My go-to game
I’ve been playing JWA almost since it came out and I don’t know why it’s taken over two years to write a review. I play this game daily, have never had any major complaints. I love collecting dinos and getting all the DNA. I’m a super casual player and have found a casual alliance but there are some super serious players out there as well if that’s more your style. I sometimes spend money but it’s definitely not needed if you’re a casual player. I’m working from home so my hunting range has been reduced significantly so I guess with that my one complaint would be that the gym battles (v the AI) don’t provide a wide enough variety within certain spaces. I had 5 gyms within my hunting circle the other day and four them were the same. The levels suggested for those gyms really only focus on lower levels or super high levels, there’s not enough middle to high level gyms (16-20, 21-25). I also ran out of achievements within the first year or so and a larger range of achievements haven’t been added for us long term players. But overall it’s a solid game. Updates come out regularly so it doesn’t feel stagnant. Always new dinos to be on the look out for and to collect. It’s so satisfying to be working toward creating a new creature for months and finally getting that last bit of DNA needed. They art work is amazing and it really is a giant community if you want it to be. 10/10 would recommend

Son Loves This Game: Huge BUT and BEWARE
For the concept and dino collecting and graphics this game would get 5 stars. BUT and these are big ones, like other reviews mention, the game has some bugs and major glitches. This in regards to unmatched level battles against other players, rigged matches where you lose when you should win, and freezing or the game playing for you when it shouldn’t and you end up losing. Also the points and bonuses in the game that we should have received we weren’t getting, the numbers on the screen didn’t match or allocate to what we should have received. Now for the BEWARE. I have had to restart this game from scratch for my son twice already, once because of the above issues being so bad, that it was unplayable and so unenjoyable. The second time it was a bit better with the aforementioned, however one day when he got on, his whole collection of Dino’s (which was better then the first) and other items were wiped clean, he had nothing left. He was so upset and cried so hard, it broke my heart to pieces and I refused to let him continue playing. That was maybe 2 months ago, and because he is in absolute love with dinos, yet again he wants me to re-download it for the 3rd time. Hopefully someone who can really fix these issues sees this and looks into it. It’s sad and unfair that people waste good time and money to only end up sobbing in something they truly enjoy with all their heart.

Very obsessing and good game but needs more features and bug fixes
JW alive has a been a favorite of mine even before it came out (I pre-registered). And it has served me well. There are very annoying bugs going around the game, and recommend those should be fixed. Like if I accidentally exit the app, it can restart the whole game, make this magenta colored screen, or basically kick me out of the battle I’m in and take control of my team with AI saying “Catching up to present”. Also, Ludia, I think the game can have a few more features like: alliance peace treaty’s/alliance friends and alliance wars/conflicts, and betting like for cash, coin or DNA in battles and stuff like that. Also, the AI I face in campaign and just normal battles, get like 75% critical chance for them (while it says they still have 5%), while I still have 5%, they also know what your going for so they can perfectly counter the attack. But, anyways, Ludia has done such a good job with COVID-19 situation, there adding giga scents, which attract a variety of different dinosaurs, and have increased the drone meter for normal and VIP. Speaking of VIP, VIP should be lowered to $5 a month instead of $10 a month just because of its abilities and features. And Ludia, some back round info, I honestly got this game noticed by me from TheGamingBeaver, so when you get the time, give him some JW the game and JW alive bucks (also say it was from me). Thank Ludia! (If you even read this).

Love the game and the added raids!
I rarely review games because they are so costly. Not to mention the time it takes to refresh or start another section of the game. Jurassic World Live however can be played completely free. I admit I have put money into this game to level faster but it’s definitely not required. You can easily play this game for hours everyday and I love the pvp and raids. The map of the area you are in is really awesome as well. You obtain dino dna from literally your own backyard. You can walk or drive to obtain even more if you are so inclined but there is plenty in your own home area. Combining the dna to make stronger super dinos can be very slow at times but what fun would it be if you didn’t have to work for the “Unique” and “Apex” creatures. And to obtain the Apex creatures it does take the coordination of your alliance but that really turns into a lot of fun. There is limited chat capability and I’m sure that is to keep everyone safe but that can be a little frustrating at times. Especially when you are coordinating a raid with your alliance but Discord pretty much solves that issue. I’ve met a lot of great people. I highly recommend this game. It’s quite ingenious and they are constantly giving us new updates. (Developers please stop changing the dinos “powers” around, it’s frustrating when we work so hard on a creature and then it’s worthless at the next update). Thank you for making such an amazing game!!!!!

Awesome Game!
Thank you so much for making this game! I love playing it and it’s so fun! I could not recommend it more! Very well done graphics and the sounds that the dinosaurs make are SO realistic. Plus, it’s free so I didn’t have to pay for it! Major acknowledgement to the people who made it! I started playing this game because I love dinosaurs and this looked pretty cool. So I downloaded it. And now I’m so glad I did! I’ve been playing it for a while now and I think it’s the best game I’ve ever played. I kind of like Pokémon Go and this is kind of like it...but WAY better I’m so happy I got the game. I’ve never seen a game as cool as this one. Thank you very much for making this game so much fun! I think the best part is that it has new stuff and always creates more. Some games I’ve played before aren’t that fun because it’s the same thing. Like only one basic idea, but this one has so many different features that all go along very well with the point of the game. There’s battling, collecting dinosaurs, evolving them into huge strong dinosaurs, and SO many dinosaurs. I never get bored because just when I think I’ve collected all the species, a new amazing one comes around and then once I get that one a new one comes along. Besides that you can join groups made up of other players and there’s nest strikes were you can battle Dino’s for super amazing stuff! I think it’s just amazing and nothing less.

My review:
If you are a dinosaur lover, you will think it’s a dream come true, I think this is one of the best dinosaur games ever created! And you’ll love this game! What are you freaking waiting for? PRESS DOWNLOAD! Well, this is my new entry. The game is really cool and I’ve read some critical reviews, but most of them are about the the unrealistic details and updates fixing nothing, I do agree that there is lots of things to control. But it being unrealistic is not just because they want you to pay money for a stegosaurs betting the legendary indo rex, it’s just the point of the game! To get stronger! Most of the updates add new stuff into the game. Developer’s if your reading this maybe look at other reviews to see any bugs you can fix, including this: I’m on mobile iPad. And it’s kinda old... but sometimes (now just started) the game lags a TON. It started out of nowhere, it lags when the other player (PVP battles) makes a move, then lags when when it’s your turn, do you cant press anything while it loads! Then un lags when ur turn is over! I’ve lost many times because of this, after a hour or so 30 minutes maybe, it stopped, still lagged a bit, out of the battles and in, but then the game choose my own moves for battling! Instantly! Like it was one of those bots on battle things on the map. Please look into this so I know if it’s my device or not. Thanks!

