Is It Any Good?
PET MY DINOSAUR is likely to be a short-lived hit among young kids who are obsessed with the extinct creatures. Unfortunately, once you've petted each of the dinosaurs, there's little else to engage you in this app. The images are awful, and many of them look like they were snagged from a '70s horror film, and the backgrounds are too distracting. The information pages are interesting, but it's often difficult to identify the dinosaur from the associated image; there are just better apps for that purpose.

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.
