### 3/5 — Bug

*2025-12-29*

J’apprécie cette application mais le problème est que quand on fait un animal, une partie du corps disparaît (comme le bec, la queue, les yeux…) ce qui est embêtant. Sinon l’application est vraiment bien : on peut voir comment nage un animal imaginaire, le faire voler…

### 3/5 — Good, I guess

*2025-10-19, version 1.30*

I just have one complaint whenever I try to delete a creature it doesn’t delete

### 4/5 — Really good…but

*2025-09-13*

I really love this game, it’s so fun and creative and I really enjoy it! I have had it for like three days…and I’ve had some wired glitches like all of my creatures disappearing from the land water and sky. Also I wish I could have more options when building my creatures. And also when decorating my island I wish there was more of everything, trees, food, and plants. It’s kinda limited. But overall this is a really fun game and i recommend it, especially for younger kids! Also no annoying adds or in app purchases!!!

### 4/5 — It needs all the parts and places to play and put mountains and waterfalls and the jungle and caves

*2025-02-09*

Snek it out we need everything and others and more and more!

### 4/5 — It’s ok

*2024-11-15, version 1.30*

I would give you five, IF I COULD ACTUALY DELETE THE HORRIBLE CREATURES. If there’s a way, it does not work.

### 4/5 — 怎么喂动物吃食物

*2023-11-01*

还玩，但一直不确定怎么喂动物

### 4/5 — Can’t delete animals

*2023-10-10*

Plz fix

### 3/5 — Fun when I got but it just lame

*2023-09-03, version 1.30*

I liked it for 1 week but then I was like this is really boring and never played it again 😒

### 4/5 — Really good for all ages

*2023-07-14*

This app is great! I spent a while on it. I love how you can name the creatures and breed them. I know a lot of people say “needs more” and “I’m bored now” but this app is for 4,5,6 and 7 year olds. (You can still get an hour of fun if you’re a teen though)
Overall this is a great app.

**Developer response:** Thanks!

### 4/5 — Just one thing😑

*2023-06-08*

It’s a fun game but it ALWAYS deletes my creatures.PLZ FIX THIS GLITCH!

### 4/5 — ステージ増やしの希望

*2022-10-22*

楽しいけどそのうち動物でぱんぱんになって一部の種族が使われない世界になってしまうから第二世界とか実装して欲しいと思う

### 2/5 — Сад животных

*2022-06-27*

Безобразие- у животных, когда их выпускаешь в мир отсутствуют части тела: ноги, глаза и рот. Играть невозможно!!!

### 5/5 — 好玩

*2022-05-21*

真的很有创意！资源再丰富的话就完美了！

### 4/5 — Good Game, but not worth the money.

*2022-05-13*

This is a very good game, and I’m enjoying playing it a lot, but eventually you run out of things to do. This game is not worth the money, because the fun you have with it is limited once you’ve done everything.

### 2/5 — Fehlerhaft

*2022-03-25*

Ich habe es mal vor ein paar Jahren gespielt und es hat mir sehr viel Spaß gemacht,leider funktioniert das Spiel nicht mehr vernünftig.ich wäre sehr glücklich darüber wenn es gefixt werden würde

### 1/5 — У животных отсутствуют части тела

*2025-03-17*

Когда доделал свое животное и выпускаешь его в мир у него отсутствуют части тела хотя ты их ставил? Почему! Это одна из самых отвратительных игр которую я только видел! Я за неё заплатил деньги тогда верните их! И подскажите как с вами связаться!

### 1/5 — Added app by mistake, now can’t delete

*2023-12-20*

Игра суперская ну только есть одна проблема У меня ограниченное количество конечностей

### 1/5 — Liars

*2022-06-20, version 1.2.1*

I have been looking at reviews and they agree there isn’t enough stuff, however i look at the response and most say there is a new update and when I look up this app, it shows things that are not in the game! I open the app, it doesn’t say update or show new body parts! Please add the update now!

### 1/5 — Problèmes enregistrements

*2022-02-08*

Très bonne appli mais les animaux crées ne s’enregistrent pas dans leur totalité. Ils manquent la tête ou le nom.Dommage pour une application payante

### 1/5 — Keeps the screen up

*2021-08-15, version 1.1.5*

The screen keeps going up whenever I look at my flying creatures and also sometimes when I place a lot of rubber duckies my swimming creature sometimes misses one!

### 1/5 — Help AGAIN

*2020-10-09*

I can't download the app! When I try to download, it says, "The Creature Garden can not be downloaded this time." Help.

**Developer response:** Oh no! I am sorry - that sounds frustrating! Can you please email us at support@tinybop.com with some more information so that we can figure out what might be going on? Please make sure you are connected to the internet and have enough storage available on your device. Thanks!

### 1/5 — Something’s wrong

**Developer response:** I'm sorry that sounds frustrating! Please try deleting and reinstalling the app. If you are still having trouble, could you please email us at support@tinybop.com with some more information so that we can better assist you? Thanks!

### 1/5 — Can’t download to my new iPad

*2020-06-11*

I purchased the complete TinyBop set years ago and loved playing it with my grandkids. I recently tried to open the games and found that I have to reload them, okay — but every time I try it tells me the loading failing. I paid something like $20 for the set of games. This is truly sucky! I would give a five star review except my grandkids and I can’t play the games !!!!

**Developer response:** Hi! I am so sorry - that sounds frustrating! Please make sure you are signed in with the same Apple ID you used to purchase the bundle. If you are still having trouble, you might want to try deleting and reinstalling the apps. Please email us at support@tinybop.com so that we can better assist you. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Like 5 stars

*2026-06-10*

I like this game because it has tons of parts to make abominations,and even though my creatures are disappearing for no reason,I think it is happening because of starving to death in the game btw,I would like to see more parts for the next update

### 5/5 — It’s great, but…

*2026-05-03, version 1.30*

I like it it’s just that can you add more limbs that you can make animals out of if you don’t wanna do it. That’s fine with me.

### 5/5 — Boomers

*2025-12-11*

Request..I find I recall the names best when I see them in whimsical animations. Please make some college aged or older content . I would love an app for lichens, or soil microbes etc. I have almost all of your line of apps for my grandkids, now my turn!!

### 5/5 — Why is a rabbit used for this game…

*2025-10-22*

In the treadmill feature of the game when training to run there is a rabbit but why didn’t they use a cheetah instead of the rabbit?

### 5/5 — Amazing for little ones.

*2025-04-16*

This game is very fun and creative. I would say it’s especially fun for animal lovers. It is add free and completely free. No purchases needed. If you want a game for you little ones and don’t want any extra adds or any adds at all for that matter and a game that is completely free, this is the game for you.

### 5/5 — Great game but a bug to report

*2024-09-28*

When I try to delete a creature and I press the trash button after it asks me to delete the creature, it doesn’t work.

### 5/5 — Apple Arcade game?

*2024-07-09, version 1.30*

I love story mode on things that go bump you have to bring
The app back! I trust you to do it!

### 5/5 — 哈哈哈

*2023-10-05*

我一个初中生居然把它当作无防沉迷游戏来玩了

**Developer response:** I am so sorry - thank you so much for your patience as we update our apps! If you have any other feedback or questions for us, please email us at support@tinybop.com. Thanks!

### 5/5 — 有人2023年还在玩吗

*2023-07-12*

2023

### 5/5 — Eras

*2022-08-31*
