Seit dem letzten Update wird die WLAN- Verbindung im Spiel- und nur da- immer wieder unterbrochen. Die neuen Tiere etc. in den letzten Updates sind,na klar, nur mit Gold zu haben. Man kann auch etwas verschlimmbessern. Schade finde ich auch, dass man keine Anlagen und Habitate löschen oder verkaufen kann- mein Lager ist übervoll. ### 3/5 — Thuc vì nó *2026-07-19, version 5.2.1* Thuc is a big deal ### 4/5 — Great Game But Too Much Happening *2026-06-18, version 5.1.2* Very fun game with lots to do but there is a lot happening on screen and quite a few annoying pop ups. Game needs to be more organized so things are easily accessible without having so many buttons and features on screen. ### 3/5 — Too Much Time/Money Required *2026-06-09, version 5.1.1* Have been playing a short time but can already see that this game is going to require too much time and money to build it out. ### 2/5 — Could be great but needs improving *2026-05-15, version 5.1.0* You really need to be able to collect the cash from all the shops at once as most of the game is just clicking on every shop individually and as the game goes on there are hundreds of shops so it gets really monotonous. Also I am quite far on in the game and all of a sudden I can’t play any videos which means I now can’t play the game very well anymore. Shame…. As it could be really good. ### 2/5 — Wayyyy too many ads *2026-05-15, version 5.1.0* L ads ### 4/5 — Update, Zoolife *2026-05-01, version 5.0.0* Pretty annoyed I finally saved up enough to get a “legendary” habitat and I was awarded with the only one I ALREADY HAVE! My rating just went down a star ### 5/5 — Recommended *2026-02-14, version 4.7.1* Wow x this is so addictive x I only have one criticism x maybe you could give coins for certain tasks x only on occasion x but apart from that I love it ❤️❤️ ### 4/5 — My customers look like they don’t give two craps. *2026-01-06, version 4.6.4* I new and so far I’ve really enjoyed playing only being on level sixteen. But… have you ever seen in roller coaster tycoon games that the customers showed expressions instead of just walking around. You need to add a reaction to the customers and also give them certain needs like let me think hmmmm oh! You have a bathroom they could have personal hygiene or hunger and other certain needs to make it a little hard to please the customers. Finally, we should turn taking care of the animals into a job! You have a certain building that’s like the custodian or something. ### 3/5 — It’s ok… *2026-01-04, version 4.6.4* But my biggest problem is…. Gold! I was literally just given some and was FORCED by the game to spend it on a stupid fish in aqua world cuz I just got it even tho I can easily buy it with cash instead like gold is soo hard to get and you need it for like everything but still a good game just pleeasseee change that also make legendary animals easier to get and add more small animals like sugar gliders and Also I had a glitch where my male shire horse turned into a beluga whale and an African wildebeest then a anaconda (I think) when he whinnied for like 0.2 seconds but overall still good game. 👍🏻 ### 5/5 — Omg you need to get this! *2026-01-04, version 4.6.4* Just get it! ### 3/5 — It’s ok… *2025-12-29, version 4.6.4* But my biggest problem is…. Gold!

