## What is Zoo Sounds?

Take your kids to the zoo, anytime! A fun game to play with your children, and a great distraction to avoid a meltdown. Zoo Sounds features fifteen of the noisiest zoo animals you'll ever meet with six different games for kids of all ages to enjoy. Educate your child with beautiful high-resolution photos of Zebras, Lions, Elephants and more. 

Six Games in One! Designed for Kids of All Ages!

Touch the Animals
Designed for younger children, a large photo of an animal with their name is shown. Touch the animal and it makes the sound. For added fun, turn on "Lots of Animals" in settings and challenge your child by asking them to identify an animal.

Which Animal?
Two animals are shown and a sound is made. Can your child figure out which animal made that sound? If your child taps the correct animal, they go to the next round.

Wooden Puzzle
Play the classic puzzle game. Each of the animals has been made into a puzzle piece. Place the right piece on the right spot to make the animal sound.

Memory Card Matching
Develop your child's memorization skills. 16 cards are presented face down. Tapping the card flips it over and plays the sound. If you find the matching card, they disappear.

Connect the Dots
Help your child practice their fine motor skills and learn their numbers. Connect the dots to discover each of the animals. To help learn the numbers, turn on "Speak Numbers" in settings.

Make Me an Animal!
Choose an animal, take a photo of yourself and record your voice making the sound. We'll turn you into the animal to share with your friends and family. 


What People are Saying

"Your app helped me through a diaper change today. Kept her entertained & still. Just need to figure out how to get the phone back." 

"Our daughter could listen to the animal sounds all day if we didn't need our phones back! She loves it! She taps the animals and then squeals in delight when they make sounds. Very cute to watch!"

"We were in the hospital, my 2.5 year old daughter had pneumonia (5 days in isolation). On day 2 I was looking for anything! This was 2 hours of peace for me, not having to untangle her IV or try to keep her from jumping off the bed. It was also perfect for her to show the nurses when i needed to pop out of the room for a few minutes. I LOVE YOU!!!!!!"

### 2/5 — No sound with 4 app

*2018-05-30, version 3.1*

No sounds not even in all 4 apps and I brought the 4 app package very unhappy

### 1/5 — Bad app

*2017-01-02, version 3.0.1*

Only 15 animals free apps are better. Also makes you think you will get more animals after purchase and you don't.

### 2/5 — Very limited. Disappointing.

*2015-12-15, version 3.0.1*

All the app does is give sounds of some animals, without giving the animal names. Disappointing.

### 5/5 — Awesome for Toddlers!!

*2014-08-06, version 3.0.1*

My grandbaby loves this app!! Well worth the money!! I recommend this app for all Toddlers!!

### 1/5 — Animal App is terrible!!!

*2013-04-06, version 3.0.1*

What a waste of money... It's meant to be Zoo Sounds... It would not work. I am not the kind that normally rights reviews, but I have nothing good today.

### 1/5 — Misleading

*2012-11-07, version 3.0.1*

Don't be fooled by the first caption on the lion. There are not 15,200 animals on this app. I believe there might be 10. Find another app!!!!

### 5/5 — Great!!

*2012-10-25, version 3.0.1*

My son loves this I've got it on my phone and iPad, great if I need to keep him amused while out lol

### 5/5 — A papa life-saver.

*2012-09-28, version 3.0*

A backseat wonder, only heard, "Are we there yet?" a few times.

### 1/5 — 0 star

*2012-08-09, version 3.0*

### 1/5 — Zoo Sounds

*2012-06-24, version 3.0*
