About this app

Warning: Cute alert! Pocket Penguins, streaming in real-time from the California Academy of Sciences, provides an intimate view into our live African penguin exhibit. Watch the birds swim, dive, flirt, nest and relax from any one of three live webcams. Listen in as Academy biologists answer questions from visitors during meal time, daily at 10:30am and 3:00pm PST.

The Academy's penguins are part of the American Zoo and Aquarium Association's Species Survival Program, aimed at conserving this species in the wild. African penguins (Spheniscus demersus) live off the coast of South Africa and Namibia. In 2010, the International Union for Conservation of Nature classified the species as endangered, or at very high risk of extinction in the wild.

I installed the app one month ago, and it's not working since then. It gives network error and asked to see a pre-recorded video. I really love penguins, and I would enjoy seeing them. Please fix the network or drop the app. 😞😞🐧🐧🐧😞🐧

This honestly really cute! I love it. You can watch the penguins swim,eat or just lay around. I love this app soo much it doesn't attack you with ads or ask you to review or what not. You simply just. Pick 1 of 3 cameras to watch from and then watch. Yiu can also donate to.o I ADVISE THAT YOU TURN ON YOUR WI-FI SO ITS NOT CONTINUOUSLY LOADINGπŸ§πŸ’š

Wellllll!πŸ˜† Must be a great app IF you are in the right time zone but right now when it is 08:50 in England, the penguins are enjoying cattching zeds in California as it is nightime the cameras are blank and nothing is happening, of course! I dont think I will be waking up at 2am GMT to see penguins waddling about. Uninstalling πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
