No ads endless fun

I don't normally go out of my way to post reviews on apps. I kept seeing this ad playing other games. I've been looking for simple games to play instead of being on social media. And something to play if I ever have no service. I didn't think I'd really like this game. Most I tried I delete within the same day. I've played this for a good hour plus already. I love the fish and how they interact with you and each other. This game is really fun. The part where it shows you solving puzzles to help the fish escape those are in the mini games. I like how playing = buying stuff to improve the fishes happiness and earn more interactive scenes from them. You can also name the fish. I have not ran into a single ad at all. I'm sure many can relate to finding a fun game but having an ad like every five minutes or less. I find it easier to spend more time in games without ad interruptions. This is a very cute and fun game. I'm excited to see more of the fish interactions they all have their own personality. It's easy but not too easy to level up. This is a smooth good time consuming game without any of the stress you might experience in others. Highly recommend to those who just want to pass time. You get to decorate, buy more fish (characters) and play interesting mini games on top of something like candy crush. I like the explosives it offers, some are really huge and really helpful.

Favorite Game!

I love Fishdom so much!!! I started playing in 2020, and honestly some days it really saved me from going nuts during quarantine. The game is beautiful, well designed, super detailed, adorable, and really fun to play! You get to decorate little fish tanks in different themes, so you earn coins to buy cute fish (and name them!), plants, and decor. There are lots of bonus challenges, special events, mini games, and other incentives to play and reach achievements. They also now always have a side quest game that’s like a mystery expedition, and it’s great to switch back and forth between that and the main game! The main game is like Bedazzled or Candy Crush, and is very engaging and challenging. The explosions are satisfying and everything is ocean themed and colorful. I can definitely lose track of time with everything on Fishdom, and I love it! Just completed level 5000 and still have more to go 😅 The only thing to be aware of is that the mini games (different from side quest games) is what they use to advertise most, however, they are few and far between. The scenarios of “Oh no! The fish is in danger!” are not constant or consistent, it’s offered every 50 levels or something. I don’t find this a problem, but kinda feel it’s false advertising. Which isn’t necessary because the actual game is awesome!!! Fishdom, thanks for making such a fun and happy world to get lost in! 💞🐠

We love this game

Me and my husband play every night, for years! I see a lot of people kinda stuck on tanks, so I’m a nice person and figured I’d leave some valuable information. First of all, you only need to put in just enough coins for 3 stars per tank! After you get the 3 stars, go to next tank, and so on. Also, I purchase all the fish that my tank will hold before decorating simply bc you feed them fish daily and get coins. Then I save my coins and purchase the highest decoration available. You can also go back in the decorations and use any decoration that’s unlocked. This is helpful in purchasing the most expensive decoration so your tank isn’t so cluddered with meaningless junk. Additionally you can pile any amount of the same expensive decoration together so it’s not cluddered as well. As far as money, you don’t have to spend to pass levels. I have over 100 of each booster, and I use my diamonds for the hammers, gloves, and torpedos. You can purchase diamonds tho. Look at it like this, don’t you purchase things in everyday life to make you happy? This is no different. It’s a choice. However, be warned! If you purchase diamonds, the ads that you get will become non existent for quite some time. If you do not purchase diamonds, you should receive your 3 ads every few hours daily. I really hope this honest review helps.

Constant need to free up space on my iPhone made me delete this game.

First of all, I must admit that this a fun little game, it’s quite addicting too, I used to play it all the time (well when the game allowed me too and that’s not about the limited lives count, I’ll explain below) This game constantly pushes new downloadable content and asks you to free up space on your phone if you’re running low, that would’ve been okay if it happened once a while or gave the option to play now and download the content later but no, this happens every other day and you can’t play until you delete something from your phone to get more space and after a few times I no longer have stuff to delete which means I could no longer play the game so I had to delete it altogether....and what makes the insult worse is that technically you don’t have to download that “new” content, you can still play the game as is and I proved that by running a test; I freed some space on my iPhone and then I turned off the internet and opened the game, to my surprise the game didn’t tell me I needed a connection to download that content and the message to free up space disappeared of course which means technically I should be able to continue playing the game without having to free up space or download content....so obviously this is an artificial limit set by the devs of this game and it’s a sad one that got me to delete this otherwise fun game. I won’t be playing this again until this issue is solved.

