Dino Walk: Continental Drift

Purchased this on the strength of those excellent space apps. It is basically about pre historic life forms, but also contains somewhat mixed information about present day life. Rather odd, but I like it.

This could have been such a fantastic app, and I am really quite disappointed that it didn't live up to it's 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 can't 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 didn't 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!
