Very Pokemon Go-like, but with real birds. Unfortunately, any time something happened, the game lagged or outright crashed making it basically unusable. Reload and get forced to make an avatar, which immediately crashes as soon as it loads that. Instructions were unclear for Wingspan, as well. Needs a tutorial. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your feedback! We just released version 1 of our Wingspan Tutorial and are working on a version 2 to release next month. We are very sorry you had a bad experience and hope you will give our app another try! We are a small team and very, very grateful for the feedback. Please email us anytime at support@krikey.com with more feedback. Thank you for re-considering your rating! ### 3/5 — Lel kleb *2020-12-26, version 3.4.2* Can this game work on an iphone13? Thanks **Developer response:** This game works in AR on iPhones 6s and above (which are AR enabled). Thank you for giving the app a try! If you have any additional feedback you can always reach us at support@krikey.com ### 3/5 — buggy *2020-10-17, version 3.0.1* Needs some work right now. Whenever I click on my card icon, nothing happens to see my birds. Could be a great companion with the wingspan app. Would be great to get some bird info as well. **Developer response:** Hi! Thank you for your feedback! Currently in the app, once you collect a bird in AR you also get a card with a bird fact that includes habitat, food tokens, a fact, a picture and (of course) wingspan! To see the bird in AR again, you can re-visit it from your journal on the map (a small tab on the bottom left of the maps screen). We also have a tutorial on our YouTube channel that guides players through how to find the card and re-visit the bird in AR. If you have any questions or suggestions please reach out to us at support@krikey.com -- we'd love to help! ### 4/5 — Pokémon Go for Birders *2020-04-13, version 2.6.1* I have had this app since it was first introduced. I gave up playing it at first because there were so many issues but they are working on getting the glitches out. The last week I have been playing it has been entertaining, but still has some frustration points. For example collecting food doesn’t always work. Food stops seem so few and far that it would be great if they actually worked. But sometimes you think you collected the food (it updates on your current screen as one more than before) but if you exit out and start the app again it reverts back to the total before the stop. Birds sometime are frozen and won’t collect, or won’t be there when you get to the site. Small complaints to a relatively fun game. At least it is getting me moving and providing some entertainment during these stressful times! **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your review! And if you are the same gadget19 in app - congratulations on being the first Krikey player to discover 100+ birds! Please also feel free to email us at support@krikey.com with any feedback, feature or bird species requests. We are always working to improve the app. Would you be able to take a screen recording of the food collection bug to email us? That would help our developers troubleshoot the root issue. We have recently altered the ratio of food to birds in favor of more birds on the map since many users prefer to focus on collecting the birds! We are working on fixing the bird freeze issue and should have that fix in an app update before the end of May. Thank you so much for playing - we really, really appreciate your feedback and positive review! Thank you and happy digital birding! ### 1/5 — Worst app ever *2020-04-03, version 2.6.1* Time I’ll never get back 😡 **Developer response:** Hi! We would love to help answer any questions you have on the app. Please email us at support@krikey.com if you have more feedback and questions. We have made significant changes and updates to the app this year. Thank you for reconsidering your star rating! ### 3/5 — Good idea, needs development *2020-01-08, version 2.3.2* It’s OK. I like the idea for the Wingspan game a lot: it’s kind of a Pokémon Go but for birds. Some recommendations: 1. Have a “How to use” guide or something that reviews the features and how things work: for example I see icons on the map but apparently am not close enough for them to activate. How close do I have to be? How do I activate them? It kind of seems automatic, but that’s not consistent in opening then. I can also click on them, but it doesn’t seem to do anything 2. If I have the app open and am near an icon, it seems to automatically trigger the encounter which is annoying since it takes a while until I can exit it (which I frequently need to do since I don’t have the required food to get birds) 3. Add more gamification 4. Make it easier to see which birds are collected (separate screen with a grid?) as opposed to scrolling through them. Also, give more info on the birds. It would be awesome if this was connected to a database of info that I could reference to help me learn birds better 5. Personally, I’m not ever going to share a video reaction of me catching a bird, but this is the default progression of the app. I would make this optional or easier to exit 6. The location tracking is a bit off and frequently shows I’m in a place that I’m not, which is frustrating if I’m trying to get someplace specific 7. This is a huge drain on my battery, preventing me from using this frequently **Developer response:** These are fantastic suggestions! Thank you so much! Please email us anytime at support@krikey.com with more feedback - we love to receive it! In the last few months we have (1) added a how to guide in the food token bar - tap the '?' to open it, we have also posted tutorials to YouTube and Instagram, (2) implemented a teleport feature so when you tap on a pindrop you have the option to physically walk or teleport the ecosystem into your living room, (3) have re-worked the user flow for entering and exiting pindrops, (4) added badges and daily challenges for users + a leaderboard showing top birder all-time and by day, (5) the suggestion of a grid to see which birds are collected is great and we will work on thinking through a re-design here! (6) In the next app update we will be making big changes to the video flow - no longer requiring a video at first collection, and actually adding more control over filming and editing a video in the explorer journal, (7) location tracking bug should have been fixed in the last update, (8) battery drain should also improve with every app update! We hope you enjoy digital birding and thank you in advance for reconsidering your star rating on the App Store! ### 1/5 — What is Wrong *2019-11-15, version 2.2.0* I know the developers worked hard on this game and it is extremely hard to do so I give them a tip of the hat there. What is wrong with people, have people gotten so lazy that they don’t want to get off the couch or they don’t want to leave their property and look for real birds, seeing and finding a real bird or gorilla for example is such a far more amazing experience then looking at an animated picture on their phone. This world is becoming even sadder, with people who create games like this we are going to lose our natural world, because people won’t have the real thrill of finding a real bird, or wanting to do anything about them disappearing, just sad. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! As the world has changed dramatically in recent weeks we hope you will reconsider your review and give us a try again! The app is meant to be a window back into the natural world for people to learn about different species and engage with Augmented Reality. We never intend to replace nature, only to encourage a love for it. During this lockdown we have also received feedback that the app has served as a meaningful substitute as people have not been able to leave their homes to be immersed in nature. We understand your feeling and appreciate your feedback. We hope you understand our perspective in why we developed the games. Please reconsider your rating - it means a lot to us! Many thanks, Team Krikey ### 1/5 — Would be great if it worked *2019-10-26, version 2.1.0* Th app crashes as soon as a bird pops up **Developer response:** Please email us: support@krikey.com--we would love to help! Thank you for trying the app and we hope you give us another try later this month! Many thanks, Team Krikey ### 1/5 — Buggy beta birding *2019-10-17, version 2.0.0* I was excited to play Wingspan in a live AR format, because I love the board game and I love birding in real life. I found the app to be clunky and unpolished. The game goals are unclear and there is no clear way for me to control who sees my videos or who can follow me on the platform. Navigating the app itself was pretty confusing. In a few years I hope this gets un-buggy and more private/usable/interesting, but for now I say: don’t waste your time. ## Frequently asked questions about Krikey ### What does Krikey do?
