### 5/5 — Jurassic World

*2026-08-23, version 12.8*

King of the dinosaur

### 1/5 — Outdated

*2026-08-02*

The app is an outdated app. It basically shows pictures of dinosaurs and when you click on information button, there is a voice over telling you about dinosaurs, it is not interactive. The pictures do not zoom in and neither there are any videos of dinosaurs. So basically if they are charging any money for this, that is kind of overpayment, the app do not deserve any payment.

### 5/5 — Good

*2026-07-29*

Amazing

### 3/5 — Why

*2026-06-29, version 12.7.1*

Why do I have to pay for 75% of it. It should come with the game. I am no’t paying $5.00 a week to play over half of the app. All get to do is look at pictures of dinosaurs and news.

### 5/5 — Accurate dinosaurs

*2026-06-13, version 12.7*

You put accurate Dinos in this app and the realism it’s so cool like instead of Jurassic Park or Jurassic World’s dinosaurs which are so inaccurate the point is thank you for putting accurate dinosaurs I noticed that the dilophosaurus didn’t spit acid or have the grill which I’m happy about

### 5/5 — Awesome game with a very small fix

*2026-06-10, version 12.7*

AMAZING. but on the dinosaur world map/globe you gotta update the Triassic and Cretaceous. Update could you also update the t- Rex skin layer of the anatomy model every year or so because we are constantly discovering new things about it. And if possible could you add more dinosaurs to the anatomy section, but that’s a suggestion not a critique because making 3D models is hard

### 5/5 — I loved this app until this started using AI

*2026-04-27, version 12.6*

I love all the dinosaurs and all the pictures are in the game. I just wish that dinosaurs like the Dilophosaurus and Compsognathus weren’t AI generated

### 5/5 — I love dinosaurs

*2026-03-22, version 12.4*

My fav

### 5/5 — This app is amazing!

*2026-02-20, version 12.4*

Am a real fan of paleontology, and this app is the best!

### 5/5 — Mustafa Asad

*2026-02-14, version 12.3*

Thank you
