  • Awesome work!!!!

    I tried some of the queries people stated had issues but they worked for me. For example you can look up when a tiger and lion split off in history. This is all around a fun app to play with.
    Great work!!!
  • Amazing!

    I am an anthropologist and this app is so interesting and useful. A little user unfriendly until you know it better but an amazing app for being free. Evolution enthusiasts should get this app!!!
  • Great reference

    Very easy to use. Accurate as far as I checked. I wonder if they update as more work gets published all the time and if so how often?
    Great work guys! Thank you!
  • Timetree

    Not worth downloading
  • Sweeeeewt

    Sweet stuff my dad knows the guy who made it and it's sweet
  • Good first version

    Great idea and a nice start to this app. But it needs a user manual so non-scientists can use it.
  • Good start

    I really love the idea of this app. Unfortunately, it seems to have been made by scientists for scientists. It would be great to see the developers implement some sort of categorical browsing system to make the whole thing more approachable.
  • Malformed result

    No matter what I enter the search comes up with the same error, "malformed result". I wish I could like the app, it's an awesome concept, but its not working at all.
  • Broken service

    I was excited about this app when I heard about it, I love the idea. Sadly, no matter what I try to compare it comes back with a "998: malformed message" (or something like that) error.

    It's a neat idea. Too bad it doesn't work.
  • Authored by an anthropology student or true paleontologist?

    Eg, search for the common ancestor date of a fox and a wolf inevitably gives the error "can not compare a taxa with its parent". Same for tiger and lion, etc. Therefore, it will only answer ridiculously obvious differences in animal and plant species. Nice app concept, but needs much more capability to answer anything but the most elementary query. Appears almost as if it was designed with more of a social (political?) agenda in mind than scientific education.
