Comments on Taronga Zoo for Android

★★★★★ Nate Fountain · May 22, 2023

Amazing App! This app is absolutely amazing and is amazing for the zoo experience. You can use it to see what times shows are and where you are in the park. It also lets you know when animals are being fed and if an exhibit is being closed.

★★★★★ Eric Milota · Oct 14, 2019

Oct 14 2019: Attempting to use app from the United States (to plan an up-and-coming trip) and it just closed down immediately after it says "Connecting". It says "Unable to connect to host, please try again" but it never works. I've got good internet connection. Please fix. Update Oct 14 2019: Tech support bounced servers, and I'm able to connect! Thanks for the quick response, and it all works now. Great app! In the future it would be great to at least pop up a message saying servers or down or something instead of exiting. Thanks! Updated review. One small note: when I go to open up the app it assumes I'm actually in Sydney and therefore says my Google location needs calibration. It probably should just detect I'm not near the zoo and say something like "Can't find you on map" or something.

★★★★☆ Nicholas Rebecca Calfas · Jun 29, 2022

The old version took forever to load, this version seems better. Surprised there is not a way of having a digital friends of the zoo card on the app. The card only uses a barcode that can be scanned at the entry. Would make life so much easier for people who don't have their card and reduce the work at the office for temporary cards.

App error says restart then doesn't work at all

Doesn't work, crashes after loading zoo map

★☆☆☆☆ Isura Morawaka · Dec 30, 2022

"Error, restart the app" Across multiple devices on Android and Apple. I am not angry, just disappointed.
