「世界の昆虫採集」は現実の時間で展開する架空の森を探索しながら、世界の昆虫を採集していく知育エンターテイメントアプリです。 昆虫がいそうな場所、時間にエサを仕掛けたり、よ~く目をこらし隠れている昆虫をみつけたり、 反射神経を使って飛んでいる虫をつかまえたりします。 さらにつかまえた虫はしらべることにより、名前や情報がわかり遊びながら昆虫の生態を学べます。 すべての昆虫をつかまえて、オリジナルの図鑑を完成させましょう! ■ここがすごい! 【昆虫の特性を学ぼう!】 アプリ内の森は現実の世界とシンクロしています。朝に訪れれば日差し降り注ぐ小鳥の声に包まれ、夜に訪れれば闇の中に蛍が舞います。 たとえば夜行性の虫ならば夜にしか採れません。高く飛ぶ虫なら木の上を見なければなりません。ある昆虫は木の葉そっくりのため、じっくり捜さないと見つからないかも知れません。 実際の昆虫の特性を理解しつつ行動することがコレクションのカギなのです。 図鑑が完成するころには昆虫博士になっているかも? 【超美麗3DCGで構築された世界】 前作「巨虫図鑑」で好評いただいた3DCGレンダリングをさらに強化し、圧倒的リアルなCGイメージで昆虫が再現されています。3DCGの特性を活かし、360度回転させルーペで拡大しながら細部まで観察可能にしました。また森では時間にあわせ環境音も変化します。リアルなネイチャーサウンドを体感いただけます。是非ヘッドフォンで楽しんでみてください。 【ぜんぶで約70種類の昆虫たち】 収録されている昆虫は全部で約70種類です。日本でおなじみの昆虫から、驚くべき姿をしたカマキリ、忍者のように擬態するバッタ、宝石のような蝶など実在するユニークな昆虫を世界中から集めました。発見した昆虫は図鑑に登録され詳細な情報をみることができます。昆虫採集で遊んだあとは図鑑としてお楽しみいただけます。 【このアプリを楽しむためのポイント】 はじめてインストールしたときはエサも少ないです。最初に虫のいないタイミングに森に訪れた場合、何もリアクションのない世界で面食らうかもしれません。 このアプリの楽しみ方はとにかく「待つ」ことです。特に端末に負荷がかかるようなプログラムを使っていませんので、長い目でのんびりまったり遊んでみてください。1日あれば楽しさを分かって頂けると思います。 お子さんと一緒に遊んで頂けたら幸いです。 ※注:ipad2,iphone4以降推奨です。

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: 世界の昆虫採集 at 5.0 against Homes by Tinybop's 4.3. 世界の昆虫採集 also leads on iOS requirement (6.0 vs 12.0). Homes by Tinybop's advantage is review sentiment (63% vs 30%) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 52 months). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

世界の昆虫採集 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Homes by Tinybop has 100 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 30% of 世界の昆虫採集's written reviews are positive against 63% of Homes by Tinybop's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

世界の昆虫採集 ships an update every 52 months, Homes by Tinybop every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
