Ratings and reviews

Absolutely loved the GPS feature of this app to find the animals we wanted to see. The option to avoid uneven terrain (forgot what its called) was super helpful to follow flatter paths and avoid some of the steep hills/stairs. The only thing I wish the app had was a way to recommend the best route when you add animals to a Plan. We ended up doubling back a few times becuse we didn't realize some animals were close to each other on the map.

Tracks GPS location within the Zoo well, and you can find features as well as animals, which makes it helpful for finding the closest bathroom. Biggest issue is you should not trust the path routing to destinations. There's some paths that bridge over other paths that the app incorrectly says you can turn from one to the other. And there's an elevator that the routing doesn't indicate "at this point take the elevator to level 2".

The plan feature is a good idea - but you can't add restaurants or anything else except animals. You can't see the restrooms on the map. To find a restroom, you search, get a lists with how far away they are, BUT you have no idea which direction they are in. If there are a few 5 min away, you can't tell which is in the direction you are headed. Had to download a picture of an old map. Big elevation change at zoo, can't tell not all paths intersect (some are bridges over others).
