Customer service is ridiculous. I thought I was purchasing a 6 month membership and it WAS NOT. After phone tag and several emails they were not able to refund my money. Even though there has been NO ACTIVITY on the account for years shame on me for not watching BUT SHAME on them for charging me. Even the page states MEMBERSHIP TERM but that is not the TERM that is the BILLING CYCLE. NOT a membership term.
Great game! My daughter loves to interact with her real life friends over the game! The learning ability from this game is amazing! 5 stars as soon as my daughter laid eyes on it!
This is clearly a pay-to-win game. Many of the items are membership, and I am not paying 57 dollars for 12 months of just more items and animals. Also, many of the players are rude.
I love this game: the graphics, the experience, everything! Except it's not as great as I thought. Animal jam became too addictive, and I was getting hacked too often. I often did many things for animal jam, that maybe I shouldn't have. But it wasn't till i really thought about it that I learned it was for the best that I quit. I love almost everything about it, but there are lots of scammers, bullies, and lots of creepy males on animal jam on a daily basis. One other thing I noticed was it wasn't as educational as I had previously thought. If you are still reading this, understand that while it's a cool game, it is overly addictive! Many times people have cried over virtual items and I find this sickening. Also I find it absurd to refuse to return hacked items more than once! My sister once got hacked of a bad item, animal returned it than refused to replace her green long after a password change and another hack! Please never download, and spend time with your kids rather than wasting your life away on this video game!
I started early 2013. I grew addicted to this game, going behind my parents' backs. After growing rarer and rarer, I became more and more addicted. All the items I wanted were coming to me after hours of gameplay. I chose Animal Jam over my homework and school. Grades dropped, parents yelled. I lied to them, claiming to do something else and really just playing the game. After I got a headdress, I grew a horirble attitude. As if I was better than everyone else on the game. I grew addicted to my powers. I grew rarer and rarer, but also meaner. I developed an attitude out of the game too. Before playing when I was younger, I was obedient and modest. I feel deeply ashamed, but I am writing this to warn others. Within my fifth year of playing, I realized I have an addiction. Some nights I stayed up until 3:00 in the morning playing Animal Jam. After years and years, I finally blocked the site on my computer before my grades start to affect my school life any further. Please... don't play this game. You may never leave...
Real play time with real kids building a real fort is a real childhood away from predators. Waste of your childhood. Better to learn something and avoid growing up to be a slave to video games.
I'll just say DON'T PLAY DON'T EVEN LOOK IT UP BECAUSE SOO MUCH BULLIES I GOT SCAMMED BEFORE I LOST MY ONE AND ONLY BEAR SO BEWARE ITS JUST DRAMA OK DRAMA THAT IS WHY I PLAY ROBLOX OK SOMEONE CALLED MY UGLY AND IT JUST CAUSES PEOPLE TO SCAM AND BE MEAN
There were lots of animals but no jam.
I love jam so much and im so sad there is no jam i want to sue
Animal jam may look great and all but the more you play the more addicted you get!
I know that for a fact because I used to be addicted to Animal jam. Luckily I've quit. What I've noticed while playing animal jam is lots of bullying, hacking, scamming and sexual contact! I've been hacked in Animal jam a lot! Animal jam does return my items but what really made me quit was once I was hacked and EVERYTHING was gone I told Animal jam Head Quarters and after some research they said they couldn't return the items! Which made me angry because I just realized that I WASTED ALL MY TIME GETTING ALL THOSE RARE SPIKED COLLARS/WRISTBANDS FOR NOTHING! Well at least now that Animal jam is out of my life. So... in conclusion (this is especially for parents) never EVER let your kids play Animal jam because then you and your kids are danger!
Thanks for reading my report!
After years of playing, my child was hacked by another player. Co did nothing to help, though we begged
Please do not download this game for your kid. It will not do any good and will destroy your kid's life. They WILL get addicted quickly. Animal Jam will not educate your kid either, it will just make your kid a worse person. If you download this game for your kid which I beg you not to, they will have access to talk to anyone on the game. This means pedophiles, bad language involved and scammers all around. My little sister is addicted to Animal Jam and has been for over a year. She plays at least 10-12 hours a day. She does not want to do anything else with her time other than sit down and play the game. In fact, she managed to get my father addicted and now all they do is play Animal Jam all day together. Even when my sister is not around, my father still plays the game. I have to listen to them always talking, yelling and screaming about the game and it's nothing but abnoxious as a teenage boy. It's gone to the point where I cannot even watch TV or do any activities without being annoyed. I don't know what to do to stop them. I have watched them both play Animal Jam and the main goal is to trade items and be better than everyone else. This is a perfect setup for scammers. My sister has cried countless times over the game. Honestly, it seems like both my dad and sister don't even enjoy Animal Jam. Just for bragging rights. I'm so tired of living like this. Animal Jam has destroyed my sister's, father's and is partially destroying my life even though I don't play it! I beg you to not download Animal Jam for your kid or anyone you know. DO NOT DOWNLOAD!