Gold! I was literally just given some and was FORCED by the game to spend it on a stupid fish in aqua world cuz I just got it even tho I can easily buy it with cash instead like gold is soo hard to get and you need it for like everything but still a good game just pleeasseee change that also make legendary animals easier to get and add more small animals like sugar gliders and Axolotls. ### 3/5 — Okay game *2025-12-04, version 4.6.2* Overall I like it even though progression is slow. Not sure if it’s a money grab thing wanting people to give in and spend a lot of actual money to buy things in the game. Completely dislike the aquarium feature and wish I could remove it ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Gets boring after a while! *2026-04-25, version 4.7.1* Too redundant. Needs better decorations. Disappointing after a certain point. ### 1/5 — Русский язык *2026-02-21* Написано что русский есть, а его нет, в прошлых отзывах вы писали что установите его, прошел год, вы так и не установили. Игру удалю. ### 1/5 — Ads!!!! *2026-01-23, version 4.6.4* To watch the ads for credits are horrible! The ones with two ads in one you don’t get a credit for at all. You have to reopen the zoo app up to eight times sometimes so it runs one ad for one credit. A lot of times it runs two ads in one and it will not allow you to collect a credit. You literally have to reopen the game multiple times and rerun the ads a million times for one credit. I’m not following how this would encourage anybody to play the game.. ### 1/5 — Worst game ever *2026-01-12, version 4.6.4* Player of the game absolutely has no control of what is built in their zoo. Instead the game tells you what the building forces you to build buildings and buy exhibit so you don’t wanna put in. Not to mention the beginning of the game the tutorial is long and stupid change that and I may come back. ### 1/5 — Only way to progress is by spending money *2025-12-09, version 4.6.2* Everything becomes more expensive as you go. Took expansion requires a certain popularity level and coin amount, then as soon as you approach it the popularity level required is adjusted higher and coin amount doubles. You can’t actually expand your zoo without constantly spending money. ### 1/5 — The way it save a is Terrible *2025-11-13, version 4.5.0* I have it so that it is supported to save everything in the cloud but it doesn’t and I have spent money to lose that money for no freaking reason as the things I did with that money is not saved the way it is supposed to be it has deleted my purchases and doesn’t even give me the money back in the game I honestly just want a refund at this point and to quit but it would be a fun game otherwise ### 1/5 — Glitch? *2025-10-21, version 4.4.1* The game has a glitch now. After watching all these adds, it will not give credits anymore. Very disappointing. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t keep you hooked *2025-09-24, version 4.3.1* I really wanted to enjoy Zoo Life because of the concept and visuals look fun, but the point system is really disappointing. Once you max out and purchase all the habitats and facilities, the only way to keep progressing is buy using gold coins - which forces you to spend money - something I’m not willing to do. Without paying, you hit a wall pretty quickly where leveling up feels impossible. Instead of feeling motivated to keep playing, it becomes frustrating. Games like this should keep players engaged not annoyed that progress is locked behind constant spending ### 1/5 — Too redundant *2025-07-13, version 4.0.0* Too redundant ### 1/5 — Как нанять сотрудников? *2025-07-09* Застряла на 4 уровне, все магазины установила, а как сотрудников нанять не пойму, нет русского языка ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Review *2026-08-31, version 5.4.0* This game is fanominal it’s so much fun and edictive ### 5/5 — Relaxing game! *2026-08-28, version 5.4.0* Absolutely love this game. It’s very relaxing ❤️😁 ### 5/5 — So coooool *2026-08-08* Man kann seinen eingeben Zoo aufbauen und man wenn man Langeweile hat dann kann man sich die super vertreiben. Werbung gibt es nur wenn man sie will und das Spiel ist kostenlos. ### 5/5 — Zoo life *2026-08-05, version 5.3.1* It’s the best game in the world ### 5/5 — The fun zoo game *2026-08-01, version 5.3.1* I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. There is so many animals too. ### 5/5 — 時間 *2026-07-11* とても面白いんですがゴールドが手に入りにくかったり広告が長かったり建設に時間がかかるのであまりやることが有りません。アップデートで改善して欲しいなと思いました ### 5/5 — Tolles Spiel *2026-06-21* Das Spiel macht Spass. Es gibt tolle Events und viele Tiere zum Sammeln ### 5/5 — Zoo life *2026-05-24, version 5.1.1* This is the funnest game and is addicting so you better download this game ### 5/5 — No more thing on this *2026-05-02, version 5.0.0* GET THIS GAME NOW! I love it so much and is the second best zoo game I’ve ever played. and I’ve played a lot of zoo games. But, I don’t understand the new potions and berry and PORTAL update, so can you help me??? ### 5/5 — I love zoos *2026-04-10, version 4.7.1* I am always looking for a zoo game to play and this is the one however sometimes you run out of food for the animals like a Lot of the Time and guess what it has my favourite animal in it. It is called a black panther and not many zoo games have them in i highly recommend this game --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
