Great map for while in the zoo
Great idea but if you’re pushing a stroller the routes the app suggests aren’t always suitable.
The app could use an accessible route mode to make it helpful for people using wheels to get around.
The zoo itself does have accessible options but we expected this app to consider that.
Very little signal in the park, some dead zones so a good part of the time the map was useless.
Stick to the website it’s free. Does the same thing. This app is a rip off. You already pay so much to enter the zoo and they make you pay for a virtual map too. Rip off

So sorry you feel that way - but we are NOT part of or working with the Bronx Zoo - this is why we are charging you. We didn't want to inundate our users with tons of ads, so we ask for $1.99. But as you can see from the other reviews, most people find it very useful and that's what we try to provide. Thank you for your comments, we hope you change your mind about our maps in the future.

Hello AppReviewer99445827 -
We are so glad that you found the app useful. Thank you very much for 5-stars - we really do try to create the best apps for our users. Have a wonderful day!
- Team BetterMapsThis app may be useful when you’re at the zoo, but not when you’re planning your trip. 1) The menu is not useful outside the zoo: If I find the butterfly garden in the list of experiences, the app should show me the location. But outside the zoo, the app can’t show you how to walk there, so it won’t highlight the butterflies on the map. 2) The map is also not useful outside the zoo: it’s too overwhelmed by the many large icons. Let me choose which icons to see! If I’m using public transit, let me hide the parking icons; if I’m not buying food, let me hide the food icons.

Hello @1M0A0T1T1 -
Thank you for your comments. No, we are not accessible outside the zoo as it would actually map you from wherever you are back to the zoo - so if you were in Phoenix, AZ you would be mapped from there to the zoo and it would make your experience worse. Also, the mapping and information is all meant to be used within the confines of the zoo itself for a more natural feel.
As for the icons - you have a good point. We are trying to take more icons off the map so that it doesn't look so confusing and we think your idea of allowing users to choose the groups of icons is a good one, so look out for this in future releases of the BetterMaps app.
Thank you again for your comments and suggestions. Loved it!
