Cependant il y a de plus en plus de hacker et ça devient pénible. Certains ne sont pas méchant mais sans le faire exprès ils vous fait crash le jeu et maintenant impossible de me connecter sans crash ### 4/5 — 튕김 문제.. *2026-02-21* 다 좋은데 튕김 문제만 고치면 좀 편할 듯.. ### 2/5 — Max spino *2026-02-06, version 9.3.0* I like the game but you need to fix some glitch like Relly my game just froze and my character just disappeared out of no where you need to fix the game more often ### 3/5 — Missing the old wao *2026-01-08, version 9.3.0* I used to LOVE this game. In every way, I thought it was perfect. I still think it’s pretty good however, it’s absolutely filled with hackers. It’s so easy now for players to reach 90 just within a day! It’s UNBEARABLE for the players that actually want to level up without hacks. I remember the day I reached level 40 without any hacks whatsoever. It took about three months of hard grinding in champions battle. I was so happy. Now anyone can easily do that just in a few minutes. But it doesn’t feel as accomplishing. Really, it feels like nothing. Also these ai images being used is really off putting. Nobody likes it. And people miss the old theme music for the game. Also, Zombie Battle should not have been removed. That was literally the only way zombies could level up quicker without any hacks. Apart from the hacks, their only option would be to kill other players but they can’t do that when the players are level freaking 90. There are also a lot of bugs that need to be fixed. Instead of spending time adding ai images to the game, use that time to make it so players don’t fall outta the map when fighting bosses in monster field. I really think the collision update was totally unnecessary. I believe these changes can make wao great again. ### 2/5 — This game is dead 💀 *2026-01-05, version 9.3.0* Ok I am going to be telling the reasons why in 3 paragraphs 1:horrible updates This is (probably)the main reason people don’t like this game anymore. When fish and birds were added,the birds don’t fly and the fish hover over the ground and can survive out of water.the beach,construction and polluted sea maps all SUCK. The construction is super boring and only has a construction vehicle as a boss, the polluted sea looks cool but has little to offer other than the op shark boss, and let’s be honest, no one wants to fight buff giant men having a beach party(it’s an animal simulator🤦). Then there’s of course the ai images that look worse than the ones from Dino online(they look awful) 2:bugs Ok no game has no bugs,I get it, but there are some that are HUGE(that you don’t fix) such as NO sound,the zombie version of this game in the monster arena,you spawn on a mountain and get killed by the monster hand forever and you never spawn anywhere else,and much more. 3:hackers This game and all the rest of 1 games games all have hundreds of hackers and do nothing about them. Like I see dragons in the Amazon map,die to level 1 creatures in 3 hits and kill something and get negative points. These games went from being interesting to pay to win,AI,hacker playground ### 2/5 — Get it together *2026-01-02, version 9.3.0* Stop adding more animals and help make the game playable for players I hate dealing with the rude hackers who ruin the game and people finding out more ways to hack and mess this game up ### 2/5 — 'The End of Animal games' is true. *2025-12-13, version 9.2.1* This game needs desperate fixing. You cannot kill the boss meaning the wings are unobtainable (despite seeing others with wings?? Unless they bought those) and there's quite a lot of tag-teaming. This game should've been left as it is. ### 3/5 — Crashing & hackers *2025-11-22, version 9.2.1* It’s a fun game but the thing is you have to deal with hackers plus the game crashes ### 4/5 — Crashing *2025-11-17, version 9.2.1* My game keeps on freezing and everyone disappears and I have high states and I don’t wanna delete the game because I spend a lot of money on it and can you please fix this I love the game. ### 2/5 — Nice but a bit tricky…😊😞 *2025-11-02, version 9.2.1* I like the game but a warning to those who run at the fist sight of danger you “have” to “fight”, when you do there’s no turning back.Plus your name can only be 3 to 7 letters long if you could make the fox run faster I will do a better review. 