Koi Pond - The Blimp Pilots
Clear your mind.
Imagine gazing into a pond of crystal clear water. Picture bright, playful koi swimming through its shallow depths. So close... Can you touch them?
You run your fingers across the cool surface of the pond. Water ripples away from your touch. The koi, disturbed, dart away. Only to quickly forget and swim close to you once more...
Now imagine all this on your iPhone or iPod touch!

Olivoyle Very cool! If you think it's boring, that's because you were expecting a game full of tweeking crackhead activity...it's a freakin koi pond, your supposed to be relaxed by it jacka**es! When you pass a koi pond at someones house, are there asteroids to avoid, or do you often have to rescue a princess from it, do you race around in it? NO, you touch the water and feed the fish! I think it's exactly what they explain it to be, very realistic, and relaxing! Glad to have it on my phone! If you want something that keeps you crazy, try a fast paced game, and in the future pay attention to the discriptions before you buy, READ THE REVIEWS, they really help! QUIT BITCHING because you didn't pay attention to what you bought! I'm sure you're the same idiots that complain that your expiration date is past when you get home from the grocery store because you were to f**king stupid to read it before you bought it!

Very good 99 cent app I would like more fish though and i wish i could feed them. It would also be nice if there could be weather tlike the reflection of th sun and clouds, or rain so the droplets make litle ripples in the water and make the reflction dissapear.Click yes if you agree. But it is a very nice app, very well polished and awsome graphics. I like the sounds. - Koi Pond review by Jimmy3
Thx Blimp Pilots I was very resistent on buying this app I thought it would be stupid and would get boring after its first day. Then the 2.0 version came out and i still thought the same. But u cant go wrong with a dollar so i got and it just blew me away how good it was! The sound effects are amazing, the graphics r just WOW! and everything else is just amazing. This is an spplication that is worth the $1. Here are some things i think blimp pilots should consider...1. instead of just hearing frogs seeing them, same with insects2. Raising fish (naming and breeding)3. maybe make different enviroments4.reflections (sun, moon, animals)5. being able to move the food6. having the fish follow ur finger7. more fishthats all and Blimp Pilots, keep up the good work, thx a bunch(click yes if u agree, no if u dont) - Koi Pond review by theRealReview
I dunno what you guys are complaining about... Personally, I think this app is totally worth the 99 cents. Think how much money that is in the scheme of things--almost nothing.
The graphics in this app are stunning. The water motion is amazing, and the koi look great and react well. I'm not going to say it isn't worth it now, but more features are always a plus. This app is also very quick and has ZERO lag whatsoever. Totally worth it for me, even if it is just a cute interactive animation in the end. And if you don't like it much, don't taint the reviews with a complaint and a single star. Give them credit for their work. Being a developer in the works right now, I can tell you that making this kind of app would be very difficult.
So, I thank you, developer, for bringing such a nice little app to this community at such a low price, and I appreciate the amount of work and attention to detail. Looking forward to seeing more from you in the future! - Koi Pond review by MarkMac
More! Night mode with flickering lanterns reflected in the water.Night mode with moon reflected in the water.Soft Zen music ala Zen GardenDefinitely rainFish foodCoins - Koi Pond review by Scotty1024
Very cute I was looking for something to distract my 2-yr old for 10 mins on the plane flight tomorrow (amongst my aresenal of other distractions), and this should be just the ticket. The water illusion is very well done, and the fish are cute. If you're looking for a game, this is not what you want, but for a cute distraction it seems great (and hasn't crashed my IPod yet). - Koi Pond review by JTdaddy
Great app! Realistic water ripples and koi behavior.
Would be nice to have the option to change the water color to a more vibrant shade of blue in a future update. - Koi Pond review by Oric77
Very cool, but more fish please! Love it-very relaxing. I need 2 things though: I need more fish and I want to feed them. - Koi Pond review by Addicted2iPhone
Impressive A very polished, well done app. Really cool water simulation, overall a great diversion. - Koi Pond review by carnevoodoo
Too Cool This does exactly what it says and is priced right at 99 cents. Great look and feel. If you get bored after a couple of minutes don't rate the game low unless it doesn't perform as advertised, Umm, you moron.
Agree that it would be neat to feed them as well. - Koi Pond review by LongDec08
Explores touch capabilities Beautifully rendered water effects make Koi Pond worth every penny. Allows you to select water color, number of Koi and vegetation. Makes for a welcome bit of relaxation in our chaotic lives. The sound is also terrific; very accurate effects. - Koi Pond review by ntrigue
Awesome! Great looking app with pretty cool interaction. Fun to torment the little fishies! Best looking app out there to date! :) - Koi Pond review by sakkakth
As Advertised... When An Update Comes The Good: The movement of the fish is smooth and responsive when you touch the water near or where they're at. The option menu (i) is a nice touch - it's simple to adjust the amount of fish/leaves and color/tone of the water. Fairly priced at 99 cents.The Not So Good: While the graphic's are sweet, the contrast and levels needs to be bumped up a bit to give it that HD feel. Now I understand what other users are saying in reviews when they said the water looks "murky". They're right. However, I think a solution is only an update away if the developers want to take an already good app to the next level, and make it great.Having said that, it's worth 99 cents. I'd keep an eye out for updates though. - Koi Pond review by LAZOMEGA
My first "purchased" app At 99 cents you can't go wrong with this zen-like app. Watch the koi swim and feel yourself begin to unwind and relax... - Koi Pond review by jaykkub
Koi pond Beautiful graphics ... Unique concept ... For all ages ... Very calming. - Koi Pond review by Ber12
This is My #1 "Show Off" App! With the 2.0 update, Koi Pond is now better than ever! This is "the" app I love to demonstrate to people to show off the best features of my iPod touch. It's fun to watch the smiles and the eyes light up in both children and adults (even the most elderly) when they touch the water and interact with the fish. I gratefully tip my hat to the developer for creating such a superb, original app that makes magnificent use of the iPhone/iPod Touch capabilities... and I look forward to seeing what new apps might hatch from the same imagination! - Koi Pond review by LotRsFan
One of my favorite apps! I thought this would be cute app to show people, but it turns out to be one of the best apps I bought! Very relaxing, and the graphics are wonderful. My only suggestion would be to brighten the screen some. - Koi Pond review by Sio2man
not bright or colorful Great app would give it a 5 star rating if I could see it...it is muffled looking..when the first logo screen pulls up it is nice and colorful, then when the app pulls up its dark and muted. Please brighten the colors...it is a great app, but the beauty would be in the color...where is the color? - Koi Pond review by susan404
Koi Pond is full of Zen The app has great graphics and sound. I really like the fact it can be customized to my mood and feeding the fish is fun. The price isn't bad either for something similar to a screen saver. - Koi Pond review by ziermeister
Neat, good looking & simple application For 1 dollar, you can't go wrong with this app. - Koi Pond review by Kallel000
