Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: The Dinosaur Encyclopedia at 5.0 against Fun Bugs's 4.4. The Dinosaur Encyclopedia also leads on update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 5 months). Fun Bugs's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 80%) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 15.0). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Fun Bugs sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and The Dinosaur Encyclopedia sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

The Dinosaur Encyclopedia holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 8 and 22 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Fun Bugs's written reviews are positive against 80% of The Dinosaur Encyclopedia's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Fun Bugs ships an update every 5 months, The Dinosaur Encyclopedia every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 9, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
