Pros and cons of African-Safari Wildlife Guide app for iPhone and iPad

African-Safari Wildlife Guide app good for

African safari is one of the best animal wild animal app. There is valuable information to learn with children.
A very thorough guide, especially since latest updated list of animals! Amazing photos and articles from wikipedia, and offline when I am in the Savannah! I especially liked the photo gallery. It was an invaluable addition to my safari trip. Made it an even more memorable experience of a lifetime.

Some bad moments

Downloaded update....totally dead...nothing selectable. No response from developer after I sent email two days ago. Things happen but when your app is dead in the water...you should reply with help.
Going to Africa in 5 days. Would love to use this but it doesnt work. Worked well before the update
