Would have given a high rating otherwise. ### 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 ### 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" ### 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 ### 4/5 — Idle Tap Zoo *2024-08-02* Cover picture is on but when tapped to open goes to a blank screen ### 3/5 — Good game but wouldnt stop asking for a review so here it is *2024-05-21* The review ### 3/5 — NEEDS UPDATE FOR IOS!! *2024-01-19, version v1.3.0* I used to love this game. I delete it every once in a while, then come back to it months later. This last time, the ads stopped working. Apparently the bug has been fixed on Android, but the last iOS update was two years ago. I just wanted to watch ads to get more gems. ### 3/5 — Needs more updates *2023-10-26, version v1.3.0* Needs more creatures and should lower the amount of gems needed to get a special character. Almost $30 to change the look of a creature is a lot. We should be able to buy the mythical creatures for gems instead of fossils also if we want to pay for it ### 5/5 — Simple app game that knows what it is doing *2022-09-18* A simple game I will admit but it’s simplicity is what makes it fun. You don’t need to spend money to feel like you accomplished something as well. Ads are not a hassle but are of use as well, the choice is all up to you. I don’t feel exhausted or bored playing it, the game knows it’s a simple app game and keeps to that theme. ### 5/5 — Great game! *2022-08-30, version v1.3.0* I absolutely love this game! It’s super fun to play and best of all it doesn’t have annoying ads unless you consent to actually watching one or two for a power up! Overall wonderful game! ### 5/5 — Amazing game *2022-07-24* I have had so much fun playing a zoo game like no other. I would totally recommend this game to people who love animals like myself. The pixel art is also very good but the only thing I wish that this game had is animal AI for the animals to do different actions and walk around their pen, maybe the turtles could roll over on to their shell and roll back or maybe the otters could dig and find random stuff that has no impact on the game. ### 5/5 — Yeah *2022-07-20, version v1.3.0* Cool game ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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! ### 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 ### 1/5 — Caution: NoAd Option *2025-01-29* I bought the option but it changed nothing! The button „restore purchases“ told me that I have no access to the internet. ### 1/5 — Not very good *2024-09-17, version v1.3.0* Poorly made game ### 1/5 — Won’t restore purchases *2023-08-24, version v1.3.0* If you beat the game and reset it, it will not restore purchases. You get an error that says you need an internet connection. It sure will still allow you to watch ads over the internet even though it says you aren’t connected. Scam ### 1/5 — Can’t restore purchases *2023-04-17, version v1.3.0* Played before on another phone with same account. When I press the restore purchases and I receive a message that to restore you need an internet connection. Uh, I’m on here obviously I have connection ### 1/5 — Publicités ! *2020-10-07* Je suis assez surprise de voir des publicités non destinées à un public de jeunes enfants pour obtenir les bonus !!! (Criminal case où l’on voit un mort baigner dans une baignoire de sang ). Ce jeu est disponible pour les enfants à partir de 4 ans !!! ### 1/5 — Going to give up soon *2020-09-14* The game is ok, in massive need of a graphics overhaul!!! The graphics are dreadful, even the crappiest of cheaply made games are more interesting to look at. This is just a still screen! Boooring! However I will leave the game soon because it has taken a very long time to level up. I don’t want to have to sell it. Such a terrible feature, from the comments, I see I’m not the only one. I also really hate the non existent customer support. This game looks like it was built by a heartless 10 year old. Then the money you charge for anything extra is ridiculous. I wouldn’t doubt creating such a simple game, with such high prices, is only to generate profit. No care whatsoever for what the players say. Sad. My advice to anyone reading this...don’t bother. Waste of time! ### 1/5 — Dev is obviously not a pro *2020-06-30, version v1.2.7* I use iphone xs and the money balance portion is cut off. So you even do QA testing? Omg this is basic you know ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Updates! *2026-01-05, version v1.3.0* Please update! Want more species and for purchases to work! ### 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! ### 5/5 — Ads Freeze Game *2025-03-01* Great game, Please fix! ### 5/5 — Super fun game! *2024-08-28* I love this game! It’s a simplistic style of game where you build up how many animals/reptiles/etc you have and then sell some when you have a lot in order to buy new types of animals! ### 5/5 — Fun Game! *2024-03-23, version v1.3.0* I've played this through to the end multiple times, and I just downloaded it again. Great level-up game theory script writing. ### 5/5 — This Game Will Ruin Your Life 5/5 *2024-02-28* If you are looking for a game that will make you refrain from all productive activities for at least a month, this is perfect for you. Extremely addictive, ridiculous and funny storyline, and a bunch of cute animals with potential cuter upgrades. I just completed the story mode, and now I hate myself so I downloaded the dinosaur version of the same thing from the same developer to drown out my grief upon finish this beautiful masterpiece. Download now, and you too can have your friends and family become disappointed with you and have your phone die several times per day! ### 5/5 — Very good game *2023-11-25, version v1.3.0* Very fair free to play mechanics ### 5/5 — Please update! *2023-11-07, version v1.3.0* This game is great and could be better with continuous updates pleaseeee ### 5/5 — UPDATE PLEASE *2023-07-03, version v1.3.0* UPDATE THIS GAME PLEASE! THERE ARE STILL PEOPLE WHO ENJOY IT THANK YOU ### 5/5 — Amazing *2023-04-23, version v1.3.0* Really a goo game for when I take a break from studying --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
