### 2/5 — Cute but tough

*2022-03-13, version 3.11*

This game is adorable and i like that you can care for a Dino of your own. But the other day my sister came home from school exited to check on her Dino. When she got into the app there was a note saying she did not care for her Dino enough. In my opinion this does not seem fair, because; people cannot always be on a screen 24/7 to care for the Dino. My sister has other things to do, and can’t always be on her iPad. Again, cute game, but tough to do.

### 4/5 — old version???

*2019-04-22, version 3.9*

PLEASE bring back the old version from 3 or 4 years ago!! It would be so nostalgic. I’d appreciate it greatly. This version isn’t very good :(

### 3/5 — Good for little kids

*2016-10-14, version 3.1.9*

This game is for little kids although they will find this game boring after a while.

I find this game needs more virtuality because it's quite unrealistic

### 5/5 — Adorable game

*2016-07-30, version 3.1.9*

My niece loves playing this game and just everything you can do in this.

### 4/5 — love

*2016-07-21, version 2.7.7*

I love this game.

### 5/5 — Love this game and my Dino

*2016-06-30, version 3.1.9*

This is not a 10 minutes game! You really have to take care your Dino. Build your own business strategy with farm. My is focused on producing and sale fertilizers.  Perfect graphic!

### 5/5 — So freaking awesome

*2016-06-21, version 3.1.8*

### 3/5 — So far so good.

Good game

### 3/5 — Dino

*2016-06-16, version 3.1.8*

Hi 
I think the app is pretty good but maybe you can add in the dinosaur status and you can decorate it also make things cost a bit lest

### 4/5 — Fun not sure about butterfly money making

*2016-06-07, version 3.1.7*

It's cute haven't had long enough to see how well my little one likes it but I'll have to get the money for her. Butterfly game that you use to get coins is so finicky. I can tap a butterfly many times but it won't respond properly.

### 5/5 — Cute dino

Love these little dinosaurs. The game is really fun to play. Highly recommended!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Awful

*2019-05-15, version 3.10*

This app is awful. My 6 year old was excited to play it until after 30 mins of playing, her Dino wrote her a letter and left her. You have to purchase another Dino if you want to keep playing. She was devastated and didn’t understand why her pet left her. Awful game for kids!

### 1/5 — Money Pit

*2016-06-11, version 3.1.7*

The first version of this game was simple and fun. The added farming element is not welcome. The butterfly games would be fun, in theory, except the app does not register most tapping and there doesn't seem to be a difference between any of the games.

In my opinion, the farm addition is a forced add-on to encourage micro transactions. I don't have time to check on this thing every twenty minutes, but if I don't, all these crops disappear forever, I run out of coins, and this dinosaur dies or runs away or whatever. It's rigged so that you immediately spend all your coins and have to purchase more or enslave yourself to checking the app every half hour. Not even the most fragile tamogatchi was that high maintenance. You'll waste less time buying your kid a real puppy or waiting for the mad scientists to clone that wooly mammoth they found in a glacier a few years ago.

### 1/5 — No, just no

*2016-02-07, version 3.1.0*

Had a different version and somehow got deleted. Now the game is completely different and was not able to restore purchases . The pet gets sick after just a day and you hardly make any money catching those butterflies.

### 1/5 — Hate it

*2015-10-08, version 2.8*

My pet died and I have to pay real money to get a new pet😤😪😪😪😪😪😪😢😢😢😥

### 1/5 — Inadequate

*2015-10-02, version 3.0.0*

This game is no longer an enjoyable experience. It eats a lot, and when I try to change its diet I cannot because it will get hungry if I attempt to change its eating habits. I would rather go back to the tiny pet! I feel unsatisfied with the new update. I also see no reason for the farm as it earns me no coins. I enjoyed sitting with my pet, occasionally tapping butterflies onto the screen, feeding it, and saving up for the elixir of life and free food. I am disappointed with the new update and my money which I have gathered over a year  is quickly disappearing. Please fix this as I am angry and upset at the new version of the game, or please can someone let me know if there are other versions of the game which are the same as the original. I do not recommend the updated game. Five stars to the original!

### 1/5 — Not worth it!

*2015-09-07, version 2.8*

This game is sooooooooo stupid all you do is name it watch it eat and drink and play tick tack toe I wanted to give it 0 stars but I have to choose a star

### 1/5 — Hate it

*2015-05-10, version 2.8*

It died while i was at school and ur making e pay for it no way u .......  .......

### 1/5 — I don't understand

*2015-02-03, version 2.8*

I honestly dont understand this game at all. Its very confusing. Not worth downloading. Impossibly boring. I also dont like the rude comments my blue dino Ocean says

### 1/5 — Ok, not cool, app fine, and a little boring the worst thing-

*2014-12-04, version 2.8*

Ok, it's the dying. What if a little 3 year old was playing this and their dino dies. They might cry. And seriously breeding should be allowed and I was sad when my dino died. Seriously you app creators should make a thing where we can get a new dino when the other one dies. 😒 MAYBE worth another star. Fix this and I would MAYBE give it 5 stars. Not even worth 3 minutes of play,

### 1/5 — R.i.p Onyx

*2014-12-01, version 2.8*

I got the pet,named it,fed it, gave it water,played tic tac toe with it, left it alone for ONE night-and when I woke up it said my pet was mal -nutrition and IT WAS IN A GRAVE! A GRAVE!!!! Also,it gave me 1,459 messages.Yes,you heard me! One-thousand-four-hundred-fifty-nine. And a majority of those messages had swearing and rudeness in them like,"give me some water dam***!" Or "Your a horrible owner" and i found it very disgusting and annoying.Also,within those 10 minutes of playing, I saw the only thing to do with it was play tic-tac-toe.You can't wash it,pet it.Overall,just horrible.Needs BOATLOADS of improvement.

### 5/5 — How dose da pet talk?

*2026-03-06, version 3.21*

How does the pet talk

### 5/5 — A huge improvement

*2026-02-02, version 3.16*

Downloaded this  game about a year or so ago and the original version was boring. Pete never talked and there was hardly any interaction besides feeding and cleaning up after it. NOW it’s completely different and ten times better. Your Dino has a personality, the graphics has differently improved! I definitely can’t wait to see what else will come! Keep up the good work Dev!
