### 1/5 — Question

*2020-04-07*

Is their just 5 dinosaurs for a fiver?

### 1/5 — Just Say No

*2019-03-08*

I don’t know if you need to have this game for some time or something because I’ve had it for about a week now and the only dinosaurs I’ve dug up are the stegosaurus T-Rex Pterodactyl Brachiosaurus and the Triceratops. add more dinosaurs because all you do is tap and tap and tap. You can learn more facts under a minute in Wikipedia rather than this game under 10.

**Developer response:** Hi Marcel,

Thank you for your thoughtful review. I have recently added more information and full-scale skeletons to experience the sheer size of these old animals.

There is also more content coming in future updates!

I hope you give the app another visit and enjoy the experience. Please let me know if you have any further thoughts.

Take care!

### 2/5 — Crashes and doesn’t work properly

*2020-07-28*

What a shame it doesn’t work properly. It’s a nice idea but really difficult to use. I’d like my money back!

**Developer response:** Hi,

I’m terribly sorry to hear that it is not working out for you. You can request a full refund through Apple. if you’d like you can provide extra information at support@uprootedsoftware.com and I will look into the issues you are experiencing

### 4/5 — Great fun for a four year old but needs camera

*2020-04-20*

This an excellent app, my son loves it and we go hunting through the forest looking for bones. 

However once you’ve found the bones there’s no way to take a photo of your child next to the assembled skeleton he just found. All you can do is take a screen shot which leaves the buttons on the screen

With the ability to take AR pictures of the dinosaurs discovered added to his App I would give this 5 stars. 

Thanks.

### 4/5 — Aaaaaaaaaa

*2020-04-07*

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

### 4/5 — Like the game but,

*2020-03-14*

I love this game a lot but after you dig up one part, you have to go to the menu and click that same dinosaur again and do everything all over and all that it saves is the Dino pieces that you found. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don’t make me waste five dollars!!

Take your time. I’ll play but PLEASE make a update.

**Developer response:** Hi, thank you for your review.

I would love to understand your thoughts better. Please contact me at hello@uprootedsoftware.com if you want to expand on your thoughts!

### 4/5 — Need a bigger shovel!

*2019-01-31*

Takes too long to dig up.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2022-07-20*

They have 5 dinosaurs but great game we need more of them!

### 5/5 — SUPER DOPE

*2020-10-14*

I am a grown adult but can I just say how awe-striking and brilliant it is to be able to dig up dinosaurs in your living room and see the full skeleton assembled in your home, walk around it, get up close to it, and all that? Highly recommend, plus I love the nice touch with giving you facts about dinosaurs. Well worth $7. This is a fantastic and fun resource for children and adults alike.

### 5/5 — Great App but..how do I reset it?

*2020-04-11*

Love this App. Keeps my grandson amused. How can I reset it to start the hunt again?

**Developer response:** I am very happy to hear that you are getting so much joy from the app!

There is currently no official way to reset it, but I will make sure to add a button in the next update. In the mean time you could uninstall the app and re-download it if you are desperate for a reset.

Happy digging!

### 5/5 — My 5 and 3 year old love it

*2020-04-06*

I wish we could have an indoor mode, with a slightly smaller scale 
Because it’s really hard for little ones to visualise the dinos in small spaces 

Outside it’s amazing tho

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review, it’s so uplifting to hear your kids are having fun with it!
When in ‘View’ mode there is a button to change the scale of the dinosaur. I will aim to make it more clear in a future update, thanks to your helpful feedback.

### 5/5 — Awesome
