And no, I'm not learning anything from this. I already know the obvious facts of these animals. Plus, many of the animals have camouflage when the app says they don't. ### 4/5 — Recheck Facts *2016-04-18, version 1.0* It's a good game to learn more about animals. However, I noticed a lot of incorrect facts about some animals. For example house geckos lay soft shelled eggs. Not hard. I'm not a biologist or herpetologist but I've noticed a few big mistakes. Also. Maybe I'm just super technical but some questions I know I answer correctly end up being incorrect. Still a great game though!!! ### 4/5 — Ok *2016-04-14, version 1.0* It's good just it said that cockroach could fly they can't and some of them are wrong ### 2/5 — Classify it *2015-03-26, version 1.0* When you go to select an item and classify it it shows up as a completely different topic. I'm not sure if this is only on my device or if it is the app itself. ### 2/5 — Cool idea - but these guys need a fact checker *2015-01-16, version 1.0* AAAS - I love you, but I expect better of you. There are a ridiculous number of errors in this game. It reads like someone with a decent knowledge of biology pulled it out straight of their brain and didn't do any research. It desperately a fact checker. I mean, really. Elephants are domesticated? Mallards aren't? Seahorses aren't endangered? Jellyfish migrate? Salamanders aren't endangered? Just to name a few.... If you're curious, the definition of domestication involves selective breeding over generations, to then point of alteration. The ONLY two ducks to have been domesticated are the Muscovy and the mallard. And elephants are? No. They're captive animals, some are tame animals- but they're not domestic. Humans have a huge history of using them for labor, but their long life span, late age of sexual maturity, and slow reproductive rate makes the kind of breeding needed for true domestication impossible. Generally, when new elephants were needed, they just grabbed more from the wild. And jellyfish... Migrate? I think you have "travel long distances" confused with "migrate." Jellyfish have little to no control over where they go. The currents push them around seasonally. They do not migrate. And some estimates say that half of all species of sea horses are threatened with extinction, primarily due to habitat loss. Salamanders are endangered - in fact, an alarmingly large number of amphibian species are. They're the canary in a coal mine - because of their semi-permeable skin they pick but up on most pollutants. I'll let you say that walruses aren't endangered. In reality, the IUCN classifies them as data deficient. But their populations have been decreasing. Listen, as someone who works in youth science outreach, I was really happy that AAAS made an educational app for kids. I wish it wasn't such a disappointment. ### 3/5 — Multiple errors *2014-09-28, version 1.0* Apparently shedding skin cells and hair doesn't count as shedding for humans and they must not know what counter shading is because they don't believe that penguins have camouflage. These are just a few of the errors I noticed. I deleted it after only a few rounds. ### 5/5 — JenniferK *2014-09-18, version 1.0* This app is excellent! As someone who tutors students in math and science, including biology, I think this is a fun way to learn about all types of creatures. Now we just need an app that makes math fun! ### 5/5 — Great for NGSS *2014-09-18, version 1.0* I thought this app was very intuitive and should be easy for students to navigate and use. Although the design is simple, the content is anything but. It requires students know a fair amount about plants and animals. I think this app is particularly timely, for the NGSS as the first of the cross-cutting concepts in the NGSS has to do with Patterns and includes classification as a key activity. ### 5/5 — Excellent game and learning tool (even for adults) *2014-09-15, version 1.0* The game moves along well and is a challenge for those who are at all ends of the learning spectrum. Young students will find the Easy-level matching tough, and even learned, science-minded users will find the hardest setting a good puzzle. Gameplay is smooth and intuitive, with clear explanation of how to play. ### 4/5 — At least one error *2014-09-12, version 1.0* I've just started playing with this and I've already found an error. Carpenter ants fly, or at least some of them do some of the time. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — This was amazing, but now it’s not updated and it won’t work anymore! *2019-10-09, version 1.0* I’m a teacher in grade one and two. My students enjoy using this app very much. Last year the developer never updated the app, so it doesn’t work on our iPads anymore. I wish so badly they would update it, it was a great tool to help my students classify animals and to just learn so many facts about animals. So the one star, is because we can’t use it! Otherwise, it would definitely get five stars plus plus plus. ### 1/5 — Please update for ios11+ use *2019-09-26, version 1.0* Does not work beyond ios11. Needs update. My kids enjoy this app and they accidentally updated my phone and now the app won’t open due to incapability with ios11. ### 1/5 — DON'T PLAY THIS GAME!!!!!!! *2019-05-26, version 1.0* every time I hit classify,I get them all right but then it says that I chose more than I actually did and says that they are all wrong!😡 ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on devices with iOS 11 :( *2017-11-04, version 1.0* Doesn’t work on devices with iOS 11. Shame:( Will change my rating if the app developer updates this app. ### 1/5 — No iOS 11 *2017-09-20, version 1.0* I was using this app for extra credit but now can’t because of iOS 12 ### 1/5 — Not impressed! *2015-05-25, version 1.0* Glitch in system that marks you wrong for animals you haven't even selected! Shame, it could be a good learning game otherwise. ### 2/5 — Pls update for latest iOS *2018-05-22, version 1.0* We love this app in our class and it is disappointing that it won’t work on our iPads ### 2/5 — Update for new IOS *2018-02-16, version 1.0* Love this app for my students but now we can’t use the app because it needs to be updated. ### 2/5 — Fix your app please *2017-12-20, version 1.0* How can you put out an app that marks as incorrect answers that weren't selected? If this glitch is fixed I may reinstall it ### 2/5 — For my 4yo is ok, but there are errors *2017-06-09, version 1.0* I've found several errors on this app, like octopuses not being invertebrates?! And the migration and nest making answers are very debatable. For my 4yo is ok on "easy mode", but there are many errors. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Hello *2020-01-26, version 1.0* A really fun game to learn about animals and plants and so on. But since I got a newer update I can’t play it anymore could the creators please adapt the game so I could play it again. ### 5/5 — By Zoe *2018-07-29, version 1.0* Best educational game ever!

We are both learning!!!! When we get a wrong answer we go back and review it....learn from it...and keep on learning....thank you. ### 5/5 — Not bad *2015-11-12, version 1.0* This app is ok and I would not advise it if your Australian can can't be bothered to read anything. ### 5/5 — App review *2014-11-21, version 1.0* This is a very good app for sixth and seventh graders learning earth and life science. Good way to review and/or learn the information. ### 5/5 — Woahh! *2014-10-08, version 1.0* My sister is not the smartest in the grade, but after this game her topic was about classifying and she even got a certificate of smartest and fastest and she's only 8!! I recommend for any age!0-infinity ❤️❤️❤️🙌🙌🙌✔️✔️✔️ ### 5/5 — Classify It *2014-09-28, version 1.0* Love the educational game. It is colorful and appealing for Chilean but it is not as easy as it appears. I just stayed on the easy level and have gotten things wrong! Really! Humbling. Everything isn't obvious. Will see if you school and put it up on our computers for the students. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
