What’s It About?
Dinosaurs 360 offers beautiful images of dinosaurs in their habitats and panoramic images of each prehistoric era's dinosaurs and landscape. The app has four components: a flash-card-like section identifies dinosaurs by name and picture; a tour of each prehistoric era shows the dinosaurs that lived in that period in their habitats; a quiz tests identification memory; and a puzzle pieces together an image of a dinosaur. The only sound in the app is the noise each dinosaur may have made. Ads appear on the bottom of the screen in this free app.
Is It Any Good?
You won't learn everything there is to know about dinosaurs with the DINOSAURS 360 since there's very little text. As a visual collection, though, it's a great resource. For each dinosaur in the database there are three computer-generated "action" photos showing the dinosaur in its natural habitat, along with dinosaur puzzles, a panorama mode that places all dinosaurs from the same time period together, and a quiz that involves identifying the picture of the correct species.

Did we miss something on diversity?
Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
