Koi Pond: Top iPhone App Store Paid App

When I first saw Koi Pond on my buddy’s iPhone I was wondering what the hoopla was all about. After I took some time to investigate further into Koi Pond, I bit the massive bullet and paid 99 cents for the app (I know, big spender!).

It has turned out to be one of the best apps to date in my collection, not only because it’s such a neat concept but because it’s simple…and…and…it works!

Is your cubicle life pretty boring? Having the Koi Pond paired up with the iPhone 3G dock beside your desk can bring some life to your stale work environment–plus people who see it for the first time love it! You can change the number of fish, lilypads, brightness, sounds, and color.

Here’s a pic of my current Koi Pond:

In the words of the creators (the Blimp Pilot crew):
Imagine gazing into a pond of crystal clear water. Picture bright, playful koi swimming through its shallow depth. 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…”

Here’s a quick video the creators have made for a recently updated version of Koi Pond:

So far, it’s been a great app that’s fun to have in your dock and friends love it too. The app has remained steady as the top app, but is periodically taken over by free apps that become paid. For 99 cents you can’t go wrong! Check it out here.

What are some of your favorite paid apps?

Hey,

Based on your review and reco, I spent big today too and got the Koi Pond. Fun little app. Great showcase app, though the fun last about 5 mins but it would look great as a screen saver on the docking craddle, which leads to a question I have, where do you get one for the 3G?

It looks nice, but definitely not polished. Ill just wait until they add some more features, like when the fish move, it moves the water above it as well.

I have this on my iPhone. It’s fun to show off. It be cool if you can grow virtual Koi or something. Or if when you place you finger in the water and the Koi come to nip at it, that the iPhone vibrates 😉

This would be great as a screen saver, like whenever you dock your iphone, it automatically starts this app.

If there’s one thing I hate about the iphone, it’s how apple makes us jump through hoops just to be able to customize it (summerboard and all).

Hey this is nice app video you share with us. I also want to share one new app with you just have a look at this app. This is new screen saver app for the Firework.

A fluorescent firework is filling your screen. A bundle of light follows your finger. Ever changing rainbow colors come down like a never ending meteor-shower. When you double tap on the screen the little shooting stars combust into thousands of particles. The composition of colors are beautiful and you won’t get bored watching the spectacle for hours. The truly amazing thing about this application is how well the automatic generation of particles blends together with the explicit control of your finger. It feels like your action is an extension of the intelligence that the light objects posses already. It’s a true unique application that has come to the iPhone that you will not regret buying. Oh and if you want to save your art you can simply use the screen capture function (hold home & lock) of the iPhone. Those patterns make for great artistic images for Christmas cards. Let the show begin!
