The pangaea app dynamically shows the breakup of the supercontinent Pangaea and the positions of the continents over the last 200 million years on a 3D globe. Significant events are indicated on the globe at the time of the event (millions of years ago). Tapping an event provides information about that event, certain events have an illustration with additional information.
Latitude and longitude (of the center of the display), time in Ma (millions of years ago), and geologic time period and epoch are continuously displayed. Drag the slider to move through time. Tap the arrow buttons at the ends of the slider to move one step at a time. Tap the background of the slider to jump to a time. Drag the globe left and right or up and down to rotate it. Pinch the globe to enlarge it.
Illustrated by Dennis Tasa. The modern shapes of the continents are retained throughout time to help identify them.

Is pangaea legit?
🤔 The pangaea app's quality is mixed. Some users are satisfied, while others report issues. Consider reading individual reviews for more context.
I really enjoyed using all of the Tass Graphics apps until now. Most have been dropped and this one doesn’t work with the recent IOS. It can be downloaded but there is no map or effects. The comments post but the screen is blank. The company has disappeared. Don’t bother with it unless you have an old IOS.
DOESNT WORK
I've been conned out of a dollar! Apple.com, this app doesn't work!
Needs update
I can’t contact the developer but his app needs to be updated right now, it is totally broke.
Not working
I bought this app and used it twice. I tried to use it again under iOS 15 and it just keeps on reporting webContent error:could not initialize shades. Don’t know what to do with that.
It’s nice
I really like it but the only problem is it keeps crashing
Great app for Plate Tectonics!
I love this app! I have it loaded on my class iPods for Earth Science. The students love being able to pull apart and ram the continents together. It really helps them see Continental Drift.
Exceptionally good
Great app except the shape when at the full Pangea stage is inaccurate. Like europe and Canada barely change at all and also the continents have their traditional shapes the whole way through
Rip off
This is lame. Half of the graphics are wrong, like when South America and Antarctica were supposed to be CONNECTED, not split apart
Waste of money
I should of bought a dollar burger. Word of advice don't waste your money on this app.
India, hit that hard
This is reasonable priced but it could be more informative even if it brings related pages from wikipedia.
How about play button?
