### 1/5 — Obsolete

*2025-09-30*

Ce jeu n’a pas ete mis a jour depuis 2015, comment c’est possible ?

### 5/5 — I love this game

*2025-07-01, version 1.50*

I love this game been playing it since 2013 never change xoxo

### 5/5 — the Addams family

*2025-01-06, version 1.50*

bring it back now or else I’ll be waiting for it right now don’t you know what you are doing to me really

### 5/5 — A new game mode still coming soon

*2022-04-18, version 1.50*

I wonder if the “Match 3” game mode will be released in the next update. Also, when will the scores and achievements with numbers and words come back, too?

### 4/5 — À quand un rectificatif?

*2016-07-17*

Je suis totalement d'accord avec le commentaire de sourispianopluie qui date quand même de juin 2015.
À quand un retour du compteur des animaux déjà photographiés et la possibilité de couper le son?

### 1/5 — Broken Game for a year!

*2016-07-04, version 1.50*

There was an update over a year ago. When I updated my game, it broke. The number counter on top of the game disappeared. So. Is there's no way to tell how many animals are needed to get to the next level. I contacted the developers 3 times a year ago and was ignored. I Facebook messaged them today and tweeted them cause I miss playing this game. But with it not working like it's supposed to how can you play? Hopefully another one star review will get their attention.

### 4/5 — Compteur manquant, son présent

*2015-06-25*

Bonjour Laurel et sa gang,
Ce message se lit en mode humour et sans acrimonie de ma part. 
Je joue depuis très longtemps (en mode zen surtout) et j'adore votre jeu !
J'ai déjà fait des niveaux très importants (300 et des poussières) juste pour voir. Puis j'ai remis à zéro. 
Il me semble qu'après une de vos mises à jour, le compteur des animaux en haut a disparu et j'ignore ceux que je dois compléter (voir la capture d'écran, sauf que votre adresse email ne fonctionne pas). 
Ce n'est pas catastrophique, mais parfois ça m'agace ! 
Par contre, la musiquette pendant le jeu, ça va un moment ! 😜 Je sais, on a la possibilité de couper le son, sauf que ça ne fonctionne pas ; il faut couper le son directement sur l'iPad ou l'iPhone et je n'ai pas toujours envie.
Donc : si vous pouviez rectifier ces deux choses, je serais la plus heureuses des accros de Safari Party !
Bonne continuation à votre équipe !
Et merci à Laurel pour sa chronique des aléas de vos débuts en tant que créateurs (ya des moments où je serre les poings et j'ai les dents qui grincent de rage !).
Amicalement 
Pianopluie 
Mireille Renaud

### 2/5 — Décevant depuis la dernière MAJ

*2015-06-09*

jeu très sympa mais, dernièrement :
- la somme des animaux déjà photographiés n'apparaît plus. On ne sait donc jamais où on en est. 
- quand on perd une partie et qu'on la recommence, des espaces vides apparaissent au milieu des animaux. 

Merci de proposer une nouvelle MAJ !

### 1/5 — Bad update

*2015-06-09, version 1.50*

No more counter in the corner. Lame

### 3/5 — Sympa mais...

*2015-05-27*

Jeu très sympa mais il y a des bugs.
