Are you and your children fascinated with dinosaurs and how they ran the earth thousands of years ago? If the answer is yes, then you can now go to their world and watch how they lived, how they fed, and how they interacted with each other.
I’m not talking about time travel and going back to the past. I’m talking about Ultimate Dinopedia, a new National Geographic iPad app for kids.
Ultimate Dinopedia is the first released children’s application from National Geographic that is intended for kids, but of course it will also work perfectly for adults.
This iPad app for kids offers the most complete and detailed information about dinosaurs. This is also the most comprehensive among all other dinosaur applications.
Ultimate Dinopedia is a book-based and stand-alone children’s application for iPad created with the collaboration of National Geographic Kids and ScrollMotion, which is famous for creating mobile apps.
This iPad app for kids includes names of 700 dinosaurs with pronunciations to guide your children since their names are not easy to read. The dinosaurs in the app are also presented in a stunning way, making them look so real.
The National Geographic application does not only include narration about the dinosaurs: it also includes videos on now the prehistoric giants interact with each other.
The video also illustrates how other carnivorous evolved. This app is a sure hit for kids since it also includes audio pronunciation and attention-grabbing narration.
Aaron Kohn, vice president of Corporate Strategy and Development and general manager of Mobile, National Geographic Global Media was quoted saying, The iPad allows us to present fascinating topics like dinosaurs to young readers in a whole new way – we can engage them with sound, video, art and creative navigation.
Ultimate Dinopedia features:
- Beautifully illustrated profiles of more than 700 dinosaurs, with fact boxes, fun facts, size comparisons and the latest discoveries.
- Interactive narration, along with audio pronunciation and vital stats.
- Bonus videos for select dinosaurs, a visual table of contents and an interactive family tree that lets users jump to their favorite family of dinosaurs.
You can purchase and download Ultimate Dinopedia iPad app for kids from iTunes for a reasonable price of $5.99. It’s available worldwide under the Books section.
