  Marine Life

About this app

This free educational application is a nice collection of about fifty high-resolution pictures of marine animals, a glimpse into their beautiful aquatic world. Suitable for people of any age, this virtual dive allows the exploration of the most interesting species that live in the salt water of the seas or oceans. Moreover, you can find out a few data about their habitat, along with some of their distinct body features. Each page displays a unique marine species; you can zoom in, zoom out and translate a little its current image. If there are orientation sensors, a gyroscopic effect will be present all the time, slightly rotating the image in accordance with your moves. This app is mainly designed for tablets (landscape orientation), but it works fine on the modern phones too (Android 5 or newer).

 

 

How it works

The intro page contains four small buttons: Play, Settings, Favorites and Information.

Play starts your dive into the world of marine animals. There are three navigation buttons at the bottom: Left, Right and Up/down - which are self-explanatory. The upper-left one, Home, sends you to the intro page, while the upper-right one, About, displays a short description of the current life form. Also, you can zoom in, zoom out and translate a little the current image. If there are orientation sensors, a gyroscopic effect will be present all the time, slightly rotating the image in accordance with your moves. All of these buttons fade away within a few seconds; a double or a long tap, anywhere on the screen, will show them back.

Settings displays the settings page; there are a few options you can enable or disable: text to speech, background music, gyro effects and the animal names. Also, you can set the volume of the background music and the opacity of the navigation buttons.

Favorites shows you the list of all our applications listed on the Google Play store, while Information displays this description page.
