There is a couple of things though that could be better. I completed all of my quests and I am was going to claim my box and it kept saying that my internet was bad and to try again when it was perfectly fine so maybe if it doesn’t work by Monday I would like to be refunded. And one last thing that could be better is that you should add more things to do. But overall this is a great app and is very underrated. ### 4/5 — Definitely better than it was when it first came out *2026-07-31* It’s fun. They changed the system a lot from what it was like when it first came out and I think it’s better now👍 ### 4/5 — Really good but *2026-07-28* It’s really good but it randomly signed me out and won’t send my Gmail account the reset password link when I click forgot password and won’t let me Sign in with Apple and when I click Sign in with Apple It says secure random values are unavailable for Apple sign in **Developer response:** This should be fixed now! ### 4/5 — Great game! *2026-07-17* It’s a really good game, and it’s really fun to play and actually makes me go outside and touch the green stuff on the floor! There’s a problem though, the camera quality on the app is really bad, and when I took a picture it looked like a blur and the ai will Just say “bird” or “brown bird”, also commonly making mistakes, I took a picture of a dog and got an OP coyote, my friend took a picture of a catfish and got an OP whale. Also, cheating is too easy. I made a second account for cheating, and by just taking pictures from google I got a liger, woolly mammoth, blobfish, great white shark and a gorilla in a few minutes. This breaks the game. It is useful If the ai guesses the animal you caught wrong, so you can just go on google and find the animal there with high quality. Please improve the camera quality!!! ### 4/5 — Fun but *2026-07-17* I asked my friend to trade me so i could beat the megalodon and he gave me his megalodon and it said i defeated the boss when i didn’t so i traded it back to my friend but it still wont let me get the megalodon and now i cant get it ### 4/5 — Nice app *2026-07-15* This app is so fun! But i think the battles screen should be more actual battles instead of just a picture. Kinda like pokemon where they are on a playing field ### 4/5 — Good game *2026-07-12* It is a very fun game but I came here to why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 and that is because if you ever run out gems you just can’t play anymore unless you spend hours BioSnap ping the same animal over and over again ### 4/5 — Love your game but I have an Idea for you *2026-07-10* I love the game although it would be cool if you added a flash feature to the hunting system so that you can find animals that are more active at night ### 4/5 — Good game *2026-07-09* Very fun concept but I have a few things I want to do. When you see an animal it can disappear very quickly so I dont have the time to snap a picture on this and my photos app so an export option would be cool. Also I went on a remote camping trip recently and saw a lot of cool wild life but could take a picture because there was no WiFi so I couldn’t take a picture. Most of the coolest animals live in places with no WiFi. So adding WiFi just to save the pictures would be cool. Over all fun game and cool concept. ### 4/5 — Alright game *2026-07-05* It’s a good game but the arena has to be rigged evade doesn’t do anything and I missed a 80% accurate move 4 times in a row which is a 0.16% chance TWICE. Other than that and the overpriced shop designed so you can’t afford any animals unless you spend money, it’s a pretty good game. ### 5/5 — So peak *2026-07-05* This game is like Pokémon GO but better in my opinion because it gives you more of a reason to go outside and you don’t need any fancy in that purchases or whatever to get any animals. All you really need is just to find one and get a photo of it and then you unlock that animal And that just is such a great idea, and what not in my opinion because I love going outside and taking photos of animals and now this gives me more of an incentive to like take photos of animals. I normally won’t like bugs or whatever. ### 4/5 — Really awesome! But.. *2026-07-04* So today I was doing BioSnap and I wanted to change my profile picture, which at the time was my dog as a literal picture, but when I went onto it, it wouldn’t let me change it to a picture, I had to change it to an avatar that I got to pick, but I would still prefer pictures. OVERALL that’s my only complaint. PLEASE ADD PICTURES AS YOUR PROFILE PIC BACK 🙏 ### 5/5 — Bio *2026-07-04* This finally got me outside ### 5/5 — Great game! But please zoom *2026-07-04* This game looks amazing, and I’m really looking forward to playing it, but to “catch” certain wildlife that scares easily or are too small to get a good frame, I feel that it would be nice to have a zoom feature. A flash for night time would also be nice ### 5/5 — SO AWESOME *2026-07-03* It helps me figure out animals that I didn’t know ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-07-03* Honestly this game is perfect (and it made me want to go back inside and play Pokémon) ### 3/5 — Nerf the enemies *2026-07-02* The enemies are too op ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Worst update in all of app history *2026-07-04* I was having fun with the app before the latest update, maybe even something worth 5 stars. BUT they just released an update so bad it triggered me. The patch notes would say it’s a good update, the patch notes DONT SAY that they removed zooming in on the camera mode, significantly removing the skill ceiling as now you have to literally get so close to the animal to get a good pic of it. Also, they increased the prices