Dino Walk - Your World History App Reviews

Fun way for kids and adults to learn something.

Dino Walk is great if you want to scrape the surface when it comes to dinosaur knowledge. Im very impressed with how this app works: youre shown a globe and can browse through eras and see the geographic changes as well as which animals evolved when. This said, Dino Walk is lacking lots of information. I tried searching its index for several varieties of dinosaur, to no avail (Basilosaurus, Megalodon, Estemmenosuchus, etc.) A feature I really want to see implemented is an option to mark species/locations as "favorites." I was surprised this wasnt already part of the app. Also, theres no option to view the genus and Latin name. Add these changes, and Ill be be very happy.

This could have been such a fantastic app, and I am really quite disappointed that it didnt live up to its potential. The premise is very cool, and he graphics are amazing. In fact, the graphics are the only reason I gave 2 stars. I could have dealt with there being fewer animals than anticipated, or the frustration of not being able to click on some of the animals. But I cant get past the fact that the descriptions are sadly lacking and even sometimes embarrassing to read (i.e. instead of giving actual measurements it says, "47ft (example) long and some pounds." Some pounds? I didnt know some was an official measurement).The first time I read such a description I winced but figured it was a one time oversight. Unfortunately that was quickly proven untrue, and also not the only mistake made several times throughout the descriptions I read. I started at the beginning of time, and made it through only 3 periods before I had to delete the app. And I made it through those time periods and animals in only 10 minutes, which shows the amount of detail offered in the app. All in all, a disappointing end to an exciting download that I thought would fulfill my desire for a fun, informative app that will hold the interest of my kids. And so the search continues!

This is a wonderful app. I was trying to explain to a five year old that humans and Dinosaurs didnt co- exist. Going through the Epochs helped a lot!

This app is precisely what I was looking for to show my daughter how the Earth has geologically changed over time. In fact, the only reason its not five stars is that it uses the scientifically obsolete concept of "continental drift" (rather than plate tectonics) as part of the title. Three other notes: - When photos are on, the automatic scaling makes it difficult to see the land. Consider turning off the genie effect. - A feature I would love is the ability to put a pin on a piece of land (e.g. our home) in one time period and track its motion across time. - I understand the frustration of other reviewers who expected more dinosaur stuff. This app is great for what I wanted, but not so much for them. Consider renaming it "Earth Walk" or "Geo Walk" or something like that. Im sure that "Dino Walk" sells more unit, but the companys brand has grown trusted by folks and this product name strains that trust for people who really want dinosaur stuff.

This app was good but ever since the newest (I think) update, it kept crashing. Ill put three stars cuz this was a good app.
