## What is Jurassic Field Guide?

JWA Field Guide is the ultimate companion app for Ludia's Jurassic World Alive and is the essential tool to carry with you on all of your dino hunts!

With JWA Field Guide, you can view the entire list of in-game dinosaurs. The Search box allows you to quickly find any dinosaur by entering any part of its Name, Tier, Rarity Type, Moves, or Spawn Details!

By tapping on any of the stat icons below the search box, you can group and sort the main creature list by:
• Alpha, Move, Spawn Location, Tier, Rarity, Health, Damage, Speed, Armor, or Critical Chance

From either the Creatures tab or Loadouts tab, tapping on a dinosaur will take you to the full details screen. From there, you can:
• Assign a dinosaur to one of your custom Loadouts
• Compare the Stats and Moves of any two creatures
• View the dinosaur's Genetic Makeup (including the minimum Level requirements as well as how much DNA per Fuse is needed)
• View any Possible Hybrids
• View the dinosaur's full Stats (including Tier, Rarity, Health, Damage, Speed, Armor, and Critical Chance)
• View the Spawn Details including Spawn Locations and Times
• View all possible Moves, including any Swap In moves or Counter-Attacks
• View the full, calculated list of Health and Damage stats for ALL Levels of the selected dinosaur (you're no longer limited to only Level 26!)

For all of the dinosaurs listed under Genetic Makeup and Possible Hybrids, you can tap on any of them to go straight to that dinosaur's full details screen. Now, you no longer have to unlock a dinosaur to be able to access this information! This is great for planning out which dinosaurs you should be hunting now to target those dominant Uniques!

JWA Field Guide also contains an extremely useful Evolve Costs calculator which quickly tells you how many coins and DNA resources are required to evolve a dinosaur of a particular rarity type from one level to any other level. The calculator can also tell you what level you can evolve your creature to by specifying how much DNA you have on-hand.

Happy Dino Hunting, fellow DPG Members!

### 5/5 — Great aid for the game

*2023-07-25*

Thank you, thank you, thank you for continuing to update this app!! 
With so many new creatures being introduced, this makes it so much easier to decide which I want to focus my time on developing. TBH, I almost stopped playing, since this hadn’t been an update in so long, but thank you for picking up the reins and continuing!!

### 5/5 — Almost as good as Jurassic World Alive itself. A few glitches though

*2023-07-16*

This has helped me have fun making so many notes on the Notes app. It is (you don’t have to read all these very’s) very very very very very very very very very very very very very good. Although, in the new Omega Update, there are a couple glitches. Styracosaurus Lux’s “Instant Fierce Rampage” (I don’t have it, but the glitch stops that from appearing and gives a obvious clue) appears as “IDS_TIP_ABILITY_TITLE_INSTANT_FIERCE_RAMPAGE”. This is the first glitch. Another is that Yuxisaurus’s Spiked Protection’s description is:

Priority.
Target opponent with most positive effects: Afflict all restistances $
{resistpercent}% lasting ${afflictduration} turns. DoT 20% 6 attacks 3 turns. Target Self: 50% shield 4 attacks 2 turns. Increase armor 25% 4 attacks 2 turns. Cooldown: 2.

But otherwise, it is very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very good.

### 3/5 — Updates are too few and far between

*2023-06-11*

With how frequently the game is updated you’d think a field guide would do the same, for the past 6 months little has been done to change the information shared especially with so many new changes the field guide just isn’t able to keep up and isn’t useful anymore because it’s so outdated. However when it was current the app was extremely helpful, just wish it would stay that way for longer.

### 4/5 — Updating

*2023-05-31*

This helpful app should be getting updated every month or at least ever time the game app has an update. I try to find new dinos and understand how they are best used but I can’t find a lot of the newer dinos. Please update as soon as possible!! Last game update I got was with the new Omegas and the last tool update was 5 months ago! Almost half a year! There’s a lot of change going on and it would help to have this tool app to be faster with updating

### 5/5 — Loving It

*2023-05-14*

Seriously love the app! I use it to help me plan my DNA collection so I can target those dinosaurs I want. It also helps to see how abilities change per level and boost. 

The only thing missing is timely updates as the new dinosaurs get released (3 new ones recently). My dream wish is to link it to my dinos in JWA, but we know that’s a no-go unless JWA buys this one out. :) Keep it up!

### 5/5 — Good app

*2023-04-19*

I have to say this app is really useful I would recommend downloading this app I can help you on what creatures you want or don’t have but want to know there move sets i’ve been using this app for about five months now and it’s helped me a lot i’ve been able to beat tournaments easier because it shows you the options for boost so instead of using them randomly, and hoping to get a good outcome of it, it shows you the raid move sets for the bosses and I think it’s interesting. Really good app worth download It’s also free and no ads

### 5/5 — Ignorant Reviewers

*2023-03-08, version 2.25.1*

It’s hilarious to me how many people complain about this app is boring and are expecting it to be a game in and of itself. Just read the description people. This is a COMPANION app for an already existing game called Jurassic World Alive. As far as my experience with the app, it’s been wonderful. Rarely, if ever, buggy and it’s nice to be able to see movesets for the creatures you haven’t unlocked yet in the game. My only complaint is the tier list. It hasn’t been updated in months. Other than that it’s an A+.

### 5/5 — Best app I’ve downloaded

*2022-12-26, version 2.25.1*

This is an amazing app, i only have one small request; Dinos that have been buffed or nerfed should have extra tabs on them to see how it’s changed. Just an idea.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2022-11-11, version 2.24.0*

It’s such a good app and helps me a lot with the game, the only thing I have a problem with is that the tier list takes a while to update. If you could, can you please just update the first 3 tiers then update the rest later.

### 5/5 — Agreed with Violetxoxox

*2022-10-23, version 2.24.0*

I agree, it does help me and when I’m doing a raid battle or a pvp or campaign battle sometimes I go onto this app to see what is stronger, the opponents Dino or my Dino. It’s really helpful and I love it. Thanks for making this app for all players of Jurassic World Alive. :)