I loved this game, but it is losing my interest

I thought this was a great game, but the farther I get in the levels, the less I get to play. It is so hard to win with it taking days sometimes to get through a level now that I am at Level 393. There is no control of where to put the bonus pieces you earn, they just get dropped into spots where you had a great move you could have made. It is hard to earn bonuses. I move a piece to do one thing, and it does something I didn’t ask it to do. I have not paid for anything yet, so that is probably why it doesn’t want me to win much. The worst part is after you get to play a few times, when you lose, it kicks you out of the game not allowing you to play for sometimes as long as 30 minutes!!! You also can earn 30 minutes of a help, like the bombs, then three minutes later, you get timed out for 30 minutes since you lost a half dozen times. You can’t choose when to use an hour you may have earned so if it is late in the night, you just lose the time. I have never played a game that was so sparse on rewards. The other thing is I like being on a team, but I am pretty useless when I can’t win a level during the days the competition is taking place. I guess if this game wants me to play other games more that won’t time me out so fast and for so long, then they are succeeding. I do love the aquarium and the fish, but that can only go so far with helping me stick with this game.

The fake screen

I love this game and when I mean, I love it. It’s AMAZING ✨⭐️🌟💫 but on the app screen I don't know if I'm being weird or if I don't have Internet or I'm not on that level or something but on the screen it looks like you good to eat other Fish on the app as you can see it was an ad but that's not what I saw I was doing normal things like the app supposed to make me do but I never seen me like when a battle like not multiple player or something but like eat other fish and make it to the end but there was other things about it like there was these like little puzzles that were kind of the same to the fish thing eating thing lol but yeah I think it was just fake on the app I don't know if I'm going crazy or not but yeah but overall it's really amazing I like buy fish and stuff yeah puzzles I normally like to play this game I'm confused or something but it's one of my favorite games that I've got overall one of my top favorites but it's probably a glitch to me so if you would fix that I would really appreciate it thank you🥰😍 yeah if you fix it I would really appreciate you thank you and if you're reading my review it might happen to you if you have an iPhone or something like that I don't know if it's just me but yeah Love this game overall making more 😜 and I would give it five stars if you fix this bug thanks

Fun… for a cost

I’m probably going to play this for a little longer, so don’t let me discount the addictive nature of this game. I’d have quit if i wasn’t being amused. That being said, the fact that it’s a naked cash grab isn’t lost on me. Some levels are simply unwinnable without a “boost”. Don’t believe me? I hit roughly level 1100 and every other level is “super hard” or a “challenge” ( that you cannot opt out of…). I spent $50 for this little experiment, so I’m sure some PR guy will reply that no level is unbeatable, but when you win based off of spending, right? So, when the app feels you haven’t spent enough, you get all the levels you can’t win without a boost. And it directly correlates to how much you spend! I had my wife just in this as a control. As soon as I spent $50, I got about 20 levels that were “easy”, whereas she didn’t spend anything and got slammed on those same levels. So we remade the accounts and got to where the app wants you to spend money. This time, she dropped a $20 and got half as many “easy” levels, while I got slammed. Basic idea, they made a fun game that makes it too easy to spend money, and that’s the point. They didn’t make this out of generosity. I’m getting annoyed by the fact that I don’t want to spend $20 a day so my time in Fishdom may be ending soon, but I’ll never fault it for a lack of entertainment value.

Stops being fun when the game begins to cheat

I agree with what other people have said in their reviews. This game started out to be really fun, and I’m not one of those people that needs to win all the time. I just play to relax, however the game stops being fun when it can take you an entire week or more to pass one level. Most recently, some thing else has been happening. This has happened to me twice now, I have been on a level and then some sort of new tournament starts and I noticed that the number of moves that I previously had to complete the level changes. I’m on level 800-something now and whereas I had 16 or 18 moves before to try and beat this level now I only have 11 which is impossible, unless I want to spend money or use up every single spare bomb or special object that I have to try and win. And, as the other reviews have also mentioned when you do use a special object it does seem to place it in such a way that it destroys what would otherwise have been a really great move. And I also have had the same thing happen to me where I go to move a piece in the play that would create a bomb and it somehow moves in the opposite direction that I swiped. Until I read the reviews, I just chalked it up to my error, however reading that this is happened to several people now makes me wonder if it’s a problem with the game. Either way the game is quickly losing interest as it’s no longer fun or relaxing.
