## What is Latest Sightings?

We have completely redeveloped the app. We have listened to feedback and have built an app that we are extremely proud of.

Here are some of the features we worked hard on: 
1. Offline capabilities. 
-Sightings will load offline.
-Pins on the map will load offline.

2. Push notifications
-You can set to get alerts of new sightings for all the parks you are interested in.

3. Light on data
-We have worked on making the app light on data, especially when you are in the park and using your data, and not using wifi.

Latest Sightings is an app where visitors to the app's supported nature safari parks (view list of parks at end of description) can share their wildlife sightings, in realtime, with other visitors in the game reserve and also to users world wide.

The app is a service to visitors on safari. This utility app notifies you of sightings in your area, so that you can go and check them out for yourself in real life. 
You never have to drive around the whole day seeing nothing, you can now see the magnificent big 5, such as the lion and leopard, everyday on your safari.

This is also the perfect app for wildlife lovers. Latest Sightings allows users to get their daily dose of nature, whether they are in the game park or not.

## Key features

- Offline capabilities for sightings and map pins
- Push notifications for new sightings
- Light on data usage
- Real-time wildlife sighting sharing
- Discover wildlife in supported nature parks

### 3/5 — Good idea but….

*2025-09-21*

On our visit to Kruger, there was much of the time that we didn’t have cell service or very limited service.  That makes it very hard to see other people’s sightings or report in.  Didn’t find the app helpful.

### 1/5 — Hate Apps that are “Scammy”

*2025-05-29*

This app provides few real sightings then locks the user into watching obnoxious ads. The all actually takes control of you device until the ads finish. Great concept. Horrible discretion used in monetizing the app 

Stay away

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! I'm sorry that the ads make it feel scammy, we've tried to implement them in a non intrusive way, like in the feed or just before a video. But, you're saying that the ads take over and you can't use the app? In terms of the sightings, there are around 100-200 real sightings a day, we are always trying to grow the community, hopefully, it grows more. :)

If you're open to it, can you email contact@latestsightings.com, and we can work on fixing things with the app? 

Thank you again

### 1/5 — The App has been spoiled by literally hundreds of rubbish sightings for Bingo

*2025-03-23, version 53.71.5*

There is little point in looking at this App any more as there are dozens of sightings of turtles or rollers or zebras or .... just so people can play Bingo.  Why do this to a really good App that highlighted quality sightings of animals in one of the best parts of the world?  Is it just to get "clicks" for advertising?

### 5/5 — Adds so much excitement to the park

*2024-06-21*

I love using this app. Not only in the park to see animals, but I use it weeks ahead to plan routes. It's magic.
Sometimes driving around the park can get boring, the bingo game is SO much fun.

### 5/5 — Best sightings EVER

*2024-04-13, version 53.61*

Wow!!!!!!! The app helped make this trip a trip of a lifetime. Visiting from London and always a dreamed of seeing the big 5. With the help of the app, I saw the big 5 within the first 24 hours. Insane. Thanks Latest Sightings for making this so memorable.

### 5/5 — Good but missing some posts

*2023-03-08, version 53.25*

Since downloading this APP I have enjoyed viewing the posts. One complaint though, some of the posts cannot be viewed. Gives details but cannot view the photo or video.

### 5/5 — Helpful
