Beautiful experience!. The WWF Free Rivers augmented reality experience is really cool. The interactive is beautifully designed and I’m all for the educational aspects. However, this is resource intensive and did cause my iPhone 6s to heat up so I got worried about my battery. Otherwise very cool.

Turn it into a game. Where people need to create a sustainable environment, and it’ll be a perfect one.

Awesome graphics!. How can this get bad reviews? It’s free! If I can get it to work (relatively well) on my big iPad Pro 12.9” with attached keyboard, what is the problem? Have trouble finding the icons, but not that interested in the story/audio anyway. I absolutely love the beautiful graphics and nature sounds! Moving my iPad around over the table allows me to see the rivers and landscape—fun! Amazing technology!

Great Idea Good execution. I think this app is a beautiful demonstration of the negative effects that growing civilizations can have on natural processes. I enjoyed the fact I had to get out of my chair and actually go close with the camera to see the whole environment and interactive with all the people/animals. There was slight lag when you would get up close to the river but it was slight and nothing to complain about or leave a bad review. Overall the experience was great and I’m glad I got to interact with the storytelling.

Doesn’t work. When I got this game I thought it would be amazing but I could not get past the opening so I opened up a video of it and his worked but not mine if it worked it would be awesome

Maybe use PAID devs?. Great concept for education. LOUSY implementation. Maybe actually pay your developers instead of using hippy tree huggers. AR is all wonky. Cant actually tap anything to “find more”

Some reviewers clearly don’t get it. Q: Why not make this an app that allows you to manipulate the screen with just your fingers alone? A: Because then it wouldn’t have augmented reality. Q: Why not make it so it doesn’t have to access your camera? A: Because then it wouldn’t have augmented reality. The biggest selling point of this app is that it allows you to try out AUGMENTED REALITY. If not for that feature, most people (including myself) would never have downloaded it. This is the first AR app I’ve ever used, and the chance to try out AR on my device is the reason I (and many others, no doubt) downloaded it. In the process, I learned a few things about dams and their impact on the environment. For the WWF, that’s a win. No, this is not an app you’re going to use for months and years. You’re going to explore it, maybe show it to some family and friends that haven’t seen AR before and then delete it when the newness if it all wears off. It’s sort of a proof-of-concept demo for AR that takes advantage of the relative newness of the technology to get a message across to people. Maybe in a year or so AR will be old hat for everyone and that window of opportunity will have closed for the WWF.

It won't work. I really want to learn but I can't pls tell how to make it works pls I have a big test coming up about lakes

I can not get in the app. Please fix this app and this app will show a text I forget it but I can’t get in it

Great concept but there’s a lot to do. First of all I’d like to make it clear to those who are complaining that this app is still one month old, means coming across bugs is expected. The idea is very good but the storytelling is very short. The major thing that needs to be fixed is camera stability; you can see that for yourselves, the map keeps moving even with the camera is sit still. Creatures are objects, nothing is moving except for a few animals but moving in the same place, that could be changed and would give a huge push towards the interactive environment. Also a cave system would be a nice addition since we can look under the ground, so maybe add some fossils or anything that could be found under the surface. And I guess everything could be enlarged a little bit, font included. There’s a lot more but it’s gonna be a hard job so I’ll wait for the next update to leave another review. Thank you for wanting to share awareness in an enjoyable way.

Please read. Whenever I try to get into the app I only get as far as the white background with words. And it freezes and kicks me out.

Some powerful information. This app is intended to spread awareness of the global environment impact of our relationship with rivers. I think it does that pretty well. The AR aspects of it are quite well done as well. No complaints.

Nothing happens. Open the app, follow the instructions and nothing shows up in the camera other than what I am looking at....my table.

Advice. Your gaming community will boom if you make it possible to create Ai life that can course it’s on history and different types of civilizations and also be able to destroy our creation

Can not do anything. So when I tried too open it it started too but then it just went black and I ended up on the home screen on my phone just deleted it

No buttons on iPhone x to activate this app. I have requested push to the button to activate but no button on iPhone x.

Love it!!. Ok, so there may be a few bugs here and there, but this app is still gorgeous as it is! I love the augmented reality choice for this app! Anyways, creators, I hope that even though there may be a few bugs, you can take them into consideration, and fix them. Other than that, this app totally deserves 5 stars! Way to go! Thank you.