Ok I mean my thought for it is EqUaL like first of all why would they EVER remove the treasure hunt?! And then the prices of animals are WAY to high! I do not want to become a member WITH MY MONEY I mean like you can get a toy like A TOY that will last more than 1 billion years and more than ur member ship! AND THERE ARE SO MANY MEAN, BOSSY WEIRD PEOPLE ALONG WITH SCAMMERS AND HACKERS THERE ARE ALOT OF INNAPROPIATE BEHAVIOUR. BE CAREFUL IF YOU ARE NEW TO THE GAME, thx~

Animal Jam is a very good game. It is fun, and suitable for kids, but I didn't give it 5 stars because of the whole member business. I find it really unfair that non-members don't have the chance to get the stuff that members do, like the Pet Saddle, My Shop or Pet Station. I was member for two weeks when you could be member for free, and now that I'm not my pets are really upset with me! That is why I dislike the shops in Moku'ahi and Leilani's unfair trades. I really like the idea of Daily Spins (it helped me get the new den!) but bring back treasure hunts please because I got a snow leopard and never got a chance to do treasure hunts with it for the sapphires that gem animal ones don't get. And whenever I go into Summer Carnival and go into a game or candyfloss maker, when I come out of it I am not in Summer Carnival any more. Please fix this. Other than this I really like this game. I play when I want something fun and relaxing to do, and I have never met a scammer or hacker (though I know this is a problem with some players who don't know one when they see one). I really like working for the sapphires because it gives you a great feeling of accomplishment when you buy something you really wanted with them. I love this game, thank you so much Wildworks for creating this game! :)
Its a really fun game! If adults are having problems with game and child please continue on reading
1. If your child is getting spamed with hurtfull/unapropriete messages tell them to lock it to no one or buddies only, if its on buddie only and those mesagges are showing, tell them to unbody whover that person is.
2. if they are scammed aor hacked tell them to ask a freind for help, if their freinds wont help tell them that its a virtual game and they shuoldn't worry.
3. inapropriete rp or texts will make bad stuff or child suspended. They shouldn't play aj for 1 day if this happens
4. Memberships keep the game going dont give a hissy fit about this.
Now i'm a child so ignore bad grammer, if your situatoins is not on the list please please please PLEASE just think a way to fix it insted of complain here
Animal Jam Is An Amazing Fun Online Game. I love to play it and I'm not addicted. I am only allowed to play electronics on Weekends and even then I only play for about an out an hour at a time.
Sneaky, very sneaky with the hidden recurring memberships... but i cant knock them too much for that since its a super common sales tactic. I can however complain about the plss poor moderation. "Nasty genials" and "put your junk in me" are allowed through the chat. Which is fine, there are some basic terms you just cant or wouldnt think to ban. My problem is that ajhq REFUSES to IP ban kids who engage in this kind of behavior. They pull the plug on the free play account, the same kid turns around and makes a new one 5 min later. MEANWHILE, theyre just fine with banning PAYING CUSTOMERS who have dumped their money into a 3 6 or 12 month membership and invested ridiculous amounts of time into building up their accounts. Apologetic players who realize their mistake (if they made one at all!) and probably wouldnt make the same mistake again if they had simply been suspended with a warning. Nope. Banned. All your player stats and accrued "rare items", gone. Thats like a landlord evicting someone with no warning for keeping a messy yard. And taking everything in their house in the process. Just pitiful customer service ruins what would be a very unique and fun game.
I think animal jam is awesome because you can make friends and hang out with people and have a gr8t time.
Animal Jam is misunderstood by many parents. As a experienced player i can confirm That Animal Jam is indeed safe for kids in the age of 10-12. It used to have many ways to tell out personal information or talk dirty, but over the years of development it's rarer to see it than see unreleased items. It is still possible but when your kid doesn't try to do it they will most likely not see it either.
Also a big mistake that a lot of parents and kids do is ignoring AJ community. Animal Jam has a big community, that keeps growing every day and it has many youtubers in it. For Example: Aparri is an average Animal Jam youtuber with nearly 300k Subscribers. He is the biggest Animal Jam Youtuber so far. Aparri along with many other Animal Jam youtubers and bloggers have often prevented Players getting scammed or hacked and they give advice on how to play. Not only that, they're videos are entertaining and fun to watch.
People Animal Jam HeadQuarters are trying really hard to make the game better in any way possible and you all should respect their choice!
There is a game called Animal jam play wild.it is a computer game.and there is lots to do like you can add friend and it is an online game. You can make accounts. You can also buy items and collect gems and diamonds. You can also make your own username and password. You also can get rares. There are lots of places you can go like coral canyons, Jamaa township, kembera, aplda, M. T shiveer, temple of zios, crystal sands, sarepia forest, there is also a water land. Here are the names. Kani cove, crystal reef, Deep blue, Bahari bay. You also can give jam a grams to other jammers. If you play you will also have a den. You will be able to decorate the den and they made an new update and there was only 500 items you can have now you can have 1,000
Den spaces. There are also memberships you buy and you become a member.
Answer: You should report the person who scammed you. You should also look up the different types of scams so you can avoid being scammed in the future.
Answer: Members get cool stuff like members only items and animals as a reward for buying a membership. Otherwise, no one would buy a membership, so AJHQ wouldn't have any money and they wouldn't be able to keep running the game. However, there are some cool things for non-members as well; you might just have to look a little harder.
Answer: No because then it would be unfair to non-members.
Answer: Make it not a pay to win game. People are being mean because they think they are better at everything because they have a membership. Scamming is usually also because of memberships.
Answer: If you are a nonmember i would reccomend simply making a new account with the username you prefer and moving your things there.
