Dino Walk - Your World History App Reviews

Ive learned a lot from this app and really enjoy seeing the continents move around and viewing the life forms. My 22 month old son loves it too.

I like the continental drift aspect, but Im not sure what they are going for with placing species. During some periods, some species of that period are mixed in with contemporary species or species are displayed that are already extinct (e.g.: there were not even close ancestors of the thresher shark during the Silurian period); during the first epoch of the age of mammals (the Paleocene) there are still dinosaurs like the hypselosaurus (who should have been by that time wiped out by Mr. Asteroid) running around with contemporary not-yet-evolved reptile species (and yes there are a few but not enough accurate species of the time). I think there may have been a little of a rush releasing this app as on the pay-for category. I find myself spending time figuring out whether species are aligned with that period or of our time (though a photo rather than an illustration is a good hint that the species didnt exist in its present form 400 million years ago). Im guessing the authors put these inaccuracies in there as place holders to keep things interesting while they more thoroughly gather research. A big update is in order! I will not seek a refund hoping they will quickly bring this good concept into a more accurate and full potential. I would consider this app in early beta.

Love this app, the kids are fascinated with it, its perfect for a classroom interactive session!

Lethargic. Had to reinstall a couple times. Sound didnt work at first. Stalls a lot. Have to restart the app. Needs updates....

This review is only for the Apple TV version of the app. The space mystic music is too loud and competes with the voice over when you click play on a certain item. You turn up the volume to hear the voice tell you about the item but the music raises with it (obviously) and drowns out the voice.

Thanks for the awesome app. Some feedback: 1. The species should appear on the map only in the age during which they lived. 2. Quiz mode is hopelessly difficult and long. Make it a lot simpler to cater to a broad audience. Also, gamify it more.

Interesting. From paleontology to zoology. Another good app by Vito.

This app is complete nonsense, because it shows the recent fauna together with extinct ones in maps of past eras, where those organisms did not exist. Highly misleading!

My son LOVES this app! He has quickly gained a real appreciation for the continental drift, the passage of years and long extinct creatures. Its easy to use and full of great information. Well worth it!

Oh dear … Dreck … A sorry mixture of living stuff interspersed with fossil species — with no attempt to explain why such confusing juxtapositions are being made. Other than naming orders of dinosaurs, there’s no attempt to explain their evolutionary relationships. (Is this covert design hogwash?) A waste of money & time. Shocking from this developer …

Timeline feature quite impressive. Hi-res Dino images is truly amazing, but I would like to change OST it sounds too cosmic for earth app.

Vito made another eye-catcher. However, it needs to be updated with info on the time periods as well; a size comparison chart with a human next to the animals would be nice, or just silhouetted against the photos of the Dinos. Other than that, Im impressed again with another of Vitos app. Excellent.

Exactly what I dreaming about

A great app, but it would be nice to be able to hide the species accounts to have an unobstucted view of the plate techtonics.

This would be a great app for an iPad but on an iPhone things are too small. I agree it would be nice to turn off the pop up pictures. It also takes up quite a bit of space, 0.3 gigs.

Vito Tech. has done it again. I love everything about this App !!! And, this App makes me love my iPad even more. I cant wait to show Dino Walk to my friends. Keep up the great work.

I dont know how to get two worlds in one iPad.

but the pictures get in the way - they need to be removable from the animation. It would be nice if the timeline were a bit more accurate too.

My 7 year old son loves this app and keeps telling me stuff he has learned from it.

This one would be good in a classroom setting in teaching or for anyone who is curious about life on our planet
