### 2/5 — Good but don’t pay for any of the in app purchases.

*2026-08-17*

Enjoying the game so far but the in app Remove Ads purchase didn’t work so paid the money which wasn’t the cheapest one I have seen and still have to watch all the ads. 

Would have given a high rating otherwise.

### 1/5 — Purchase help

*2026-08-16, version v1.3.0*

Bought remove ads but still has ads

### 1/5 — Purchase did not work

*2026-08-12*

A fun game usually. I decided to add to my experience by purchasing the t.rex pack. The game took my money but I did not receive the t.rex or gems which is disappointing as it was quite expensive! I have requested a refund through the Apple Store. I’m not sure that parts of this game are being updated anymore so be wary of in-app purchases!

### 3/5 — Good game  but broken

*2026-08-02, version v1.3.0*

This is a good game would rate it 5 but it is broken when purchasing remove ads  the adds still pop up  I need a refund or this fixed

### 5/5 — Updates!

*2026-01-05, version v1.3.0*

Please update! Want more species and for purchases to work!

### 2/5 — Fun game but...

*2025-12-14, version v1.3.0*

Game is addicting and fun but ads still keep popping up after I purchased the "remove ads"

### 5/5 — HELP

*2025-08-27, version v1.3.0*

I need update so I can restore my purchases! Every time I click it it says “no internet” I have internet 😩 please please update Ive been playing this game on and off for over 5 years!

### 1/5 — Purchased item not received

*2025-08-06*

Purchased the rare animal pack and did not receive anything promised in the pack. Seems like many people have had this issue with purchases recently

### 3/5 — I’m torn

*2025-08-04, version v1.3.0*

I loved this game on android. But I downloaded it on Apple and now I get adds. I did pay to remove adds, but when I get rewards, it asks if I want to watch an add for a reward. The only way I get the rewards is if I watch the adds. Which is something I paid to NOT have. I don’t play this game nearly as much anymore because of that issue.

### 2/5 — Don’t spend money

*2025-07-27*

I bought the no ads and I still get ads. What a waste
