Great app, now what?

Completed the mission now it's just stuck on the final screen. Is that all there is? Can we at least start again? And there was a bunch of animals on the map which we couldn't access, are they unlocked somehow? Overall a great idea , you just need to fill a few gaping holes in the UI (or make things a little more user friendly)

Pretty good

My 9 year old daughter says:

It was really interesting. I learned some new facts and found new animals I didn't know about. I was a bit disappointed when I finished the report and now I can't do any more.

Mum says: the app is now saying mission complete, despite changing the settings to clear user data. Hopefully it will reset so the other kids can have a go!
