### 5/5 — Incredibly engaging

*2017-08-11, version 2.3.2*

This app brings the book to life! Just wish it had volume.

### 1/5 — Purchased in app - but no Dino's

*2015-09-21, version 2.1.1*

I purchased the in-app dinosaurs full pack, and it gave me nothing.  And I have no way to get a refund.  Waste of money.

### 4/5 — Works great but needs in-app purchases

*2015-06-18, version 2.1.1*

I'd give this 5 stars, but it requires $4.99 of in-app purchases to get all 12 dinosaurs to have Augmented Reality (AR). You get only 4 AR Dinosaurs for free with the free app. I personally think that stinks! However, the money is worth it. With my 3rd generation iPad, each page with AR loaded quickly. Note that you need to have the correct lighting for the AR to work, as is explained in the book. Each dinosaur comes to life, roars under your control and moves around with you controlling it with a "joystick" like control. I liked how the dinosaurs move a little when stationary, for instance, blinking their eyes making them seem more alive. This iDinaosaurar app seems to work better than the iSolarsystemarapp that I also have. See my review of that app.
