### 3/5 — Good but not great

*2025-05-09, version 4.0.0*

You can download your photos but cannot download or watch the videos

### 5/5 — Mis fotografías

*2022-08-25, version 4.0.0*

Hola tuve un problema con las fotografías y hoy era la fecha en que expiraban y jamás pude ingresar para recuperarlas podrían ayudarme!!

### 5/5 — Great experience

*2022-08-18, version 4.0.0*

Easy process - pick your photos in the store, upload app and access on mobile or website (it doesn’t work on iPad) and enjoy your photos.

### 1/5 — Photos I can’t download

*2022-07-16, version 4.0.0*

So after spending hundreds of dollars on our visit to dolphin Cove, Montego Bay. Such a brilliant morning. Get back to the UK, download the app on to my iPad to retrieve my photos. I can’t download them. No hard copies printed t the actual place. And like I can just travel back, nope. Also I’ll only be able to look at them for a further 2 weeks before they are lost! What a scam! Download Encoding error! Cheers for ripping us off!

### 1/5 — DO NOT PURCHASE

*2022-05-26, version 4.0.0*

This is a scam you the code will not work

### 5/5 — Disregard the 1 star reviews

*2021-12-07, version 4.0.0*

App works perfectly fine. They say use their wifi and you can download the photos within 24 hours. I was able to download the photos within 30 minutes after the dolphin experience. Follow instructions correctly and you can download them just fine. Quality is great too.

### 1/5 — Horrible Scam!

*2021-07-12, version 4.0.0*

If you can, have them to print your pictures and just capture the picture with your phone if you want digital. We were told our pics would be ready in 24 hours. Once I scanned the barcode, it says it hasn’t been activated. Then when I went online, it says it has been deactivated. We even sent them an email with no response.

### 1/5 — Incompetent

*2020-12-24, version 3.0.7*

This app was created by someone who knows nothing about apps!!! It’s the worst app ever because it DOES NOT WORK!! Leave app creation to the tech savvy people and you go back to work for KFC!!

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2020-07-07, version 3.0.7*

I loved it it was amazing it downloaded it in seconds

### 2/5 — Troquei o aparelho celular e perdi todas as fotos salvas

*2020-05-27, version 3.0.7*

Comprei e Baixei as fotos, porém quando troquei de celular  perdi tudo, pois não é possível recuperar senha sem o código. Requer muitas melhorias

### 1/5 — App does not work

*2026-05-27, version 4.0.0*

App does not work.  Our photos do not download.

### 1/5 — Trash App

*2025-04-25, version 4.0.0*

App is garbage. Pictures are overpriced. Of the 11 pictures, there were basically 3 that were different, all for 150$ and they wouldn’t even give us the printed photo that’s supposed to come with the package. 

Tour guides are great and the experience is good but terrible communication or instruction on where to be

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2025-03-16, version 4.0.0*

I purchased photos that I cannot access after several days of trying to log in. All I get is an error.

### 1/5 — Bad app

*2024-11-11, version 4.0.0*

I still haven’t been able to access any of my photos! The app just constantly says unable to communicate or something like that. Try later. 3 days later, nothing. Over $300 for photos and I can’t see a one! No email link either👎🏻👎🏻

### 1/5 — Recuperación fecha

*2024-07-28, version 4.0.0*

No he podido descargar mis fotos error de conexión con el servidor ya mandé dos correos y tampoco me han contestado, necesito que me envíen mis fotos o la devolución de mi dinero por favor

### 1/5 — HORRIBLE

*2024-07-06, version 4.0.0*

Trying to download the pictures I spent A LOT of money on. Keeps saying “communication error” and nothing happens. When I tried using the email address I was given from dolphin memories, it says “address not found.” 

I wasted more than one dollars AND I am deeply upset to not receive the photos from our memories and time with the dolphins.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2024-07-06, version 4.0.0*

The app doesn’t work and the website doesn’t either. I paid $62 for photos I can’t even get….. Not gonna lie, I’m upset.

