According to Gizmodo..."Who is it good for ? People who like dinosaurs. People who like interactive encyclopedias. People who like new things. Its an app that lets you play with dinosaurs man, whos not going to like that ?"

Time to start your own dinosaur zoo of fully animated dinosaurs. You can throw fish to swooping Pterodactyls, tease the Euoplocephalus, try not to get your fingers bitten by the Monolophosaurus – and if you roar, they roar back. But beware, if you make them really mad, they might smash the glass and get out!

Each dinosaur comes with information from the latest paleontology discoveries, plenty of fascinating facts, prehistoric maps of where they lived and where they died, and spinning 360-degree clay models while the roaring versions are in full color. Drawing from a history of collaboration with National institutes overseen by the world’s leading paleontologists.

Enjoy playing with your child while they learn from paleontology history and watch their imagination sparkle.

Dinosaurs are alive again... and this time, they’re in your iPad.

Pros and cons of Dinosaur Zoo app for iPhone and iPad

Dinosaur Zoo app good for

Its got everything except that there are only like six dinos. add some more dinos and this really might become no.1 app on the app store. Great use of retina display.
Now theyve added more dinosaurs. This app is really fun and Im glad Dino Pack 1 was free :D
Its a awesome app, just it needs more dinosaurs. They should of made like, 20, or more before they released it just to keep people interested. And I know that they got to spend a lot of time on the dinos but they should of thought about that before they released it with just 6 dinos!
This is our familys favorite app, we have three kids ages 1, 2 and 8 and they all love this app! Its realistic and exciting for the little ones and interesting facts for older kids! Love it!!!
All bugs seem to be fixed now. Make sure you allow in-app purchases to enable the extra Dino packs. This app provides hours of fun for my two toddlers. I would gladly pay to unlock the rest of the Dinos. Very high quality animations. Obviously a lot of work went into this.
I really. Want pack 2 can somebody help me!!!!!! Xl. XL. PACK 2.I NEED YOUR HELP. 2012 april 3 Tuesday. XL

Some bad moments

Cool concept but lack of dinos and limited interaction make this somewhat disappointing. Designers should have prepared more content.
When it works its great but it keeps crashing and I have to re-load. Never have an opportunity to get anything more than the 6 starting dinosaurs because I have to reload the entire app!! Please fix!!!
Always crashing and freezing after only a few uses. Tired of reloading the bloody app over and over again. Nice dinosaur app when it actually works. My nieces love it, but Ill probably delete it if new dinos are not added fast enough and the crashing bug is not fixed.
I really disappointed with this app. It has nothing inside - 6 simple models withpoor animation, few words of description, few facts. There is nothing to learn from this app. Im uninstalling it now
Love this app but it keeps crashing. My 3 year old nephew is obsessed with dinosaurs and this is his favorite app so when he goes to open it and it crashes it is very upsetting for both him and myself. I tried exiting the app and restarting the iPad, I tried redownloading, nothing worked. I paid for this app and now I cant access it, please update ASAP! If it didnt crash I would give it 4 stars because its really cute but it needs more dinosaurs and a wider variety of reactions from the dinosaurs.
My daughters favorite Dino is the Spinosaurus. Its too dark to see it and it has 3 animations which do pretty much nothing. Disappointed.