Why the bad reviews?. Of course you need the camera permission to use it its an AR app😂 works well on my iphone 7 and it super interesting to see

Horrible. App locked up my iPhone X and couldn’t access anything till I was able to look up on another device how to reset other then holding power and volume button

Why AR?. This is a perfect example of why I don’t like most AR apps. It’s just used as a gimmick. This app would be far better if you could just use it like a normal app without the camera, able to pan, pinch and zoom like other touch apps. At least give us a choice. I like the concept of the app itself, but hate having to wave my iPad around our small living room to play.

Pointless execution of augmented reality. Augmented reality is a cool new thing, true. But if your going to add it to an app you should actually augment reality. This app pointlessly uses augmented reality as a control that could easily been done, and a lot better with traditional controls - pan, pinch and zoom. The static map that is a one and done, doesn’t take any input from reality to generate - same map regardless of the surface or environment. The single map is glitchy at best, jumping all over the place as you move your device. The app also misrepresented itself as allowing you to adjust the landscape. The app guides you through a fixed story, allowing you to click “change the landscape” but should be viewed as a click to view next segment of the story, because there are no options, just a single choice at each point in the story.

Nothing. There’s literally nothing to do here

IPad. Does not work on my iPad,! Works on iPhone iPad bigger and better for a program like this one. Please fix!!

Crashes on opening page. What a disappointment. Got first page then goes to black and then back to home page.

Cause heating to iPhone X. I’m not sure why, but my iPhone X will start to overheat when using this app. It’s a cool concept, but it has its bugs.

The table moves around too much. I love the idea of this, but once the table is placed it moves with your camera instead of the camera moving around it

Why does it crash on opening. It crashes on opening.

.. All it does is shuts down after the first display where it talks about how free flowing riviera are becoming rare.

Augmented something, but not reality. If augmented reality is just placing an object into space so you can see what’s behind it, this app does it very well. Sit on your couch and listen to the narrator and tap on the predefined interaction zones and it’s almost like you’re really in your grandma’s living room while she reads the encyclopedia entry on ecology to you and holds the book up so you can see the pictures. Seriously though, if the “table” lands where you didn’t intend you are forced to sit through the narrative before the menu that allows you to reposition it is enabled. And even after you reposition it it only stays where it is if you don’t move around at all. It doesn’t seem to anchor itself to anything in reality. But as long as you don’t do it in a room with walls you will eventually be able to walk all the way around it.

The idea is good but needs more work. The idea is amazing but needs more improvement and optimization the whole experience is not smooth and the font is too small i can’t read it easily

This is not wrestling. To all of you who thought this was wrestling u r dumb af, but this is a good representation of how we affect our environment

Good concept. BUT HOW DO I GET PAST THE FIRST PART WITH THE FLAT SURFACE

Good but... Really good could use some more work and gets your phone pretty hot im guessing it really stresses the processors, ram and gpu in the phone so be careful if your using it outside on a hot day could make your phone over heat. Again though it is really nice

Font too small. I like the idea. The AR concept is neat. But the font is too small. I couldn’t complete the experience due to the font size in the information bubbles.

Stupid. Ur app is stupid and don’t work was a waste of space on my phone this app should be deleted 😡😡😡

It worked once.... Then when I changed rooms, all I saw was my room with no AI stuff. Cool concept but has bugs.

Black and White Panda. “Wind turbines are good, dams are bad (except those built by pandas). ” The sustainability Story deserves to be told with much more care. The app itself is a mediocre ripoff of Toca Boca’s beautiful “Shape the Nature” app.

The app is awesome. My kid, he like the app very much, he like the elephant and love the farmer, but i have a little suggestion that adding some more action to the creature, like lion, farmer, bird, or village had people walking around, fish can swim up and down, etc. anyway this is the app that people should try.

Why. Ok I hate the way you need the camera every.time I find a good app you always need a account.or the camera or face book log in.or google Twitter I absolutely hate that. Please make it to where you don’t need the camera. Or at least chose if you want to have the camera or not. I am a game tester so if I were you I would take my suggestions. I give this a very bad review customers do not get this game

This is not worth your time.. Simply poor app design, really lazy.

AR is pointless. There’s no point for augmented reality. It is cool for about 3 seconds, but it’s really just waisting development resources when you could focus on building incredible models. The result is you end up focusing on the gimmick which then detracts from the supposed point of it all.

