Not great

Worked well giving me info before my days excursion to the zoo but now it doesn't even give info on times the zoo is open or current exhibitions or events going on at the zoo! Should definitely put some money back into the app

Useless

The app doesn't update the schedule each day and it needs an interactive map! If the activity schedule updated daily, it would be really cool if you could get an alert whenever there is an activity going on that you want to see like the giraffe feeding! I wanted to plan out my visit completely on the app but I had to revert back to printing out the schedule and map to plan the day. Very disappointing.

Not worth it free download

This app doesn't help you at all with your visit. Sure you can add a few scheduled things to your calendar, but it would be better if you could make and agenda ON the app. Also , the map is just a PDF file. Here's a tip why not make it like a GPS type, so you can see where you are? This place is huge! Don't care about webcams (leave that for your actual website) and don't care about what animals you have. I pretty much already know... it IS a zoo. And your spot light in the giraffe feeding..I guess. 🤷‍♀️

Please update app!!!!

This app used to be fantastic with an interactive map and everything. It appears to have been long forgotten as it is not updated and doesn't work well with current operating systems. Please fix it!

Does its work well

This app is great gives you the maps in the app of the zoo and gives you the hours the zoo is open and the wether. It gives you access to live webcams around the zoo to see the animals, it also gives schedules for went ever zoo keepers have talks or just small tours. Overall the app is great and work fine.

Educational!

I love the Houston Zoo and visit frequently with my 5th and 6th grade students. They especially love the animal cards and webcam feature in this new app. The app is educational, informative and easy to use.
Accounts Framework
The Accounts framework provides access to user accounts stored in the Accounts database. An account stores the login credentials of a particular service, such as Twitter, that can be used as authentication for the service. By implementing the Accounts framework into your app, you do not need to be responsible for storing account logins yourself. Instead, the user can grant access for your app to use their account login credentials, bypassing the need to type their username and password. If no account for a particular service exists in the user’s Accounts database, you can let them create and save an account from within your app.

In addition, Amazon Cognito enables you to save data locally on users devices, allowing your applications to work even when the devices are offline. You can then synchronize data across users devices so that their app experience remains consistent regardless of the device they use. With Amazon Cognito, you can focus on creating great app experiences instead of worrying about building, securing, and scaling a solution to handle user management, authentication, and sync across devices.