More Addicting Than Pokemon Go!
I’ve been in love with dinosaurs since i was just a little child. Ive watched every Jurassic Park movie over and over again and that just really kindled my love for dinosaurs. This game is not only addicting but its actually full of things to do. This game has great mechanics for the dino battling system that actually makes you really think how you will make your team. It isnt just go for the strongest because there are others things to consider like their shield, speed and critical hit chance that can make this game very diverse in the battling section. In the roaming section, this game masters. You have a drone this time (in game) that you use to shoot darts and dinos you find in the world to make that dinosaur. You can level them up to increase their health and damage as well as combining certain dinos together to make hybrids which is not a chance you get that often might i add. This game makes you feel so rewarded for getting epic and rare dinosaurs in your world its just so addicting. Finally, the incubator and cash system. People may think having micro-transactions in this would make it easy to level up and do better. Maybe, but i never felt like i needed to do it because the game gives you cash by doing challenges and finding supply drops around the world which are so easy to find. So, overall, this game is awesomely balanced and just a very big treat for dinosaur fans.

I LOVE THIS GAME!!! But there are bugs.
I love jw alive so much but there are a few problems. When I first played the game on my old tablet it worked great! But recently I got a new tablet I was put as a kid and I am but where I got the game again it won’t let me in the game. But I also think that there should be an increase in common - rare dinos in the area your drone can reach. I also this you should add a battery or something to the store so one day you can place it some where and you can fly your drone over there so you can catch more dinos. I also think you should add people being attacked by Dino’s so you can fight the Dino and possibly get a raptor or what ever Dino was attacking the person. And I know that some people think that this is a rip off of Pokémon but it’s NOT. There may be raids and stuff but that’s it. But I would like the game even more if you added more Dino’s to the game. I also think to be able to get indonimus or indoraptor dna you should have to go on a quest like for indonimus you have to kill the mosasaras and cut off another bone from indonimus’ body to get his/her dna. Or for the indoraptor you have to battle a few strong Dino’s and then you get the dna. I also think that Dinos should more around to and from you randomly so you have a chance at catching a just out of reach Dino. Ps I really give the game 4 and a half stars.

Not A Pokémon Go Ripoff
I went into this game with low expectations as I expected it to be a knockoff version of Pokémon Go, but wow was I wrong! This game is incredibly fun, and (Niantic, listen up!) fixes a LOT of what’s wrong/frustrating with PoGo. What’s most frustrating about PoGo for me is the lack of pokestops/gyms to interact with, even though I live in the suburbs of a major capital city in the US. After I moved out of Manhattan, it stopped being fun. But with JWA, there’s so much to interact with! There are LOTS of supply drops (essentially a DinoStop) dotted all over residential neighborhoods, unlike PoGo. You also don’t have to be RIGHT NEXT to a Dino to catch it, although the closer you are the better your chances. You can also look around the map and see Dino’s in the distance you want to go after so you know where to go! There’s also a crazy fun battle feature, log in bonuses, and a good amount of proximity spawns/events that make me want to keep logging in and playing. There’s also no speedlock, so if you’re a passenger on a road trip, or even commuting to work on a bus/train, you can still play which is fantastic! The only thing I wish was different: I want to be able to nickname my dinosaurs!! I hope that comes in a later update. Otherwise, keep going, game developers! You did a fantastic job and brought the joy back to a style of game that’s been long missing from Pokémon Go.

A few errors but otherwise a awesome game
I love love love this game. I’ve been obsessed with dinosaurs since I was a child. But, with this game there are a few errors that really bother me. For example, ever since the Pterosaurs update- the damage estimate in battle is inaccurate! If a dinosaur has armor, I’ll use the estimator and it will say with that attack I will kill a dinosaur, so I use it, but then for some reason it didn’t take in the armor stat and it doesn’t kill the opponent. Also, it will say that I WONT kill something, but I use the attack and it does (even without being a critical strike!). Also— right now this is happening. Dinosaurs spawn directly under a gym and I can’t get my dinosaur, I really need a velociraptor right now but I can’t get it because when I try to tap it it pulls up the gym and not the dinosaur. I also wish there was something like a drone boost for dinosaurs just out of reach, or we could purchase certain dinosaurs DNA because I have everything necessary to create a dinosaur but I need more kaprosuchus DNA and there are no kaprosuchus spawning anywhere ever! I know they are nocurnal spawn but even then they still never spawn. Also please give more coins because when evolving it is so expensive! To level my allosaurus it cost 30k! One more thing, why did you raise the price on epic scent? Used to be 500 dollars and now it’s 1000. Please Ludia read this :-D

I like the game but…
So I love this game I have been playing it for 3 days now and I like it but there is only 9 things I do not like about it so number 1 is that WE need multiplayer boss battles like on Pokémon go there is so we need it on this game number 2 is that we need gen 3s I don’t care if there real just ADD them and number 3 is that we need events every single day that is close to a holiday because like on Roblox on Kaiju universe there is so we need it on here I think that’s why there are like not that much haif of the world is on here now number 4 is that we need more dinosaurs to be in this game because this game is starting to get boring because we need new dinosaurs and event ones like every game needs that and number 5 is that the creator needs to make toys for this game now number 6 is that we need water dinosaurs like we only have land ones like we need water ones like the mosasarus now number 7 is that we need more realistic because like we need realistic dinosaurs because it is very good to tell there just adamatid now number 8 is that like when there is water we need blue places like I look I see water and there no blue spots now the last number number 9 and for the last one we need to have evolve things like the indomice Rex needs to evolve into a indomice Rex that is red and white.

great but...
Jurassic world alive is a game i've been playing for years with a couple breaks here and there but enough to stay consistent and unlock new creatures but lately it feels like there's no point to unlocking creatures unless 1- it's overpowered and sweeps the meta or 2- it's so unreasonable in terms of reaching said creature needing dna from the hardest to find and dart creatures and making such a high unlock requirement. It's not a bad game just needs help especially when it comes to micro transactions....i think it's fine for games to sell things in their game but when your 100 dollar pack has a new creature that is obviously the best during whatever update the game gets then it starts to become a little greedy considering all you can get sometimes is DNA from that much money, i feel if i'm going to go all out and pay 100 it should at least give dna and money since you run out so fast. Of course there's new ways to get money or get dna, maybe even get bucks but it's clear for now their focus is on whales spending on their game but this review should not discourage you. If you love dinosaurs, the occasional walk, and pretty graphics then i still recommend it all glitches and micro transactions problems aside. This game deserves the 4/5 stars for sure, great game just flawed in some ways as most games are.

