Anyways there's one that can be used offline that I really like called "Paleontologas". It tells you about pretty much life in all of the periods on Earth from the Hadean period all the way to the future.

I created an app for the apple app store called geology timescale tutor to help learn the different ages, epochs, periods, eras, eons etc in geology. Also there are a bunch other apps there for biochemistry, endocrinology, pharmacy.

thank you for all the recommendations, as a biologist myself i love anything evolutionary biology and paleontology related lol ... Season 2 of Prehistoric Planet included them at the end of the each episode. But I think there are several ones on YT via the official Apple channel

I've definitely gotten my $40 worth out of it. Between dinosaurs, ecology, oceans, fungi, and war it has most definitely paid for itself. I've used it more than any other streaming service!
