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) ### 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! ### 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 ### 3/5 — Expansion *2025-10-18, version 2.11.0* It’s a good game but it caps on how many expansions you can have which isn’t too good - would much prefer if it was unlimited ### 3/5 — No friends *2025-10-15, version 2.11.0* No way of adding friends from people who already playing my friends are not interested in playing I need friends to expand my zoo so looks like I will need to stop playing ### 3/5 — Still great but with a few issues *2025-10-15, version 2.11.0* This game was amazing a decade or so ago, but now does not have any support. Most things still work, but some do not. For example, the epic quest opens at level 50, but does not move to the next goal once the first one is completed. Therefore, you can't progress. Still worth playing if you like collecting animals and decorations. ### 4/5 — Great but *2025-10-12, version 2.11.0* I just can’t figure out how to even get animals ### 5/5 — UPDATE *2025-07-04, version 2.11.0* please update the game so i can access this it’s my childhood game it’s my make a wish PLEASE ### 5/5 — Please no zoo bucks *2025-06-25, version 2.11.0* Fwerahwrahuyjffwefthaukawiurethyfwrehuiaykyfeyiuibifaerwhyiiu ### 2/5 — I wanna get the rarer animals but I am NOT shelling out 100 bucks for a game like this. Still good *2025-06-12, version 2.11.0* Man I like the game and played it as a kid. Now looking back it still has charm but the micro transactions are crazy. I wanna get animals I like but I can’t get them because they needs a crazy level of grinding or you need to shell out 100 bucks jst to get them. Pls make it easier for people to progress and you’ve got a good game. ### 5/5 — Great game *2024-12-17, version 2.11.0* Love the game but the only thing I don’t like is there is no “collect all” button anymore. That’s the only thing I miss. ### 4/5 — pls add more expansions *2024-10-22, version 2.11.0* hi team, I’ve been playing this game for over 10 years & I’ve just reached the last expansion with so many more animals to put out 😭 please please, add more expansions so I can make my plan a reality x ### 5/5 — This game keeps my depression at bay *2024-09-18, version 2.11.0* I used to have this as a kid and a few months ago me and my sister redownloaded it. I check this game more than any social media or any other game. The low stimulation of it just makes it so easy to get into, and being forced to wait on things to finish keeps me from spending my whole day on it. Even when my breeding stations are full and I have nothing more to collect from, i’ve spent hours just looking and enjoying the features of the game. I love decorating my zoo and making it pretty and its one of the most satisfying things to do in my free time. I’ve learned about animals I never even knew existed and thoroughly enjoyed it. This game truly is a beautiful thing. Me and my sister will continue to play and spend hours at night on it observing until it doesn’t load or gives up. Thank you to the beautiful people who made this game forever grateful crazyzoogurl ### 5/5 — We need an update *2024-08-15, version 2.11.0* The game is so addective please update the game ### 5/5 — Time really flies… ❤️ *2024-02-04, version 2.11.0* As Tiny Zoo is now over a decade old and hasn’t gotten an update in about 5 years, it’s finally starting to become slower and show its age… I’ve loved this app ever since its release and I’m so sad that things are taking longer to load, makes me realize a lot. I was around 11 years old when this app came out, I’m 22 now— I just don’t know where all the years went. The slow loading times happened out of nowhere a couple weeks ago… time really does fly by way too fast, doesn’t it? I’ve had to restart this game multiple times because data doesn’t transfer to new devices, but I’ve enjoyed it every single time and always will. A refresh is nice because I usually have way too many animals, cubbies and way too much money and nothing to do with it… so I’ve never minded that ❤️ I will ALWAYS download and play Tiny Zoo with every single new phone I get until it’s off of the App Store or decides it doesn’t want to load at all anymore, even if it’s (hopefully) another 11 years down the road… but I can only hope! Thank you Tiny Zoo for occupying me for as long as you have all these years and continue to do so until that final loading day arrives. ❤️ ### 4/5 — Super jeu *2023-12-17* Dommage que les délais dans le jeu soit aussi looong. Jeu très bien. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — They’ve forgotten about us *2025-02-14, version 2.11.0* I’ve had tiny zoo friends for many years. . Leaving it and coming back to it and there my zoo is still . Sadly the developers have pretty much left the building it appears as the problems with the app which I would have thought they would be keen to fix have been ongoing for years . Sad as it is a family friendly game ### 1/5 — Game keeps crashing, no way to contact *2024-01-10, version 2.11.0* I want to participate in the Lady Luck event and crossbreed for her but every time I try and do so the game crashes. I’m hoping somebody sees this soon because the event is going to be over in only a few days and I want to breed for her. In addition this is the only way I’m able to report a problem, which is a very flawed system. ### 1/5 — App crashes *2023-12-09, version 2.11.0* I wanna get the lucky fairy but every time I go to the lab to crossbreed it’s not an option, so then I tired pressing it directly from the goal and the app crashes each time. ### 1/5 — Once you download it again, it’s just the previous game! *2023-08-18, version 2.11.0* I hate when that happens! ### 1/5 — More like Crashy Patch *2023-05-20, version 2.11.0* Ok so I went to check on my cubbies, but it crashes! Please fix it! ### 1/5 — The game won’t load *2023-04-07, version 2.11.0* Everytime I open the game it says there is a error and yo try again later. I haven’t gotten to play the game yet. :( ### 1/5 — Bug *2023-03-27, version 2.11.0* Used to be fun to play but now won’t load saying “need to be connected to the internet” even though I am.

It was my favorite of all the zoo games. I saw it recently here on the App Store and decided to give it another try. But after downloading it, it crashed several times and never allowed me to play the game. This was an amazing app and if you can get it to work on your phone or device then you’ll find an absolute gem of a game. But for now, until I can maybe play it again someday, rest in peace ### 5/5 — Please update *2025-08-09, version 2.11.0* This is like the only good zoo game out there and I don’t want to see this one disappear and I’m sure there are other players willing to play it if you do a major update that lets us have like two or maybe three zoos… can you please do an update before this magical game disappears forever please… --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
