Did the dinosaur hunt at Hardwick Park. Map seemed to jump around a lot so hard to find exact location of dinosaurs at times. The dinosaurs were just dark silhouettes, no detail, and often bigger than the size of the phone screen. If you answered a question incorrectly it didn't tell you what the right answer was. Impossible to go back a stage without restarting whole game. Disappointing.

O no Claire it sounds like you've had a shocker. From what you've said it sounds like you were just seeing the shadows of the Dinosaurs as they should be fairly detailed as per the app previews. Sometimes the Dino's appear right on top of where you are standing and so you'll just see the shadows until you take a step backwards.

Nice idea but only found one dinosaur. We went looking for dinosaurs but I spent a lot of time messing with the app. We managed to get two photos with the first dinosaur but then whenever we got near another one, the phone would vibrate and a question would come on. I'd answer it and then it would say about the camera opening but then it'd either go back to the map or crash the app. Gave up in the end which was a shame.

O no Rebecca, this doesn't sound like things worked out ok for you. We'd really like to put things right and find out a little more about what might have happened. Please do contact us on info@sprytar.com if you have time.
UPDATE: we think we found and fixed the bug that was causing the same dino to appear. Do let us know if it's fixed for you.

A great idea but our experience of it wasn't great, but OK. We had to wait a very long time for the app to detect the ground and then when opening the camera, the app would then go back to the main menu and I'd have to start the game again, select the dinosaur again and try again. It would take maybe 4 or 5 attempts to work correctly. When it did it was good, we got some cool photos for the kids. The problem maybe the app, it maybe my phone's performance or maybe a patchy 4G network.

Hey Dean, you've done well to get the app to work we think. From the data we see it looks like you're on a Nokia 6.1, is that right? This is a list of phones that Google will let us put the app on https://developers.google.com/ar/devices and there's no Nokia's on there so we think you are a technical wizard! Do email us if you want to swap spells!
