I also like how you can compare the Dino’s and see who’s stronger. This is a great helpful app for everyone who plays Jurassic world alive. ### 5/5 — 3 new bosses! *2022-10-01, version 2.23.2* There are 3 new bosses the last one is coming up the first new boss is the indominus rex the second new boss is dreadnoutus and the upcoming boss is the unique smildon ### 5/5 — Must Download *2022-09-29, version 2.23.2* If you play Jurassic World Alive there is zero reason not to have this app. No matter what level you are or where your overall progress at the bare minimum you can find at least one aspect of this app useful for you. But honestly, I think it’d be hard to find ONLY one aspect of use no matter where you are in the game! Hands down the best companion app to a mobile game I’ve ever seen. 5 stars doesn’t do it justice. ### 5/5 — Two suggestions *2022-09-08, version 2.23.0* Good app but here some suggestions 1. Option to view dinosaurs 2. Can use Dino move on dummy Dino Extra. Can battle load outs against each other Yep pretty good app hope you consider all these ideas ### 5/5 — Pay the developer *2022-09-04, version 2.22.0* Ludia should consider keeping this app going, it’s a great resource for their game ### 5/5 — Please do… *2022-05-29, version 2.20.0* So in Jurassic World Alive they added Rexy the T.Rex in Jurassic world and I can’t find her in the field Gide so can you please add her thank you. ### 5/5 — The app Is so Useful *2022-05-26, version 2.20.0* Now I’m level 20 because of this app today I played Jurassic World alive And there’s a new legendary dinosaur it’s from Jurassic world dominion It’s really cool and awsome it’s like T. rex but more improved and better looking It’s Called Rexy Can you please update this great app and add the new dinosaur Rexy i’d be happy if you add this update & thank you so much for making this app please update thank you. ### 5/5 — Extra Helpful!!! *2022-02-27, version 2.18.0* I’m a JWA player and this app makes everything easier! It helps me know if I should level my creatures or not. Just update it faster maybe since Albertospinos has confirmed better stats and it gets Merciless Alert so could you please update the app? I really like everything else though. Also, my favorite dinosaur in the game is Albertospinos. ### 5/5 — Awesome app! *2022-02-25, version 2.18.0* I played JWA for about six months before a friend introduced me to the app and I used to try to calculate things by hand. This app makes it SO MUCH EASIER! It also provides information on raids, let’s you play with different boost distributions, etc. The developer is a player and does it all FOR FREE! ### 5/5 — Can you make the models *2022-02-01, version 2.18.0* Can you make mass for this awesome app it’s really cool I enjoy it for Jurassic World alive but can you please make pictures of models and you can move them around because in the real game the models are awesome so how about making a picture in the field guide which is this app in it. please make an update for this😊. ### 5/5 — How do I use this? *2021-08-12, version 2.14.1* I just downloaded the app but I don’t know ANYTHING ABOUT IT! Ok what I’m asking is how do you use this app that’s all. ### 5/5 — Models *2021-06-16, version 2.13.0* Hello creator this is the best Jurassic world guide ever what I’m saying is not much just for every Dino can you like update it so you can see the model in color. NOTE:just saying I’m not begging for it it’s just it would be soooooooo cool to see ### 5/5 — Hi this app is really cool *2021-04-10, version 2.10.0* It gives me a lot of information about the dinosaurs in Jurassic world alive and it tells us a lot of information that I did not know about ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Tier list coming “soon” *2020-10-31, version 2.7.4* It’s literally been almost half a year and their tier list still hasn’t come :/ if you’re having so much trouble let me help you out or something but by this point I don’t know if they just a abandoned the app. I will give it 2 more weeks but after that it’s delete app ### 2/5 — Basic *2019-06-07, version 2.1.3* Eh. This app has great potential- but it’s rarely used (my go to for evolution costs). It would be nice to be able to add my own creature levels, instead of automatically being set to level 26. Also, a battle simulator for strike events would be cool. ### 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. ### 3/5 — Good game but very confusing *2022-01-02, version 2.17.3* When I saw all the good Messages I said I will give it a try so I download the app and I go in I am like looks fun when I go in i tap on a dinosaur I mess with this and that and just many stuff and then I press something and it shows up this whole different Dino I am like ok I guess I did that then I do it again and it shows the same Dino I am like what that heck! Then I press another Dino and it says need to be on lever 21 to upgrade to level 21 I a, like WHAT DO YOU MEAN!!! So I am very very very confused **Developer response:** Hey there! This Jurassic/JWA Field Guide is a helper app for the actual game Jurassic World Alive — it’s not a game on it’s own. If you start playing the full game, the Field Guide will start to make a lot more sense to you! ### 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 ### 4/5 — Great but... *2022-08-02, version 2.22.0* So I recently just downloaded this guide and I’m really into dinosaurs. I thought it would be a nice app to have around. But when I opened it I had no idea what to do. There is no intro at all and if you don’t know how to use DNA to evolve dinos then you are outta luck. It doesn’t make sense. Please improve. ### 4/5 — Update idea *2021-12-17, version 2.17.3* I have been playing this game for a while an have started using this app. But putting in all the info is impossible! It would be amazing if you could log into it this an it links with the game so all my Dino’s info an level are already there ### 4/5 — A little dull *2021-11-03, version 2.16.3* The app is great, don’t get me wrong, but it gets boring over time. Noobs on the app are like ‘ima make the most op deck for my fantasy’ then, after a while be like ‘what’s the point?’ Maybe have a 3d view option, where we get to see the Dino we selected in 3d, along with putting that mode in a habitat, watching it walk around and eat, or something. But hey, this is just an idea. Great app, TwistiTwik ### 4/5 — Crashing *2021-10-19, version 2.16.0* After the new update the app wont open ### 4/5 — Meh *2020-07-24, version 2.6.0* I expected better but this is pretty good I guess I thought long and hard and decided that it’s hard enough to make a app so good job!👏 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 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. :) ### 5/5 — Very helpful *2022-10-22, version 2.24.0* This app is very good for when I’m collecting Dino DNA so I never get stuck waiting for a certain dinosaur I can just go to the nest or where it spawns and easy I got the Dino dna ### 5/5 — Recommended for all JWA players *2022-10-18, version 2.23.2* For someone to not give Matt 5 starts on here is crazy. Dude did an amazing job with this app and makes the updates immediately after am update. This app has everything needed to study and compare the Dinos you’re interested in having on your team. As well as where to even find them. Great job and thanks for everything Matt. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
