Pieces disappear *2020-07-27, version 1.1.0* Cute game. But when you are putting the Skelton together for the dinosaurs sometimes if they are near the top of the screen you accidentally pull down the notifications and then the piece disappears. ### 3/5 — The eating level gone wrong *2018-08-08, version 1.1.0* Well... I’ve been feeding the pterodactyl but then I noticed that you need to also feed it cherries. I have no idea why. I thought pterodactyls ate meat! So can you please make an update that replaces the berries with fish? ### 2/5 — Can’t buy full version *2018-03-03, version 1.1.0* My son loves all this developer’s dinosaur games but the in-app purchasing options keep returning an error so he’s stuck playing the lite versions. ### 2/5 — Can’t restore IAP for full game *2017-11-03, version 1.1.0* There free game is great, but I purchased the full version IAP on my phone, but can’t restore purchases on the iPad for my son to play. The restore button just does nothing. I’m not sure if IAP will be restored with family sharing either, but it doesn’t work within just my account. Probably the hit box for the button on larger screens? ### 2/5 — Nice game but *2017-01-11, version 1.1.0* I bought this app for my kids and they really like it. They didn't play for a while and my daughter wanted to play today and it's locked and I can't restore it. I don't want to pay twice. Really disappointed ### 4/5 — Good *2015-05-20, version 1.0.8* Keeps my 5 year old entertained. ### 2/5 — Naming of dinosaur *2015-05-09, version 1.0.6* It should show or say the name of the dinosaurs ### 1/5 — Refund??? *2015-04-25, version 1.0.6* How do I get a refund? I have never asked for a refund before but I have never been this frustrated. I bought this game for my son and there were white squares everywhere. I went to take it off and reload it again and it wouldn't let me. When I saw you had to act like you were buying it again and it would say that you already did it would just freeze up on me. ### 1/5 — Will not restore to give me all levels! *2015-04-17, version 1.0.6* My 4 yr old loves this game so I made the $2.99 purchase to get all of the levels but the game won't restore to unlock the levels. So I basically wasted my money and my son is upset. 😔 I wish I had read the reviews first because I see that a lot of other people are having the same problem. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Memory game *2024-11-17, version 1.1.0* In the memory game it is sooo easy and not fun at all.I would appreciate it if you could make it harder.😀 ### 1/5 — No good *2022-09-14, version 1.1.0* Purchased and still won’t unlock the whole game ### 1/5 — Worst game *2021-02-04, version 1.1.0* It is the worst game ever u need to buy stuff with real money ### 1/5 — Fix your app! *2020-12-31, version 1.1.0* I bought this full version app for my daughters as they love it. Well today we go to restore the purchase because we bought a new iPad and you can’t restore. The game responds to the X or to “purchase again” option but not to restore. Is there an actual way to get this thing pulled off the App Store if it’s designed to purposely charge customers each time they need to download it? Absolutely awful. Even other apps that I buy on my Apple ID and share with my family restore purchases just fine. This app doesn’t allow you to even restore under the same Apple ID the purchase was made under. ### 1/5 — Too simple and needs constant restarting *2020-03-29, version 1.1.0* Paid 2.99 for constant rebooting and games that don’t save, and simple games that should be a 99 cent or free app, don’t buy ### 1/5 — Dino games *2019-07-06, version 1.1.0* 5 out of 5 ### 1/5 — Rip off *2016-03-01, version 1.0.9* You end up having to continue to purchase section after section of in app purchases. I hate a rip off, just charge on center for the program, not have my five yr old crying because it doesn't work. In general the graphics and puzzles are poor as well. NOT WORTH IT, EVEN FOR FREE. ### 1/5 — Why? *2015-11-15, version 1.0.9* For some reason I no longer have access to the full app. I paid for the full version a couple of years ago and now my preschooler can no longer play the games he loved. Seems dumb to pay again for a game l already bought. Why not allow the full version for those who bought it? ### 1/5 — Money theft *2015-05-28, version 1.0.8* Paid for in app full game but it won't work thanks for stealing my money! ### 1/5 — Paid for the full version and it will not load *2015-05-10, version 1.0.6* Just freezes every time you try to restore it....so annoyed. Rip off...wish I'd read the other reviews before purchasing. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — OMG I LOVE THIS *2023-02-16, version 1.1.0* i’m 11 but i still play this and i love it YOU GUYS ARE SO NOSTALGIC PLZ MAKE MOREEEE ### 5/5 — Nice app *2023-01-07, version 1.1.0* My toddler really likes this app ### 5/5 — Great *2020-12-30, version 1.1.0* I like this game. ### 5/5 — Pretty good *2020-02-02, version 1.1.0* I like it so much when I was a kid ### 5/5 — Tty *2019-06-24, version 1.1.0* Mmmmmoooooooooooooppppppppptttttt ### 5/5 — Grandkids love it! *2019-01-22, version 1.1.0* Matching is great for memory. Some are just for fun. Counting is still a challenge for my 3 year old and 4 year old ### 5/5 — Fun for preschooler *2016-08-17, version 1.0.9* I like the free trial option. We will be buying the rest of the games soon. Our 3 year old loves this and helps him sit for potty training. ### 5/5 — Daughter loves it *2016-06-11, version 1.0.9* My 2 & 4.5y old daughters love this game. ### 5/5 — My grandson loves it *2016-02-01, version 1.0.9* My grandson loves playing the game because of the dinosaurs. I love him playing it because he is learning patterns, letters and numbers. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Failed on restore? *2015-04-22, version 1.0.6* If you failed on”Restore the full version”，you may choose “Get Full Version For A Special Price”.
