- “The graphics are amazing and I love the hybrid designs.”

- “The graphics are rough, the controls are unresponsive, they push for you to buy stuff or download malware in order to get ahead.”

The stability of the game has been widely criticized, with users reporting frequent freezing, lagging, and various glitches that significantly hinder gameplay. Many players express frustration over the game's tendency to crash during battles and while collecting resources, leading to lost progress and rewards. Despite the game's enjoyable aspects, the overwhelming number of bugs and performance issues has led to a decline in user satisfaction, with calls for urgent fixes from the developers.
- “Runs great on my phone.”
- “I love the game, but when I try AR, it glitches out. Please fix the glitch; I would love to see my favorite dinosaur through my phone screen. Love your game, keep going!”
- “The game is stable and performs well, making for a smooth gaming experience.”
- “It's a fun game but it has a few glitches. Sometimes most of the dinosaur pictures won't show up, sometimes I get closed out of some of the in-game stuff before I even get to start them, it sometimes tells me I'm going too fast when I'm not even driving anywhere, and some of the newly discovered creatures that you get so many attempts to get DNA for say I already have a few attempts on them with no DNA to show for it.”
- “The game freezes and crashes every time I try to play. I can't even play the game more than a minute if I was collecting dino DNA or in a PvP battle; anything else just freezes and closes.”
- “The game is great when it works, but it is crazy buggy. It freezes a lot, and it gives the other player more chances to play and win, and it should be the first player that chooses the fight that should be the first one to go, not the one that takes forever to choose.”

The music aspect of the game has received significant criticism, with users reporting severe performance issues when music is playing, leading to game slowdowns and crashes.
