### 1/5 — Why?

*2022-11-25, version 1.1.7*

What is this app for?  It doesn’t support the membership card.  It’s a waste of time and effort.

### 1/5 — Best zoo worst app

*2022-05-11, version 1.1.7*

Can’t link my membership. Keeps glitching. Not at all impressed.

### 1/5 — Half the app doesn’t work

*2022-04-25*

Recently downloaded the app to be able to access my membership card and it doesn’t work. You can’t access it from the app, the special events aren’t accurate or updated regularly. Nothing is correct this app. I honestly expected more from my favorite zoo

### 1/5 — Should be easy

*2020-04-30, version 1.1.4*

App won’t link my membership.... what’s hard about that.

### 1/5 — Can’t load your membership card.

*2020-04-09, version 1.1.4*

The app doesn’t work when you try to load your card. Please fix the issue.

### 1/5 — This app doesn’t work

*2020-03-24, version 1.1.4*

Unfortunate.

### 1/5 — Membership info not found

*2020-03-23, version 1.1.4*

Absolutely worthless app. Fantastic zoo though!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t do the one thing

*2020-03-21*

Only wanted it for one thing: virtual membership card. Doesn’t work. I’m a longtime member and the renewal website certainly recognizes my info but this app doesn’t. Insult to injury; there are no instructions or contact information saying what to do if it fails. Love the zoo; hate the app

### 1/5 — Can’t even look up my membership

*2020-03-07, version 1.1.4*

Put in all my information and it tells me they can’t find my membership. I guess I will continue to use my card.

### 1/5 — A missed opportunity

*2019-12-28*

It’s pretty disappointing that the “world’s largest zoo” receiving loads of support (cash) from Omaha corporations and individuals has such a poorly designed app. Map doesn’t work. Membership link doesn’t work. A lot of the content points to the zoo website. 

I was also greatly surprised there isn’t an interactive guide for walking around the zoo. It’d be nice to have information for the area your standing in available on your phone.

### 1/5 — Failed membership

*2019-06-28*

I tried to get the membership on my phone so both of us could have it and when I enter the information it says it failed

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2019-05-31, version 1.1.2*

Can not link my account at all. Been members for the last 20 years. Very disappointed in this app.

### 1/5 — Busy

*2019-05-30, version 1.1.2*

It’s busted.

### 1/5 — Abandonware

*2019-04-26*

No updates in almost a year. 

The zoo layout has changed dramatically within the last year, making the map almost useless. 

The app also lists upcoming events (animal feeding/training...) which are on incorrect days at best.

### 1/5 — Logo over animal faces

*2019-04-16, version 1.1.2*

Cool opening page for kids to watch, but the zoo logo covers almost all the animal faces. Move it down and allow the user to enjoy the interactive page.

### 1/5 — Can’t log in

*2019-04-14, version 1.1.2*

Please help it won’t let me log in update please

### 1/5 — App as always doesn’t work

*2025-03-30*

The app never works right. I try to uninstall and reinstall to get it to work. Nope. Still won’t. Can’t save card info because it always tells me memberships details not found. Yet our membership is active. Considering all the money that goes into this zoo and the fact it’s been number 1 for three years in a row you would think they would put more into the app!

### 1/5 — App Crashes When Linking Membership

*2024-07-01*

A big selling point for the app is the ability to link your membership card to the app and use in lieu of the physical card. The app continues to crash when you try to link your membership. Please fix this!!

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2024-06-18*

You would think if they are going to push the app when you sign up for the membership it would work. I get that most apps are not perfect, but this app doesn’t even work at all every time I put my memebership id in the whole app crashes

### 1/5 — Membership

*2024-05-05*

I downloaded the app so I could use my phone for our membership because my husband carries it. I can’t link our membership to the app. I try every year. They say it’s a great app and to download it well what’s the point if you can’t link your membership to it??

