User reviews

I would rate a 0 if I could

The developer heavily relies on Generative AI to develope the imagery of the animals. The developer uses Generative AI for a zoology-type-nature app, and then doubles down on promotional-esque posts when the people who the developer is advertising to speak their concerns. Whether or not the topic is about GenAI or not, it's the principle about seeing how the developer speaks to people outside of the App Store reviews that made me delete my file and delete the app. I will not support a rude and reflective developer.

Phenomenal

Such a brilliant game, outdoors, animals, science, depth, fun, games it has it all!

Response from developer

Thank you!

Fun and informative

Cool little game. ‘Catch’ animals with a net and use them for battling other wilds animals. You photo the animal to start a battle! Fun to use on walks. I caught a grey seal with help from my horsefly and Canadian goose!

Response from developer

Awesome, thanks! I am adding new features every week at the moment!

What?

I must be missing something. The game is free to download but you can’t actually try it until you pick a subscription plan? How do I know what plan I want (if any) if I can’t try the game?

Response from developer

Hey, the game uses image recognition to identify real animals, so it has to be paid or it couldn't exist! I will update the game text so this is clear. I built the whole game myself over the last few months, we have hundreds of players worldwide. Let me know if you would like me to send you any more info on the game to help you decide, you can email the support email address and I can answer any questions. I would appreciate if you could update your review as this determines whether the game can exist, based on people finding it. Happy to answer any questions!

Great concept and continues to improve

Really enjoying the design and focus on exploring. Makes my hikes, dog walks, and disc golf rounds much more interesting now.

Response from developer

Awesome, thank you. More updates & improvements coming every few days! We also have a discord, you can find it in the app about page (bot of main Menu).
