That makes it very hard to see other people’s sightings or report in. Didn’t find the app helpful. ### 1/5 — Application downloads fail *2015-12-20, version 26.5* After installation it wants to download 3 updates which continuously fail ### 2/5 — Had to create a new account *2015-11-16, version 25.4* I had problems to log into this app and had to create a new account using Windows. This app doesn't work as expected and it needs further refinement and improvement. The Facebook page works, but not this app. Why does Apple approve apps when it doesn't work properly? ### 1/5 — Very disappointing app... *2015-11-02* I was looking for videos of the african wildlife, but there's only a few pictures... I will keep looking it on youtube....... 👎🏼 **Developer response:** Hi, we are glad to inform you that the new version of the app allows uploading of wildlife videos and pictures. Could you please try it now? Hopefully, the new update will impress you and make you want to change your review :) If you have any questions please contact us - contact@latestsightings.com ### 3/5 — Mrs *2015-09-19, version 15* Please list tings by their time. Today it says 66 tings for the day. Why are there only 10 tings listed? ### 1/5 — Nothing *2015-08-31, version 14* I don't get anything except a title page. No links, no input fields, nothing. ### 2/5 — No.. *2015-05-27, version 14* seemed as if this App was going to be something I would really like. Went to use it and needed to create an account.. Name email .. phone number ect... NOPE .. looks like a scam to me. ### 1/5 — Poor *2014-11-24, version 13* This app looks like the dogs breakfast on my iphone 6plus. Besides that there is next to nobody else using the app so there is not a single sighting on the map. Pity. ### 1/5 — Totally Confusing *2013-12-02, version 4* I thought this would have a map of recent sightings. Instead it's stream of tweets but because I didn't know the road numbers, this didn't make any sense to me. So nice idea but doesn't deliver on it. ### 1/5 — Shame *2013-09-26, version 4* Great idea - just doesn't work. Can't sign up or log in. Deleted. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Hate Apps that are “Scammy” *2025-05-29, version 53.72* 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 ### 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? ### 1/5 — The App has been spoiled by literally hundreds of rubbish sightings for Bingo *2024-12-27, version 53.69.5* 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? ### 1/5 — Useless *2019-01-21, version 29.0.1* It doesnt even work on iOS 12.1 ### 1/5 — Fail *2018-07-16, version 29.0.1* Great concept and great idea BUT a complete waste! No one posts and just empty fields with endless forms and options . I was seething !!! ### 1/5 — Needs signal to work *2018-03-04, version 29.0.1* Cannot function off line, effectively useless in the large parks like KNP ### 1/5 — Useless. Can't set up account *2017-04-07, version 28.0.0.1* Apparently every single username that was ever invented has already been taken, so impossible to set up an account.... useless!!! ### 1/5 — Huh?? *2016-08-09, version 27* This app is broken, just the blank opening page! ### 1/5 — Not enough parks *2016-07-05, version 27* Only has like 4 parks listed - of no nuse for the rest. Addo National Park not included ### 1/5 — App Doesn't Work *2016-03-06, version 26.5* It used to work reasonably well, however no longer works. I deleted it and downloaded latest version, still won't work, when you open it, says it is downloading an update and fails every time!? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Adds so much excitement to the park *2024-06-21, version 53.65.8* 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 — Adds so much excitement to the park *2024-05-15* 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. ### 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 — Awesome *2022-06-12, version 51.2* Great app that I know so many use! Awesome way to share sightings. ### 5/5 — Helpful *2022-06-08, version 51.2* Great app to see where users have spotted the best wildlife. More real time then the boards at the ranger centres. ### 5/5 — Best app ever. *2017-02-02, version 28.0.0.1* Used it once about a year ago. Saw the best sightings. **Developer response:** Thank you for the positive review! We are glad to inform you that we have released a new and improved version of the app. Could you please try it now?

I cannot use my own nickname either. I have tried to register with a different e-mail address and this does not work either. This is a good App which I rate highly. But it is disappointing I cannot use it while I am in Kruger. **Developer response:** Hi, we are glad to inform you that the issues with the login and sign up have been fixed in the new version of the app. Could you please try it now?
