Ratings and Reviews
Indispensable for conservation
I work and volunteer for a zoo, which means guests look to me for information about the species they see.
This app is so beautiful and full of facts, which makes learning a pleasure. It’s been running smoothly, hasn’t crashed or glitched.
I expect to begin carrying along my iPad and share with zoo visitors, hoping the visuals will draw guests to care even more about endangered species and the global environment.
From a passionate conservationist, thank you for creating this app. Love it.
Great app!
An impressive app and for free! I would have easily paid for this and yet it's free and thus it's a hundred out of ten app. Big thanks and love for who contributed to making this app
This app...
Is awesome! We used in class and it actually worked!
