### 1/5 — Not playable

*2026-06-23, version 1.0.11*

It won’t even open there’s just a grey screen

### 1/5 — Help

*2026-06-12, version 1.0.11*

I tried playing the game however when i click on it there is a grey screen abd my phone crashes

### 1/5 — Game Does Not Load

*2026-05-11, version 1.0.11*

The game does not load past the initial grey screen and is broken in its current state.

### 5/5 — Love this game!

*2026-03-05*

I’ve been playing a few weeks or so and it seems as though I’ve beat the game.. I’ve unlocked all the dinosaurs and hit the max on visitor income. How often do you guys come out with new stuff? Will there be tournaments eventually where we can compete with other players? I love this game and hope it continues to put out good stuff! Thanks so much!

### 2/5 — IAPs not restorable

*2026-02-01*

I used to love the game, but as I wanted to play it again now i wasn’t able to restore my purchases. It says internet connection required. But I was able to download the game, so… same goes for idle tap zoo. Pls update that, so that i can alter this score

### 1/5 — Bug

*2026-01-23, version 1.0.11*

It was fun when I first played it but every time I open the app it’s just a black screen and doesn’t complete loading. Super disappointing considering I already spent 10 dollars to get rid of ads.

### 3/5 — Great Game!

*2025-12-12*

I’m rating 3 stars for now since I have to open the game multiple times before I can play. I have an IPhone 12. Also I bought the No Ads but I can’t collect rewards because it says I’m not connected to the internet even though I am.  I love the game though! One of the better idle games for sure.

### 2/5 — Game won’t open

*2025-12-09, version v 1.0.9*

The game isn’t opening at all, it won’t get past the first screen before it fades to grey and just sits there. Is it broken? I was going to buy the ad free option, but now I’m worried it won’t open reliably enough to justify paying for it. ;(

### 1/5 — Lost my $20

*2025-12-07, version v 1.0.9*

I played this game for a few hours spent $20 and now when I click the game it’s just a dark grey screen that doesn’t load so I uninstalled the game and re downloaded it and now my $20 is gone wtf

### 3/5 — Won’t start up

*2025-11-27, version v 1.0.9*

This game started off fun for the first couple weeks but then after that it refuses to even start now. Please tell I didn’t spend money on this game, only for it to stop working!
