Also there should be a recording feature too! Also see if you can have multiple dinosaurs in one shot. ### 4/5 — Could be better *2024-12-29* It’s been a long time since this game got a new update and because Dino Dex has now been released there should be some new dinosaurs in this. And I was wondering if you could change the design for Zuul and Nanotyrannus. All the creatures should be free and should have their own dino experiments. ### 3/5 — It’s ok *2024-12-20, version 5.0.1* Why is everyone locked I hate IT! Please fix it! It ### 2/5 — Fun for a bit but *2022-08-02* It is fun for a bit but it gets rly boring soon when I have to pay for more than one dinosaur ### 2/5 — Terrible *2022-07-31* (I agree) first I do not like this game at all you take all of the fun out of the game I played for maybe 20 minutes and then I deleted it fix it please ### 4/5 — FANTASTIC *2021-12-16* It is amazing and when I got it the loading screen looked so cool and I love the app and it looks so real! I totally recommend it! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t let you approve it as parent *2021-10-22* Very frustrating as a parent I continually approve the purchase of packages but it does not come through on my son’s iPad. Very frustrating after trying repeatedly and having a very disappointed 9 year old. This has been his #1 request after earning it all week and such a heartbreaking disappointment for him not to be able to access it. Do not download it. ### 4/5 — Good almost great *2021-08-23* Please remove most of the in app purchases ### 1/5 — Payment charged but dinosaur did not unlocked *2021-08-22* They charged me payment twice but the dinosaur was not unlocked. I feel cheated. ### 2/5 — Fine but *2021-08-13* Why can’t you give me all the Dino’s instead of just one ### 4/5 — Chat *2021-08-12, version 4.7.0* Are you guys on YouTube ### 1/5 — Pppppppppppppppppp *2021-05-28* YOUR THE WORST GAME EVER THIS GAME WON’T INSTALL LET MY INSTALL IT AND I WILL Give you a 5 star ⭐️ rating ### 1/5 — This Game was Horrible *2021-04-09, version 4.6.3* It was horrible, I did something I could not see the button for you to select the Dinosaurs. I deleted it. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Me mad *2025-03-29, version 5.0.1* I bought Dino’s and I never got the Dino’s I bought ### 1/5 — Extremely pay to play *2024-04-19* Dino Dan was my childhood and this app does not do it any justice, you literally can only have one dinosaur unless you pay a dollar or two. I wanna take pictures of tyrannosaurs, sauropods, even ceratopsians but I have to spend money on it all, I would’ve gave this game a 5 star if at least most of the dinosaurs were free. just a huge disappointment ### 1/5 — I hate this game *2024-03-09, version 5.0.1* I bout this game and I loved it until I bought the pack it didn’t iven let me do it I hate it sow much . ### 1/5 — Why do you have to pay for everything *2022-12-18* I was so excited to get this app but when I did I was disappointed we can only get kentrosaurus and I want all the Dino’s to be cheaper or free ### 1/5 — What’s the point on getting it *2022-10-07* There’s no point on getting it if you get 1 Dino It’s bad ### 1/5 — Horrible! *2022-04-11, version 4.9.0* I hate it! I have to pay to just have fun??? Oh wait I just remembered, I am not having fun! DONOT buy the different dinosaurs, it is just the same boring thing everyI donot recommend it… ### 1/5 — Horrible click bait app *2022-03-22* You guys should be ashamed. Click baiting parents into buying 5 dinosaurs at a time instead of just letting kids have them all for one price. $2.99 per batch. One am I going to have to spend!? $30? More!? Horrible. ### 1/5 — Didn’t receive purchased packages *2022-03-03* Paid for Dino packages and yet my son couldn’t use them and the dinosaurs never unlocked.. really disappointed at the fact we couldn’t access what I PAID for ### 1/5 — Stupid! *2022-01-29, version 4.9.0* I only can play as 1 Dino stupid trash I know dinos and this game should have more frikin dinos I love Dinos but this frikin trash needs to be off the frikin App Store!!!!!!! ### 1/5 — Bad *2022-01-01, version 4.9.0* You can only place the kentrosaurus and have to purchase the rest. Dumb. Want to delete but can only remove it from my Home Screen. Ugh. :( ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Need more dinosaurs and a dino Dex update *2026-09-03* I wish this app would get updated to keep all the original species and add new ones like velociraptor megaraptor shuvvuia dreadnoughtus ankylosaurus from Dino Dan website and Parasaurolophus ### 5/5 — So good! *2026-07-10* This app is so amazing even though I have to pay for the packs. When I first downloaded it, I thought it would be a scam because that’s how a lot of three star apps act like. But then it felt like a five star app. I wish it had some better reviews. It’s a very good app. I think I will keep this my whole life. ### 5/5 — More Dino *2025-05-18, version 5.0.1* I wish it had dinosaurs from Dino Dex ### 5/5 — I love this *2022-11-21* Can you add mosasaurus elasmosaurus and basilosaurus ### 5/5 — Dinos woahhhhhoooooooo *2021-08-15, version 4.7.0* :3love game sooooo yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa (sorry it’s short) ### 5/5 — Update part 2 *2021-05-15, version 4.6.5* Amazing dinosaurs Baby Troodon Diabloceratops Ugruunaluk Europasaurus Nanuqsaurus Compsognathus Baby dinos Baby Brachiosaurus Baby Spinosaurus Baby T. rex Baby Edmontosaurus Baby Pterodactylus ### 5/5 — It cost too much for every Dino *2021-04-26* It would be better if we get coins for taking pictures of the dinos. Who agrees? ### 5/5 — Awesome. *2021-03-02* All the dinosaurs are perfect just like the show and movie some don’t have the same roar but that doesn’t matter. ### 5/5 — Childhood *2021-02-26, version 4.6* I remember using this as a kid and now I see you guys updating it.. nice! ### 5/5 — Good temporary substitute for “Jurassic World Alive” *2020-07-20* When you’re walking in the woods & you need a dinosaur picture, yet you have low wifi. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
