Please fix this game so it can work on modern devices, 11 years with no capability updates is crazy
Can’t play the game because the developer needs to update this game in order for it to work on the new ipad iOS version.
You need to have neighbors... if not you need a lots of gems that cost real money
The animals were very hard to buy without gems, and the amount of coins that you needed to make your Zoo bigger was insane
