### 1/5 — Don’t bother.

*2026-06-08, version v1.0.10*

Even if you connect, still doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — バグってる

*2026-04-01*

ミスしか出ない

### 1/5 — イライラ

*2026-02-07*

館内は電波悪いため館内でのダウンロードはめちゃくちゃ時間かかる。それぞれアプリをダウンロードしないといけない。行く前に家でやってたのもあるが、もっとわかりやすくまとめてほしい。

### 1/5 — Just use the rental phones for free

*2026-01-11, version 1.0.6*

App does not work at all. Ruins the exhibit

### 5/5 — Suggestion

*2025-12-15, version 1.0.6*

Add dinosaurs

### 1/5 — 反応しない

*2025-08-27*

網が変な位置に行くし床が反応しない　絶対変えたほうがいい　根気がないとスマホぶっ壊しそうになるイライラ

### 1/5 — 楽しめない。

*2025-08-24*

ダウンロードが重い、網の設置ができないが多く、一個しか置けないので設置して時間まで待つのが手間。
リリースまでしないといけない何か理由があったのでしょうか。
星5をつける人は関係者かと思われます。これで87匹(？)見つけるのは大変です。

### 2/5 — Gute Idee funktioniert aber nicht gut

*2025-07-11*

Die Idee ist gut aber in der app zu langsam

### 1/5 — app is useless

*2025-06-29, version 1.0.3*

literally didn’t work very inconsistent or just glitches out and breaks

### 5/5 — Great concept

*2025-06-27, version 1.0.3*

Fun to learn about extinct animals and interact with the exhibit. 

Only suggestions would be to provide all the animal’s information on the first catch since finding 3 of the same animal takes a long time. The was also a small bug when attempting to put the animal back on the wall, sometimes the app would freeze and you’d have to restart the app.