As much as I enjoy this game,
I have a couple of issues. The biggest one for me is the PvP battles. The game says hat when choosing your opponent, it is based off of your trophy count and your creature power. But what I don’t understand is how you get an opponent who is WAY stronger than you. I also think that this is just a bit unfair. I can say this, because I am HORRIBLE at PvPs, however, it has nothing to do with my strike team. It is simply the opponents that are chosen. Fighting AI isn’t any better either. They award you yes, but it doesn’t impact your trophy count. I feel like it should be the other way around. Another problem is when I’m in the middle of a battle, and a sudden notification that I am not connected to the internet, will appear. There are two issues attached to this: 1) being that I am completely connected, and have internet. 2) When I am verified as ‘reconnected’ by the game, the battle will play itself for me! I don’t get to pick my moves or anything! The game always picks the base move of my current dinosaur until it dies, and because of this, the battle ALWAYS ends up with my opponent winning. I think this is more of a bug than anything. But I would appreciate it if they would fix it. I personally rate the game at 4 stars, but the least I can place is 3.5

Awesome and magnificent game
I’ve been playing JWA for 3 years now and it is wonderful, Ludia has done a wonderful job with it and even though i lost my account back in january 2022 due to a new apple ID, i was able to beat my previous account in just 3 months, which is how wonderful the game is. However just a small critic: Whenever a new creature that is powerful and strong gets released into the game, all the player divert their attention to it, but within a month or two, a new update is released, either nerfing that creature or, adding a new one to be the temporary crown king. This is probably the only problem though, so Ludia can perhaps fix this to make the game almost flawless. I’m not going to lie, I started playing this game partially because Ludia is semi-French, and i’ve admired french people for some reason i just can’t explain even to myself, but mostly because of TheGamingBeaver, as he was the one who brought me into the game(and also my friend Apexkiller1). Finally, my pvp inspiration, IDGT902, who once got to 13,000+ with an only apex team, which is something i am VERY curious about. Anyways, Ludia(if you can see this), you have done a wonderful job with the game, and i hope the future of JWA will be very prosperous. With admiration, TheAmazingSpino

Awesome (Mostly)
This game is the best! You don’t have to walk around a lot because your drone flys there to do it for you. This game is awesome for road trips (unless your driving) because you get lots of dinosaurs. I really like the hybrid thing but I wish you could do it with any dinosaur not just certain ones. The AR is really cool but I wish it was available on more phones not just a couple. I thought it would be like Pokémon Go but it really wasn’t because you can be 200 meters away and still catch a dinosaur. The battling is a bit confusing and hard, but still really good fun. You also can’t create a avatar or anything which would be a good update. You can’t catch any flying dinosaurs or under water ones yet... again would be a really good update. I also wish it was a bit more realistic because you have to fuse dinosaurs and don’t get eggs, which is kind of weird. Also the Dinos should have info sheets like gender, name, ect. The facts about the dinosaurs are really cool but could be more interesting. Anyway if your reading this plz plz plz get the game it’s really good and not that similar to Pokémon Go. Anyone who thinks it is actually play the game and forget about Pokémon Go, when your done with that make a compare and contrast chart, there are lots of differences! So play the game it’s awesome!!!

Very aggressive with nerfs and buffs
Overall I enjoy the game, I like it more than PoGo and I can say it’s nice to see the company trying to implement a combat system. However, the biggest combat overhaul I’ve seen to date just rolled out today and the developers went from one extreme to the next. In an effort to stop raptors from dominating, all battles are now dominated by tanks that have auto cleansing. They gave beefy characters a move that slows the target, deals damage, and cleanses the user of ailments. The aptly named “superiority strike” is a really really strong move to be always usable. On top of this, the overall nerf to strike Dino damage while also buffing tanks health has really only served to give a new class of Dino OP status. Also, side question... why remove Echo’s immunity, I doubt enough people leveled her enough to really test her out but her passive was really unique to raptors and I was looking forward to trying her out. Now she’s just a really really slow raptor without pounce, so... why bother. Again, overall it’s fun, and refreshing to see a new perspective but I personally think combat overhauls should be done gradually instead of just a massive swing, I’m pretty sure every Dino got base stat changes... and most got move changes. Any data you gathered to assess which Dino’s were overused is wasted since you adjusted sooo much in one patch.

Glitches, glitches, and more glitches, money grabbers
I’ve played, tried to play, attempted to play for years now. Constantly having game issues with connections, consistent flow, etc… seems to be more connection issues since the game transformed to new programmers. Lag times from one group of screen activity to another. Totals don’t always seem to reflect being updated in Real Time, but need to log off and log back on again to see current values. The game can’t handle auto migration from original source connectivity on Wi-Fi, to extender Wi-Fi’s to cellular service And tends to have connectivity issues and kicks from game to restart. Tracking items are inconsistent. Identified items with 15-20 minutes left, disappear when get near to them within 5 minutes. Multi users with same trackers on, will not all get the same tracking appearance. When pursuing, and Wi-Fi to cellular happens, kicked connection and restart no longer shows tracking that should be there another 15 minutes. Very frustrating to pursue advancing in the game when the touted functions don’t work, or the game is incapable of staying connected. Multi servers? Buffering? Updating? It just doesn’t flow smoothly… If you have limited mobility and aren’t pursuing anything, it’s more likely to stay connected with a strong signal.

Good fun, but a few suggestions.
This game is a fun experience for those who love dinosaurs and other games similar to this kind. The game is pretty generous in providing resources, and creatures spawn frequently throughout the day, although I would like to see some more variety of the common creatures that spawn. I’m sure dinosaurs spawn depending on the location you’re in, but there are at least 5 commons that I've yet to see outside of battles, which leads me to my next issue. The battles are very fun and I love that it isn’t just a "Tap the screen until you win" kind of game. However, the fact that 4 creatures from your strike team are randomly selected leads to situations where perhaps 3 of my worst members get selected while my opponent gets a full team of their best members. I would like it if you and your opponent got a preview of each other’s teams and then selected which members you use rather than rolling the dice and getting members selected for you. The way you win does work, but I personally would like to knock out my opponents' full team, like in Jurassic World the Game, rather than be the first to 3 knock outs. Hopefully Ludia reads this instead of letting a computer automatically reply to this. Aside from the things I mentioned, I enjoy the game and am looking forward to new features in the future!

