This is how it works:

  • When calling up the app, you will have a birds eye view of a pretty pond, apparently located far off from civilization. You see clear water, some water lillies and last but not lease, Koi fish roaming the scene.
  • You can interact with the fish by touching the screen – you’ll see the fish scatter by your touch. Wait a bit and they’ll come back.
  • You can alter the settings of this little Koi pond by tapping the bottom right corner.
  • Here you can for instance change the water colors as well as the amount of fish (change) and greenery.
  • Also, you can determine the sound and weather.
  • The coolest thing is that you can hold your finger ever so lightly on the display – and the fish will come and nibble! Try that with your friends.
  • You can also feed the fish by shaking the device.

What I like about Koi Pond:

  • I love the graphics,
  • the soothing atmoshpere is great,
  • the finger-nibbling is my favourite part.

What I don’t like so much:

  • The app has been around for quite a while and I’d expect some more creative options to be released soon.

Great! Bought it immediately – for me and our kids. Thanks a lot!

@Andrea: I’m glad you like it! Try it on people that don’t like fish – and watch their expression when the fish nibble on their finger, so funny ;)
