  • Fantastic way of exploring evolutionary relationships

    I'm an Environmental Studies undergraduate student looking to go into ecology and evolutionary biology for graduate school. This app is a wonderfully informative and fun way to explore evolutionary relationships and timelines, as well as an incredibly potent visual representation of the diversity of biota. I highly reccomend this app as a way to expand your knowleddge of taxonomy and evolutionary biology for biologists... And I also reccomend it for non-biologists to get a sense of the scale of life on our planet. Hats off to the creators!

  • You guys are scary detailed. Kudos

    Thanks for all you do in keeping us updated on the Animalia family tree.
    The only annoying thing is that too many extinct species don’t show nothing on Wikipedia or Google. Gah lol 😅
  • Trouble

    This app is in trouble. I do a search for Animalia, and it turns up nothing zip nada. What’s up with that?

    I was actually looking for a Taxonomy app, not a phylogeny app. I changed my rating to five and deleted the app.

    Developer Response

    Hi Bill. This is because the official term we have for animals is "METAZOA". Animalia is just one of its synonyms. I should be able to fix this by enabling the search feature to find synonyms as well. I apologize for the issue
  • Good app

    I like this ap. I am on n IPad and it shows everything fine
  • Update

    Still waiting for the update !!
  • Not ready for prime time

    This would be better on a much larger display. The design really doesn’t work for small displays.
    It’s too slow an navigation is very awkward.
  • Wow

    What an app. This is the best phylogeny app I could find ANYEHERE. Get it for sure.
  • Fascinating data, terrible app

    This app is not fit for the App Store. It should be removed. It is unusable due to design and performance issues. It's very slow to draw the tree or zoom and pan. The layout makes it impossible to navigate. The search stops working after a few searches and doesn't take you to the search results, making you hunt around for a green arrow in millions of possibilities.

    It's a wonderful dataset, if a little too academic, but the app is terrible. Do not waste your money.