Please make a version without camera. I couldn’t get the camera to work and the app was intended for my toddler. If I find it difficult to use she would stand no chance. This looks like a lovely app if only it didn’t require a camera. Please make a simplified version for children that is easier to use.

Won’t work. When I open the app, it says, “Point camera towards ground in well lit area” (or something like that), and I do, then it says, “The area has to be well lit”, but it is! Even if I take it outside, it does the same thing! Please, please, please, update this because I can tell it’s an amazing app, but I can’t use it!

Needs camera?. Don’t see the point of the camera and table being needed. Remove these features so the app can be more mobile. No real need for it and can tell the same story without it. You guys have some wacky coding if you need the table and camera for the ar aspect.

I can’t get in 😾👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽😡😡🙎🏽‍♀️🙎🏽‍♀️. Ugh. I have had this app for a year now but I haven’t even started to use it. I can’t open the app on my iPad. When I try, it just kicks me out before I can even try it. I can’t get past the opening. I saw everything and I thought it would be fun, but it’s not IF YOU CANT GET PAST THE OPENING!!!! 😾😡

Skyrim?. Im pretty sure this app uses the Skyrim music and i kinds support

5 STARS! Something’s wrong with the 1-star reviews. AR is not a gimmick, and it’s exactly what you’d expect it to be. I wouldn’t exactly call this educational app a toddler’s toy, and AR does require the use of a camera. This developer accomplished something incredible, and people are here complaining that they don’t like AR, complaining that their cat can’t play it? Give me a break. Great job, dev! Also, complaining when something free is provided? An excellent contribution to the community.

Not working. Won't work. Please fix this.

Keeps glitching. I can’t get into this app as when it loads it glitches out. Please fix.

Bug crashes prevent gameplay. I really wanted to play this game, however it crashes at the loading screen. It looks amazing though so please fix this bug

Glitchy. The app glitches when you open it. Please fix this as it looks like an amazing app!

Bugs. Yo guys this has the worst glitch ever there is always a plus on my screen which I can't get past

Great Concept, lack of content.. I love the graphics and 3D landscape, but was disappointed when I realised it was really just a political agenda which was being presented exceptionally well. I congratulate the developers for making an infomercial so interactive and enjoyable, I just wish the same tech/platform could be used for an actual game with content and purpose.

Glitching!!. Just downloaded out of curiosity... and can’t get passed the second frame without the app closing out.... disappointing. Update to fix this please!!

Dear whoever you are. I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT WAS EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Me before:😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭! Me now 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣!

Great!. This app is a great way to teach the young ( and not so young) about the impact of different choices in river management. We only have one planet and climate change is not a myth, so the more people who grow up with an awareness that our planet needs our help, the better. Too many people with half an education seem to think we can just keep on our merry way and the planet will cope. This app allows users to check for the knock on effects of various decisions in a visually appealing, entertaining way.

Really Cool App. I really like the concept of this app, obviously the object mapping is pretty shaky, but of course because its new. This is a great step towards holograms.

Honestly. It’s terrible but I’ll be nicish

Doesn’t work. All I get is a blurred screen. And yes, I am in a well lit environment with a flat surface.

Useless. I tried to “look for a well-lit flat surface”. When I did, I tried scanning it, but, like another person said, a sketchy cross came out of the attempt. May someone from WWF inform me and the other person what is happening?

Crash!. Crashes on load everytime!

Wow. I dream to be able to do something similar at work. Wonderful!

Doesn’t work.. This just crashes before it fully loads everytime.

Great game. Just wish there were more landscapes.

Crashes. Does not start up on iPhone 6.

Can’t enter app. For some reason, when you first enter the app, then press the arrow, a sketchy cross comes onto the screen. I have a iPad mini. I wonder is it because it is not compatible with my device?

Works Perfectly!. Working on iPhone 13 with latest release. No issues. AR is really interesting.

0 stars. The game not opening when we opening the game they juste was black

It crashes. Everyone I open it it crashes and I really wasn’t to try it I really wish this actually worked

Boring and informative. Would not classify this a game

Wish there were more functionality. The app looks good I just wish I was able to build and destroy dams in order to see how it affects things on my own at this point it feels like it would have been a better 5 min video then a game.

Ridiculous. Needs access to your camera the has you move all over looking for well lite flat surfaces, didn’t get past that after 5 minutes walking around to find a “well lit flat surface” wwf really pooped their pants on this one☹️