### 1/5 — Trash app

*2024-04-06*

Have been a member for over 3 years, never changed my membership number and the app doesn’t recognize my membership number or any other details. You’d think being the #1 Zoo in the entire country, their app would be top tier. It’s 2024, most people don’t want to carry a membership card around anymore and would rather have an app on their phone.

### 1/5 — Trash App

*2023-12-14*

I don’t even know why the zoo has an app and advertises this as an app. You cannot make purchases for anything through the app and when you try to link your membership, it never works. This caliber of a zoo should have a working app or just ditch it all together.

### 1/5 — App never works

*2023-05-07*

This app does not work. Why does this exist if it does not work. I tried to get a membership on the app but it did not work. Even though the zoo itself is good the app is terrible.

### 1/5 — SO ANNOYING IT’S 2023 AND THE APP DOESN’T WORK

*2023-04-19, version 2023.03.01*

Every time I try to enter in my membership details, the app quits. I don’t want to carry another card around. So stupid.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t link membership

*2023-04-01, version 2023.03.01*

For some reason no matter what I do I cannot get this app to link my membership. It simply doesn’t work!

### 1/5 — App STILL doesn’t work…

*2023-03-21*

Every year, I buy our annual family membership. Once I pay, the zoo then advertises their ‘so-called’ great app to use as a membership card. I fall for it every year. I download the app, hoping their membership link is fixed and I can use my phone as my membership card. I’m always saddened that the app cannot link my membership. I only wish someone would read these comments about their app, and care about changing and fixing it. Sadly, these reviews fall on deaf ears. I wish this wasn’t the case.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Decent

*2022-10-23*

Noticed a lot of the reviews are negative and really old, so I thought I’d write one! I use this app regularly to check out events and news and whatnot. It’s definitely not the best designed app but it does the job, completely decent

### 5/5 — Zoo staff resolved problem

*2019-05-20, version 1.1.2*

I contacted the Omaha Zoo staff about the app not displaying my card info. They resolved my problem displaying my membership card by providing a verification code for me. They were so quick to respond to my request for assistance.

### 5/5 — Good information with nice map

*2017-05-06, version 1.0.46*

Has some good information in it and love the map. Shows a map of the zoo and where you are at any given point. Really cool.

### 5/5 — Best Zoo ever!

*2017-04-24, version 1.0.46*

Very cool to have a app instead of paper map

### 5/5 — Love it

*2015-02-20, version 1.0.1*

Awesome app, so happy the zoo finally got one up and running. A+

### 4/5 — I’ve used my phone as my card for years now!!!

*2023-06-05*

Download the app. Enter the member id info and verify your id at the gate. It works just fine for me. Use it as a map. View iMax show times.

### 4/5 — Decent App

*2021-02-24, version 1.1.6*

The 1 star reviews are quite old. 
It appears they made significant changes since the last update, although it was 9 months ago - I’d like to see continual improvements/amenities. 

I became a member and entered my info and it found the info right away. I have to get a verification code from guest services as stated on the email I received. 

The app is a little slow sometimes, but has a lot of information. I’d like to use it to its full potential once everything is normalized after Covid.

### 4/5 — Good app

*2016-01-13, version 1.0.41*

We have been members for about 10 years now and have loved the zoo.  The app is very solid. However, I would love to be able to save my membership ID card or log in and be able to use the app as my member ID. It would still be secure because you would still need to show your drivers license to verify it is your membership, but this would eliminate the problem of me having the member card in my wallet at work and my wife wanting to go to the zoo with the kids on her day off (or vice versa).

### 3/5 — Needs to have an update

*2017-07-10, version 1.0.46*

App started out pretty good. I had my membership card linked. Got on today to look up a couple of things and found my card is no longer linked. When I try to look up membership info it tells me 'member details not found'. I've tried calling member services but haven't been able to reach anyone. 
The map needs to be updated as well.

### 3/5 — Almost there

*2017-05-14, version 1.0.46*

Would be great if I could link membership
