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".

From what I've heard the APP is useful, but as a person who has a visual impairment, it would be nice if there were a dark contrast version to reduce glare, and larger fonts. This is too bright for me, the glare makes it undecipherable, and the fonts are tiny. Even if it did have a visually impaired setting it is doubful if I could even find it with the microscopic fonts and challlenging contrast scheme. Just a thought for the devs. Dark Backgrounds and a larger font would be wonderful.
