### 4/5 — Latest version crashing

*2020-01-17, version 7.0*

I love this app in general but the latest version is crashing on my iPhone 11 whenever I try and submit a sighting. 

It is also telling me to update but I can’t. I’ve even tried deleting the app and reinstalling it but am still getting the messages.

Hope you get it sorted soon so I can put you back to 5 stars.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2019-08-06, version 6.58*

This is an amazing app and I would recommend it to any bush walker or wildlife enthusiast.

### 5/5 — Totally awesome!

*2019-03-17, version 6.53*

Love this app and I’m now totally addicted! It is my reward time I give myself between work and gets me out and seeing so much beauty in the world. Love the fact you can have a go at identifying what you get, and then when it is identified by the scientists, you get loads of great information! Love it! Thank you!

Only thing I could recommend is that you could use cameras other than the phone, as it is hard to capture many things like birds etc on a phone.

### 5/5 — Bryn

*2019-01-16, version 6.27*

Absolutely love this app. I try to use it as much as possible to record all the species that I see. This is the best app on the App Store!

### 5/5 — Questafun!!!

*2018-12-30, version 6.27*

We are loving this app so much in our house. I am not really an outdoorsy person as a rule but I am finding myself getting up early with my daughter, grabbing a hat and sensible shoes to go and find birds...birds people! It’s such a great buzz when one of your submissions is accepted and my daughter loves collecting gold. The perfect holiday app!

### 4/5 — Fun!

*2018-09-21, version 6.21*

Really enjoying submitting my sightings and learning new species. Mostly common ones but still great fun. 

A couple of improvements I would suggest. I have a couple of offline sightings that don’t have a photo with them but I can’t delete them so they are stuck. 

In the QLab history the species name is fancy script across the top doesn’t have enough characters visible for most species meaning I can’t see the full name or common name of the identification. Written underneath in normal text would be better and I would be able to learn more stuff. 

Overall I’m so excited about this app I’m telling all my friends and family- unusual for me.

### 5/5 — Great app.

*2018-07-29, version 6.16*

It’s very interesting game.

### 4/5 — Great game

*2018-06-23, version 5.8*

This is a great game. The only thing I have to complain about is that you can only join one clan. Is this for a reason? Please fix this soon.

### 5/5 — Great app for discovering!

*2018-06-17, version 5.8*

Love this app. The kids love sighting new animals whilst we are out and about and we have gone on several walks just so we can find animals. We have had so many more conversations about the creatures around us us to the app engaging the kids including my boy on the autism spectrum.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2018-05-14, version 5.8*

Engaging and fun app. Great to use with kids and to get them (and me!) more excited about going outdoors.

### 3/5 — A few issues, but great potential.

*2018-02-12, version 5.5*

First off, I’d like to make clear that you should not be discouraged from downloading and using this app, it has some issues, but with more downloads I hope the creators will further develop QuestaGame.

I haven’t reported too many sightings as of yet, but I like the idea of expert feedback. When I first tried to search species, they weren’t coming up. From what I’ve found it seems that the search works every other time you stop typing. For example: if you type “Canada Goose” fairly quickly without pausing, it will appear and you can chose the correct option. If you type “Can” and pause for a second, a bunch of options will come up, and if you finish writing “Canada Goose” without pausing this time, no options will appear. When I submitted my first few sightings, this made me think that they had very few species in their data, but I did get used to the strange searching. Another thing that I didn’t like was the fact that you can only report a few sightings per day. I understand this is to limit the amount of gold you can get, but 4 a day seems to discourage me from using the app a lot. The gold you receive for rarity seems to be a bit inconsistent, for example: I received 79 gold (in the sighting rarity category) for my report of a Greater White-fronted Goose. This species of goose is expected in Massachusetts USA this time of year, but rare. They are not extremely rare, but the farthest east their normal migration route goes, is to Illinois. Like I said, a few Greater White-fronted Geese are always seen in MA this time of year, but definitely not considered common. The reason that the number of gold received is strange, is because for the same category, (sighting rarity) on my report of a House Finch, I received 95 gold. House Finches are not a bird that I would consider extremely common, but they are very common feeder birds in Massachusetts at any time of year because they are non-migratory. The last (very) small issue I have is formatting, the app isn’t super pleasing to the eye and navigation is a bit difficult at times. The feel of it is a bit underdeveloped, but not that bad, like I said, it’s just a small issue. 

If all of these problems were resolved, there is no doubt that this would be a 5 Star app, it has great potential! I love the idea of collecting species, and the fact that experts review them is wonderful, it gets people outside and exploring, and it can teach people so much.

