Better than a fidget spinner

You can even “spin” some of the animals! On the iPhone you can unfortunately activate the notifications dock while swiping down or up, which abruptly returns you to the stress of your life momentarily, but it’s not s dealbreaker - the margin is calibrated wide enough for that to be an occasional fluff. Christof, how about a big/kid quasi-CHOMP version where you can upload images of say, to replace the animal face, and then you get to duke it out with them? 😉

Petting Zoo Review

I think it is a very whimsical and cute program, and I know it took a lot of time and programming, BUT I think it could be a little longer. Being not so very long I do not feel the need to return anytime soon. But I think it was delightful and I would like to spend more time with it. I am an adult and my attention span is perhaps longer YET kids also, once they know it, do they return to it? I would be interested to know. Congratulations on the interactivity. Very sweet. Great designs. Very intuitive. Bravo! Maryl Simpson

So much fun

I bought this for my grand daughter when she was around two and a half. It’s two years later and we still play it whenever I visit, and even still find surprises! Fantastic interactive animations let the kids produce silly actions and each page or creature has its own tricks and surprises. Six stars for staying power!

Petting Zoo

I got this for the kids and had to play through it myself. Some of the responses to various moves had me laughing with surprise. Good one! I have taken my iPad on many international mission trips and the children all love this game. It takes no teaching, once they learn the power of touching the screen, they are captivated. Language is not a factor in this game.

Captivating

I just purchased this for my two year old granddaughter who has just come for a two week visit. So far she has been intrigued by the interactive books I have from saved over the years from the other GK. I was captivated by this one!! She is going to think this one is so much fun! Can't wait!

Loved for years

I downloaded this app when I first read about it. I am an Early childhood Educator with 30 years in Early childhood education. My grandchildren love this app. They remember it from when they were toddlers and today they are 11 years old. My newest grandchild is 2/1/2 years old and can find it on my iPad and will play and laugh the whole time he sees and hears it play. This has been an absolute delight to see and work this app. Thank you so much for your age appropriate, delightful ,interaction app. Please keep on improving so my next grandchild will experience this with their cousins. Thank you, MaryLynne Cloar

So creative

My grandchildren absolutely love this app! I also must admit I like it too! My 8 yr old grandson loved it as a tiny boy, and I just downloaded it again for my 2 yr old grandson. Now the 8 yr old wants to play it again. This is so much better than most of the animal apps that are new. This is just SO clever! Thank you!

Charming

CN must be one of the happiest people on the planet. Everything he creates has so much heart, sincerity and engagement. The Grands screen time is very limited, the look on the face of the 5 year old was total adoration and wonder. I have shared his work with her from books and news, so bringing it to life was especially satisfying.

Fun and interactive app!

I play with and preview all apps I will play with my 4 old grandson and this may take a bit for him to find all the fun things each page has in store but I know this will definitely be a fun app to explore together!

A favorite with my five year old

My daughter has loved this simple, imaginative, silly app since she was three. I reinstalled it just recently, and, at six now, she was overjoyed it came back." She says: "this is the best game in the whole entire world of history. That's it."

I remember this

I just saw this game and it's like a fever dream I forgot I even had- this game was a part of my childhood and it was very entertaining. It's strange but interesting and I had a lot of fun playing as a kid. Thanks for making this I had some nice times

Entertaining

My 8 and 6 year old have gone through this app so many times and we love it just as much every time and it helps them use their imagination!!

6 years ago, MamerM

Imaginative and fun

This app reminds me of the cartoon stuff the Beatles did. One beautiful and simple thing interacting with another and transforming into something completely different. Your imagination is the driver... we need more of this acceptance and encouragement for our children and ourselves!

Wonderful game for anyone at ANY age.

Such a lovely “game”. I would love to see an updated version with new fun! Was introduced to it at a small expo in Mexico City and it entertained both my kids for years!

Boring

Bought this app for my 3 year old. It was boring . I never buy apps but read this one was good! Do not waste your Money!! Boring, but the animals are cute but all you do is move your finger and they stretch back and forth . What's so fun about that. I paid for it and will probably never play it again. My 3 year old played with it for 1 minute and wanted to go paint her fingernails instead!!

Enjoyable app for all ages

I bought the app for my 9 month old son and he likes it ok. I think it is a cute app an older child will like it more. Visually and audible it is one of the best apps on my phone. It is very well done.

quiet fantasy

My granddaughter and I like this program. We dance to the music. We laugh at the animals. And then we do it over. I am sorry for the one star people who are too old to love creativity.

What fun - the Petting zoo!

As an artist and illustrator I give this clever an entertaining app 5 stars. Not only does Christoph Niemann 'get' kids he also understands humor for adults. My studio assistant bought me his latest book "Abstract Sunday" for Christmas- what a treat! Thank you Mr. Niemann. Barbara N.

A place to warm your freezing spirit

This is so smart, so funny, so inventive, so sweet, so wise, so multi-leveled with ideas, so full of discoveries, so playful - it gives me a break each time I need one.

Always loved this with my kids and I love it too.

I downloaded this app probably 8 years ago and still enjoy it. Mesmerizing and so creatively calming.

Joyful

Exploring this app with my 6-year-old son was such a delight. His giggles were infectious and at one point he was laughing so hard I was sure he'd give himself hiccups. Well done!

I was in heaven

It is one of the best games I’ve ever played. I am seven years old and I’ve played this since I was four. My name is Kailey. I hope you make more apps!

Awesome app!🤩

Great app , I love it! My favorite part is the part with the giraffe. It looks like the giraffe is licking the screen! It is so cool. This app has so many animals. That is what I think of this app.

It’s so fun

It took me a minute to get the hang of it, but I love this game. I’m kind of disappointed it doesn’t have lip-synch like in the trailer.

Fantastic for pre-schoolers

My 3-year old loves petting zoo, and so do I. It is full of whimsy, visual wit and surprises. The music is gentle and infectious. One of the best apps for children that I have found.

First art for a baby

Get this beautiful piece of art for your baby. It is timeless and will be a precious keepsake to her when she grows up and meets Christoph Niemann’s other work.

Fun for all ages

I've had this app for years and it still continues to be silly and fun for me and my children.

Great animations!

I still don’t get bored of this game. The animations that pair with the different finger movements never gets old.

5 years ago, mirabal78

Love it

Super fun the illustrations and the interactions vs transitions. From simple to complex concepts, mixed with sounds. Your kids (and some parents too) will experiment the curiosity across the side of illustration.

I like it a little

I am 6 years old, and I have played this app a few times. I like that the animals can do stuff. But it’s gets boring after a while.