5 stars,😊Nice game though. ### 2/5 — Hackers Must Be STOPPED.. *2025-11-01, version 9.2.1* I used to play this game years ago and sadly checking back in currently I can still see why I left and will continue to not indulge in this game: hackers. I’d spend a lot of money on this game if there weren’t people within it that make buying anything in the app pointless. What’s the point of giving an app money if the stuff I receive from any purchases will be ultimately abused? Fix the security of your apps developer(s), please. Hopefully one day I can return to a game that is actually fun, just disappointing for the one thing its creators refuse to provide: protection/security. ### 4/5 — iOS stats *2025-10-16, version 9.2.1* Can you please fix iOS stats, cus keep crashing when stats are to high and droid don’t have problem with their stats but I do and so does other iOS players. The game still good been playing since 2016 but I’ll appreciate if you could fix stats for iOS, cus crashes at 200. Whilst droid can go really high. ### 4/5 — Please add more save slots *2025-10-15, version 9.2.1* It’s a fun game but there is now 118 different animals and only 5 save slots. Now Ik it would be a lot to have a save slot for every single animal which would be nice but if that isn’t possible maybe 30-50 save slots would be nice at least. Ik a lot of other ppl have the same opinion. We just want to be able to save more animals 🥲🥲 ### 2/5 — Please add *2025-10-10, version 9.2.1* Can you please add a mode where you can just hang out and players can’t kill each other because I’m tired of being killed while trying to hang out and play as an otter as the community here is toxic and I’m bullied and targeted so please change ### 1/5 — Please Fix *2025-10-09, version 9.2.1* Came back today after a couple years and found out the game is completely unplayable! There’s hackers/cheaters everywhere that instantly kos and barely anyone one plays the events anymore since there’s cheats. So please sort this out and make the game enjoyable again. Until then i will not be buying anymore animals if i can’t enjoy playing and aren’t you going to make a map for the aquatics? They look very odd on land… ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Hacker *2026-08-15, version 9.3.2* Hacker, mod game ### 1/5 — childhood game *2026-08-11, version 9.3.2* its like midnight rn and im scrolling thru the app store looking at all the games i played as a kid,,, i used to love this one, but that doesnt mean im not gonna write a fair review. ik its been a long time since ive played this game (prob almost a decade gulp) but i remember back then there was absolutely no chat filter, ppl would say some pretty heinous things and there would be a bunch of creeps trying to ERP with other players😭 not sure if theyve added one now but it shouldve always been a feature tbh. most of the players were also just straight up rude/toxic and i also remember there was a big problem with ppl impersonating each other bc there was no real account system (again havent played in years so idk if things r different now) so you could always just change ur name to someone elses and claim to be them. also all of the cool animals were behind a paywall eugh. from what im seeing from these recent reviews the game is still money hungry, has a massive hacker problem, and using ai art which sucks to see💔💔 let this game rest pls ### 1/5 — You have to pay 💰 *2026-05-30, version 9.3.2* You are only restricted to a few herbivores and carnivores and you have to pay to get more animals, so you can’t play your favorite animals if you aren’t aloud to purchase anything. This game is unplayable if you are dying to play you favorite animal and it won’t let you. ### 1/5 — ai usage is disappointing *2026-05-14, version 9.3.2* bruh hire an artist this is doodoo ### 1/5 — U CANT run!!??? *2026-05-06, version 9.3.2* This game sucks why can’t I run as a wolf ### 1/5 — Terrible *2025-12-25, version 9.3.0* ok so firstly.. theres 𝗪𝗔𝗬𝗬 too many hackers that abuse their powers and kill the whole server.. this is annoying because sometimes you cant even spend 1 minute in the game before you die im level 91 and even im getting killed and its mostly due to the annoying stat crashes. when you go over 160 you start to get what people call "the invisible crash" AKA invis crash. this is where your stats are too high and suddenly every character and button dissappears so literally all thats left is the empty map..then shortly after, you get kicked out the game.. this is 𝗜𝗡𝗖𝗥𝗘𝗗𝗜𝗕𝗟𝗬 annoying as this means hackers or android users with anti crash kill you even though you have the points to upgrade but you cant because of the invis crash. also the chat is unfiltered so people can say 𝗟𝗜𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗔𝗟𝗟𝗬 whatever they want..very bad game and the maps are glitchy, the fish boss is immortal and the construction boss keeps going to 0 health and not giving wings and basically all the maps are