Water Garden Live Wallpaper for Android
I had to up my rating to 5 stars on this after the latest update. The new models, textures, and animations of the fish are exceptionally realistic and well done. Way better than the old ones. The only thing they need is now is shadows. Would like to see maybe an animated waterfall or fountain added to pond and maybe time of day cycle. Great job devs.
I'm not a fan of fish pets but omg this wallpaper is te ultimate bomb , i never review anything but i really had to in this and i never purchased on anything like a game or ap before but i invested in mire koi and the magic fish. I absolutely love this wallpaper when i look and its not there i get so upset , why does ut ro that byw , just leave my background blank instead of being on and active?
I love - no, wait - ADORE this live wallpaper! The graphics are smooth and realistic, and extremely relaxing to watch. It feels like I'm watching REAL koi swim around in my phone! Thank you for this astounding live wallpaper and your kind responses to all of my emails regarding minor bugs in the past. EDIT: I love the new sets of koi, but they swim really slowly. They also don't use their tail to swim. Could you improve the models? Thanks!
Love love love LOVE IT!! The best live wall paper for fish I've ever seen. So realistic, and calming. The plus side is, it doesn't eat up too much battery power or take up much space, either! The only "problem" (which isn't really a problem. More of a nuisance) is that there is one koi, only one, that doesn't seem to want to use its swim animation or scatter when I poke it lol. He's fearless! Thanks again for the great background! :)
When I looked on this app a thought it was going to be one of them rubish ones that dose not move but when I set it as my wallpaper it was so real that I couldn't believe it. I really recommend this if you like fish. Oh and One of the best this about this app is that you have a settings and you can change the size of this fish and change the water there in I hope you get this app.????
First class. The best live wallpaper bar none on playstore. Seamless graphics and incredible choices for change. Even lashed out and bought some more fish and extra food. Can't have them starving. Now it's complete. How cool to feed them with a double tap ???? Brilliant. Keep up the good work guys. Enjoying immensely. To the few complaining. What do you want for nothing. It's free and to have absolutely no adds. What a bonus. Just a tip to those few who don't think the fish tails look real if you go to a bit of trouble and play with the selection of fish I managed to find 6 of the most brightly coloured ones whose tails move seamlessly as with the rest of the app. Enjoy and stop complaining. It's a hoot this app. Thanks again guys.
The resolution and frame rate are both very high. The effects are so realistic. However, the reflection effect makes it too hard for me to see the fish. The customization of the live wallpaper is almost endless. It's the best. One suggestion I have is to allow single tapping for bait, because I have double tapping reserved for locking the phone on Nova Launcher.
Needs better animation on the higher quality fish. Why do their tails, fins, gills, etc. not move at all? It just looks odd. Especially the way they stop and slowly turn. It looks very awkward. And the more basic koi move like robots. The water graphics are beautiful though. But the realism of the higher resolution fish is just taken away by the fact that they're just moving across the screen lifelessly with no actual tail or fin motions, or even opening and closing gills. I do enjoy how customisable the app is though; how many colourations are available, and the different fish sizes and backgrounds. I just wish the quality of the animals animation matched the quality of the water and the customisation mechanics.
This app is great! I love playing with the fish by hitting them and creating ripples in the water. It is extremely realistic and I can get enough of hitting the poor fish. Sometimes it's just relaxing to watch. The graphics are great. Definitely try this app for yourself it's the best live wallpaper out there!! No ads what so ever and no bugs or lag! That means everyone can enjoy it. P.S It amused my cat! (It's like a game)
I really like this app. It says to double tap to feed the fish. With my phone you cant :( that turns my screen off. (LG4) anywho, love it. Only thing that would look even better is, the fish coming to the top as if they were feeding or skimming the water for food
Love this realistic LWP. Just one little problem, as I'm using LG phone, so whenever I tap twice on my screen to feed the fishes, it will go on to locking my screen instead (default setting of LG phones and doesn't seem to be able to change this). Will the fishes die if I don't feed them? ???? How can I resolve this issue??
Absolutely love the app, by far one of the best live wallpapers. Great graffics and very realistic. Only problem is if I double tap too fast to feed koi it'll go to my lock screen so it's still great even with that one minor problem.
I downloaded it and the whole app was fine on my tablet, very nice, but the main thing that took the fun out of it was, I couldn't set it as my wallpaper, the only thing I could do is go one the app and keep playing around with until I loss interest in the app, it could have great if I could only set it as my wallpaper. I tried everything, settings,the app, now I got really no good wallpaper. CAN'T EVEN COUTURE A AS WALLPAPER!!!!!!
So relaxing to watch the koi gently swim in whichever setting you choose. You can choose the number of koi, colors, and sizes. You can add rain, feed the koi, make a wave...even has a battery saver mode! I thoroughly enjoy having this app to brighten my day.
I would've given a five star but I have three robotic fish that barely move around. Other than that this app is okay, you should download it. I love to just relax and watch ( my fish) swim around my phone. I love just showing this to family and friends. I suggest if you love nature this is the right app for you.
l think that this is the best live wallpaper you can get on the google play app. You can decide if you want a reflection in the water or leaves floating. You can also do rainy day droplets in the pond and also you can have baits(food) to give your koi. You can also choose different kinds of koi to put in you pond. Also you can change the backround for your pond.
I love it. Doesn't burn up battery life at all, and is very clear and customizable too, without having to spend a cent! I have become so Addicted that i named mine...lol????
