Great Idea!

I’m a huge dinosaur fan and I love love love the idea of Duolingo for dinosaurs but I wish the learning aspects of the app were expanded. Each of the levels really need some kind of lesson so that you aren’t just guessing and checking. Id really like learning the information in a way that won’t kill all of my lives or encourage me to just google answers. Overall though really great concept! Losing the AI would also be pretty cool but it seems like y’all are already working on that. For your first app you did a really great job!

One of the best apps out there!!

This app is absolutely great! I’ve had an awesome time learning about different prehistoric creatures and digging up fossils to analyze! For anyone wanting to get an app specifically directed toward fun paleontology, this is the one to get! The only problem on my end is that I cannot go to other places to dig fossils, and it restricts me to a certain spot for some reason. The background doesn’t appear either, and it says I need an API key. But other than that, this is probably the best paleontology app I have ever gotten! 10/10, would definitely recommend.

Response from developer

..

the answers always go from A-B-C-D then repeat.

Response from developer

Thank you for the review! The answers are randomized, but sometimes you can unfortunately get the same A-B-C-D pattern across a few lessons by chance. We understand that can feel repetitive, and we’ll keep improving the quiz experience. Thanks for pointing it out, and have a great day!

Developers listen to feedback!

I’ve been following this project for a long while and I’ve watched them iron out kinks consistently and listen to feedback. I can finally happily say they’re officially switching to REAL paleo art, no more AI! This was honestly my biggest hang up about the project and this change means a great deal to me. The substance of the app continues to grow and become a better learning platform for all things paleo. A must have for dinosaur nerds.
