### 1/5 — Can't hear

*2023-01-03*

I can't hear the dinos in AR mode

### 1/5 — App inutile, piege pour acheter

*2022-12-30, version 3.3.5*

L’app ne fonctionne pas: on voit apparaître un dos de t-rex une demi seconde, ensuite plus rien. App inutile qui crée beaucoup de d’anticipation et ensuite désillusion totale.

### 1/5 — The tyranosouras Rex started flickering.

*2022-04-16*

First of all it only worked once when I went up close but even then the T. rex started shaking and flicker from being on the card to being gone. Also I like cheese

### 1/5 — Unusable and terrible

*2022-01-01, version 3.3.3*

The app is not user friendly at all.  To be honest, it’s terrible and difficult to to operate the camera.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2021-12-28, version 3.3.3*

Perte de temps, l’application ne fonctionne pas, aucune reconnaissance des cartes. Seul le T-rex apparait et quand il apparait, l’image est saccadée. Bref, l’option de l’application devrait être retirée.

### 1/5 — Upside down

*2021-12-24, version 3.3.3*

This app is completely unusable because the image is always upside down. I have uninstalled an reinstalled several time, checked every device setting but still upside down. I checked the App Support here but says page not found. Would give zero stars.

### 1/5 — Upside down!

*2021-08-26, version 3.3.3*

This is horrible and so upsetting for kids.

### 1/5 — Dino appears flopped over

*2021-08-24*

I got a stegosaurus card. Downloaded the app and followed instructions. A jittery T. rex appeared, on its side. Don’t waste your time.

### 1/5 — Camera is upside down, avoid.

*2021-03-08, version 3.3.3*

Avoid, avoid & avoid this product. The AR image and video is upside down. AR image disappears if you move the iPad too far away. Making the mat kind of useless.

### 1/5 — Not good:(

*2021-01-27, version 3.3.3*

The model is shaking all the time and suddenly disappear. Very frustrating;(

### 1/5 — Crashes on iPad ver 9.3.5

*2017-02-03, version 3.0*

Fix this crash - the app won't even start. We bought the Dinosaur DNA product but it is useless in its current state.

### 1/5 — Does not scan

*2024-12-27*

Any time we try to scan the Dino code card that came with the dig kit, nothing happens. My little guy was very disappointed.

### 1/5 — Garbage app

*2024-11-24, version 3.3.5*

This app doesn’t do what it says it will do.

### 1/5 — One Star

*2024-06-22*

I have the stegosaurus card but I KEEP GETTING THE TREX!!! PS i don’t like cheese

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2024-05-02*

Garbage app that does not function at all

### 1/5 — Unusable

*2024-03-25*

The camera always flip vertical and horizontal. How it can be possible i don't know. Developers are zero-level

### 1/5 — If I could give it no stars I would

*2023-08-20, version 3.3.5*

Terrible just doesn’t work in the slightest can see full pictures of the Dino and if you love the camera ever so slightly it’s gone. Rubbish

### 1/5 — Worked once, then stopped

*2023-07-16*

Was cool for the 5 seconds it worked.
Then it stopped working. Now we just scare at a code on the table.

### 1/5 — Can’t believe this costs money to buy

*2023-06-03*

Doesn’t work. Period.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2023-03-26, version 3.3.5*

Won’t scan velociraptor. And the app is upside down making the camera unusable. 0 stars.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2023-02-21, version 3.3.5*

Video is upside down and almost impossible to get a dinosaur to show up.

### 5/5 — Dino codes review

*2021-07-28*

I like cheese

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2019-07-13, version 3.3.2*

Great learning experience with dinosaurs. Loved the whole archeologist experience. It was super fun. Totally recommend it!!!

### 5/5 — This is so amazing but one thing....

*2019-06-17, version 3.3.2*

This is amazing that you get to dig your own fossils but one thing.... I don’t know how to get velociraptor or mammoth, because the only available dinosaurs are, T. rex, triceratops, And stegosaurus, apart from that it is great!

### 3/5 — Very cool, but in-app purchase took my money and won’t work

*2018-04-14*

My kids loved this with the 3 codes they got from dinosaur dig boxes. But, we purchased one dinosaur to use from the app and it is still showing as locked and won’t let us use it. Waste of money and very frustrated. I have reached out to the company and yet to hear back.

### 2/5 — Didn't Work

*2022-08-28*

We didn't receive any dna stickers in our kit and the app did nothing for us. Had fun digging out the bones!

### 2/5 — Pain

*2021-09-12*

Any time I move my phone in a VERY well lit area the Dino goes away. My son doesn’t understand how to use it or move it. Very frustrating.

### 2/5 — Terrible UC

*2020-04-12, version 3.3.2*

I can’t believe a company creating an innovative product can create such a terrible poor app. 
Terrible instructions
Dinosaurs are so big you can’t even see their faces or heads. 
Waste of money!

### 2/5 — Photos didn’t work

*2019-12-27*

The app successfully made an AR dinosaur appear, but repeatedly crashed when I tried to take a photo.

### 2/5 — Don't know - App won't open

*2017-10-15*

Opening the App causes screen to go grey for 1/2 second then it closes.
