From the settings, to the actual performance... they probably need to do a better job, and/or price it for .99.
Can you detail what aspect the current iOS devices, iphone 4s, 5, iPad (A5X/A6X) can't handle if ported properly? |

![]() Marine Aquarium 3's background.
![]() What has kept the dev team from updating the current app to at least give someone the option to select, beyond giving stars, which fish will show, and how many? Back to 2.6 though... certainly it could use an update that wouldn't have any performance problems on newer devices beyond the iPhone 4, and iPad 2. |

Spending additional development money on v2.6 does not seem to lead to additional sales.
The latest iDevices probably can handle v3.2, and Jim O'Connor's team are looking into it.

I mean, look at what your updates have done. If it wasn't helping sales, and it's adding development time/costs, would you still be doing it? |

The last few updates have had virtually no impact on sales, but at least with the PC versions, I don't have to pay development cost (there's a little, since Prolific has to add some installer stuff).
The iOS versions are quite expensive, since I don't do the translations myself. Sales have been flat in good times, bad times, updates, no updates. It brings in about $60 per day, which gets split 4 ways. It pays for my lunch at Wendy's, but not much else. Since the Acrodea guys paid their own development costs, I've let them run with whatever pricing or marketing scheme they like for the Android version, and I'll be interested in watching the results.

Did it will be compatible with the iPad Pro 9.7" and 12.9" will be compatible?
"iPad Pro 12.9 inch" and "iPad Pro 9.7 inch" compatible ?
For the moment, i have an iPad Mini 2 Retina. |

The iPhone/iPad version is still the rather primitive v2.6. We're negotiating with Jim O'Connor to bring v3.3 over to those devices.

For the past few days, I've been studying Unity3D - a computer 'language' which allows porting to virtually any device. If all goes well (and I'm not too old to learn anything new), then I'll rewrite the whole program in Unity. This would solve many problems, as the Unity Physics and Collision engines would cure pass-throughs. I'd also be able to run it on Oculus Rift and other Virtual Reality devices.

Unity3D is hard. You also have to learn C#.
