Not good

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

Not getting what I paid for.

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.

Response from developer

Thank you, dear friend, for your comment and for trusting us by choosing 3D Dinopedia. We’re very sorry that some of the new models are not yet available and are currently shown as dinosaur eggs. These are creatures whose information is already in the app, while their 3D models are still being completed. At the moment, 3D Dinopedia already includes more than 200 animal models, paleobiomes, and many other features. We understand that seeing locked or unfinished content after purchasing full access can be frustrating, and we will fix this issue. The good news is that we are starting to publish new models this week, with new updates planned every week. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and truly appreciate your patience and support.

It is a very good app!! just a few things.

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 🦈🌀🦕🦖

Broken parts of app

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.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback, and we’re very sorry for the frustration. We understand how disappointing it is when parts of the app do not work properly, especially after paying for full access. We’re aware of issues affecting some maps, including the savanna, as well as duplicate and broken content, and we’re working to fix them. Thank you for reporting this and for your patience.

Are you going to fix this?

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.

Response from developer

Thank you for following up, and sorry about this issue. Yes, some users have already reported it, and we’re working on a fix. We expect to resolve it shortly. Thank you for your patience and for continuing to check in — and we’re very glad you still enjoy the game.
