Welcome to the BetterMaps ZooMap app, Cincinnati Zoo version. Simple, fast and fun. Our app makes everyone’s day at the zoo better. Your phone got you to the zoo, now use it to show you around once you’re inside! Get instant directions to animals, restaurants, rides and attractions, bathrooms and water fountains. Our interactive map guides you to where you want to go. Don’t use those paper maps, they are not eco-friendly and they are difficult to read - Our mapping works even if you don't have a signal (web-based maps can't do that). ZooMap is not affiliated with the Cincinnati Zoo, but we love zoos and what they do for the community. When our CEO saw people enter the zoo and rush to a poorly executed wall map or try to navigate using outdated paper maps that are wasteful and not very eco-friendly. He knew we could help. Our goal is to increase your fun, while saving your time (and trees). Tap on screen icons, use the search bar or open main menu to find animals, food, rides and attractions – even bathrooms and water fountains on those hot days. Soon, you will be able to receive notifications concerning feeding times, ride closures or any other up to the minute information you need to have the best time possible in the zoo. ZooMap Features SAVE PARKING SPACE - Upon arrival you can save your parking location and BetterMaps will bring you right back to where you parked at the end of the day. GET TO KNOW THE ANIMALS - Use our menus to see pics, learn about the animals; then get mapped right to them. GET DIRECTIONS VIRTUALLY ANYWHERE IN THE ZOO - Find Animals, Exhibits, Rides, Restaurant and shopping, then click the MapMe walker icon. You will see how far and approximate time to walk there. Click Go and our live map will bring you to your destination. Veer off course and BetterMaps will adapt in real time. BE IN THE KNOW (ONLY IF ZOO PROVIDES THIS INFORMATION) - Receive notifications updating you on ride and animal closures - Receive discounts from surrounding businesses FOR BUSINESS OWNERS: MALLS, ZOOS, PARKS, MUNICIPALITIES, AMUSEMENT BetterMaps takes maps to a whole new level – the micro-level. We create maps for smaller spaces, such as zoos, amusement parks, cemeteries and even municipalities and outdoor malls. Use Google or Apple Maps to get you there, use BetterMaps to get around. check out our website: www.bettermaps.app ## Key features - Interactive zoo map - Real-time directions - Save parking location - Animal and exhibit information - Search for facilities and attractions - Offline map functionality ## Chart rankings - #60 in Top Paid · Navigation (US App Store) ## Recent user reviews (10 of 12) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/cincinnati-zoo-zoomap/id1584508250/reviews.md ### 5/5 — Great App! *2024-07-02* Easy to navigate, worked great! ### 5/5 — Great App! *2024-06-22* App was great - worked well and gave directions to all locations just like Google maps does. Can’t wait to use again. ### 1/5 — Utterly useless never seems to open. *2024-06-21* Wouldn’t open on my iPhone at the zoo. Back at my hotel on Wi-Fi on my iPad won’t open either. I’m sure Cincinnati zoo need the money more than I do, but they should still be ashamed of selling something so broken. ### 5/5 — Great map and informative *2023-10-06* Looks like they updated the map - all location seem to be right. Had no probs, great app. ### 1/5 — Next to useless *2023-08-25* You get no more info from it than you do from the signs in the zoo--because it's just some schlomos uploading zoo maps. Look at the Version text--it says Omaha. Are you in Omaha? I'm not. **Developer response:** Hello 'Morph - We do have an Omaha Zoo map, but we are not sure what you mean by Version text saying Omaha? That is another one of our apps, we have many of them - we are sorry if you were confused by the listing of other zoos in our inventory. Also, we have real-time wayfinding, which I don't think you get from signs at the zoo. Perhaps you are confusing our app with others who don't provide real-time directions, information, images and a beautiful map overlay of the zoo. We really wish you wouldn't write such a derogatory review when we go to extreme lengths to make this app the best it can be. Have a great day. - ZooMap Team ### 3/5 — Mostly helpful *2023-05-29* Map is out of date. Went on 5/25/2023 and the map was not current. Had to search for specific animals for a school field trip and some animals were not listed and could not be searched - the Komodo dragon was not listed at all. We followed the map to the Arctic fox but the enclosure no longer existed. Same for the polar bears. We had to ask zoo employees for assistance several times. A positive though - It was nice that the map showed you what direction to face, and once it’s all up to date, I think it’ll be a 5 star program. **Developer response:** Hello @mijacogeogkf - thank you for your important and valuable feedback. And I want to apologize and tell you that we are on it. We have already visited and started to make important changes on the app. We are adding all the new places in the zoo and we have started taking down the ones that no longer exist. I truly hope that you and all the zoo visitors give us another chance. Our app will be updated and a whole new map layer is being created and should be available very soon. Thank you again!! Feel free to contact me at any time - Michael@bettermaps.app. I am the owner and map builder. ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2023-05-16* I purchased this app because of the ‘interactive map’. Map had very little information and did not show locations that I searched for **Developer response:** I am sorry you feel that way. We are in the midst of updating the app and we hope you give us another chance. All locations are being updated now and should be completed very soon. You should see all the new locations the zoo added already (like the new shelter areas and the new carousel location). We are trying our best to bring you amazing interactive maps, we hope you give us another chance. Email me anytime with comments or suggestions @ Michael@bettermaps.app ### 1/5 — Incomplete + difficult to use *2023-05-11* This app is terrible, and you don't even find out until after you pay for it! There are irritating icons indicating food, exhibit, etc which largely-obscure the map so you aren't able to see an overview of the map when zoomed out. When zooming in, there are some sections of the zoo on the map that are blank, but in real life there are trails. Because all the icons block the overview of the zoo, you can click on the menu, select an exhibit, and "navigate" to it. However, it doesn't give you directions, the color of the line you're supposed to follow is almost the same color as the background, and there are no easy to follow waypoints. Also, the app of the zoo map is not the same as the physical maps at the zoo itself. This was the biggest waste of $0.99 I have ever spent! ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your dollar *2022-05-29* If you have the thought- I’ll just pay the dollar to get the map, don’t. There are labeled banners over every point of interest to the point you can’t actually view a zoomed out version of the map and identify where you want to go. They aren’t as bad if you’re zoomed in on your current spot but then you can’t see where you want to go **Developer response:** We thought that by having different labeled icons, then you could see the different POIs closest to you. Please understand: the POI icons are not banners - as banners give the impression that there is advertising and there is absolutely NO advertising on this app. But other users have asked for less POIs to clear up the map. So this is what we have done. Thank you so very much for your feedback - we hope that you like the app now that we have cleared away some of the POIs. ### 1/5 — Do not get!!! *2022-05-23* Nothing on the map was correct **Developer response:** Hello - I would just like to say that we have taken extra care to try to have everything on our map coincide with where they are in the zoo. If there have been mistakes, please tell us at anytime and we will fix immediately. You can send us an email at: michael@bettermaps.app (I am the owner. I want to make sure you only have the best experience with us). Thank you for your feedback. ## Frequently asked questions about Cincinnati Zoo ### What is Cincinnati Zoo - ZooMap?
