Used to be my daily check but can’t be bothered to wait so long. ### 4/5 — Safari Outdoor App *2026-02-09, version 4.5.6+413* The app is sometime difficult to navigate. The verification doesn’t go through sometimes. It does make you feel that the process is great for preventing fraud, scams, or issues. Would recommend! ### 5/5 — Very user friendly APP with Sterling content *2025-11-09, version 4.5.4+400* The app is easy to use and the content is what I enjoy…Thus better than Instagram and X! ### 5/5 — Great Platform to connect outdoorsmen *2025-10-21, version 4.5.4+400* Great platform and easy to use, would like to suggest to developers some sort of rating system for users to rate each other after using app to trade/sell with one another to add a layer of security with increasing amounts of scammers abusing the platform ### 5/5 — General *2025-08-13, version 4.5.4+400* Great app to download all the latest news in the hunting world and getting info that you can get anywhere else. Amazing promos that happen every month download now for free. ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2025-08-13, version 4.5.4+400* It really helps in so many areas , buying and selling on Market and getting advice on firearm related issues ### 5/5 — Great app for outdoor enthusiasts!! *2025-08-04, version 4.5.2+396* The Safari Outdoor app is a solid companion for anyone who loves hunting, fishing, camping, or general outdoor activities. The layout is clean and easy to navigate, and I found it simple to browse categories like firearms, optics, clothing, and accessories. One of the things I really like is the wide range of products available — especially local and trusted outdoor brands. The stock availability checker across branches is also super handy, especially if you’re planning a quick visit to a store. The app runs smoothly overall, though there are occasional minor bugs — like images taking a bit long to load or the app needing a refresh to update cart contents. It would be great if they added wishlist functionality or notifications for when items are back in stock. Overall, it’s a very useful tool for South African outdoor lovers, especially if you shop at Safari Outdoor often. Definitely worth downloading ### 4/5 — Works Most Times *2025-04-01, version 4.3.3+384* Great app sometimes crashes after updates, but generally works as it’s supposed to. ### 5/5 — Amazing app! *2024-11-25, version 4.2.47+370* The app works really well and has helped me a lot in terms of me being able to ask questions etc. to grow my knowledge and solve some license related issues. ### 5/5 — Just makes owning a weapon so much easier. *2024-11-18, version 4.2.46+369* The safari app is to shooting what Handicaps network is to golf. Keeping track of my activities and weapons status. Market place to buy and sell, what a pleasure! ### 4/5 — Can’t access the market place *2024-11-10, version 4.2.45+368* The work greats but you can’t access the market place or see the available raffles ### 5/5 — Power app really makes things eazy. *2024-08-20, version 4.2.37+348* Power app makes applications tracking Eazy. Community engagement a plus with all posts and market place. Keep up the good work can’t wait for my coffee and pie. Thank you legends ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2024-08-20, version 4.2.38+354* Thanks for creating a safe environment for likeminded people to share their experiences. I don't have to worry about people who are against hunting ! ### 5/5 — delays *2024-08-05, version 4.2.37+348* I like the app alot, the only thing I picked up is that it seem to have a delay on the report regarding your lisence and renewal aplications. It stays the same for many weeks, then all of a sudden it jumps a couple of steps. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Used to be a gr8 App *2026-02-09, version 4.5.6+413* This used to be an awesome app but recently there are more issues than at a militant Political party rally My Ex-Girlfriend gave me Less issues than this App!! If people have to rate your stores against this app they will never go to your stores! BUT Fortunately for you, your staff in stores are more helpful than your App! ### 1/5 — Verification email fail *2025-09-11, version 4.5.4+400* Terrible that this bug remains after several weeks ### 1/5 — Rafle process *2025-03-01, version 4.3.2+382* I recently participated in Safari Outdoor's raffles, and I noticed an issue that I believe affects the fairness of the process. While there is an initial limit of 5 tickets per person, I discovered that by simply going out the raffle and returning, it allows you to buy additional tickets, bypassing the original limit. This creates an unfair advantage for those who are able to repeatedly buy tickets, I believe raffles should be truly fair, with each person having an equal chance to participate, and I would recommend reviewing the system to ensure a more equitable process for all players. ### 1/5 — License tracker not working *2024-08-30, version 4.2.39+358* The license tracking in the app is even worse than the process of applying for said license. Common guys, do better. ### 1/5 — Needs work *2024-05-23* App crashes whilst browsing classifieds. License application tracking mixes up steps for different applications when multiple applications are tracked. Great idea to create a place where likeminded people can share, but it’s a frustration to use. ### 1/5 — Needs work *2024-05-20* App crashes whilst browsing classifieds. License application tracking mixes up steps for different applications when multiple applications are tracked. Great idea to create a place where likeminded people can share, but it’s a frustration to use. ### 1/5 — Doesnt work anymore *2024-03-25, version 4.2.27+324* This app used to be great . Now doesnt work anymore . My current account cant be verified . just wont verify , tried creating several new accounts , got banned ! Verification policy makes the app unusable . Cant post , cant view contact details of other who post . completely useless . This is very bad considering my original review was 5 stars for this app. Tried contacting safari outdoor and no one knows how to fix it . ### 1/5 — Could be better *2022-06-05, version 3.3.3+179* I am excited to start using the app. However it can be better. I really have an issue where the screen navigates back to the creation of profile screen. I’ve already created it 3 times and still no luck. I really want this app to work. Will revisit my review once the issue is resolved and I’ve used it for longer. ### 2/5 — Search function needs improving *2026-03-18, version 4.5.6+413* Some scamming takes place in the advertising. They can do some work on the search functionality. After they change the market functionality I do not use this any longer ### 2/5 — App changes *2025-07-02, version 4.5.2+396* I really used to enjoy this app,it was perfect, however the latest updates to the market place and contact details are really frustrating. I know it is for some sort of safety reason but it is really a downgrade from what this platform once was. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Problem *2026-07-07, version 4.5.8+420* Hello there i am not able to view the marketplace on safari t keeps taking me to a Firebace? ### 5/5 — Hunting supplies *2026-05-31, version 4.5.8+420* Lynwood always there to help and answer to my needs and Stonewolf always making a plan on short notice. ### 5/5 — Guns *2026-05-29, version 4.5.8+420* The reliable outdoor i have ever used The are no scams, if you are interested in one of the items shown, what you see is what you will get, you negotiate your nearest safari outdoor and the item will be shipped to that store safe ### 5/5 — Verify locations by request does not work *2026-05-26, version 4.5.8+420* Location verification ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-05-22, version 4.5.8+420* This is great, it connects an entire community to share and come together to ask for advise and share moments ### 5/5 — Brilliant App *2026-05-03, version 4.5.7+419* Have been using the app for awhile now and its a great app to track your firearm process with SAPS as well as buying from their marketplace.

I preferred the marketplace when it was in app, but do understand the reasoning it had to change. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
