DinoSpace: Dinosaurs & Space

Karthikeya Arikirevula

About this app

🦕 Fifty prehistoric creatures. 🪐 Fifty wonders of space. One pocket encyclopedia that works with the wi-fi off.

DinoSpace is a dinosaur and space encyclopedia for curious kids — the kind you fall into for an hour and come out knowing why Mars is red and how hard a T. rex could actually bite. No ads. No accounts. No data collected. Ever.

📖 100 HAND-WRITTEN ENTRIES

Fifty prehistoric creatures and fifty space objects, each one written and fact-checked by hand. Every entry has how to say the name, a painted illustration, and real numbers — length, weight, bite force, speed, distance, orbit — then how it lived, where it sits in the sky, and fun facts kids read out loud to the whole car.

🔭 SCAN THE REAL SKY

Hold the phone up and DinoSpace labels what is genuinely above you: planets, constellations, named stars. Tonight's report draws the moon at its true phase and shows what's worth a look with binoculars, when the next meteor shower arrives, and sunrise and sunset where you are. The astronomy is computed on the phone and accurate to hundredths of a degree, so it works in a tent in the middle of nowhere.

🤖 ASK NOVA ANYTHING

Nova is a dinosaur-and-space buddy who answers right on the device. How big was a Brachiosaurus? Why does the moon change shape? Ask for a joke or a bedtime story. Nothing typed to Nova ever leaves the phone, so it works on planes and long drives.

⚔️ SETTLE THE BIG ARGUMENT

Pick two creatures — or one you drew yourself — and see who comes out on top, worked out from real size, weight, bite force and speed, with an honest stat-by-stat breakdown.

✏️ DRAW YOUR OWN

A full drawing studio: brushes, fill bucket, colour mixer, undo. Name your creature, give it stats and facts, and it becomes a real encyclopedia entry that can fight in the arena.

🧠 QUIZ YOURSELF

Dinosaurs, space, or a mix of both. Five questions or a hundred. Every answer comes with an explanation, so a wrong guess still teaches something.

⭐ COLLECT AND KEEP

Star your favourites, browse ranked lists like Biggest Creatures Ever and Farthest From Earth, or build a list of your own.

What’s new

Tablets: the encyclopedia and the creature pickers in dino battle were coming up empty on bigger screens. Every list loads properly now.
Ask Nova: the blank gap above Nova's first message after the full brain finished installing is gone, so the chat sits flush under the header.
Scan Sky now shows a safety reminder before the camera starts, and keeps it on screen while you scan.
