Comments on Fossil Explorer for Android

★★★★★ Intresting to see what fossils are near me, the uk is probley the best place in the world for fossil hunting, the app is easy to use but it would be nice if it told yoy excatly what the fossil was but other than that i like it.

★★★★★ Great for finding out what might be lurking under our feet, kids can't wait to get digging! Will be using on our next beach holiday.

★★★★★ good natural history dictionary because i m paleontologist

★★☆☆☆ I'm not in Britain. Why is there nothing like this in America? I have things I'd like help to identify. Losing fossil app hope.

★★☆☆☆ Error will not connect to server ,brilliant app when it was working

★★☆☆☆ Still stopped working. was great before. Error message. Shame. It was a good ap, burnt completely unstable anymore

★★☆☆☆ No good for actually identifying fossils, poor quality drawings that look nothing like a photograph of what is meant to be the same species.

★★☆☆☆ Could not get it to work after three separate installations. Just got the NHM logo screen then nothing else.
