Ease of Use:  

The control panel is not as easy to use as others we've seen and might take a little longer to learn and understand for a novice user.

Feature Set:  

Aquatic Azure 3D has some fun features for users of all ages but the overall appearance of their aquarium screensaver doesn't seem to have the same realistic look and feel of some of the other virtual aquariums in our review.

Ease of Installation:  

We didn't experience any difficulties when installing Aquatica Azure 3D.

Help/Support:  

Aquatica Azure 3D offers some good help and support directly from their control panel. Under the help option of the control panel you can access a quick start guide, learn how to use the interface (control panel), download new features, and view a tutorial (this feature was not active yet).

Fish:  

If you use some of the common fish, like the scorpion fish or the yellow tang, then the appearance is fair. However, if you start to add species like the dolphins, then they begin to lose a realistic look. Aquatica Azure 3D also has talking fish-this might be a fun feature for kids.

Scenery:  

The scenery lacks some of the natural details like plant movement and waves or water movement that add credibility and liveliness to the aquarium. This is especially apparent in the bomber wreckage aquarium where the image looks more like a computer game graphic.

Aquatica Azure 3D is average aquarium screensaver software that could use some improvements in their scenery and in the quality of their fish. However, a feature that allows you the freedom of creation sets this product apart.