### 4/5 — Questagame...

*2018-01-12, version 5.3*

I love this app so much. I find it is a good way to get scientists looking at new species. The only problem I have with it is that you have a limited amount of sightings in 24 hours. I understand that if the scientist get many sightings, they could be overloaded with information. I reckon the daily limit should be 5 or 6 in case you go for a long bush walk. I highly recommend this app for those willing to explore, young or elderly.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2020-05-12, version 8.2*

It won’t let me create a profile and it says I am offline when I am online

### 1/5 — Asked for my inaturalist password

*2019-07-08, version 6.57*

This creeps me out - why not use oauth

### 1/5 — It won’t let me create a Password for my Account

*2019-05-20, version 6.53*

I can’t use this app because it won’t let me create a Password for my Account in the Create Account Section.

### 1/5 — Cannot even register

*2017-10-19, version 5.3*

0 Function so disappointing not even any way to make contact Is this a joke?

### 2/5 — NFT crypto addition:( Had to downgrade to 2/5

*2022-10-03, version 10.0.20*

Don't get any nft crypto garbage in your app you've been hoodwinked, dev

### 2/5 — Great Idea but disappointed :(

*2019-01-07, version 6.27*

My kids and I loved the game and played a lot. It was a great way to get them into photography too. We started setting quests for each other but when we posted pictures they wouldn’t be credited to quests. After several emails I just found out that my camera has to be gps enabled to do quests, even the little ones we set each other. Kids gave up at that point. It’s a real shame.

### 2/5 — Crashes

*2018-10-11, version 6.21*

Crashes every time I select an observation synced from my inaturalist account. Only reason I downloaded was bc of the inat partnership so until they fix this, I’m not interested.

### 2/5 — Strange, rude, could be better

*2016-06-21, version 3.7*

The scoring system is supposed to depend on rarity, yet a daily find here is worth more than a migratory find. The "sighting accepted" email from the verification people are flat out rude and extremely condescending. Majority of species missing, yet when you add it, you're told its that but more likely something different.....huh???Personally I'll be deleting my account and app from both my iPad and phone. A good idea but poorly executed.

### 3/5 — Great app, new update keeps crashing though

*2022-08-24, version 10.0.18*

I love this app, I’ve been doing the uni BioQuest and it’s great… but I just updated the app and now it crashes every time I try to open it on my phone so I can’t upload any of my new sightings :( 

I tried deleting the app and reinstalling it, restarting my phone and a few other things but nothing seems to work so I think it must be a bug in the app itself. It still works on my laptop so I can identify other people’s sightings, but I can’t upload any of my own, so it’d be great if this could be fixed!

I’d love to be able to give QuestaGame a higher rating because it is a great app and it has made me far more observant of the world around me in the short time I’ve been playing, so once this crashing problem is fixed it’ll be great.

### 3/5 — Great game, app needs improvements

*2020-01-10, version 6.65*

I love this game, the idea and what it does. Also, I really hope it succeeds. I would have a good chance of succeeding if the app made some dramatic improvements- An easy design fix is to make all text readable, some is dark on a dark background. Some explanations could be clearer. App crashes whenever i click to add field notes, which is a crucial part of the game i can’t play because of that. I run iOSX on quite a new phone. When is it available on iPad? kids (who don’t have phones) would love this.

### 5/5 — Great fun, helping nature

*2026-02-25, version 10.0.28*

This app inspired me to stop and study the remarkable animals and plants around me and learn more about them and show others the cool things I’ve found.

### 5/5 — Great

*2023-12-19, version 1.0.25*

Now I get internet points for my animal photos.

### 5/5 — Questa Game

*2021-04-15, version 9.2*

This is a brilliant app and provides the community at large to partake in citizen science and have fun at the same time. Give it a go, and get out there and discover our amazing natural world.

### 5/5 — Eye opening & addictive

*2021-03-22, version 9.1*

This app has given me a new sense excitement and discovery every time I step outside the house and see a living creature to photograph and identify. Climbing the rankings appeals to my competitive side and seeing other people’s finds reminds me that I live in a vast, diverse and beautiful country/world.

### 5/5 — Fantastic app

*2020-10-10, version 9.0*

Such a good app for nature lovers. I love having my nature finds identified by people who know. Thanks QuestaGame!

### 5/5 — Great for kids and adults

*2020-09-13, version 8.8*

Great way for kids to learn and experience what nature has to offer even in your back yard. And as an adult I’m hooked.

### 5/5 — 🙂🙂🙂

*2020-09-13, version 8.8*

Best game, so much fun!!!

### 5/5 — Best Game

*2020-04-20, version 8.0*

This game is great for anyone who wants to get outside and help save the world!

### 5/5 — Such a fun game - and productive too!

*2020-04-14, version 8.0*

This game has totally changed the way I see nature. It offers a way to find out what the cool things I see are and get extra information about them all while earning points (which appeals to my competitiveness!) and helping science and conservation. I have learned so much more about biodiversity both near me and in the places I visit, it makes me excited to be anywhere to see what I can find, what is the same and what is different. You don’t need to know anything to play this game which also makes is a great equaliser for people of any knowledge or background. Totally recommend!

### 5/5 — Educational and fun

*2020-04-14, version 8.0*

This game encourages you to look more closer at nature and its diversity. It improves your knowledge of the natural world and develops your photographic skills.
