Glitchy, Great Art... But, Really Glitchy
by Huck's DadNational Graphic is usually AMAZING in everything they do, but I've got to tell you, as much as it pains me... this app needs a LOT of work. Swiping from page to page crashes the program at times. The menu for the videos (which are very, very short, like ten of fifteen seconds short) is in portrait orientation only, but the videos are in landscape, so you have to spin the iPad around again and again. If you play "The Story" on one of the individual dinosaur pages and swipe to another page during the playback, the playback just keeps going and going. You have to pick another option (Dino Stats, Fun Fact or Picture Info) to stop the playback. This little glitch is particularly annoying. There are other minor glitches that make the whole app feel poorly constructed and not very well thought out. I, like most others who have purchased this app, are sitting by with our fingers crossed that a magic patch will come along and bring this C- app up to the A+ status we all think National Geographic should maintain.

by ch6168With sound on the videos, it's perfect! Thank you for the great update--can't wait for my 5 yr old nephew to use this app!
Hilariously awesome reading voice
by Mike BennewitzI can't wait to share this with my son. A very cool interactive book with excellent illustrations. The hilarious over-the-top reading voice in the Dino-Facts just cracks me up. Dinosaurs, Hard-Boiled! Strong work.
