It's Tyrannosaurus Rex App Reviews

My son has read this book about 10 times already. The graphics are beautifully done. If he likes it, so do I.

My 5 year old loves this app. Excellent!! Read to me or even allows the child to flip the pages reader or I can read the story to him at our leisure. I only wish they had more Smithsonian topics to buy. ie Flight or Natural History This is amazing.

I am going to have t-Rex as a pet I,ll give him food he eats panda,s dinosaurs and dragons,

Enough said.

My grandkids were fascinated.

My son loves this book. He cant read so the read to me option is great.

Just love the book

My 4 year old loves this app!

Fantastic dinosaur story. Soundprints and OM are a great team. I love their books and now love their apps. Perfect for little dinosaur fans and grown ups alike. I cant wait to see what they do next!

My son loves this app and cant get enough of it!

Nothing like Morris Lessmores book. In fact, this book is completely static, its highlights only include sound effects and changing of zoom level!

Most apps only last a few minutes with my daughter, but this one kept her engaged for hours. She kept listening to it again and again, to the point where my wife and I had it memorized. I thought the book might be too hard for a 4 year old, but because the app read to her, it was no problem at all. I think t Rex is her new favorite word.

This is a great app. My 2 year old loves it!

My son loves dinosaurs and this app was perfect for him

My 6 year old son loves it...and so do I!!!!!!

This is well done. The story is engaging and the pictures are wonderful. I just wish it had a bit more for the price. Maybe an update with another story? Or an add on with more of an interactive nature?

My autistic sons area of interest is dinosaurs, and hes learning to read. He only likes non-fiction and only books with realistic pictures. I have a hard time finding realistic Dino books with narrative flow. This app is perfect! We want more just like this!!! Love that when you tap pics, the narrator gives accurate Dino names, too!

First of all, the mispronunciation of Ankylosaurus is annoying. This is a book about dinosaurs - at least get their names correct. My four year old was exasperated and said, "Why does he keep saying ankylosaurus wrong?" It would also benefit from additional detail at the end. The "About Tyrannosaurus Rex" section is pretty weak and has little real information. That said, son did enjoy the story.

With this being by the Smithsonian, I expected more. A few of the page transitions were only close-ups of the previous page. Its digital, but there arent any animations. No dinosaurs running or fighting, no birds flying or trees swaying. We should be able to touch the T-Rex and make his mouth open & close, at least. This app should cost between Free - $.99. I shouldve downloaded Jurassic Park or Dinosaur Train. Dont say I didnt warn you! Purchase at your own risk!

My two year old son thinks it is great. You can touch the dinosaurs and the app will say the name. It is a book. The words are written on the screen, and when you touch each word, the app says the word for you, making it a good aid to in learning to read. On each new page, the app reads the next part of the story aloud. It was a bit juvenile for my 12 year old daughter, who wants to be a paleontologist. She has a vast knowledge base of dinosaurs, and believes the app to be somewhat elementary for her. She thinks the app should end with Barney the dinosaur singing "I Love You, You Love Me." It is, however a good early tool.
