### 3/5 — Meh

*2026-06-18, version 2.0.1*

For some reason, it won’t allow me to do the floor and when I do the walls. It doesn’t show me any dinosaurs or trees or anything. I just have to rely on the sounds of stops so I don’t even know where the dinosaurs are. I went outside to the park to try the net but nothing happened. It didn’t work. Please fix this game.!

### 2/5 — Unreliable

*2026-03-16*

Kept catching fish despite not pointing anywhere at fish.

### 1/5 — 動物を狙って魚が捕まる

*2025-11-30*

森の動物を集めるコンセプトなのに、なぜか動物を狙って矢を放つとを目の前にいないカニや魚が捕まってしまう。森で魚やカニを捕まえるというトンデモ仕様、動物に反応しないのはまだ我慢できるが…目の前の巨大な象に全く反応しない、など中々にストレスの溜まるアプリになっています。
映像やデザインは美しいだけに勿体ない。

### 3/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-10-25, version 1.3.4*

Pint at land animals and I’m catching fish?

### 3/5 — A bit fun

*2025-09-30, version 1.3.4*

App needs to say point and press and then release to catch animals

### 1/5 — Ahem! This is Oregon!

*2025-09-25, version 1.3.4*

I Could Not Find Any Of The Animals Around Myself!

### 1/5 — 楽しめなかった。

*2025-08-16*

カメラを使って動物を捕まえる仕様だが、カメラへのアクセスを許可してもなにも映らない。

### 1/5 — bluetooth接続をもっと楽に

*2025-08-12*

Bluetooth繋げているのに、アプリでずっと『Bluetoothを接続してください』と出てどうしようもできない。
そういうところの改良を望みます。

### 3/5 — 楽しかったんだけど

*2025-07-20*

スマホの機種変更をしたら初期化されました。図鑑完成間近だったのでショックでした。

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-06-22, version 1.3.2*

With some phones this app simply doesn’t work. Ruins the catch and collect experience. My app detected a prawn, fish, and crab every single animal I attempted to capture (whether on wall or floor).