Best game, small bugs that need fixing
Ok, so first let me rant about how much I love this game. I was at Universal Studios one day and in front of the jurrassic world ride there was a sign saying “download jwa!” So I did and at first I thought it was just a Pokémon go rip off but once I got into it I realized that this is one of the best games ever invented. It’s simple and fun and I always love playing it. I could play for hours upon end, it’s seriously the best game. Now small bugs. Whenever I open AR mode sometimes my dinosaurs will get a strange orange hue applied and idk if it’s just me but it looks silly. This problem started recently. Also this is just an overall problem bc I have an iPhone 10, but the game is very laggy, and I know it’s not Ludia’s fault, but I will complain anyway. But otherwise, it’s the greatest game. Slight rage problems when I lose a battle, but otherwise you should definitely download. Kept me entertained during three hours of doing nothing. Kudos to whoever pitched this idea. I totally recommend downloading it because it’s free and so addictive. The new pass thing is actually very fun, but more than once I’ve spent cash on a mission reload and it won’t change. It’s a little upsetting. So, download it! 10/10!

Small recommendations and honest review
I don’t know if you care about recommendations but I gave some. One is an aquatic version that is available at level 6. Two is add titanoboa which is my favorite Cenozoic creature. Three is my favorite, you would be able to have a park that you can place dinos and decorations in and others can visit your park. Also make a corythosaurus, it is one of my favs and it’s cool. A hybrid for it would be a dsungasaurus which is a dsungipaterus (I stink at dino names) and the corthosaurus. You don’t need to do it but it would be nice. Thank you 🙏 Review: This game is not your bad Pokémon ripoff, it is actually better and lots more to do. Instead of throwing a ball at a creature and never use it, you instead of capturing a thing with one throw, you have to do multiple and show some skill for direct hits. You can use all the creatures with different attacks ( unlike PG). The only thing relatively bad is the age rating, which does not make sense because there is no gore and inappropriate things. If you can (I don’t know what happens when you make an app) plz change to at least 9+ . There is so many more good things I could say but the bottom line is, this is by far, the best game I have ever played. 🦕🦕🦕🦕🦕🦕🦕🦕🦕🦕🦖🦖🦖🦖🦖🦖🦖🦖🦖 Thank you

Ashton ‘s thoughts
So far the game is still good I member when it first got announced that I was coming out and I subscribed to get it when I did but I end up losing my first account and all the progress I made but I still have played it and even though yeah upgraded The game is still fun even though you got to understand all the new stuff you add in which I’m not complaining😌 but you may need to add some features from other games like this like the raid system if I can’t get anyone trade with let me use for my own creatures and they’re too many clients it’s like a lot of people don’t play anymore I don’t know longer there which you need to temporary suspend or remove all the counts if there are people still playing then sure keep them on but there are too many empty spaces in clans but if I leave and join another one how will I know if it’s the same too many people in a clam but only a few were Actors or none at all not saying you have to delete some accounts just put them on standby if I don’t respond like in a certain number of months have them kicked out of the clan so that way people will know if there still people enjoying the game. After all this time I still seem to enjoy this game and Pokémon go and I hope You continue to improve and still be fun!

1/5 communication features
For a game that is fairly alliance driven, there aren’t many options to communicate effectively in said alliance. Some improvements/suggestions: -Leaders/Co-Leaders/Officers: visually annunciated names for chat purposes. Can initiate polls w such topics including: top 2 dinos in each category (rare/epic etc) that you would like in sanctuary that month, what’s more valuable pvp score or attendance (in regards to making room for more members by removing less active ones), what’s a dino you never see in sanct but would like to, while giving the option to write in their own answer. -RAIDS: have a chat option for the set up portion. Even if it’s simple buttons like (choose group healer) (choose group shielding dino) but free chat could work better.. I keep having to leave raids or surrender early because 1 or 2 ppl die immediately and I wish I could tell them it’s because the dinosaurs they pick are NOT good for raids but some people don’t understand this concept and that is OK. But If I could let it be known that *that’s* why I’m not playing with y’all anymore I think it would help my alliance and friend list in their raid techniques. For a game that is free there could be at the minimum an easier way to chat during the raid set up process. I would even pay 1.99 for a version with a better way to talk to ur alliance or at least your raid group.

Glitches
This is an awesome game... so much better than Pokémon go. I love the scent capsules to bring dinosaurs to me so I can play at home too when I’m not out and about. It is very rewarding to see all your dinosaurs, build your team and get them stronger and to see yourself rising in the ranks. I do have issues with all the glitches in the game and is why I gave it 4 stars. The first is the battles. The first couple times I did the battles it was fine but then the last few times it has completely frozen up on me. I can’t see my dinosaur, my moves, or any of the other persons. I literally can’t do anything so I’m forced to close out of the app and then I’ve lost. Not because of what I’ve done but because of a glitch which is extremely annoying. On top of that, when you lose a battle you also lose the stars you’ve gained so that is really frustrating. The game will also randomly close out on me at the worst times... like when you’re about to get a rare dinosaur 🙄 I really wanted to give this 5 stars because it is such a fun game, but the glitches make it very frustrating. I hope the glitches get fixed because this is one of the best games I think I’ve ever played on my phone! It just keeps me coming back for more 😊 Thank you for taking the time to read this!

Unexpectedly addicting!
let me say… this game is more addicting than it has a right to be, lol! I find myself whittling hours away just capturing dinosaurs and evolving them to make them stronger. Unlike other similar apps I have played, this game provides more than enough ways to keep playing without interruption, can’t while it does offer a subscription service and other payable features, it is not necessary to have a good time-though you will definitely have an edge when it comes to PVP if you choose to spend money. I personally feel it is a great game all around, I only have a few minor complaints,Which dropped its rating for me to four stars.. I feel the payable services are rather expensive when compared to other games. I also encounter some lag while playing at times. i’m glad that we are allowed to add friends and participate in raids together without being in proximity to one another, but I wish there were ways we could send each other gifts or other helpful things… Or trade DNA… Without having to be in the same alliance. other than these few points, the game really is amazing and I have been enjoying it since I started playing! If you like dinosaurs, pets, etc-definitely give it a try!

