ABOUT THE AUTHOR/ARTIST

Professor Potts is a dashing investigator who loves nothing more than jet-setting around the world exploring scientific mysteries. His butler has a PhD in nuclear science and his dog will only eat bones from the Jurassic period.

Aidan Potts -his alter ego- has a slightly more tedious biography. Aidan was born in London 1963 and 6 months later he moved to Nigeria, followed by Bogota, Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania, Tripoli, Libya and the Turks and Caicos. He studied History of Art at University College London, then began working as an illustrator for the British press. Among his books are “Uneversaurus” and “The Smash Smash Truck”.

Версия 3.0.5

This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon.

Version 3.0.5 has lowered the age restriction and has a new lower price.
The upgrade is free to all those with paid version 3.0.0.
NOTE TO USERS OF 2.0 the app will be free to all from the 3nd April to the 9th April.
This is so we can allow previous paying customers to get the full version in in-app purchase they paid for.
Version 3.0 was a complete rebuild, returning to the older much loved version with larger illustrations and the ability to download idioms for reading offline (without a wifi connection)..
It has 50 new strips.
If you have suggestions on how to improve the app please let us know, we appreciate your input.

An issue

Something happened and I can’t see the content at all on my iPhone 7. Everything was OK recently.
Could you please help me?

Raw program.

This is very raw product . I will refuse from it .

Plain theft

The app is a blatant act of stealing your money! DON’T BUY IT. I bought it awhile ago but when I got around to actually studying the idioms (I’m a busy person), it turned out my purchase was gone and I couldn’t restore it. To the developer: well done, Mr.Thief, I hope Apple removes your app altogether.
