Some Reviews:

*Excellent step by step approach by Jurassienne_Dole
Lots of examples of the basic moves and tactics and some amusing side games involving dinosaurs. Fun for kids and adults alike and plenty of challenges at all levels.

*Dinosaur Chess  by Mls968
This is a great program. The lessons are interesting, and play levels go from easy to difficult. My 4 and 6 year olds are learning the game, and it's helping novice players like my wife and I too. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to introduce their children to chess!

*An excellent app   by Adg6
A wonderful app. Ideal for anyone new to chess. It is even fun for experienced chess players.

*Highly Recommended - by doled 
"This is a fantastic chess teaching game. This game alone makes it worth buying an iPad. My three year old now knows the piece names and basic moves. My six year old is well on her way to playing a full game. Our family has had an iPad since the day the iPad was released and this is one of the best apps we have."

*Great! - by TonySchleizer
"This game has gotten my 5 year old interested in chess. Great tutorials that get progressively harder as skills improve."


* Great for getting started - by Milfordthelargebonedgorilla
"This has been fantastic for my five year old son...using this in addition to a real board and pieces has helped him immensely in understanding each of the pieces, how they move, their strengths and weaknesses...a terrific way to introduce young ones to the game without overwhelming them"


* Great learning tool - by Triplescoop 
"I have an adopted 7 year old boy with fetal alcohol syndrome. It is very hard for him to learn to play games. Checkers was very hard for him to learn. I thought that chess would be something that he would have to wait to learn. I bought this app even though there were no reviews. So glad I did! What a great teaching tool! I love the mini games that teach the directions that each piece can move. We play slowly but my son can play chess! I recommend this for anyone who wants to learn the basics of the game. This app is for beginners. Great for kids! Thank you to the developers of this app!"


*Super! - by Chess player
"Hats off to the developers. A fun program for kids."


*Ideal For kids - by Kingkot 
"This game is ideal to teach the kids in the chess."

## Dinosaur Chess Reviews in United States

### *---- "No audio..:("
It’s been more than 10 years and still issues with the audio !! Wow.. tried all their recommendations to fix the audio but no luck.. the last step says email the developer.. who is the developer.. it would be nice if an email id is also mentioned. Would rate negative stars.. but that’s not an option !!
-- No Audio since 10 years, 2025-06-05

### *---- "No audio"
Audio stop working a while ago
-- cojueloDevil, 2025-04-12

### *---- "Sound does not work!!"
Sound works on all other aps, but not on this app.
-- thankyou7, 2023-11-16

### ***** "."
literally my whole childhood
-- Young_Kane😈, 2021-05-18

### *---- "Bad bad bad"
I did not learn anything 
Rely glitchy and no sound
-- M from Manhattan, 2020-06-02

### *---- "Zero stars — it doesn’t work"
The sound doesn’t work in iPhone
This is a rip off
-- #1 David Hasselhoff Fan, 2019-07-10

### ***** "Great for learning"
I always wanted to play chess when I was younger, but thanks to this app I learned to play it! I teaches you very well and I love it! I totally recommend this app.
-- Mr. Cat lover, 2019-04-29

### *---- "Dinosaur Chess"
Great engine but the app is driven by instructions given by a dinosaur - unfortunately the sound never works - at least on my iPhone 6 - it did not work in the earlier version and does not work on this version either.
-- Chess NYC, 2016-09-10

### *---- "no audio Worthless"
Save your money. The Audio does not work. I did not read the reviews and bought it.  Waste of time, money and memory
-- dcven, 2016-08-18

### *---- "Seriously? No volume!"
For an app that charges 5 bucks, it's incredibly disappointing that the sound is broken. This is an app for teaching chess to kids, ad supposedly it's great at that, but we wouldn't know because there's no audio. Deleting immediately.
-- Jellybean121212, 2016-07-08

### *---- "Crashing"
The game crashes every time towards the end of a game.
-- Mfk 01, 2016-06-11

### **--- "Sound issue"
Huge bogus sound issues. Does not work well right away. Sound issue is major.
-- Kidwantedchess, 2016-05-08

### *---- "Audio is not working"
It looks like a fun app and a good lesson plan to learn how to play chess. The audio is not working on my iPhone that is why I have to give it this rating.
-- MommaRebo, 2016-02-07

### *---- "No audio, busted app, impossible for a child to learn basics without audio"
Very annoyed. There's no audio. Rebooting and downloading again does not help. No app support. A child cannot learn the basics without the audio. This should be removed from the App Store.
-- WhiskyGirl, 2016-01-25

### ***-- "Glitches in game play"
Trying to teach myself to play.  It's a great concept but there are glitches; occasionally a piece disappears for no reason and I just ran into one situation that changed a pawn into a knight randomly.  For the developers, I've experienced these issues in the level 3 play. Not sure if it continues in other levels.
-- Jgarland707, 2015-11-30

### ***** "Dinosaur chess"
I think Dinosaur chess is a great game because you can learn from it also because it has games  if your child loves dinosaurs they will love this game I guarantee.if your child doesn't know how to play chess they teach you how!! (Here's what you do )first they teach you how much each peace is worth how it moves and then you play a game with that piece.they also teach you some tactics then each time you win against a dinosaur your dinosaur gets bigger you can fight against new dinosaurs with your powers
-- QueenKW, 2015-10-06

### *---- "Sept 2015 - no audio"
Audio not working on iPad. Will be disputing this charge.
-- StarcraftDad, 2015-09-06

### *---- "Audio is broken"
This needs to be fixed to get more stars.
-- GeoffyC, 2015-01-28

### ****- "Great app. Fix the crashing!"
My five year old son loves this app, and has learned a ton about chess from it. But it crashes way too much, which can be very frustrating in the middle of a game! Please fix this!
-- diegoprof, 2014-10-24

### **--- "Audio still broken, otherwise ok"
I am very disappointed that the audio on the app has not been fixed. When I bought I read reviews from April mentioning audio problems. I foolishly assumed they would be fixed. Six months later the audio is still not working- at least for the iPad. 

It is a shame because otherwise this would be a good app for young kids interested in chess. Unless your child is a very proficient reader, this is not the app for you. Even then the explanations require a functioning audio in order to be understood. 

Sadly, I recommend avoiding this app until the audio is fixed.
