### 3/5 — Attention gels

*2026-08-14*

L’achat du pack a 1,99€ ne donne que 30 gems et non 1400 contrairement à ce qui est écrit.

### 3/5 — Idk

*2026-06-24, version 2.1*

The game doesn’t work properly on my phone and idk why like it just glitches and everything

### 2/5 — Free gems

*2025-09-08, version 2.1*

In the top corner you can do surveys for free gems. I did the survey and no free gems. Can’t connect to Facebook and when you click support button they can’t find the weboage.

### 3/5 — Overall opinion

*2025-07-23*

This game looked really fun, and I have downloaded and tried a lot of zoo games in the past. But when I got this game, I liked it at first, and animals were pretty easy to get, I'd say. But later on? Expansions and breeding took forever. I was always stuck on how to get gems to get new animals. Personally, I love all the animal and habitat designs. To play this game takes a lot of patience and constant grinding to get enough resources for one animal.

### 2/5 — Big big

*2024-06-08, version 2.1*

There is a big bug in the game it’s making me lag

### 1/5 — Misleading advertising gem purchase

*2023-04-05, version 2.1*

My son begged me to buy gems, 1450 gems for $2.99 and he only got 10. Please give us a refund for a waste of money. I have evidence as I took a screenshot. Please fix this error!

### 1/5 — Say bye to this game

Make levelling up easier with out going on Facebook and adding friends

### 4/5 — Can't find diamonds

*2022-08-19*

hi I love this app and use it all the time but it is limited that I am not allowed on social media. I also find it had to find diamonds as I only get some once a month so maybe u could make it once a week otherwise really good game I love it

### 3/5 — What a shame. It could have been so much better.

*2022-04-05*

I played Tap Zoo for many years - until the developer took the Game down. I thought this was going to be a worthy successor. Unfortunately, this developer has placed too many unreasonable boundaries to develop the Zoo, and I rapidly got frustrated at my inability to grow my zoo. (“To expand, you must have 2 friends” - why??) The purchase of many animals require gems and gems cost money or require purchases thru 3rd parties. 
Unfortunately, this is a barrier to real enjoyment.
With regret, Game deleted after just a few days. Pity!

### 2/5 — Ok Animal game

*2022-02-16, version 2.1*

Everything takes like 4 hrs or more and it’s soooo hard to get diamonds and the quests cost lots of money buts the animals are cool also u need face book for everything uhh😒

### 1/5 — Scam / cheat app

*2026-07-07, version 2.1*

I paid for 700 gems. It charged me full amount but gave only 50 gems. There is no support on the app . It takes to an error page. Deleting this app for good.

### 1/5 — Can’t even play

*2026-05-24, version 2.1*

Very buggy

### 1/5 — Precisa de internet

*2026-04-08*

:(

### 1/5 — Keeps crashing

*2026-03-12, version 2.1*

Does not work on iPhone, it just keeps crashing

### 1/5 — Sehr schlechte Auflösung

*2025-08-15*

Hab das Spiel runtergeladen und direkt wieder gelöscht. Die Auflösung ist sehr schlecht und verschwommen. Man sieht außerdem viel garnicht, weil es über den Bildschirm hinaus geht.

### 1/5 — It shuts down

*2023-12-09, version 2.1*

I used to love playing this game. However, all the app does is close down automatically. The graphics are all wonky :(

### 1/5 — False advertising

*2023-12-03, version 2.1*

Buying jeans all the amounts are wrong, you get much less than I states!

### 1/5 — Não comprem nada

*2023-11-24*

Comprei uma montanha de gems por 9,90 e recebi só. Suporte não funciona.

### 1/5 — Bro I thought this was a kids game

*2023-10-14, version 2.1*

I like the game it looks very age appropriate with kids but sometimes it is not the lots of reasons but ill name 3 for now number one. Little kids will not wait a day or even a hour. Number 2 the animals coast way to much some coast money and getting gems are hard. Number 3 how do kids know facebook? Or how to get friends? Or like maybe random strangers on facebook could see their accounts and do something like scam them. I’m just saying this looks like a kids game not a 20 yr old game

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2023-09-07, version 2.1*

It uh.. it doesn’t work, I just got the game and the second I hit “play” it sends me to a black screen with a few options, rather than the game, “edit” and “comunity” are the ones I remmeber, I can see and interact with zoo’s on comunity, but my own is just.. a blank screen

### 5/5 — App Updated?

*2026-06-03, version 2.1*

I’ve always loved this game. It was one of the first games I downloaded when I got my first iPhone back in 2012, and I played it a lot over the years. I stopped playing for a while because it can be pretty time-consuming, but that’s kind of the point, you build your zoo over time. I never really minded that. Recently, I got a new phone and realized the app isn’t compatible with the newer Apple updates anymore. I was just wondering if there’s any chance it could be updated to work on newer devices. I completely understand if that’s not possible. This game has a lot of sentimental value for me, and I’d love the chance to play it again. It would be really cool to have it back the way I remember it. :)

### 5/5 — Zoo

*2025-11-16, version 2.1*

### 5/5 — The best zoo game
