Community Insight:
All you do is take a pictures and graphics are terrible. The dinosaurs are too glossy but if the game people are listening im sure youll do better next time. It was a good try.
Im not buying merch so dont use this its a waste of space.
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK AND MAKE A DINO DANA ONE TOO.
Guys….. You all dont have the dvd and also, one problem. Whenever we put the screen towards our T-Rex skull, the rex doesnt show up, but it only happenes sometimes. It gets some stars.
We are not able to show mutilpule dinos at the same time unlike the photos. Please fix this bug.
We have been with Dino Dan Dino trek Dino Dana for 1 year and we havent seen any dinosaurs.
What happened to the game? No one knows, but they will fix it. We hope so.
This app doesnt work.. It turns the video camera on and nothing happens.. You walk around the room waiting for something to pop up on your screen. Bupkis! And theres no instruction of how to use the app.
So if you like it, good for you. But we don't like it. We don't have the book so it's not the games fault, it's not ours either. But it could be better. We mean like can't they start us off with like a Dino to use it something. Once again we're saying if the you like good for you but we don't. We love even tried to use one of our little brothers Dino books and it didn't work. But that's all we have to say about this . It gets 1 star because of everything we explained below. ROAR ON DINO LOVERS.
It is the best game in the whole world.
Doesn't work on our iPad. Keep getting an error when it asked you to calibrate.
This is so dumb we can't find any! >:(.
Worst ..it can't even be called an ap..nothing happens it's a waste and a jip.
We can't even find any dinosaurs we've been searching for an hour now waste of time.
It dosen't show you what the detal show you.
It doesn't work because you might not have the book or the movie to do this. It actually works it just that you don't have the thing to work this app. So it does work instead it doesn't work. So you guys that says it doesn't work, you are wrong.
We have a ipad2 and the current iOS. No t-Rex shows on the screen. Also it says to tap to hear him roar and there is no roaring. Deleting it.
T-Rex won't show up. We also bought $0.99 version and still don't work! We want money back!!!!! What's disapointed app.
Tried it several times. There is no TRex. The other app with a Pterodactyl works fine.
Correction to the previous commenter, it doesn't work. Not because we don't have the book or movie.. It doesn't work because there is only a black screen once you hit the start button. There are no images or sound displayed, you can only hit the menu button to go back to the main screen. Not sure if its a glitch or only compatible with certain IPhones… Hmmm.
It does not do anything at all, very diss appointed.
