We did not allow access to other devices on the network as no other devices have the game downloaded. Is there a fix for this black screen issue? ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work. *2021-03-15, version 1.0.1* Just purchased the comparable book from a school book fair with the thought the app was in working condition. Super frustrating to log on to the App Store and see the app hasn’t been updated in 4 years. Held my breath and downloaded anyways. Nope... doesn’t work. Upset 6 year old and frustrated parent. ### 1/5 — You can’t even see this game *2020-11-21, version 1.0.1* When I log on I thought the graphics were good but then I went in singles player mode and battle mode it didn’t work well the battle mode didn’t work but the single play one was so misleading! ### 1/5 — Need to fix App *2020-11-03, version 1.0.1* Screen shows up black and from what I can tell the app is not communicating with the camera so the dinosaur does not show up. ### 2/5 — Why? PIECE. OF. JUNK. *2020-10-22, version 1.0.1* It doesn’t even work. The camera keeps on going black! It used to, and sometimes does, but... ### 3/5 — Kinda.... *2020-10-19, version 1.0.1* Well I’m gonna start off with saying, on my screen it’s BLACK and in battle mode I can’t even see my own DINOSAUR! For my brothers phone it works perfectly. Why not for me!? Ok on the bright side the graphics are really cool and the dinosaurs to choose are awesome. Me and my family bought the book like a year ago maybe, and we were so excited to see the app and how it works but we never downloaded it last year (I don’t know why). Maybe I should delete and download again?? I don’t know. I’ll try. Thank you for reading and making time! ### 1/5 — Half $&@ app;bait and switch to sell the book *2020-04-03, version 1.0.1* This is a poorly designed app that I can only guess was supposed to help book sales. The problem is, the app was never released in a workable condition. ### 2/5 — Needs to be updated *2019-12-13, version 1.0.1* I am having the same issues as the previous reviewer had, My dinosaurs constantly disappear. I also have a spinning wheel that says “waiting” throughout the whole experience. It doesn’t seem to bother my 4 year old dinosaur enthusiast grandson but I think it is very distracting. ### 1/5 — I HATE IT *2019-12-01, version 1.0.1* This game is stupid,😡 it is frustrating I hate it. I thought you could pick dinosaur characters but no ### 3/5 — Need to update the app if you’re still selling the book! *2019-04-17, version 1.0.1* The graphics are really awesome, but the dinosaurs disappear often. The app has glitches, but it hasn’t been updated for 2 years. We bought the book at a school book fair 1 year ago, expecting that the app would work properly. It gets really frustrating for my son. He gets the dinosaur to come “alive” out of the book and then it just disappears. We can hear it, but can’t see it anywhere. Then we have to close the app to get a new dinosaur. ### 1/5 — Battle mode doesn’t work. *2018-07-22, version 1.0.1* No matter what we try the battle mode doesn’t work. ### 1/5 — TERRIBLE!!! *2018-03-25, version 1.0.1* I can’t believe they sell this in the book fair in my school, The book is literally called Dinosaur Battle but the feature doesn’t work! ### 1/5 — Won’t work right *2018-03-03, version 1.0.1* We got the book and then tried the app. We can’t get it to work right, and my six year old is highly disappointed. ### 1/5 — Horrible App *2018-02-01, version 1.0.1* Terrible app. The instructions are useless. It is a ”game” that is part of a book I bought my son at his school’s book fair. Can’t figure out how to play it, and he’s nagging to play because the pictures in the book make it look cool. Thanks for amping up my 6 year old for an app that is total crap. I’m sure I’ll only have to listen to him nagging to play every time he opens the darn book. ### 2/5 — FIX BATTLE MODE!! *2017-11-18, version 1.0.1* You can't sell a book called Dinosaur Battle and not have the battle feature work!! My 5yr old (and myself) were so disappointed! