Its Tyrannosaurus Rex App Reviews

My 5 yr old nephew is going to love this app--the T-Rex is his favorite dinosaur. Don't hesitate to buy if you know a dinosaur lover. As usual, Smithsonian does a great job.

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 can't wait to see what they do next!

My son loves this app and can't get enough of it!

Great book. My son absolutely lived it!

And the guy says tynrranasaurus Rex sooo many time. And the artwork isn't really that good. Really like the dr Seuss books. This one not so much.

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

Just love the book

My 7 year old loved it but we were both surprised at how brief it was.

Another awesome interactive book from OM. My 3-year-old son loves this book - I enjoy it, too. Great narration and captivating story.

This app is a must have! My husband drove for 8 hours and I run out of things to do to entertain my toddler. I was lucky to find this app and immediately got. It helped us to finalize a successful and long road trip!

For the price it's a good multimedia book experience. No animation--just pan and zoom--but good illustrations and narrative without being over sensational. My 2.5 year old loves it and isn't scared which is a good sign.

My grandkids were fascinated.

Decent but left wanting for price - no animation, few pages, solely focused on t-rex. Son finished in like 5 min.

The graphics are wonderful but the length of the book was too short. My kids were like, is that it?

With this being by the Smithsonian, I expected more. A few of the page transitions were only close-ups of the previous page. It's digital, but there aren't 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 should've downloaded Jurassic Park or Dinosaur Train. Don't say I didn't warn you! Purchase at your own risk!

my 3 yr old loves it!!!!!!

Good app! about Dino. But It lacks the big Alasourus

My 4 yr old & I were both caught up in the drama. He's watched it 3 times already. Lol. Fun & Educational.

My grandson just loves dinosaurs, and this story idea is fantastic! Great read to me or read on his own app. Since he is prekindergarten, we really like the read to me feature.

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.

My son loves dinosaurs and this app was perfect for him

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.

Nothing like Morris Lessmore's book. In fact, this book is completely static, it's highlights only include sound effects and changing of zoom level!

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

Buy it if you have a dinosaur lover!!!

My 4 year old loves this app!

We love the smithsonite books. Well written, informative, and entertaining. Thanks for making them available via iPad!

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

Enough said.

My son loved it!

My son was not overly impressed.

Download and have fun!!!

The music and sound effects really bring this story to life. My 9 year old pretended that he was too cool to enjoy it, but I caught him reading the story over and over! Well done

My autistic son's area of interest is dinosaurs, and he's 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!

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?

He loves it!!

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.

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.

My son loves this book. He can't read so the read to me option is great.

And this isnt one my son (4yrs) favorites. He really likes to poke around and see the different words for the objects on the screen. There very few selectable object compared to other of there books lines and it doesn't say the words for the few object anyways. It pretty book, just not on par with the Dr Seuss or Little Critter books.