Casually fun, and deceptively frustrating.
A decent casual game, as long as you stay away from the Player vs Player and Higher Tier Daily Player vs Enemies Battles. In Battles/Arena however, statistical improbabilities become a common occurrence and seemingly never in your favor. Abilities like Cloak (an ability that significantly decreases damage taken 67% of the time) will fail you eight or nine times out of ten. Animals with notoriously low critical chance will magically sweep your team with massive critical hits. Which, if you're doing higher tier/gold incubator(essentially in game loot-boxes that can give currency, gems/bucks, and resources to level up your animals) battles, will completely null your ability to do it again. Of course you can PAY (in game currency) for another attempt. But getting the in game version of gems is an incredibly slow process, and as such you'll most likely need to pay actual money to get back in the fight. In the Arena, moving up from mid tier rank seems nearly impossible, as if the game is actively fighting against you. On several occasions the game has put me against people from a higher bracket (i.e, ~2800 against ~3400, in game we're talking almost 2 full brackets). Plus the fact that people can absolutely buy their way to the top of rankings, it's VERY difficult to recommend some of the selling points of this game.

Oh boy
This game can be a lot of fun. When you win battles get new creatures it is fun. But the battle system is so broken and once you win a battle you lose two. The stat boosts make the game pay to win. Nobody wants to play with that. There are some talented people behind the modeling and texturing and the animation. But then there’s people who are comparable to jellyfish. It’s an ongoing theme with these games. The common misspelling and incorrect name/creature. One instance is the triceratops gen 2 having the name stegosaurus next to it in one of the past weekly events. And also some mistakes that you don’t even bother fixing even though they’ve been pointed out time and again. Such as allosaurus gen 2 which is typed out as allosaurus gen2 in game. Why won’t you take two seconds out of your day and put a space in between gen and 2. Some hybrid designs are fantastic. But the majority are garbage. Like Purutasaurus, Grypolyth, Purrolyth. Apparently if it is another creature mixed with Purrusaurus it becomes a knockoff indoraptor. Why do they have the indoraptor animation? I’m so curious as to the reasoning behind that. I don’t get how people think that many hybrids are good ideas, hybrids like spinonyx. Why would you mix two very similar creatures. One will completely block out the other. And like edmontoguanodon. It looks like an everyday hadrosaur or ornithopod. Why would you mix two very similar animals I just don’t get it.

Huge Potential, Disappoints In Some Ways
This game has a really neat premise (very similar to Pokémon Go, but still). Being able to move around collecting Dinosaurs and then view them in AR is really neat. So far arena fights have been pretty fair and had nice rewards. My issue is with the supply drops. Ludia, I understand you have to make money with micro transactions in a free game. As a Jurassic World (original) player, I didn’t mind the Solid Gold membership until it completely destroyed any semblance of balance in the arena; no normal player could deal with solid gold hybrids limited to VIPs. In this game, 10$ a month is much more reasonable than 30$, But I won’t be buying a membership because that’s paying to get an unfair advantage which normal players just can’t contend with. If you change one thing, please: Don’t pretend like receiving cash from Supply Drops (even special event ones) is EVER going to happen. It is maddening that you’ll put “Prize 1” through “Prize 3”, with 2 of those including 10 bucks in the package. And yet, somehow, you never wind up receiving cash when it *should* be a 2/9 chance per your own prize system. Very cheap and disappointing. If you’re going to pretend cash prizes are remotely likely at supply drops, let us *Pick* between the 2 or 3 prize options.

Far better than Pokémon Go
So I have had Pokémon go and this since it was released and by far I play this one every day since it came out. I severely lost interest in Pokémon go since I got sick a year ago and was in the hospital and this was fantastic to play from my room and I wasn’t able to be forced to walk around like Pokémon go, kinda hard when you have a trach. This game has come a long way since it first launched and personally it keeps getting better. I haven’t played Pokémon go in forever since it was useless unless you walked around not to mention with JWA you can play while in a moving vehicle, I can even catch a few Dino’s or supply drops while on the highway. The one downfall though is the range of drone but I just bought the monthly subscription since i really can’t just go out walking around the block with out putting on 30 minutes worth of equipment so the 10$ is not bad for what it’s worth. Keep everything up! It’s fantastic what this game offers in what Pokémon go severely lacks. Ive been able to advance way farther from sitting on my couch than when I was able to walk around the block and play. I wish I could give more than 5 stars but that doesn’t seem to happen.

Great Game Some Work Needed
It really like this game there is truest something special about it. It’s super fun! There are lots of things that need to be fixed however... First off there are lots of glitches with battles such as I won’t find an opponent and will have to wait 60 seconds and then my game will time out. Like after the first 5 seconds someone doesn’t respond I already know that I’m going to have to wait and my game will crash. Secondly, it would be sick if Ludia would make the game just a tad bit more realistic. Now I understand this is difficult to do however if done would make the game awesome. I was thinking for example if you were to use the pounce move on a raptor that it would cut to the raptor actually jumping on the opponent creature. Other moves could work as well. Like t rex biting the neck on fierce rampage. Just a thought; but would be super cool! Lastly I think the sauropods are scaled down WAY too much in the game. I get that they have to fit them on screen but like cmon brachiosaurus was one of the tallest land animals to live and ur telling me trex was at its height. They could atleast like just should the neck and tail go off into the distance. Anyways, great game but there is some work that needs to be done to improve it. This isn’t a Pokémon go rip off

This is a GPS-based game. Play it if you have the time and resources, otherwise don’t.
Ludia has some kinks to work out, otherwise I play this game much more than Pokemon Go. What irks me are the negative reviews regarding this game and Pokemon Go. They’re typically from players who truly DON’T like GPS-based games (games that require you to put in EFFORT). One of the negative reviews mentions something about “staying at home”. With this game, you can’t stay at home. Another negative reviewer didn’t like the “hard” method to retrieve dinosaur DNA (equivalent to Pokemon Go candy). Once you get the hang of it, it’s pretty easy for commons. Rares & Epics are more difficult. It’s something new compared to Pokemon Go. I play this game in every car (passengers only please!) ride to/from where ever I go every day. Unlike Pokemon Go, you’re able to play whether your driver is going 15mph, or 80mph. The game will allow you to pick up dinosaurs, even on the highway. Plus, you can BATTLE other players or AI. On the contrary, there are hackers in this game, but encountering them are rare. They appear in Battle mode and are typically in the higher arenas. I have not encountered any myself yet. Getting to the higher arenas is tough, but it is not the goal of the game.

P2W
tldr: a battle pass ruins the early-mid game ive played this game 2 years ago and i got back into it a month ago. i used to have a ton of fun playing this game and the core gameplay has stayed, but a lot of new stuff was introduced, including a battle pass. completing the battle pass gives you a very strong unit but if you buy the battle pass you get two of these really strong units and extra levels for them. when i say strong i mea. STRONG, rexy and panthera blytheae are the two units that have beenin the free passes, and both are extremely meta. rexy is oneof the most powerful statsticks in the game and blytheae has the best move in the game. the paid passes introduce more extremely good units but since i dont spend money i wont give my opinion on them besidesthe obvious fact it makes the game easy mode. because the battle pass is so easy to get, it completely ruins the early-mid game because why would you spend time getting decent units when you can buy a battle pass which gives you one unit that beats everything you will get in the first 200 hours of gameplay by a landslide. the game becomes completely centered around luck and whoever gets their battle pass unit wins. now that my rant overthe battle pass is over the game is decently fun but has a lot of performance issues and drains battery life on older phones.