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — All black, doesn’t work *2022-12-07, version 1.0.1* This app is either seriously flawed or not maintained. It’s all black in battle mode. Pretty big let down following a school book fair, where our kid paid for this book and was pumped to do battle but it didn’t work at all. ### 1/5 — All black, doesn’t work *2022-12-07, version 1.0.1* In single mode all you see is a dinosaur on a black background. In battle mode all you see is black with a blue and red circle where I assume the Dino’s are supposed to be. There is clearly something wrong with this app.. ### 1/5 — Scammed *2022-04-23, version 1.0.1* I feel I was scammed. The screen is black. I can not do what’s shown in the book. My son and I are very disappointed. ### 1/5 — Black screen *2022-01-04, version 1.0.1* Unable to play the game as it only shows a black screen. My kid was really disappointed after he bought the book that he wasn’t able to play the game ### 1/5 — Unusable *2021-12-11, version 1.0.1* Does not work at all! If the goal is to upset children they nailed it. ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work correctly *2021-12-09, version 1.0.1* What a disappointment. Does not work, only a black screen shows up. You can hear the sound and see a few buttons but that’s it. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2021-11-23, version 1.0.1* Bought book at school Book fair. Grandson very excited to play in app. Very discouraged app is not user friendly and does not operated correctly . Black screen on both ipad and phones. Would have chosen a different book. ### 1/5 — Nothing but a spinning wheel *2021-10-05, version 1.0.1* Saw a Dino for about 2 seconds. The rest of the time I just had a spinning wheel. ### 1/5 — Not good *2021-09-30, version 1.0.1* The screen is black on all the devices we downloaded the game to. Very disappointed. ### 1/5 — Where do you buy the book *2021-05-20, version 1.0.1* Please tell me where to buy the book ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Why is there a black screen *2022-04-29, version 1.0.1* Whenever I play multiplayer the screen is black ### 5/5 — Good but single player mode is black *2021-08-01, version 1.0.1* I don’t have the book but I accepted camera but single player mode for me is black ### 5/5 — I liked it *2019-05-16, version 1.0.1* I didn’t experience any glitches except for my dinosaur disappearing.I liked it ### 5/5 — Good game! *2017-09-23, version 1.0.1* The game is great overall, but the game just refuses to load when I open it. Please fix this bug. Update: it works OK, but there are a few random crashes. Please fix these crashes. Update 2: Ok Red Frog Digital, this is my second update. I got my Dinosaur battle book from my Sam Houston school's book fair. I know that the crash was most likely because two phones were not connected. But how do I battle with another? ### 5/5 — You need a book *2017-05-14, version 1.0.1* I have a book that you need for battle mode. You will love the game if you get the book. ### 4/5 — Great but needs fixes *2018-05-16, version 1.0.1* Here’s an example. Battle mode... it doesn’t show the dinosaurs, just the blue and red things. Fix this please. ### 4/5 — App works, directions require some interpretation *2018-05-11, version 1.0.1* This app works as advertised. We had trouble getting battle mode to work because we kept trying to use the page on which a selected dinosaur was shown (like in single player mode). Turns out we were supposed to scan the page where the directions for battle mode are displayed. Once we got that running, the kids had a grand time dunking it out with the dinosaurs for about 10 min. ### 4/5 — Pretty Dang Cool But... *2017-05-02, version 1.0.1* This app is so COOL! With virtual dinosaurs battling before your eyes it's just when me and my friends try to connect you have to do every thing very specifically for it to work and sometimes it takes forever to load and sometime glitch out the dinosaurs like crazy but besides that It's Amazing And Love It So Much! ### 4/5 — It works *2017-04-09, version 1.0.1* Son loves it!! Instructions aren't super clear but they are correct. We have used battle on iPhones and iPads with no issues. Player 1 has to enter battle first making sure dinosaur appears on the instructions page. Then player 2 will be able to find player 1 and enter battle. ### 4/5 — Some dinosaurs don't work *2017-03-17, version 1.0.1* I would've rated 5 stars but some dinos don't work. Plz fix this problem. Thx! 🐊🐊🐊🐊 (there aren't any dinosaur emojis) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
