Amazing concept poor app
I absolutely love the concept and as an animal lover would love to just watch live feeds and maybe see an animal and help. Sadly when I tried to register it wouldn't let me, I checked all the information and nothing was misspelt but just wouldn't let me create an account. I really hope they fix this issue in the future

App doesn’t open
Tried to tell this information through app support but it wasn’t available. Just downloaded app on iPhone with IOS 16.5 and app doesn’t open, just flickers and closes.
This crashes upon opening
Disappointing
Can’t open app
I was excited about this after hearing about it from a friend. Every time I tap the app to start it, it just shuts down and doesn’t open. Really disappointing.
App
Downloaded on my iPhone 12pro max.
Splash screen opens then the app shuts down.
Uninstall and reinstall does not help.

App crashes on opening
Downloaded after reading BBC article about citizen shark research in Welsh sea. Unfortunately it has never worked; just crashes after flipping my iPad screen. Sad.
Fails to open
Have tried loading twice but app crashes each time when opened. Disappointing.
Wont load.
I’ve just downloaded this app, but when I tap the onscreen icon it just flips the whole page over back to the icon.
Why put it in the news?
Just downloaded this after reading a BBC news article saying ZSL need more people to use it. You’d think they’d check it works before the article was released wouldn’t you?
App doesn’t work
Downloaded the app, but it doesn’t load and no support from ZSL
Rubbish
I can’t even open the app.
App no longer works
Sadly this once brilliant app does not even open any more.
Former review:
Unputdownable:
I spend more time on this app than pretty much anything else. What could be more fun than going on a safari to Kenya, Costa Rica, Italy or the Thames Estuary (eh?) and identifying wild animals from the comfort of your own armchair? And furthermore know that all the fun you’re having is helping scientists research or monitor species and habitats around the world?! Get this app.

Sad to go, the app killed it
More than ten years and 10s of thousands identified. When this app replaced the old one, it killed it. The app is unusable. Instant wild “fixed” it by deleting the old accounts even as we were attempting to logon and get our “quota” to avoid deletion. A sad goodbye.
Crashes
App crashes upon opening. This has been the case for a few weeks.
No longer works but it was a great run and could have been paid for
The app was buggy, and not brilliantly designed, but people persevered with it and got a lot of enjoyment. It offered a window to worlds we couldn’t get to through lockdown. It would have been well worth paying for though if the money had gone to improvements and conservation. Could have been 5 star, but no longer works.

App doesn’t work :-(
Every time I click on this app, it opens onto the starting screen and then just cuts out back to my Home Screen.
What happened??
This app no longer works at all and appears to have been completely abandoned by ZSL. It would be such a shame for it to be moth balled now we are stuck at home more than ever. Please please update this and get it back working. I know I and many others will have enjoyed identifying the species that stroll by the cameras all over the world.

Sadly, this version is useless
Before this app was rewritten several years ago, it was the reason I bought a new phone. I played it every day and had thousands of animal IDs logged on the app.
After the upgrade I was unable to access any of my IDs and assumed that they just needed to work some bugs out.
It’s still completely unusable. Crashes, or returns to a long list of photos that will not allow the user to ID anything. If you scroll past there are more photos from other cameras, but clicking on them makes the app crash.
Really sad. This was my all time favorite app.

Fun citizen science!
Awesome App! Fun and easy!
Just one suggestion for some new catergories. Especially useful is "unidentifiable” for when you see just a boss part like an ear. Perhaps also some general categories auch as “insect” or “small bird”.

I now have a crying daughter - gee, thanks guys!
This app is rated at 4+ and so my 10yr old daughter was really looking forward to getting signed up to contribute. She was really excited.
Now she’s in floods of tears because because you can’t do anything of value without signing up and you need to be 16+ to do that.
The app uses a comments section provided by Disqus - and we wont be lying in order to sign up nor have the associated risks of leaving a 10yr old in a potentially unsafe space.
Please rate this app at 16+ to set expectations appropriately instead of upsetting children like this!
