I adore this. Simple, straight-forward, learn about earth's history and test your knowledge with truly effective quiz questions. I love that there are no ads, it's not bloated with unnecessary features or gamification, just pure learning. And I LOVE that the paid version both isn't necessary to fully enjoy the app, and isn't a subscription. I immediately got the paid version and so happy to support the folks that made this!

Thank you Casey for such a review! I am happy you liked it! Also, thank you for supporting the development as in the past 6 months Android version had just 14 in-app purchases which sometimes make me question the value of the app itself as I put quite a lot of time to it 😄

I really wish there were more apps like this... Just a very basic encyclopedia, and a helpful quick reference. This app has saved me from sounding like an idiot many times. Also the quiz is very fun! Personally I thought the grammar was fine by the way... If the information itself is correct, why would someone cry about the way that information is written? Just seems picky to me.

First of all, the creator is savage for his replies. I agree, this is no place for creationists to leave bad reviews. You, dear developer, are really good at taking criticism and making this app. The fact that you added plants as well is also really nice because Paleontology isn't just 'big dinos'. I will be spending my time on this app quite enthusiastically. Best app to learn paleontology, and the test feature is also really helpful.

Thank you Arnav for the review! There will be updates coming at some point again, I am collecting new animal/plant species to add in bulk.

What’s new

The quiz has been rebuilt from the ground up, with more than 1,500 new questions added, a new fossil test introduced, and the option to answer questions by eon.