in the item shop significantly, mythics went from costing 2000 to 6000 for no apparent reason. Fix your game ### 1/5 — So bad *2026-06-24* The idea of the game is so cool but the game isn’t executed well. So many glitches, takes forever to load, and also my animals be disappearing. **Developer response:** All of the glitches are fixed! Our app grew too big for our database. All updated now! Hope you can enjoy again! ### 1/5 — Can’t sign up *2026-06-24* Every time I try to sign up it gives an error message **Developer response:** All of the glitches are fixed! Our app grew too big for our database. All updated now! Hope you can enjoy again! ### 2/5 — Huge gem duping bug *2026-08-03* I have found a bug in the game that includes the dark mode setting. When you click the dark mode setting you will get sent to the daily reward screen and have the ability to claim your daily rewards a second time. And yes you can do it multiple times. Other than that I enjoy the game tons. Update! today my account was wiped from the game. I was logged out of my account and my password and Gmail wouldn’t work. So now I have nothing but a starter. ### 2/5 — New update Zoom *2026-07-05* Before the update I could zoom into 40 X using my phones natural Zoom after the update the app only lets me zoom into like 4.3 Which is really counterintuitive because I used to be able to zoom way farther out and get animals that were way farther away like I got a bald eagle but it was in a tree and I was on a lake and I can’t get super close to bald eagle so I had to use the zoom on my phone but because of the new update I can no longer do that and it would not be able to get a clear scan. Please make it so I can access my phone’s full capabilities with Zoom. **Developer response:** App grew too big too quick! All fixed now! Try again, hope you will enjoy! ### 2/5 — Fighting isnt good *2026-06-25* The fighting in this game sucks i was fighting and i missed my attack 6 times in a row, they should make the odds of a successful attack like 80 percent instead of 50 and the fighting is also super slow, it takes so long to get to attack also sometimes animals are overpowered i was fighting a bird with a rhino and the bird had better stats than my rhino. **Developer response:** This is being fixed in the next update! 1.7.0 is a full battle revamp! ### 2/5 — Broken *2026-06-24* I did a session and left the app says restoring session but it doesn’t restore please help me fix my account **Developer response:** All of the glitches are fixed! Our app grew too big for our database. All updated now! Hope you can enjoy again! ### 2/5 — Can’t sign in *2026-06-24* I can’t sign in I’ve tried Google and Apple account and it just loads for a bit and pops up an error screen. **Developer response:** All of the glitches are fixed! Our app grew too big for our database. All updated now! Hope you can enjoy again! ### 2/5 — Wont work *2026-06-24* Wont let me sign up and gives long error message but very cool concept **Developer response:** App grew too big too quick! All fixed now! Try again, hope you enjoy! ### 2/5 — Scanning *2026-06-24* Every time I or my freinds try to scan we get the same error clean else’s and try again so we clean the les and try again and the same error I am yet to get even one animal to work and this needs to be fixed maybe the ai just can’t read the animals or just a little glitch that needs to get fixed but whatever it may be I please ask to fix it quickly because it is annoying and makes the game unplayable and not enjoyable ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good education *2026-08-30* Very educational and also a fun game similar to pokemon go ### 5/5 — This game is goated *2026-08-25* Love this game can’t wait for next update ### 5/5 — An idea. *2026-08-03* 5us may be a lot,but if you could,make a feature that lets you “Craft” new animals by taking the rarity from one,Family from one and average stats from another. You do not have to do it,but it is an idea ### 5/5 — Amazing game *2026-08-02* It’s so fun and I love the updates ### 5/5 — The game was azimuth *2026-07-28* This is good I’m 10 years old btw ### 5/5 — Arena *2026-07-22* Very fun game however the battle mechanics can feel very unfair especially when it’s completely up to chance what type of animal you face up against. The accuracy is also too much luck based where a 70% chance to hit and attack feels more like a 20% chance to hit ### 5/5 — AWSOOOOOOOME GAAAAAAAAME! *2026-07-13* Hi If you’re the creator of the game who’s reading this I’m an 8 year old boy anyway your game is so AWSOME! Make some more like it I’d prefer rocket ship games if you don’t mind or some games about outer space? ### 5/5 — Developer, pls read! *2026-07-09* I have been interested in birds lately-now I get to see all kids of different animals! The info it gives is amazing! Works pretty much for everything, and the zoom in feature is great! But it couldn’t identify spider eggs, and I’d like for it to identify diff plants, flowers, and trees. Thank you for making the app tho, I don’t think I have ever been more curious! ### 5/5 — Awesome game *2026-07-07* It’s so fun collecting animals and using them to fight each other while levelling them up. It would be cool if you could show off your animals to people who click your profile. ### 5/5 — Great game! *2026-07-05* This game looks amazing, and I’m really looking forward to playing it, but to “catch” certain wildlife that scares easily or are too small to get a good frame, I feel that it would be nice to have a zoom feature. A flash for night time would also be nice Edit: The day after I made this review, the dev added a zoom! 5 stars, no notes. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
