So, is this an outdated application or is this group not relevant anymore? ### 3/5 — Outdated and slow *2022-01-30, version 1.0.1* I like this app overall, but it is really outdated and the are no recent reports. Also, it takes about ten years for the map to load, and the problem isn’t my phone. Pretty good, but needs updating. ### 3/5 — UPDATE *2021-11-25, version 1.0.1* This app would be great IF it was updated. The most recent sighting was 7 years ago. I’m sure there’s new reports by now. ### 2/5 — Someone needs to update *2020-11-29, version 1.0.1* This would be an excellent app for Bigfoot enthusiasts, if someone would actually update it. With the last tecorded sightings being 6+ years old. ### 4/5 — It's really good but... *2020-09-01, version 1.0.1* There needs to be more new reports, that's pretty much it. The rest of it is awesome ### 1/5 — No database updates *2020-01-18, version 1.0.1* Waste of time if you’re looking for fresh information. Nothing shows up newer than 2014. When you try to get updates it just says “server error”. Its been broken like this for months and apparently no one is interested in fixing it. You’ll have to use the website if you want to be up to date! ### 3/5 — Is actually good *2019-10-12, version 1.0.1* Other apps like this stay frozen with the same reports for years ### 1/5 — How about some recent info? *2019-09-14, version 1.0.1* Most recent info on the app is five years old?!?!? Come on!! ### 2/5 — Update *2019-04-07, version 1.0.1* This site isn’t updated. ### 3/5 — Could Be Better *2019-04-06, version 1.0.1* Did not update latest sightings. I had to go to menu and choose to update, which then pulled in 30 new reports. Should just stay up to date all the time. Also, there are no new reports. The most recent reports are 15 months old. And certain menu options cause app to terminate. I wish the data was up to date. ### 1/5 — Worthless *2019-03-03, version 1.0.1* This app needs a serious overhaul and Apple should pull it off of their service. The app hasn’t had bugs worked out and seems to have been festering since 2014. It crashed several times today (3-3-2019) after uploading and continually states “your credentials can not be verified” when trying to use several features inside this app. This app (about Bigfoot) will drive you “ape”. ### 1/5 — Map sightings *2018-10-28, version 1.0.1* They aren’t showing up in the app ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No updates *2024-10-22, version 1.0.1* New sightings on this app stop at 2014. BFRO shows new sightings for 2024. What gives? Sync it up boyeeez. ### 1/5 — Ron *2023-08-08, version 1.0.1* The BFRO has become about worthless. Seldom updated website. The app isn’t any better. Too many kooks involved with the Bigfoot world. Real science has gone out the window and now it left to fools running through the forest beating on trees and screaming their heads off. They actually think this will attract a very elusive and secretive creature. Television’s hype has caused real science to vacate the subject and unfortunately put real research on the back burner. The app does nothing to reinforce true research. It only adds to the ridiculous notions that these creatures are hiding around every tree in the woods. Bigfoot in Kansas? Give me a break. But nevertheless the television Bigfoot stars will try to convince you this is true. Hopefully real serious science minded researchers will some day put together an app and website that is truthful and actually useful. Don’t waste your time with this app ### 1/5 — Dead app *2023-05-14, version 1.0.1* This is a dead app, meaning it hasn’t been updated in over 10 years. Don’t bother with it. ### 1/5 — iPhone App *2023-04-19, version 1.0.1* I downloaded the BFRO app, and it is nothing like it is on my computer! The most recent reports are 2014! I love the computer download, but the IPhone app (to me) is useless! Come on Matt! ### 1/5 — Useless. *2023-01-21, version 1.0.1* The map is empty. Tells me can’t verify credentials. No idea how the app works or what it does. The latest reports show 2014 sightings. Just lame lame lame… deleted. 👎… why don’t we have options for -5 stars so others will know how bad and useless app it is? ### 1/5 — Not updated since 2014 *2022-02-15, version 1.0.1* Don’t waste your time. This app has not been updated since 2014. Why have an app? I really thought this was going to be a cool app. Do better BFRO. ### 1/5 — Not *2021-11-24, version 1.0.1* The app is not up to date and not worth having. ### 1/5 — Not current *2021-09-20, version 1.0.1* Y’all really need to update the reports.I think the latest one I’ve seen is 2014 and it’s 2021. ### 1/5 — Active? *2021-08-30, version 1.0.1* It’s now 2021 and it still doesn’t look like there have been any entries since 2014. ### 1/5 — Old data *2021-04-06, version 1.0.1* Are there updates for the data in 2021? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Heads up *2024-10-18, version 1.0.1* This app helps you plan your next vacation (if you are into Squatching) Plus it gives detail info about the sightings in your state and helps you to be a better researcher ### 5/5 — Glitch *2022-12-26, version 1.0.1* This app is very useful to my team and I. I was just trying to let you good kind folks know that the app has been very glitchy lately, and cannot really browse any reports anymore. It will update new reports, but you cannot browse through the app other than that, I give it five stars. ### 5/5 — It is very good for information *2022-04-02, version 1.0.1* It is good ### 5/5 — Nice *2021-07-21, version 1.0.1* I am glad someone is doing this. Even if is is Matt Moneymaker. He may be a little crazy but he sure does have a passion for the truth. ### 5/5 — Best Database on Bigfoot *2021-05-25, version 1.0.1* This is the absolute best database on Bigfoot sightings and activity. Matt Moneymaker is brilliant for designing and building this tool. If properly used, this database could drive significant research into the Bigfoot field. ### 5/5 — Good app *2020-11-10, version 1.0.1* It does what it says - totally functional too ### 5/5 — Love it !!!! *2019-06-22, version 1.0.1* I wish the tv show would come back. I miss BoBo ### 5/5 — Update *2018-08-11, version 1.0.1* Update the app to show you actually care. ### 5/5 — Yes it’s real *2018-03-10, version 1.0.1* Looks, sounds, acts yes it’s real! ### 5/5 — Bigfoot had lunch with me on his spaceship *2017-03-16, version 1.0.1* He's real and I know it. One life changing night, I was curling up in my bed when Bigfoot came bursting through the window. I was entranced by his beautiful brown eyes and majestic black hair. My life has never been the same after I met the love of my life. We've had seven Bigfoot kids on our spaceship. This app helped me find this life. ❤️ --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