deserted exept amazon..the rest of the maps are used for hacking points or "pos" which basically gives you points and exp with every hit.. anyways i would not recommend because 1Games is a 𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗥𝗜𝗕𝗟𝗘 T͟E͟R͟R͟I͟B͟L͟E͟ company with a greed for money. And dont follow them on social media or youtube btw because they are just begging Thanks for reading ### 1/5 — Вы совсем???? *2025-12-13, version 9.2.1* ПОЧЕМУ В ИГРЕ НУЖНО ПОЧТИ ЗА КАЖДОЕ ЖИВОТНОЕ ПЛАТИТЬ НАСТОЯЩИЕ ДЕНЬГИ???? Ладно если бы деньги были игровыми и их нужно было добывать убивая животных… ### 1/5 — FIX iOS stats *2025-12-05, version 9.2.1* This game is annoying because iOS users crash when stats too high and it Annoying because android don’t get this and iOS stats crash at 180 and it’s breaking the game because we have to start all over again and people kill you because your weak but u have a stronger animal but can’t get revenge because it crashes.. fix this for your stars back ### 1/5 — Too many hackers *2025-11-13, version 9.2.1* If you wanna play this game and actually enjoy it don’t even bother because you can’t even join in for five seconds without somebody crashing you. Fix your game people, LOL ### 1/5 — Horrible cheap graphics full with hackers *2025-10-29, version 9.2.1* Is still as horrible and expensive as before full of hackers horrible graphics and warped animals…. If I could would be 0 starts 8 years of the same don’t event install…. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great game, fix stats *2025-12-25, version 9.3.0* This is a great game, i have been playing since the day it came out. You keep adding new maps and animals that don’t work properly rather than actually improving the game. All you need to do is fix the stat limits, especially for ios devices, fix the bugs and install decent firewalls to combat the hackers with regular updates and the game would be like it used to be. I remember people in monster field and the various battles fighting to win and teaming with your own kind then completely taking over servers and slowly levelling. It created great friendships. All this game creates now is drama due to the endless hackers and fake relationships based on who can help you level or crash those you hate. Everyone has hacks to make them immortal and abuse that on legit players like myself. They take over the places like construction site(great addition by the way) and crash or kill you if you don’t rejoin immediately so they can hack the server and get free wings/points. They will even do that if you have been legit killing the boss for ages by yourself. Make this game great again, sell to someone who knows what they’re doing if you have to, just do something! ### 5/5 — Remove fish *2025-12-21, version 9.3.0* Fish make the game unrealistic, please remove them. ### 5/5 — Very Fun, Although Chaotic 😅 *2025-11-14, version 9.2.1* This game is fun on its own, you can pretty much be any animal you wish in this game and the marine animals can be earned! Yes there’s some animals you have to buy but I think you’ll enjoy the animal you will pick. However there’s downsides to playing this game, the game is riddled with hackers at every turn. Some are nice and some are not so nice at all, you just have to gamble and hope the ones in the game session you’re in are either friend or foe. A good majority are friendly as long as you’re not provoking. Overall a very fun game PVP is crucial with minor PVE elements and I recommend you try it out if you wish! ### 5/5 — Nice *2025-10-11, version 9.2.1* Game is championally good, But i would recommend for only 15+ users. ### 5/5 — На 500 рублей можно много купить!!!! *2025-09-14, version 9.1.0* Здравствуйте разработчики примерно 16-17 сентября я куплю у вас 2 животных!!! Я очень рада!!! ### 5/5 — Спасибо за чудесную игру!!!❤️❤️❤️ *2025-08-24, version 9.0.0* Игра мне примерно подарила детство!и также ваши другие игры!!❤️❤️❤️❤️‍🩹кстати,почему у меня животные появляются бесплатно? ### 5/5 — Crashing *2025-07-26, version 9.0.0* My game keeps on crashing wen a moster or player use power I have wings and high states and if you help I’ll be really happy ### 5/5 — Rattlesnake locked without a price tag *2025-07-25, version 9.0.0* Rattlesnake is locked without a price tag ,please fix. ### 5/5 — Free animal Australia *2025-07-19, version 8.1.0* Je to super Ale že ňekterá zvířata třeba kasuar a tasmanský čert stojí hodně peněz 😡😤😢 ### 5/5 — Add more animals *2025-07-09, version 8.1.0* Add badger, goat, frog, sloth, parrot, rabbit, antelope, mammoth, saber tooth tiger, Pallas cat, --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
