## Review summary

Reviews are mixed: some users praise the concept and call the game awesome or the best, and want ongoing development. However, many reports describe stability and content-display problems: black screen on launch, calibration/compatibility issues, and dinos not appearing. A common concern is that the app may rely on external content (a book/movie) to function. Additional complaints cite poor graphics and a lack of user guidance. Overall, strong potential is marred by frequent usability and display issues.

### Pros

- Some reviewers describe the game as awesome or the best game in the world.
- Fans express desire for continued development, including a Dino Dana sequel.
- There is overt enthusiastic engagement from the Dino-loving community (positive tone and fan support).

### Cons

- App often does not work: black screen or nothing happens after start, with general 'doesn’t work' feedback.
- Calibration errors and device compatibility issues block use on some devices (e.g., iPad).
- Dinosaurs frequently do not appear or cannot be found (T-Rex or other dinos missing).
- Some users indicate the app requires a book or movie to function, limiting standalone use.
- Graphics quality is criticized (dinosaurs too glossy or visuals poor) and there is a lack of in-app instructions.
