was little. It was one of my favorite childhood games, so imagine how thrilled i was when i found out it had a sequel! Needless to say, I've been playing this game for around a week so far and here are my pros and cons: Pros: -AMAZING art style and OST (i personally prefer it over splash) -Tons of unique fish species -Minimal ads -Fun events that feel really rewarding to complete -Relaxing Cons: -NO PHOTO MODE!!! It was probably my favorite part of splash, as you could take cute photos of your fish and add speech bubbles and share it with other people. -Needs a way to disable HUD. Sometimes i just want to sit back and watch my fish swim around but there is no way (as far as i can tell) to disable the HUD. This could be part of photo mode. -Not a NEED, but i would love to see certain species be able to walk or hang out on the floor, like salamanders or maybe new sets like freshwater snails or crabs. It looks so tiring for them to swim indefinitely. I hope you see this and consider my suggestions :)
- Zolotyl · v1.24.6
Great game for adults
- Lsoped · v1.24.6
This is the BEST!! Game I’ve ever played honestly I am shocked at how cute the fish and other things are in summary this game is five star. Great game

- Dr.monkey’s · v1.24.6
This game is so fun I have been playing for so long and it’s calms me down so much just thank you sometimes I want to die but this game helps me if I could rate this more I would
- Jacooobiscool · v1.24.6
Very idle game. Wish there were other features, like that old fish game on Facebook. They had mini games like races, you can train the fish to do tricks. You have to clean the tank routinely, otherwise the tank will grow muck and the fish will be sad. What I really wish this game has is to have different aqua-scape options. Because the one right now is hideous. No offense.
- ConcernedUserOfThisGame · v1.24.6
Fun and relaxing great for hobbyists!

This game doesn’t really make you watch any ads and is generally relaxing to play! Highly recommend!!
- Excessivemusiclistener · v1.24.6
Downloaded and hesitated to play for months because of previous experiences with games that were “real time” in the past, causing my fish to die when I forgot about the app for even a day. But this is so different and such a fun game!
- Jasper69420 · v1.24.6
Great game
- 145346436 · v1.23.25

This game is totally for me because I love the tranquil vibes and I love animals so I highly recommend this game for anyone who loves animals as much as I do
- Paleodude122 · v1.23.25
I LOVE this app it’s so fun and the animals are so cute plus the thing that lets you disable ads is so awesome but my only downside is when the animals transform they just poof not show the transformation. But overall it’s an awesome game!
- Dino nuggey · v1.23.25
It’s a good game and so calming and relaxing so much that I want to get a real fish and Frogs so cute and adorable
- Very good and cute loved · v1.23.25
It’s so cute dude,and while I wait to feed my fishies and my frogs I’m playing hatch dragons! I’ve already made a review on hatch dragons or had, so yeah!
- Rainbow_Friends272 · v1.23.25
I absolutely love this game! The fish/frogs and other creatures look like their real life counterpart while also being adorable. It’s a good mix of collecting, idle, and cozy games. I like that they put some educational tidbits in the game. It’s so much fun to see what creature I get to unlock next!
- AlchEmmy · v1.23.25
I like this game, it’s adorable and so relaxing. Easy enough that even a 4 year old can play! It’s a good thing. It feels educational ,referring to the life cycles in this game. It seems like a fun way to learn!
- shihofan-PROJECT SEKAI PLAYER · v1.23.25
I am a bit of a biology nerd ,I have trouble sleeping,and sometimes I get angry a bit too easily so this game is perfect for me !keep up the good work!
- Fishing lulu · v1.23.25
this game is so peaceful and only gives you ads when you choose to watch them
- why arent nicknames optional · v1.23.25
This is less of a game and more of a work of art that you can play. The music is the only break I can get from four other siblings and whenever I open the app I never regret. Sometimes I’ll just take a screenshot of one of the animals and then draw it later. You can see the care and intent in just a minute of playtime this game is amazing. I literally have no complaints to speak of.
- SavannahNix · v1.23.25
I got skinned alive
- Joelfhfjjjdjf · v1.23.25
I started playing yesterday, but I love the graphics and the assortment of different fish and frogs you can get! The current update is very cool, even though I don't have much patience, it keeps me engaged for a while. It definitely lives up to "relaxing cozy game"!
- ItsbeenAJ · v1.23.25
I’m really frustrated with the latest paint event. I received three paints: blue, purple and green, but the color I need to submit is white. Now that new paint is available to claim, I cannot collect it at all. I suspect this is a bug. It seems the system only allows a maximum of three paints in total. I’ve been stuck here for a whole day: I can’t claim new paints, nor can I discard the paints I already own. Please fix this error as soon as possible.
- cyan-phos · v1.23.25
Now this is my fav game because I love fish And games like this so that’s why this is my fav
- 𝓟𝓲𝓷𝓮𝓭𝓪 · v1.23.25
I just downloaded this game yesterday and so far I am having such a great time!! I’m a fish keeper myself and have 7 freshwater tanks and it’s so wonderful to see a game that has the kind of fish I keep in real life and to see such great representation for the kind of habitats and behaviors of these fish!! 10/10
- Z0mB1E007 · v1.23.25
Ok so first of of y’all should gv the event more days because everyone cannot check in every 2 hours cuz of work..also the add rewards don’t work all the time…y’all should deff patch small bugs like this…because the overall game is really good and would be even better without these tiny bugs