Looks really cool. The best Koi fish LWP so far. Still don't see the new species but still cool. I actually like it better without fish, reminds me of the Ocean Waves LWP from the original Samsung Galaxy S. Edit: now the new species are showing but they don't move their bfins or tail, just float around lifelessly.
I do like it, I really like that you can feed them and the reflection and rain. I'm not a fan of how fast they move though or how they pivot. I also don't like how super ripply the water is, it's too sensitive. Otherwise it's very lovely :)
Would give 5 rating if I didn't have to BUY bait...that's just ridiculous...gimme unlimited bait and it would be my favorite background. Greedy greedy...for shame.
I LOVE THIS! When there is no wifi my brother gets bored and steal my stuf but now that i downloaded it for him he stopped stealing my stuff and literally lay down tapping the water and fishes and eventually fell asleep! THANKS SO MUCH
This app is amazing and so very relaxing. I combine it with an app that simulates nature sounds and I could sit and feed my fishes forever. I have one small sugestion though: besides having the option of throwing the fishes in the dumpster like some psychopatic serial killers, could we also get a way of just unselecting them from the list and then readd them when we feel like it? I'm changing my fishes along with the background image and it would be really cool to just go back to the collection i already created previously. Great job on the app, tho. The graphics are beyond anything I've seen in similar apps.
You deserve my five stars. Thanks for making a realiatic Koi environmmet guys. This app made my phone look even greater. This is not the same with other apps that promise a live view, which only show sparkling, moving particles and fishes are not moving at all. This live wallpaper is perfect. Two thumbs up. ????????
I think everyone should love this app. I love koi pond and I think it's relaxing so this app puts me at ease. I even got my mother in law to download it. But it does often cut off on my screen for no reason. I often have to reinstall it. Can you check and change it to stay on the screen?
I like the app. Just wish people can choose how the effects work here. I want to turn off the ripples effect when I swipe, buy I can't.. However, this is one of the best wallpaper app I have come across yet
I have problems with one of the fish. Three move correctly and are beautiful and then one moves jerkily and mechanically and wont move when i tap it. It kinda ruins it. I also cant got the feeding fish feature to work, but it's still pretty cute.
(FOR LG USERS!! TURN OFF THE KNOCKON TO FEED FISH!) Love this App. Having the ability yo swap the colors of your fish, the amount of Your fish, feeding them and even adding small school of fish so many features that let it truly make it your own koi pound!
hi leo, The new set of koi doesn't even move their fins.. its like some dead fishes swimming.. when they take the turn its so artificial.. wont u be able to bring the liveliness of preivious koi fishes to the new ones.. i loved the app so much and bought all the premium stuff.. waited so long for the new species..(from august, after the announcement) its a disappointment.. edit: the new set of fishes doesn't even respond to touches they move the same even after touching them. any updates coming soon?
First of all I liked the app.....UNTIL I found out that I could only feed them so many baits . THEN WHAT ARE YOU SUPPOSE TO DO LET THEM STARVE.??? THAT'S NOT RIGHT I DON'T CARE WHO YOU ARE! THEY WANT YOU TO BUY MORE FOOD FOR THEM. UNINSTALLED THIS APP. SHOULD HAVE NEVER DOWNLOADED IT.
Beautiful wallpaper. The pictures here do not do it justice. Many choices for backgrounds and fish- you can also choose the size and number. You can make it rain, have lily pads. It's great!
I didn't know there were so many features until I received a notification that I had no more bait...then I realised I can change the background even! And I can add raindrops...and more fish...very engaging wallpaper!
It's lovely but the feeding feature stopped working. I would double tap and food would now fail to appear no matter what I try. Other than that this is a top live wallpaper and it's fun
I would like an option to be even less active. Smaller waves, fish appearing less often, fish gliding rather than flapping their tails. I'm looking for "almost still" in the best Zen traditions
Loads more options than i expected. you can choose the background, feed them, add rain drops, leaves, the amount of fishes and their species, the size. Great. Only thing that's bad about it is that it drains your battery, but that's expected.
is there any way to slow the fish down? or the ripples? realistic koi are not that fast unless being chased. its like a pond race. the word chaotic comes to mind - otherwise I'd think this is perfect
Love the graphics and how realistic the motion is. Well done! I wish the developers would consider adding another gesture, in addition to the double tap, when feeding the fish since this gesture locks the phone on most androids. How about a single tap option? Pretty please?
Well it was working just fine until yesterday and now I can't apply it to my screen. I can edit it. I can feed my fish in the app but it will not allow me to hit "apply". Not happy.
It won't Evan come up with a wallpaper! I was waiting for half an hour waiting for a wallpaper! It sucks! I am uninstalling this stupid app!
I've gone with the new, animationless species, because the other species animations are too "peppy". Please, maybe make a nice, subtle swimming animation for when the koi are swimming, and a temporary seperate or "amplified" animation that comes when the koi are startled, returning to normal when they stop moving. It'd make the wallpapers much more realistic and relaxing. Thank you!

I never review anything but this is truly the best app I've ever downloaded. It is so real! The fish are so cute and lifelike and the water is amazingly fluid. Sometimes I don't even bother playing games on my phone, I just sit and watch the koi fish swim around IN my phone. I like tapping on a fish as it swims by and watching it scatter. It's truly amazing. I'm sharing this with all my friends. Thank you to the developers. Great job!!!
