### 5/5 — Pure cinema

*2026-08-28, version 2.11.0*

Needs an update that’d be even better

### 5/5 — One of my favorite Games!

*2026-07-03, version 2.11.0*

Pleeeease update with new shops and decorations. Would spend more money on this game if there were reg updates!

### 3/5 — Was a fun game to play

*2026-06-20, version 2.11.0*

This was a great game to play for about a year. By that time, you’ve gotten the majority of coin animals and the “special” animals and decorations for holidays are being repeated. I don’t recommend spending real money only because it’s not a game that gives enjoyment for years. (the game itself doesn’t give much game cash)

### 5/5 — Yes

*2026-06-14, version 2.11.0*

Fun but lost media?? Almost

### 4/5 — PLEASE UPDATE !!!

*2026-05-24, version 2.11.0*

I have loved this game since it came out. I have played it on and off over the years, it’s entertaining and well thought out. This most recent time around downloading to play, I’m saddened to see it’s slower, no one is monitoring or updating it anymore, and the quests aren’t properly updating. Still going to play until it gets to a point where I can’t, but I would LOVE for someone to just take a little time to refresh and update it for the OG’s who want to play it now. It’s too amazing to give up on!

### 5/5 — Please Update! :’(

*2026-04-04, version 2.11.0*

It’s my favourite game. please please update it for us fans

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-02-17, version 2.11.0*

Love the game BUY IT FOR FREE AND GET THE BEST OF YOUR OWN TIME FOR YOUR OWN

### 5/5 — Still here in 2026

*2026-02-08, version 2.11.0*

Playing on and off since it came out ... still love it!

### 2/5 — Great fun!

*2026-02-04, version 2.11.0*

Doesn’t fully load all the animals and decorations around the zoo

### 4/5 — Fun Game, Stops Working

*2025-12-23, version 2.11.0*

I get a new game obsession every few months. I’ve been playing Tiny Zoo for nearly a year and it’s at the point where it’s just not working anymore. The game hasn’t been updated since 2013, and frankly it’s shocking that its working at all. I’m currently at level 75, and I stopped getting any new quests or unlocking anything at about level 50. I’ve tried every way I could think of to force the game to register new data short of resetting the game. The animal stock shockingly changes with the season, which has been my main motivation for playing. I just got the Christmas animals, which I was so excited to try, only to find out that the data not updating my quests also extended to other key aspects of the game, mainly crossbreeding, which prevented me from getting the fina few collections I wanted to complete before I stopped the game. Unfortunately, it seems like I’ll have to end things early. With no new content, and the game barely working on newer phones, it’s just not worth it. I would literally give anything if it meant that this game was updated, or at least monitored. I have felt the urge to learn coding solely to make the game usable
