Description
Designed to please dinosaur fans of all ages, DinoMixer lets you mix and match dinosaur heads, bodies and tails to make your own crazy mixed-up dinosaurs!



DinoMixer 1.8 features detailed, colorful images of 14 different dinosaurs:



Allosaurus

Apatosaurus

Coelophysis

Edmontosaurus

Gallimimus

Pachycephalosaurus

Parasaurolophus

Spinosaurus

Stegosaurus

Triceratops

Troodon

Tyrannosaurus

Euoplocephalus (New!)



Swipe up an down to spin through the dinosaur heads, bodies and tails. Mixed and matched, there are thousands of crazy combinations!



Match all three parts of the same dinosaur and the dinosaur name pops up.



Click the arrow and you get 3 pages of information about each dinosaur, how big they were, how long ago they lived, where the dinosaur's fossils were found and background information on what makes the dinosaur interesting and different, along with fossil location maps and size comparison images!



It's like having a dinosaur book right in the app!



DinoMixer includes 5 interchangeable backgrounds:

"Forest Edge"

"Fallen Logs"

"Canyon Cliffs"

"Cypress Swamp"

"Redwood Forest"

plus a blank background for those who like their dinosaurs served up plain!



DinoMixer also includes 5 changeable foregrounds, that can be moved independently of the backgrounds!



Swipe sideways across the top of the image to choose a background. Swipe sideways across the bottom to choose a foreground. Swipe across the middle to change both at once.



Make the coolest, or funniest, combinations you can; or mix them up with a shake see how fast you can match them back up; all to sounds of the prehistoric jungle.



Future free updates will include new foreground and background combinations, new dinosaurs, and other added features.

Version 1.1
Every time I show this to one of my friend's kids, they want it! The dinosaurs look amazing, and the combinations are either cool looking or wonderfully silly.

I love the fact that they are continuing to add new dinosaurs and backgrounds. I'm looking forward to seeing what the next additions are; plus it makes the whole app feel new.

The feature that lets you swipe sideways to choose your background is great, and the backgrounds look amazing.

The naming feature that pops up the dinosaur name when you match them up is a plus, (the kids know them, of course, but it's like a reward when they match them up.)

Lots of adults I've shown it to have been impressed too, and it's a pretty cool addition to the fun "look what my iPod can do" stuff I have.
Stunning

Version 1.3
This is hands down one of the most educational and fun applications I have seen in the app store. It gets a 5 star rating for it's simplictiyy to use and I can already see how much kids would love thus app and also learn a lot from it. One suggestion would be to maybe mix it up a bit more in the dinosaurs assembling to make it a bit more challenging but other than that it's perfect. Great app by a great developer. Good Job Charley. :) -ipodappsworld

Version 1.6
Don't be fooled by the rave reviews. While the graphics are great and the changeable backgrounds are cool, this app bored my dino loving kids pretty quickly. Once you make a dinosaur or two there's not much else to do. There are a couple of ways that this app could be better. First you might be able to put the dino in motion once you make him. Add some sound and have your mixed up dinosaur run or something. Or second you could save the dino you created and then have a large page where you could put each dino on the scenery. (These saved dinos would obviously have to be smaller to have a couple dinos on a scene together.) Maybe be able to have two or three of your creations able to be on the page and then be able to add some trees or other scenery to the background. Overall the graphics are great but this app lacks the extra cool factor. I would not purchase it again. There are other dinosaur apps like iAllosaur that at last add sound and motion so it doesn't get boring.
Nearly perfect

Simple to play with. The kids love it. They even fight over who gets their turn on my iPhone next. Loving the many updates! Especially like the new encyclopedia style info! Thanks for the great work!

Version 1.7
Mixing the dinosaurs and the backgrounds is easy for kids (adults, too!). The latest update, adding the pages of dinosaur information, improved the overall app immensely. This app will just get better every time a dinosaur is added.
Not just for boys

I saw this under the app for boys category but my girls like it. Fun to scroll through and quick descriptions are good for me to help answer the constant questions. Like it.
Great Dino App

My three year old loves this. She can mix and match the heads, bodies, and tails and then likes to hear me read about the dinosaurs when she makes a match.
Love it
