Since I love cetaceans, this game is great for me, since I don’t usually go around the world studying these magnificent animals yet. I’ve loved cetaceans ever since I was little. I had this game before but I’m unable to download it because it’s not compatible with iOS 11 yet. Please update and I will rate 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ### 5/5 — Can it work on iOS 11? *2019-05-31* This game is amazing! I remember playing it on a different device and loving ever single second of it. This game brought back so many memories and it is great for young oceanographers. My only complaint is that now that I got a new iPad, it won’t let me redownload the app. Is there a way to update REAL WHALES to work on iOS 11? Again, that is my only complaint. In conclusion, this game is amazing. The graphics and sounds are so realistic, it feels as if the player was really on a boat, really whale watching. I HIGHLY recommend this game for anyone into the ocean and the animals that inhabit it. ### 4/5 — I loved this game so much *2019-03-16, version 1.0.5* I absolutely loved this game. It's amazing and fun and actually informational. As I want to be a marine biologist when I'm older, I wanted to learn more about the whales and dolphin is in these games. However, as I updated my phone, I can no longer play this game as the developer NEEDS to update it. Please please please, I really want to play this game again and I loved it so much before when I played it.

Crashes quite often. Some glitches with whales when together. ### 3/5 — Constant crashes. *2016-01-30* The app crashes every time I open it after a minute or two. It would be my all time favorite app if it crashed less or not at all. I loose all my photos I take during the excursion each time it crashes which is frustrating. I think the app could also be improved if the photo scoring happened later and did not interrupt a behavior. ### 3/5 — it's okay *2015-09-29, version 1.0.5* Reviewing for the points...the fact that I want the points suggest that the game is playable! :) ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Deceased *2025-11-09, version 1.0.5* Rest in peace…you were a good game, unlike any iPad game whatsoever nowadays. The 2010’s were a nice time for the App Store, but the 2020’s completely obliterated every last bit of goodness on it. Shame… ### 5/5 — Can you get this app working again, please. *2025-06-04* It’s been a long time since this app was unavailable, Please, can you get it updated for more devices. I want to start playing it again, and continue whale watching for years to come. ### 5/5 — Fallen From Grace-No Longer Compatible or Usable *2024-03-23* Just update it so I can play it!!! Please!!! For the love of god, I loved this game back when it was still compatible. But now? I doubt you’ll see this. I know you’ve abandoned this game. I am only writing a review just to show how much I loved this game. ❤️ ### 5/5 — Very Nostalgic *2022-07-13, version 1.0.5* Loved this game since I was a kid, now I'm revisiting it on an old phone for not-that-old times sake. It's been a while since doing something so tedious and enjoyable :) ### 5/5 — Nostalgia *2022-01-08* I miss this game more than I do my son, I love this game, it was so good, the amount of work Prope put into this game was extraordinary, there are not many whale games anymore, and seeing this one leave is just heartbreaking, just end me already, let me enter heaven and play Real Whales Find the Cetacean. ### 5/5 — LOVE *2021-11-27, version 1.0.5* I used to play this game all the time and I loved it so much hopefully it gets updated so we can all play it on the different IOS!!!!!!! ### 5/5 — Please bring this game back to iOS iPad *2021-03-24, version 1.0.5* theOrcas were my number one favorite I love them so much would be jumping I miss this game please bring it back!!!