Great game but many things could be fixed to make it better
This game is honestly a game I would recommend to most of my friends but the thing is they have way more things to work on so many bugs and unfair moves that some creatures should not have like insta charge I can understand it for light weights like pachy variants but for everything else it’s like what were you thinking wile making the game and for the bugs in battles a friend texts me or a notification pops up then it “freezes” and I have to restart the game and lose there are a few others like the map not working in some cases but let me get out of the negative and ya it’s pretty easy and cool how you get creatures you can kind of surprise your self when you are almost there or are there to getting a new creature and the battle system and everything is pretty good it’s kind of satisfying to get that critical chance and insta kill your opponent I like the clan system and the map is really well done if the bugs were fixed and some of the creatures where modified then this game would be one of the best games I have played on my phone and I would definitely recommend it for people that want a Dino game or just any game to just play when they are bored and don’t know what to do so ya

You messed up
The new graphics are awesome. But that doesn’t make up for the fact that not only did you take away the boosts already applied, you made them more costly. For example, giving back a couple hundred in speed doesn’t cut it, when it takes much more than that now to get your Dino back to the speed it had been getting. Would’ve been nice had you offered a fair amount of coins for a chance at leveling up these defunked boosted Dinos. But you didn’t. Furthermore, some of us that had been saving up boosts, since the higher the tier, the more that was required, did not get those back. Only the ones already applied. What you fail to realize is that some of these boosts took a lot of time, effort, and coinage to get. Now then, all wasted. PICK YOUR TEAM, you said. Well I did. Built up my dream team to where I at least had a chance to win a few battles. Now then it’s become a nightmare. Win one, lose ten. How fair is that? I’ve done some swapping around with my own dinos, to no avail, as I’m sure other players have. But like I said, I HAD my team picked. YOU changed it. And y’know? At the end of a crappy work day, last thing I wanna do is play a game I keep losing at.

Has potential but too many cheaters
I’ve had a lot of fun playing the game but have recently got fed up with two aspects of the game: Firstly cheaters make pvp no fun. Once you get to the higher pvp tiers, they are littered with accounts that have obviously exploited 3rd party sites that hack money and coins. Just search JW Alive hacks and they pop up. Getting enough DNA to make the high level dinosaurs is very hard unless you buy incubators and I doubt most people are spending $30-$50 per incubator to get such high levels. The additional issue brings me to point 2. Coins are hard to come by in the game, pvp yields is the best way to get coins but due to the lack of parity it’s more difficult for regular players. Supply drops will yield some, but once you reach a certain point where your dinosaurs are around level 15 you don’t get enough to level up very often unless you buy coins. Until there’s any effort from the developer to curb cheating I’m refraining from playing the game Edit: I changed the rating from 1 to 4 because with the latest update they’ve addressed the coin issue to some degree and it appears that they’ve taken a stance towards the cheating element. Still see some accounts of obvious cheaters in pvp, but more parity in general.

Nothing bad can be said
I love this game with all my heart. Even though the age restriction is 17+ I started playing when I was around 11 or 12. I fell in love at first sight. I’m a huge dinosaur fan and Jurassic world alive is just the best dino game I’ve ever played. The only problem I have are connection issues or sometimes the games running way too slow, but I think that’s because I play on an iPhone 7😅 I see that people are always complaining about connection issues which to be fair is a pretty big problem but at the same time if you have an iPhone 11 or better, this game runs very smoothly. I really love this game and I’m excited for what’s to come in the future. If there was any complaints that I have its definitely the connection issue and the fact that sometimes if I’m playing in my car and im a passenger it gives me the warning and if I click I’m a passenger it keeps showing up no matter what. I think that might be a glitch in the game or you guys are trying to be extra cautious but either way it’s not too often that it happens. Either way I really love this game and ignore all those one stars this game is amazing!

Overall descent
It’s over all descent! Reminds me of Pokémon Go which everyone loves but to Compete against Niantic You will definitely need to add some new features... Like (Incenses) to increase spawn rates for like 30 mins cause in my area barley anything spawns no matter where I am at besides along the road while driving quite a few pop up but who wants to play while driving! (Dangerous) Maybe create like a (Dino eggs)to increase XP, while your playing for certain amount of time. Another idea would be have a Character walking around with his Droid instead of alit arrow cause it is a game where poeple have to walk around, It make more sense... Then you could create Dino eggs where members can walk them to hatch baby dinos which I think would be quite interesting! And lastly you should create gyms around the world where u battle other Dino’s, cause that will get players out more to wana play the game. Cause like Pokémon go everyone was out and about to battle gyms and raid bosses. Sry for the long response just giving my feedback and hope you Consider making these chances to make this game totally awesome! Cause when there is competition like Pokémon, you got set yourself out there and take the advice us players r giving you. Hopefully down the road I will see these improvements and then I’ll definitely rate it a 5 star

Used to be fun... Go play Jurassic World The Game instead
I have been playing JWA daily since launch I have very fond memories of this game and have made lasting friendships playing it with friends and family on an international team. This game is quality and quite fun... but has become too tedious to play with any enjoyment... it is too hard to gather resources and the powercreep of the meta is so frustrating that if you don't pay an exorbitant amount of money after each new update that even pay to win players get left behind... This game needs serious evaluation and Jam City / Ludia needs to listen to the community to right this sinking ship Quickly... the game desperately needs rebalancing and debugging because there are many glitches and unfair balance within the game... resources need to be WAY WAY WAY more abundant and pay to win needs to cool down... I am happy to pay for cool content but when I pay 100 us dollars and get the in game equivalent of a wet fart it is shameful at best. This game needs an aquatic update as well as many more fresh ideas and thats after the problems are solved.... if all of this doesn't happen.... then you might as well close the game down and invest in Jurassic World The Game instead of Jurassic World Alive.... JWTG was always better tbh.

