The app is really well done overall. It’s kind of like a “Hitchhiker’s Guide” to dinosaurs. Fry’s narration reminds me of Peter Jones’ as “The Book” in the original “Hitchhiker’s Guide” radio series.

I think the 3D models come off better than most of the current cable TV dinosaur animations. For one thing, they don’t move a lot so there’s less opportunity for them to show flaws in physics, etc.

I’m downloading it now and I’ll make a note to bring our iPad into the old museum tomorrow. You’re welcome to check it out.

I’d pay $15 buck for it…if I had an iPad. :-/

The bunny hands are particularly annoying given that, as you say, the models otherwise look to be rather good (dromaeosaurs aside). If only they’d done just that little bit more homework…
