### 3/5 — It’s ok kind of,but there are many issues that need addressing

*2025-03-20, version 1.72*

The cache when u try to post  won’t show the cache picture , so u can never post on this app in forums cause you will always fail “ I’m not a robot” cache cause it doesn’t load completely, there is no photo to click to prove your not a robot , and just check marking it does nothing , so kinda defeats the purpose of the app if you can’t post in forums, it won’t let u. Also u can make an avatar, that’s good but you don’t get achievements through the app u got to log into the website in a browser to be credited Gaia coin from achievements etc , I started with 300 coin in app but once I logged onto the browser website I got all the achievements and my money got boosted to 3000 coin , I would have missed out if I didn’t log into the website . 

It’s also very hard to browse items if you don’t kno the exact name but this was always the case with Gaia u always had to use an outside database that a independent user made but they don’t exsist anymore so the only way to find specific items now is by going thru ppls wish lists to see what the name of an item is or u can ask in forum if ppl can remember what stuff is called from a long time ago. You can’t just type in hair u have to figure out what devs back in the day specifically called the item . This can be very frustrating especially to new players . Your basically losing users cause it’s so hard to find what u want

### 2/5 — To be expected

*2025-01-19*

It’s busted. Like the other apps, it barely works if at all. Their site is more than half busted and checking the fix requests submitted, anything that would make their Ips more functional and accessible is always rejected. They make apps and abandon them, most are P2W because they stone wall you, they do minimal updates to their apps if any and just as little for their website. Design, functionality, UI… It’s all just busted and it’s sad because the overall aesthetic for EVERYTHING they do is amazing. But that’s just it, it’s only aesthetic. Unfortunately their talent lies solely in their art department and nowhere else.

Edit: can’t enter the catwalk at all from the app now, last few days have been consistent “Database Error”

That’s just one more broken feature on an already busted and abandoned application

### 2/5 — Desperately in need of updates

*2024-12-08*

The app crashes frequently, and is ironically a worse experience than the mobile site most of the time. This says a lot, since the site makes my browser refresh and crash more than it should.

I was happy to find out that Gaia had an app and I could do customization on the go, but it’s NOT worth it. I can’t stress this enough. The app’s current state would be more “acceptable” if it actually received updates to fix the glaring issues it has.

Changing species crashes the app, my closet is miserable to sort through, and it forgets I’m logged in on some pages.

I will give props to the devs that the app LOOKS good. I can say that much. But it’s like how sweaty teenage boys cover themselves in cologne or spray instead of showering: you can cover it up a bit, but at the end of the day, the stink’s still there, and you just smell even stronger.

I hope that this app eventually gets the updates it needs to actually be worth using.

### 2/5 — Needs work

*2024-11-05, version 1.72*

I can access my account but that’s about it, when I try to post it shows a never ending captcha and the games aren’t really playable.

### 3/5 — About the sigh up…

*2024-06-08, version 1.72*

So I’m trying to sign up and it say I have to be thirteen but the game is 12+ and I’m 12 so I don’t understand so it’s kinda hard for me to give u guys a good rating

### 2/5 — Please update already

*2023-12-18, version 1.72*

Why are the GaiaOnline apps still just sitting in limbo? Please update them or let us Gaians what’s going on with them please and thank you

### 2/5 — Can’t even sign in

*2023-11-22, version 1.72*

Bro I can’t even get past the sign up page, when I enter my birthday it tells me I need to be at least 14. I was born in 2005? When I struggled past that for 15 minutes it then just said “unknown error” so… it looks cute but I can’t even get into the game :/

### 4/5 — Huge Part of my Childhood

*2023-09-24, version 1.72*

it’s nice to have this part of my youth back, I’m typically in forums. 
There are some bugs but please consider bringing zOMG mobile!

### 2/5 — Cannot change avi from human to animal

*2023-07-21, version 1.72*

App will crash so be happy with what you pick

### 4/5 — It works decently.

*2023-07-13, version 1.72*

I can use GO and make am outfit on my phone instead of having to whip out my computer. It’s useful! Only issue is that when I click the hanger button in the avatar section, it closes the app. And I have a good phone so I think that that’s a problem on their part.

### 4/5 — Great app concept at least

*2023-07-05, version 1.72*

Lake kindred has some UI issues, would love to see it more optimized for mobile!

### 4/5 — Nostalgic.

*2023-06-19, version 1.72*

Pretty good way to return to Gaia in the modern age! Only issue is I can’t seem to post on the forums because the Capcha never goes through. I can’t see my own profile comments either anywhere but if you’re wanting to dip your toes back on the site, this is the way to do it.

### 3/5 — Decent app has a lot of potential

*2023-06-16, version 1.72*

For some strange reason the dropplr tab stopped working and I wish you guys could add rally on this app it would be so awesome I remember having an acc with gaia since 2006

### 1/5 — DO NOT PURCHASE GAIA CASH

*2023-04-12, version 1.72*

I purchased Gaia cash through the App, and never received the in game cash. Tried to get a refund and Apple said I’m not eligible for a refund even though I never received anything! Waste of money and a scam. Purchase through the real website and not this trashy glitchy app.

