    I love the app, as well as other apps made by the same app developers, however one thing that Dino walk doesn't have that Solar walk does is the ability to rotate the globe, if you could do that with Dino walk that would be awesome!!!
  • Great but needs redesign

    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.
  • Good start need tweaks

    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.
  • Needs updates....

    Lethargic. Had to reinstall a couple times. Sound didn't work at first. Stalls a lot. Have to restart the app. Needs updates....

    I like the continental drift aspect, but I'm 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 didn't exist in its present form 400 million years ago). I'm 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.
  • Awesome app 😍😎

    I've 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.
  • Great to show how the Earth has changed over time!

    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 it's 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 it's 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. I'm sure that "Dino Walk" sells more unit, but the company's brand has grown trusted by folks and this product name strains that trust for people who really want dinosaur stuff.

    This is a wonderful app. I was trying to explain to a five year old that humans and Dinosaurs didn't co- exist. Going through the Epochs helped a lot!
