Check out some apps released by fellow readers in November 2015, including an app for those addicted to Instagram, games that will make you think, and more! By Ryan Poolos.
Dino Discovery: Dinosaur Fact Game
Dino Discovery will let you collect all the dinosaurs as they walk the earth.
Dino Discovery is a simple pairing game at its core. Dino eggs pop up and hatch into awesome dinosaurs. You can combine matching dinosaurs to evolve them into later dinosaurs. Each new dino you encounter lets you collect them and see a stat page on them. Things like name trivia, size, diet, timeframe for living, etc.
You can buy some Dinos if you’re desperate for the big ones. You can also buy tools to increase the frequency of dino eggs. Dino Discovery is a fantastic app for kids. Its fun to collect the dinosaurs and you’ll learn a bit about them along the way.

Instrmntl looks like a musicians best friend.
Instrmntl helps you to catalog your instruments and equipment right on your iPhone. Keep track of all the important metadata like serial numbers, make, model, identifying marks like stickers or scratches. Even take a few pictures for a full view of your stash.
Should the unspeakable happen your instrument be stolen or even just forgotten on set. You can put out an alert to all instrmntl users and they’ll get your information to identify your equipment and contact you to return it.
Instrmntl will also allow you to list your instruments for sale within the app. A great way for musicians to sell and trade instruments with like minded professionals.
