### 5/5 — MEMORIES

*2022-09-16, version 2.2.0*

I first played this game on my kindle fire when I was like five. That was 8 years ago. I have played it on this iPad for a bit, but have since deleted it. I just wanted to say that this game was a big part of my childhood and I will never forget it. Thank you gameloft for making this game and making my childhood extra special! I will always remember this game!

### 4/5 — Love it but the near constant crashing is frustrating!!!!

*2022-08-25, version 2.2.0*

It’s fun and easy enough to level up. I also love the system it has for coins by adverts once a day. But the near constant crashing is so frustrating! Every time I play it crashes at least once. Sometimes multiple times in a row and I just give up trying to play at that moment. Please please fix this bc I don’t want to uninstall!!

### 3/5 — Always loading

*2022-02-22, version 2.2.0*

This game is so fun, but every time I decide to do something it always says...Loading. Its so annoying and all i want to do is play. Also the coins are annoying. When i am out if coins i have to watch a video. But some good things are I can level up fast, and I can rescue animals, but it is hard to find animals to rescue sometimes.

### 3/5 — Fun game, but watching ads is NECESSARY to advance

*2022-01-25, version 2.2.0*

The game is fun but once you get to a certain point, you need to watch ads to get coins at a fast enough rate to advance- and some of the ads don’t even give you the promised reward: the coins or counting towards getting a special animal. You’ll learn eventually which ones kick you off or don’t count, usually the casino game ads, the iPhone ads, the LEGO ads, etc. when those start I just immediately hop off the game and restart it instead of wasting my time.

### 4/5 — I find it decent

*2021-12-29, version 2.2.0*

Overall, this game is really good. I’ve never seen a game with this level of freedom in how you manage your park. However, I would like it if you would make it so that we would have more than 4 ads a day to earn coins. I was thinking more of something like 10 a day, because expansions get very expensive.

### 3/5 — To many glitches but still amazing

*2021-05-18, version 2.2.0*

So many glitch’s like when I try to go to friends it takes me out and when I try to watch an ad for coins that also takes me out I’ve played this game before and loved it but please just fix this and also when I try to go and find animals kick me out to great game but please just fix the glitches keep up the good work.

### 3/5 — Ads don’t work

*2021-02-22, version 2.2.0*

I love this game and I was really happy when they added the ability to watch ads and earn coins however I got a new phone nothing transferred over which I was annoyed about but I recently re-downloaded it and when I went to watch and ad to be able to get coins to expand my zoom it says loading and makes you think it is going to play a video and then it just doesn’t play and goes back to the zoo menu and it is doing the same thing when I try to watch a video to get an animal. Please fix this bug if there was no issue with the ads I would give it 5 stars because the game is very fun itself just these bugs need to be worked out.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2021-01-28, version 2.2.0*

This is by far the best game of all time, I was able to effortlessly breed two springbrooke and watch their baby grow into adulthood, so beautiful. I started crying tears of joy when I saw it for the first time. I was on a walk with my dog today and he sat for the first time, I was amazed, and then I saved a lion from the Savannah and brought her to a new habitat at the zoo. Fun stuff. I have never been more thrilled.

### 4/5 — Brilliant.

*2020-11-08, version 2.2.0*

“Wonder Zoo” was my whole childhood. Playing this game would be my top priority. My brother and I tried so hard to get these beautiful animals. The graphics are stunning. I’d recommend, but be cautious of one thing.

“Wonder Zoo” is really fun in the beginning. But however, things get unimaginably expensive as you progress and leveling up becomes extremely difficult, so you’ll have to be able to put patience and grind into this game.

All in all?
Graphics: 8/10, can be a bit buggy.
Gameplay: 9/10, very interesting of the way of getting animals for your zoo!
Creativity: 9/10, many zoo games are out there but here you don’t actually buy animals yet rescue injured ones and help them back to the wild, like a real zoo.
In-Game Purchases: 5/10, of course you can buy coins but not needed.
Ads: 4/10, mostly just for free coins and speed up timers.

### 3/5 — LOVE this game but not compatible with iPad 11 yet

*2020-10-15, version 2.2.0*

My 5 year old son started playing this game and fell in love with it except we quickly came to the conclusion it’s not fully compatible with iPad 11 pro. But we were still able to play, just can’t watch adds for extra coins.  Unfortunately When we went to open the app this morning it just keeps saying there is no internet, but we are definitely connected to WiFi with full strength. So perhaps it’s to do with the compatibility. Would love to get an update that includes iPad 11 so we can continue to enjoy the game. I could totally see putting money towards it because it is much more engaging and fun than most other zoo games out there. We have fallen in love with it!