Has needs
I’m playing because my grandson wants me to and we have fun at it. That said, I feel there’s plenty lacking in your rush to get this out to correspond with the movie. So some tips: how about explaining the ins and outs of the battle sequences in more depth. There a short training sequence that just touches on the very basics with no explanation as to why some go first and some go twice. It’s all a bit lacking in that area. Make the level ups a tad easier, I feel it tends to make folks want to not play when it takes so long to level up, like their getting no where and fast. I know you want folks to spend the money for more DNA and what not but the frustration level does have a limit. I’m sure you probably going off of other models when it comes to measuring patience of players. I say stand on your own and be better, make it enjoyable and profitable without driving folks away. Also collect and battle are the only options? Can’t you create a third distraction of some type? You only show the top 50 players, how discouraging is that. I want to know where I stand with players at my level. I don’t need a canned response to this note, just create a better game or get a new project manager. Oh and keep the Dino’s off of busy streets and out of the ocean and harbors for obvious reasons. Thanks.

Absolutely No communication!!
This was a 4 star review and I had to drop it to 1 for the following reasons. Contacted through “contact us” in the settings, about in game currency that was paid for. I have yet to receive any in game money. I have not had any communication from this game company other then an automatic message. Spent 20 dollars to purchase the hybrid epic pack that is now not available since I have yet to receive what I paid for. I also sent pics with all verifications that was in your FAQ about such a issue. Apparently your company does not value customer service and or customer communication. Sad it has now been 36 hours since this company has been paid and I have proof through my bank. Still no communication from this company after multiple attempts. Still waiting. If they do not provide what I paid for with in the next 12 hours. I will be forced to take further actions, as of today you have stolen money from me. Defrauding a consumer out of any amount of money is theft. I have no issue filling out a BBB report on this company and I urge any and all customers that have been defrauded of money do the same. Well I received my refunds from iTunes. And will be reporting your contour the BBB. As well as uninstalling this garbage money grabbing game. You will not receive anymore money from me or my family and friends. Your company is now blacklisted.

Great game; give it a try
So I’ve been playing JWA since it’s launch around 3 years ago. First let’s start by saying once you get into the game, it’s super addicting. Even better if you have friends to compete with. Most people just think this is a Dino clone of Pokémon go, but it’s definitely not the case. I’m my opinion, it’s a lot better. There is so much variety and strategy needed to be good at this game. You will have fun; but be prepared to rage as well. Other reviews have covered what the game is about and what the main goals are, so I won’t touch up on that stuff. Just the pure replay ability of the game and the satisfaction to get that amazing hybrid Dino you’ve been grinding to get all month. Or the feeling of you trying to get better dinos than your friend. The game is just so good and I highly suggest you give it a try. If I had to compare this game to another one, i would say it is a baby between clash royale and Pokémon go. It takes the deck building, clan mechanics, and chest rewards from clash royale and takes the IRL free roam expierience from Pokémon go and puts its own twist in it with the catching mechanics and battle features and BOOM, you got yourself one great game: Jurassic world alive.

Ridiculous customer service 😡
It is ridiculous how bad Ludia treats their customers! They think that they’re perfect that nothing goes wrong with their apps! That everyone here is a freeloader, that they’re just complaining to get free stuff. If it was any other company they would have compensated the customer already!! But these people have no regards for their customers. I’ve complained one time to wsop Playtika because their server kept on timing out on me; and they said sorry and compensated me 5 million credits; and I didn’t spend even $1 on their app. I’ve spent over $1000 American $ on you guys!! Look it up if you don’t believe me! And here I get no support from you guys! I wasted 1000 hard cash on an epic scent I got no dinosaur, not even a single common one. Ya I’m upset, because I spent a lot of money on you guys, because I like the game. But you guys are so cheap and stingy that you won’t even compensate a customer when crap like this happens!! Instead they have somebody who just says sorry and gives the support email address, which is nothing but an email that is junk for them! And here in the middle of battle screen freezes, connection lost (when I have perfect WiFi at home), the attack options don’t load up, etc.. etc.. I’ve emailed ludia support 3x already and it’s been months and nothing! By the way I’m a premium member I pay $10/month to you guys too. You can look that up also.

It is SOOO FUN! Perfect for dinosaur lovers!!! (With a few problems)
I love this game because It explains the world of Jurassic World,(specifically after the Dinos escaped nublar island) you start as a dinosaur trainer, and you gain dinosaurs by shooting darts off a drone and collecting 🧬 DNA and build the Dino’s that way. I recommend this to anyone who loves dinosaurs and or Jurassic world! And you can level up and battle! There are a few flaws: - you can’t change your name anymore, which is kind of stupid. I mean, they used to have it but, it stopped letting you do it in A previous up date and I hope they fix it because I liked being Able to change my name. - If you leave during a raid, and join back in, ( let’s say the next Day) it just goes straight to the previous raid and after about 4 Or 5 seconds later, the hole screen turns hot pink and then It fritzes back to the loading screen. Laudia, if you read this, Plsss fix it! I also think they should make apuatic creatures! And for all those worried parents, this game is highly addictive, and has a slight chat ( but only in the alliances) I hope you find This very helpful, and have fun!

Fun
This app is very fun and is worth the download. It is very similar to Pokémon Go but in my opinion much better. Although I do have some issues with it. First, I love the battling system, but you should be able to choose which 4 to bring to each battle. I don’t know how many times I’ve started a battle and it gave me my 2 level ones and 2 other low level ones when my level 7 was nowhere to be seen. Other than that maybe make the players have to knock out all 4 dinos instead of 3. But nonetheless I love the battle system. The next (minor) issue is the VIP. I’m ok with a payment to make the game easier or more fun, but don’t make it monthly. I would say make it one payment of 10-15 dollars, and then many more people will buy it, including myself. Finally the loading is terrible. My phone/internet is/are not slow. The loading in this game takes forever. The biggest ones are when you click fight or when you go to look at a new Dino you haven’t before. It got to the point where I timed it and it took 7 minutes to get into a fight. These are really the only issues I have, and I really like the game. I’m typing this while the game is updating, so maybe you guys fixed some of these, but I doubt all of them by reading the patch notes. Thank you.

Don’t waste your time...
I’d love to give this game a zero stars but sadly cannot. I have been playing for awhile now and more and more the game has turned from play to win to pay to win. From a monthly subscription for better drones and free incubators to straight up buying dna incubators for stronger dinos. The worst thing is the connectivity has drastically suffered in recent weeks. I’ll be in a battle and the game freezes, can’t attack another online opponent and then I lose by default. Or I’ll be in a promotional battle (think Raid battles/gym battles from Pokémon go) for incubators or scents and the same thing will happen. Only for me to lose and then have to spend the cash that is given in such low quantities. I literally just had this happen for the 5th time this week and wasted my final 200 cash on a T. rex battle. Only for the game to freeze again after I had made a move. Not fair at all and a waste of my final cash. Oh but they expect you to use tapjoy a third party to download apps and give personal information like to sign up for credit karma or other apps and games, which I foolishly did only to not be rewarded with the cash promised. Only to have Ludia and tapjoy day it wasn’t their problem and that it was the others fault. Now I receive spam emails and telemarketer calls daily. Do yourself a favor and don’t bother with this game, it’s just a poor and buggy clone of Pokémon Go.

