Loved it but there’s a problem

Is there a way to get the premium content for free?

Response from developer

Thank you so much for the 5-star review! We’re really happy you loved 3D Dinopedia. Premium content helps support the work of our 3D artists, developers, and scientific experts, so it is usually part of the paid access. However, we regularly add and improve free content too, and we’ll keep looking for ways to make the app accessible to more users. Thank you for supporting 3D Dinopedia!

AWESOME,BUT ERRORS!?

This is the best Dino game I’ve seen and especially with the vision thing with the creatures I really awesome, my favorite is the mosasaurus,but my internet is fine and some of my other favorites are just errors , but the best game I’ve seen so far

Response from developer

Thank you so much for your kind words, and sorry about the errors. Some users have already reported this issue, and we’ll fix the problem shortly. Thank you for letting us know.

Not good, very inaccurate and has a lot of false information

The main problem with this app is it’s inaccuracy and false information, many animals are very inaccurate and outdated depictions such as shrink wrapping, outdated depictions and for dinosaurs broken wrists. And the worst of it is that they claim that their depiction of these animals are up-to-date and accurate when that’s clear false. Another major negative is the use of AI. What they should do is contact artists and modelers who will make better and more accurate models for these animals. I’m a Paleo enthusiast, I can actually help with the dinosaurs and pterosaurs.
I’ll do it for free too.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. 3D Dinopedia currently includes more than 300 animal models, so it is difficult for us to review this issue without knowing which specific animals or reconstructions you are referring to. Paleontology is a fast-moving field, and reconstructions can involve different scientific interpretations. We regularly review our models, poses, anatomy, textures, and educational content as new information becomes available. If you noticed specific inaccuracies, outdated features, shrink-wrapping, wrist positioning issues, or incorrect descriptions, please contact us at dinopedia@tecedu.org with the names of the animals and, if possible, references or examples. This will help us investigate the feedback properly and prioritise future improvements.

Good

This is good and way better it teach about not only dinosaurs but other animals that went extinct

Response from developer

Thank you! We’re glad you enjoyed it. We know dinosaurs are often the most popular topic, but we also want to help people explore the full diversity of life that has existed on Earth, including many other amazing extinct animals.

Add spinosaurus mirabilis

It would be amazing if it would be added

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback! Yes — all 3D models in the app are created by our own team of 3D artists together with professional paleontologists, so every creature is researched and crafted by us. Regarding recently extinct animals, our project is mainly focused on much older prehistoric periods, but we appreciate your interest and will keep your suggestion in mind as we continue developing the app. Thank you for supporting us!
