### 4/5 — 9

*2021-08-05*

muy bueno alpicasion pero tiene mucho pro para comprar

### 3/5 — Getting better

*2021-04-12*

App is still expensive for what you get compared to the others from this developer. They added a couple flamingos, elephants and some astrological stuff. 

I’d personally like to see weather events, predatory animals, insects and buildings!!!

**Developer response:** We're sorry you're not happy! The annual subscription offers a 3 day free trial to try everything out first. Also, the subscription plans allow us to keep working on Urban Jungle and adding new content. We have some great ideas planned for adding content throughout the year.

### 5/5 — Super cool and very easy to use

*2021-01-06*

The subscription is definitely worth it. Fun way to make surreal art with photos.

### 1/5 — Scam?!?

*2026-05-14*

Could it get any more brazen?

To take an app I paid for and cripple it to the point, where I can’t even use it anymore—and then sell the “pro” version as exactly what I already paid for.

For me, as a photographer with 35 years of experience, this is an unbelievable outrage.

I don’t want an explanation.

### 1/5 — Complete waste of time

*2024-11-09*

The app offers zero real options in the “free” version, the only animal you get is a giraffe head and the only plant a detached fern leaf, i totally understand having a paywall for extra content, but its misleading to advertise the app as free and then have zero actual “jungle” content available without pay, most apps would have, say 30-50 stickers for free in each category and then an extra few hundred behind a paywall. These images aren't hard to get, they’re stock pictures of animals, the only thing anyone would be paying for is the slight convenience you afford of instant access, but you provide no way to actually try the app to tell if this is worth wasting time on, i wouldnt mind if this was listed as a paid app but the way this app was listed implied there was some free “jungle” content, when there is literally one single sticker per category. Why not just charge for this app on the store instead of baiting us into downloading it just to charge us, especially when we can just paste a png from google in photoshop

### 1/5 — Why Is IT sO BaD

*2021-11-08*

it is the worst that is it the worst

### 1/5 — Subscriptions have no place in hobby apps

*2021-01-26*

I’ve been a fan of BFM ever since I discovered Alien Sky.  I’ve bought the apps and the IAP that was included.  This however is not acceptable.  I will not pay a monthly charge to “rent” some elements and tools.  If I paid for a year just so I can have some pretty pics to upload to IG, once that year is up, everything paid for is gone.  Then there is the dev’s history of barely keeping his older apps updated.  Alien Sky, the Lens apps, SkyLab, and Reflect all could use more content.  Especially Alien Sky and Lens FX, but sadly we’re barely touched after release.  Why would I want to pay a monthly charge when the dev has a history of not supporting his apps.  This is just a bad deal and unless things change, I’m done with the support.

### 2/5 — 12.99/yr Really?

*2022-11-14*

Playing with a pigeon isn’t going to get me hooked enough to pay what’s being asked. By the number of reviews it looks like I’m not the only one. You may want to revisit your marketing strategy. Let the people play with moths and they’ll pay for the butterflies.

### 2/5 — Needs Updates

*2021-09-07*

iPad (Pro model) app is very buggy. Saving feature doesn’t work, I constantly have to re-order my layers when I close the app or whenever it crashes. Blur filter doesn’t work, adjustment/filter menu constantly change locations (it either shows up on the right hand side or on/near the bottom of the screen). There are other issues that I really don’t feel like listing here; the issue with save function is the main one that slows me down bc I constantly have to put layers back where they belong. Hope there will be updates bc I think this app could be really awesome.

**Developer response:** I'm sorry you're having trouble with Urban Jungle. The next update will have a fix for the layer ordering in saved projects. Please contact us at support@brainfevermedia.com so we can provide further help!

### 2/5 — App Design Problems

*2021-01-23*

Ui not good in iphone SE old ...

### 2/5 — Should be a one time purchase vs. annual fee!

*2021-01-09, version 1.0*

$19.99 is definitely not a fair price for an app that someone is not going to use every single day. You should just charge one single fee when you purchase.

### 3/5 — Cool app but…

*2021-06-30*

Getting the mask tool to work is a absolute chore.. The tab needs to be relocated

**Developer response:** I'm sorry you're having trouble with the mask tool. Is the mask button not responding? Please contact us at support@brainfevermedia.com so we can help!

**Developer response:** Thanks for checking out Urban Jungle. To move a layer, use two fingers and drag. Also resize with two fingers. Use one finger to adjust the shadow position. Hope this helps!

*2021-05-23*

I got this app about a month ago, and I started using it with my designs. It’s so much fun to just be able to add a little butterfly, lizard, or whatever, to my graphic designs. It’s very easy to use.