### 2/5 — Bruh

*2023-02-25, version 1.72*

I can’t even get signed in. It just gives error messages. I tried to reset password and it doesn’t work either. I miss y’all and want to come back. Let me innnnnn

### 1/5 — Is this all!! Disappointment

*2023-01-07*

You can’t really do anything in this app, the other app had more features and quite honestly worked better.

The switchem doesn’t work, can’t trade, can’t gift items. The inventory is the dress up and that feels clunky. The items are loaded as you scroll down and as someone with over 8k items color coded, its impossible to create new looks.

There’s probably more issues but this are mine.

### 1/5 — Disappointing.

*2022-12-28, version 1.72*

The game won’t even let me make an account.

### 1/5 — Limited

*2022-12-09, version 1.72*

It will not let me do much and most importantly it will NOT let me go to my profile or to my journal.

### 1/5 — Needs love

*2025-10-06, version 1.72*

Not great. Either devs or management lazy plenty of time to make it at least decent

### 1/5 — The mobile app for Gaia needs to be fixed

*2025-08-22, version 1.72*

I just felt like that this app needed to fix a lot of bugs….

### 1/5 — Ughh

*2025-07-27, version 1.72*

Doesn’t let me get into the account that already exists and it doesn’t let me try to let me make a new one in bother the app and website

### 1/5 — OG user (2008)

*2025-06-19, version 1.72*

Yea…. I’d love to be able to use this app in the way I’d like… especially since as an adult still a fan of this site… I work a lot and I’m not able to bring my pc with me… it seems as though this hasn’t been updated in quite some time and that’s a shame… I think the mobile app would be a great candidate for zOMG! And I still have no idea why they treat it the way they do… I think kids in this generation would actually really like zOMG! And could be quite playable on iPad as well… (why not proposition a big name company to help work on zOMG?)… I still hold out hope and actually pay for a Gaia subscription because I love Gaia… if the app allowed for profile editing or even could use markdown (which I’m not sure if it does)… or introduce a dedicated Discord server… I wouldn’t mind a better avatar editor where I can easily search and organize… I’m not sure if this app even sends notifications? I’ll be reinstalling and continuously updating my review. (06/18/2025)

### 1/5 — Useless

*2025-04-29, version 1.72*

Does not work. It crashes too much. No access to messages. It use to be just good for changing avatar.

### 1/5 — UPDATE PLS

*2025-04-17, version 1.72*

Need update half of this app doesn’t work! Would love it to work properly!! Please update this app!!!! Users still play this game would be cool to play on phone

### 1/5 — Doesn’t have the most important feature

*2024-08-15, version 1.72*

Can’t check marketplace, what’s the point

### 1/5 — Captcha issues

*2024-01-04, version 1.72*

Both on iOS and Android attempting to post a reply to forums will lead to a captcha that will endlessly load and never allow you to actually post. For an app whose primary function is to more easily access a forum site its failing spectacularly. Great UI though.

### 1/5 — Can’t update user settings or emails in the app

*2023-11-25, version 1.72*

I’m logged into my account on the app but they do not have a place where I can update my active email and password

so I cannot for the life of me remember my password or my password for my old email and the secondary email I was using is now deactivated due to inactivity.

- what can I do?

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2023-08-10, version 1.72*

Completely terrible app. It doesn’t allow me to finish the questions it asks me to fill in the beginning of the setup. It’s ridiculous and a waste of a download. Fix this mess. I used to play Gaia all the time when I was in high school and loved it, now it’s useless. One star for sure.

### 5/5 — PLEASE UPGRADE MONSTER GALAXY TO BE COMPATIBLE WITH IOS 11

*2020-06-15*

.......

### 5/5 — Best way for dressing avatar

*2020-05-06, version 1.53*

I use the website frequently, but it’s much easier to use this app to dress your avatar. You can see each pose of each item better, and it’s easier to find certain items.

### 5/5 — My Home

*2019-12-19*

It’s not the best app but it’s still really fun and simple to use. I have a really hard time with depression especially at work but now that I’ve rediscovered my love for Gaia online I’ve been given something to look forward to. Once I found out there was an app it was even better!!! Now I can deal with the extreme stresses of work by escaping for a few minutes on my phone and getting to revisit the first game I ever truly got addicted to (besides Star Wars: battlefront on original Xbox... that one was another strong addiction)

### 5/5 — Great step forward!

*2019-11-28*

Its nice to see the efforts of the gaia team finally coming to fruition, and Im glad that theyre able to make something thats a bit more modernized than the conventional ways of accessing the site. Although, its not perfect you can tell the gaia team put a LOT of effort into making this for everyone and it shows when compared to the old gaia interactive app. You guys have been making great progress and it makes me glad to be part of the community~ thank you so much

### 5/5 — can’t make an account

*2019-08-25, version 1.4*

i’ve always was looking for cool pixel games and i found this but i can make an account i try on my computer it doesn’t work it always says we can make an account at this time and on mobile it says error occurred so please fix this
