This is a companion app for a zoo visit, not entertainment or education on its own. It's safe and well-intentioned, but user reviews consistently point out that the search and navigation features—you know, the core purpose—are frustratingly limited.
The app won't harm anyone, but it also might not help much. Many families report just using the paper map instead, which is probably the move. If you're visiting the San Diego Zoo, download it as a backup, but keep expectations low and your phone charged for photos instead.
The real magic is the zoo itself—this app is just trying (and somewhat failing) to get you there efficiently.