Battles are riddled with bugs and glitches :(
It really pains me to say this, but I have less and less fun every time I go to play this game, which is really a huge bummer. It has amazing potential, and I’ve always been in love with the franchise, but I feel not much is being done to correct the endless amount of battle glitches and errors. There are too many to count, and there are times that I lose all patience with the game and don’t touch the app at all. Battles should be fun, but it’s a gamble of whether or not they will work. I have to restart the app whenever a battle fails to load properly, and by that time (if reloading the app even fixes the battle) I’ve likely already lost. It’s a shame, and it’s frustrating. This specific problem has been going on for quite a long while as well. If this one part of the game was up and running properly, I’d be giving a five star no doubt. I won’t disregard the amazing work that has gone into this game, because it really does show. When the game does happen to run smoothly, which is rare in my experience, I have a blast! But it’s been long enough that battles have not been working properly, if you ask me. I hope that this is resolved soon, and thank you if you took the time to read this!

A Cash Cow
This game is designed to make you pay if you wish to evolve your Dino’s to make a haphazard battle team for the arenas. And don’t start with the whole free coins at the SD. You will only receive a fraction of what’s required and there is a daily cap on the coins you do receive. Even if you enrolled in the VIP program at $9.99 a month you’re still capped at 9600 coins a day. You might think that’s a lot, but when considering one evolve on my current T-Rex is going to cost me 60,000 coins it’s not hard to do the math. Right now I need approximately 850K coins to beef up my current battle team of Dino’s to be competitive. Run all the numbers and it’s either take 6 months to still be behind their bots or dump some serious cash into the game to level the playing field. Then you have the bot Dino’s that Ludia has in place for the supposedly PvP arena battles that are so over powered you will lose more battles than you win, causing you to keep slipping in the rankings. Before you think it’s just me having sour grapes check with the various Facebook pages and Discord channels about JWA and the general consensus is this game is too costly. Still don’t believe me then try to evolve your Dino’s and come back and let me know how you’re doing. I’ve read posts advising this is par for the course for Ludia as they are money hungry in all their games. You know what they say about a leopard and spots.

Has potential, but is ridiculously expensive to play
This is a great game that I play daily, and to me far surpasses Pokémon Go because it’s a lot more friendly to the rural players. I’d rate it 5 stars except for one thing: it’s expensive af to try playing competitively. VIP status costs $9.99 a month, which in my opinion is worth the buffs it gives you. What is truly frustrating is the incubator costs (usually $40+) and the fact that the longer you play, the more prices go up. Also leveling up higher level dinosaurs is ridiculously expensive considering the daily coin caps. The tournament is a joke. Unless you buy incubators and coins you don’t stand a chance. A couple suggestions I have are: give players a chance to opt out of the tournament. I only pvp to get the prize incubators and hate it because it’s almost impossible to win battles without dropping a lot of cash to level up your dinosaurs. A way to make the tournament a little more fun might be to have it in tiers. Instead of only the top 500 players getting a prize have the prizes go to the top players in each arena. Another suggestion is stop making players pay ($50?!?) to get a level up prize. Either remove the prize entirely, or have a much smaller free option, and the option to buy the bigger prize. I guess what it boils down to is: while I love many aspects of the game, is the price tag worth it? Honestly.. idk.

Help
I play this game because my son loves it. We have a lot of fun playing this game together. But there is a few things that they could change that would make it better. For one when we’re at the place we’re staying right now all the dinosaurs just happen to always be on the outer part of our circle. They never spawn where we can get them. They’ll be 5 dinosaurs all on top of each other just on the outside of our circle. You could have one spawn every once in a while in our circle. They do when we are at our other home. I’ve said this many time but it hasn’t changed yet. 140 darts is a little low when you’re driving around getting dinosaurs. You could up that a bit. And maybe you could up the amount you get when you’re sharing dinosaur DNA. And just an idea but maybe you could pick a level where you let your group share epic DNA. Not a lot but you don’t spawn epics out there a whole lot, so it’s really frustrating when you can never do anything to up your uniques and legendaries. And it would be nice if you gave us more attempts when you gives us the events. You don’t realize how bad of a shot some of us are. Thank you and I hope you take my suggestions into consideration. From a mom that plays your game with her boy.

Ok please fix this major problem that’s ruining my experience + some tips
I have a strong hatred for random luck. It never goes in my favor. However, I am pretty skillful when it comes to games. The fact that you pick 8 Dinosaurs for your team, and have 4 of them randomly chosen is absurd. I just got the T. rex right? And I wanna use it! It took me over 3 or 4 matches before finally being able to use it. I also don’t like how I randomly get my good dinosaurs, and randomly the bad ones. I have a few high level dinosaurs, and I like to use them to gain the upper hand on the enemy. But more than half the time, I get stuck with my low level dinos that don’t stand a chance against a level 6 stegosaurus. But if I had my better ones, it would make for a fair fight. P.S. sorry for the long response. I will change my review when it gets fixed. But a good idea is, that you pick 1 or 2 dinosaurs (depending on your progress in the game) that you will indefinitely have in battle. And the remaining 2 are chosen randomly from the 6 other Dinosaurs. Also, I, and many other people, would buy the vip if it were just $10. $10 a month is just nuts! No wonder less than a tenth of a percent of your players have it. It’s just too much. $10 just in general is a lot for a phone game. But people love the game, so... you choose.

Losing interest
I have been playing JWA since just after it came out. It was a lot of fun in the beginning and the addition of raids made it even better! The game has not had a significant improvement since raids were added. It is full of glitches and problems that have gone unaddressed for months or a year+ in many cases. It is geared more toward the paying player and it is almost impossible to progress if you aren’t paying big money to play. I have a monthly VIP membership which has very little return and with the game lacking quality with glitches and nothing new except more dinos, I’m going to be cancelling that membership. I am a co-lead of my alliance and having a very difficult time motivating our team to play for all the same reasons listed here. The rewards aren’t worth the time and frustration to play. I am only sticking with it because our alliance has a lot of great people that are fun to chat with but that is outside the game. The game is still fun if you’re new to it… there is a lot of stuff to do, good variety and a lot of accomplishments to conquer but it gets old quick. Hopefully today’s update will prove to actually fix some glitches and present something new and different to engage the interest of the longer term players again.
