## What is 3D Dinopedia?

Welcome to the world of dinosaurs! 3D Dinopedia is the largest and most comprehensive dinosaur encyclopedia in the AppStore. Here you will 200+ dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals from three whole eras: the Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic. You will meet the legendary T-Rex, velociraptor, mammoth, and megalodon. Here you can also find exceptionally rare animals such as Anchiornis, devil frog, or the incredible Entelognathus fish. Even the human ancestor Australopithecus has found its place in the encyclopedia. And this is just the beginning - we are constantly adding new models of animals and plants and expanding our collection.

Each animal in 3D Dinopedia has four study modes: skeleton, muscles, skin, and X-ray. You can rotate the skeleton 360 degrees and zoom in as close as you want. With the app, you can assess the power of a Tyrannosaurus's muscles and find fat pads under a Brachiosaurus's heel. Enjoy every scale of your favorite dinosaur in 4K resolution and learn the most interesting facts about their appearance. Use X-rays to investigate dinosaurs in detail.

In 3D Dinopedia, you will find a sea of useful and interesting facts about each animal. Information can be read in a text format with stunning bright illustrations, or you can listen to the narration of a professional announcer. Our team of professionals is working hard to create our encyclopedia to ensure maximum scientific accuracy of the data. Dinosaur models are made in 4K resolution by the best 3D artists, and every word in the text is checked by a real paleontologist.

The app also offers absolutely unique features, such as viewing the world through the eyes of a dinosaur and listening to the "voice" of an ancient animal.

3D Dinopedia also features 3D models of fossil plants, invertebrates, and fossils! Enjoy augmented reality that allows you to take cool photos with ancient lizards anywhere.

3D Dinopedia is more than just a set of beautiful models of ancient creatures. It's a full-fledged encyclopedia capable of creating a comprehensive understanding of the development of planet Earth and life on it. Here you can find the most detailed information about 12 geological periods. You can look forward to a history of research, key events, detailed descriptions of fauna and flora, detailed descriptions of all biomes and continents, and even 3D Earth with the ability to view the movement of lithospheric plates and more!

Also in the app, you can understand the family tree of vertebrate animals, read articles about the latest scientific discoveries of paleontologists, and learn the biography of the most famous scientists - researchers of the ancient world.

Moreover, 3D Dinopedia is a real tool for learning and research. It is suitable for dinosaur lovers as well as for professional artists and designers, and for anyone interested in science.

3D Dinopedia is not just an app, it's an entire ancient world, dynamically and constantly expanding its borders. A whole team of developers, programmers, modelers, and scientists work daily for you to supplement and improve the interactive encyclopedia.

### 1/5 — Not good

*2026-08-21, version 5.0.5*

Honestly this is not very good becuase you have to pay for an extension pack and yea the quality that is shown is not very good and I feel like all of it should be free

### 3/5 — Not getting what I paid for.

*2026-08-07, version 5.0.5*

I paid for full access to content and see a bunch of  blank silhouettes of dinosaurs. When I tap on them all I see is an image of dinosaur egg. And my content is supposed to be fully downloaded.

### 5/5 — It is a very good app!! just a few things.

*2026-07-22, version 5.0.5*

This is a very good app but in an earlier version the models looked more realistic. Like the bothriolepis has seperate plate kind of armor but in the earlier version the gaps between the armor where more deep. Also in the new update all animals look more yellowish or more cartoonish. Also in the Jurassic seas 3d biomes when we press the button and the man talks he says something about Leedsichthys but there is no leesichthys in the app so can you add the leedsichthys? Also here is a list of animals I want you to add:

Eurhinosaurus
Hatzegopteryx 
Himalayasaurus
Guizhouichthyosaurus
Gaunlingsaurus
Guidraco 
Shastasaurus 
Kronosaurus
Koolasuchus
Excalibosaurus
Temnodontosaurus 
Ornithocheirus
Jaekelopterus 
Elasmosaurus 
Cameroceras

Also please make the Helicoprion’s mouth be fully open so everyone can see its spiral jaw 🦈🌀🦕🦖

### 3/5 — Broken parts of app

*2026-07-21, version 5.0.5*

It’s really frustrating that parts of the app are broken and we pay for full access. Maps like savanna are broken and stay frozen. There are duplicates and some are broken as well. I hope they fix this. Not worth the crying kids when the app doesn’t work after paying for it.

### 4/5 — Are you going to fix this?

*2026-07-20, version 5.0.5*

I would rate it five stars if you would fix this, because what happened to the models of the new dinosaurs, there al just empty. I keep checking the came to see if you would update it but not fixed, but it is a great game.

### 2/5 — You have to pay for everything

*2026-07-10, version 5.0.5*

To just click a button you have to pay bro just to do anything have to pay you just can’t play the game but I feel if you didn’t have to pay for everything it would be good

### 3/5 — Ideas

*2026-06-26, version 5.0.3*

Like trex hunting triceratops or edmontosaur of great high def video with audio description and paleo questions to be answered by experts

### 5/5 — Kayden Riehm

*2026-06-11, version 5.0.1*

Kayden Riehm

### 5/5 — Loved it but there’s a problem

*2026-06-10, version 5.0.1*

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

### 5/5 — AWESOME,BUT ERRORS!?

*2026-06-01*

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

**Developer response:** 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.