### 1/5 — ERROR

*2024-06-12, version 4.0.0*

Just says communication error every time I try to retrieve my photos

### 1/5 — Scammed

*2024-04-30, version 4.0.0*

I paid the $120 for the picture bundle, sent the receipt the man told me to take a picture of and now they’re saying they can’t activate my code for my pictures that I PAID for. It’s outrageous, never go to SELVATICA. Scammed me out of $120.

### 1/5 — SCAM!!!! DO NOT GO HERE!!!!!!

*2023-02-21, version 4.0.0*

The place was disgusting and way overpriced. My family and I decided it was far too gross and ridiculous (so many people) that we asked for a refund (before we even got in the water/swam with the dolphins) heck, they hadn’t even started to head towards the dolphins! I also asked for photos. So, since my family and I decided we were not going to do it, we asked for a refund. They denied us! They provided NO SERVICES and I got no refund; SCAM! I tried to get my money back, but it did not work. So I asked them if I could at least get my photo money back (no photos were taken) and they said no. WHAT?! So I ended up getting scammed around $400 USD!! Basically what came out of this “dolphin adventure” was me forcefully donating money to a dolphin abuse tourist trap. …apologies for bad writing.

### 5/5 — Great experience

*2025-12-26, version 4.0.0*

App worked great. Got pictures and videos instantly on iPhone. Samsung/Android seems to take a little longer.

### 5/5 — It does what expected!

*2024-12-03, version 4.0.0*

Instructions was little bit confusing but after downloading the app everything works as planned. I got my precious pictures and that’s what matters!

### 5/5 — As advertised

*2024-10-24, version 4.0.0*

Their system for cards was down. Provided me with a receipt to email back and option was PC or this app to download pictures. Sent the email, paid, and received a code. All the pictures were there and downloaded with no issues. Yes it was pricy (230 USD for a family of 4 ) but it was also (in my case) about 90 pictures. Easy to work with and memories we will always have.

### 5/5 — Great experience

*2024-02-18, version 4.0.0*

Great experience, all photos downloaded ok, however the videos I’ve made within the app will not download.

### 5/5 — Great time!

*2023-12-17, version 4.0.0*

Photos downloaded in a flash everything was clean and perfect!

### 5/5 — Requires use in store

*2023-11-10, version 4.0.0*

They had to put me on the store WiFi (don’t know if they prefer the 5G speed- cause I told him I had cell service). The scan feature is for the receipt barcode. Had to wait inside the store until the pictures were 100% downloaded. It automatically went to my iPhone picture gallery and the photo quality was great. Cost me $140 for 35 digital photos (mostly repeated or similar shots-maybe 6 or 8 were distinct enough) and two printed pictures.

### 5/5 — Works perfectly

*2023-07-16, version 4.0.0*

Took all of 3 seconds to scan the barcode provided on the receipt, and then it took maybe 1 minute to download everything? Great experience, would recommend!

### 5/5 — Download photos while still at dolphin experience centre

*2023-04-13, version 4.0.0*

The app it self works as expected. The key point is to make sure you get your photo voucher validated while still at the dolphin centre and start the download into the app of the photos using their free WiFi. Any issues the staff at the photo counter can sort out there and then. Only other note is that when you save the photos from this app into your iOS Photos app it will save down to a new album called DolphinDiscovery and not into you Library. You can easily move the photos into your Library afterwards in the Photo app.

### 5/5 — Great photos

*2023-04-06, version 4.0.0*

Amazing high quality photos and they downloaded super fast definitely worth the money.

### 5/5 — AMAZING EXPERIENCE!!!

*2023-02-10, version 4.0.0*

First of all, I have no idea what these other reviews are referring to. It was for sure not the same resort or experience, the dolphins were beyond taken care of and healthy. The pool smelled wonderful. It was filled with sea salt. They stress the importance of how they take care of their animals, and take care of their Ocean which I can for sure get behind, the app was VERY easy to use extremely straightforward and extremely quick to download people seem to forget it depends on their Internet mine download 30 pictures within 30 seconds!!!! 100/10 experience I would go again in the blink of an eye , I LOVE YOU DRACO AND KATALI 🐬❤️ thank you for breathtaking once in a lifetime memories💖💖💖✨✨
