### 5/5 — Very impressed

*2026-06-29, version 3.16*

Bought these cards for my 6 year old, simply beautiful.!!

### 5/5 — Best app ever

*2026-04-27, version 3.16*

I got my cards and I know the serial number.

### 4/5 — Works mostly, can’t bring up menu

*2026-04-23, version 3.16*

I have this installed on 3 different devices, thank you. 

I was able to see the Actions menu once or twice. I saw the Skeleton and Drive menu there . 

I can no longer bring up those menu items, no matter how often I tap the menu. 

Asking the developer 2 questions: 

1. How to see the menu again? 

2. Are there any tips to get consistent results? It seems very particular about angle and lighting. 

Thank you.

### 4/5 — Good

*2026-02-12, version 3.16*

Add more dinosaurs! Other than that it’s good.

### 2/5 — Good but one issue

*2026-01-14, version 3.16*

So I had this app a couple years ago on an old device but it says to deauthorize it but I don’t have it anymore so maybe can you make it so the same serial number can work on multiple devices

### 5/5 — Best Dinosaur Toy Ever – Still Unmatched After 7 Years!

*2025-06-12, version 3.16*

This is hands down the coolest and most educational dinosaur toy I’ve ever seen! It teaches you the names of the dinosaurs based on how they sound, shows how they move, displays their skeletons, and even gives detailed information about each one. You can interact with them through your phone or iPad camera as they come to life in front of you – it’s like real-life VR without needing goggles!

I bought this game for just $10 at Barnes & Noble back in 2018, and now it’s 2025 and STILL nothing compares to it. I was surprised to see it had bad reviews, but I realized it’s probably because people lost the key card – which is essential. Just a tip: don’t bother with VR glasses, just use your phone or tablet!

Huge thanks to the creators of this game and app – you deserve an award. Honestly, it should be priced at least $100 for how amazing and educational it is.

### 3/5 — Can’t re-install app

*2023-03-30, version 3.16*

My old phone died in water and I can’t reinstall the Dinosaur 4D+ app on my new phone as the app says I have to deregister the old phone first.
Can the developer tell me the solution or provide an email address?

### 5/5 — Great Fun for Kids and They're Learning at the Same Time

*2023-03-21, version 3.16*

Lots of fun.
A great product.
Highly recommend.
Put two or more dinosaur cards in view of the camera and let them go.

### 1/5 — You actually have to email them to deauthorize old devices

*2022-03-10, version 3.12(4)*

What a terrible design. Kids just want to play this stupid game and it was setup on multiple old phones, you get locked out and you have to email them to deauthorize your old devices. They never return an email or do as you ask. Waste of money and waste of time!

### 5/5 — Amazing!!!

*2022-03-05, version 3.12(4)*

Brilliant app. Kids have spent hours with the dinosaurs. Makes for an interesting car ride on long journeys.
