I have an IPhone 12. Also I bought the No Ads but I can’t collect rewards because it says I’m not connected to the internet even though I am. I love the game though! One of the better idle games for sure. ### 2/5 — Game won’t open *2025-12-09, version v 1.0.9* The game isn’t opening at all, it won’t get past the first screen before it fades to grey and just sits there. Is it broken? I was going to buy the ad free option, but now I’m worried it won’t open reliably enough to justify paying for it. ;( ### 3/5 — Won’t start up *2025-11-27, version v 1.0.9* This game started off fun for the first couple weeks but then after that it refuses to even start now. Please tell I didn’t spend money on this game, only for it to stop working! ### 4/5 — An sich cool *2024-10-14* An sich cooles spiel aber die umfragen sind alle scam ### 5/5 — Eb *2024-07-07* Love the game would love more updates tho maybe like events now it’s quite old tho so it’s understandable great game tho anyway ### 5/5 — Good game but *2024-02-21* The ads don’t work for some reason ### 5/5 — Problem with ads *2024-01-06* I love the game my only problems are I can’t receive the reward for the ads Could you also let us receive more diamonds for the ads and relatively make diamonds more easier to get ### 4/5 — Update please *2023-12-30, version v0.7.2* This game it’s amazing but it’s the same in the last years this game really needs a update, add more dinosaurs or something please ### 5/5 — Absolutely amazing!!!! *2023-09-26* One of the best idle games out there and especially if your a Dinosaur lover.. Only thing I have to say is that the Dino’s don’t move around which is a let down. Might just be a bug in my game but still even with that I have to say by far this is one of the best idle games out there. Seriously other then that one issue this is so worth the time. I don’t have money to purchase anything on the game because the west coast USA is so expensive lol I wish though because like I said multiple times that this game is the best out there! This is the only game that I would suggest paying real money for even though the ads are very few to begin with which is a major positive as well. Thank You for this masterpiece of a game! Pixel meets Jurassic park meets Idle! Lol If I ever do get money I’m totally going to purchase the no ad ect. ### 5/5 — Good game *2023-07-30, version v0.7.2* It’s a really good game ### 5/5 — pretty fun *2023-07-23, version v0.7.2* i like it so far it's pretty fun and relatively mindless ### 5/5 — Best game ever *2023-06-26, version v0.7.2* I love this game becuase it is fun’blocky and i love dinos and the best part is NO ADDS unless you click gift most of the time ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not playable *2026-06-23, version 1.0.11* It won’t even open there’s just a grey screen ### 1/5 — Help *2026-06-12, version 1.0.11* I tried playing the game however when i click on it there is a grey screen abd my phone crashes ### 1/5 — Game Does Not Load *2026-05-11, version 1.0.11* The game does not load past the initial grey screen and is broken in its current state. ### 1/5 — Bug *2026-01-23, version 1.0.11* It was fun when I first played it but every time I open the app it’s just a black screen and doesn’t complete loading. Super disappointing considering I already spent 10 dollars to get rid of ads. ### 1/5 — Lost my $20 *2025-12-07, version v 1.0.9* I played this game for a few hours spent $20 and now when I click the game it’s just a dark grey screen that doesn’t load so I uninstalled the game and re downloaded it and now my $20 is gone wtf ### 1/5 — Offensive game *2025-10-31, version v 1.0.6* Pen upgrades and dino unlocks quickly become a waiting game. The management loop is shallow, with lots of reskinned creatures and premium currencies nudging you toward the store. ### 1/5 — Great Game that’s been abandoned *2023-02-14* The developers have ditched this game and its no longer being updated. While fun, the end can be easily reached in a day leaving a lot to be desired. ### 1/5 — Can’t restore my purchases *2022-03-17* I love this game, I played it consistently for months and got to the point I felt like there was nothing left to do so I deleted it and played something else. I recently decided I wanted to play again however when I tried to restore my purchases it wouldn’t let me. I had bought the ads removal package as-well as a couple Dino skins. If you can fix it to where I can get those back I’ll change it to 5 stars ### 1/5 — Terrible game! *2022-01-31, version v0.7.2* Congratulations! You made one of the most boring games ever made! DELETE, ### 2/5 — IAPs not restorable *2026-02-01* I used to love the game, but as I wanted to play it again now i wasn’t able to restore my purchases. It says internet connection required. But I was able to download the game, so… same goes for idle tap zoo. Pls update that, so that i can alter this score ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love this game! *2026-03-05* I’ve been playing a few weeks or so and it seems as though I’ve beat the game.. I’ve unlocked all the dinosaurs and hit the max on visitor income. How often do you guys come out with new stuff? Will there be tournaments eventually where we can compete with other players? I love this game and hope it continues to put out good stuff! Thanks so much! ### 5/5 — Awsome *2025-10-21* Sauce ### 5/5 — Able to be active play or idle *2025-09-28, version v. 1.0.4* I installed this game on a whim and have had a lot of fun buying and selling Dino’s in my spare time. ### 5/5 — Great game *2025-09-21, version v. 1.0.4* I like idle games and this one is pretty good. No forced ads ### 5/5 — Bro *2025-07-20, version v0.7.2* This game is amazing so I just trade it off like over 100 raptors for a a lot of money So then I use that money to buy two new triceratops which was a new species for me so then I upgrade their birth rate so they can start breeding so I won’t have to spend millions of millions to buy like 20 more and then it says there’s a sickness outbreak in the raptor pen so then I’m like oh no I just sold over 100 raptors to get the money to buy a herd of triceratops and to upgrade their birth rate so they can start breeding so then the Raptors population starts dropping and at that time that was my only carnivore in the park and the raptor paddock was the main attraction so then the raptor start getting lower and lower population. Then when they dropped to 10 Raptors in population, I didn’t want to let them go extinct, but I didn’t want to spend what little money I had to buy new ones so then they went extinct and then I’m like great there goes my main attraction but then a miracle happen where my money started to flow like water so then I conveniently got enough money because the triceratops started to multiply so then that’s why my money started to flow like water so conveniently I got enough to buy six raptor which was very expensive so then I’m like yay my main attraction is back so then I upgrade their birth rate and I lowered their death rate so they won’t die as frequently and then I discovered that that I have enough money for a new attraction so I buy the fossil center, and now I’m basically rolling in money so thanks for reading the review bro like this game I conveniently found when I was scavenging every nook and cranny for a game to play because I’m actually waiting for a game. I spent over $67 on to come out so yeah time goes fast when you’re not waiting for anything but it conveniently slows down when you are.lol but now I have something to play while I wait Thank you for making this game developers 🥳 ### 5/5 — Trapping *2025-03-03* I get trapped in this game for ages whilst playing it, probably the best idle game I’ve played so far with a bit of a retro feel to it ### 5/5 — It aight *2024-12-25, version v0.7.2* 👍🏻 ### 5/5 — Needs attention *2024-11-17* This is an amazing game I’m 100% addicted I’ll find myself playing this from when I wake up till 4am in the morning On the down side you have to wait 3 days for a challenge I feel like there needs to be more events and challenges because between when you finish the challenge and when the next one starts it’s very dull with not as much reward for time put in where as the challenge rewards you hefty when you try harder Other then the game just needing a little more love and attention from the developers it’s an amazing game and I 100% recommend it ### 5/5 — Great game *2024-09-24* Really enjoying this game, wish it and its discord had more active players Hey Fudds, this one is a gem, and def worth a rework/update, I bet a few new Dinos, some bug/UI fixes, and maybe a tournament setup would perk this one right back up :) ### 5/5 — W *2024-07-31, version v0.7.2* W --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
