Bad Dinosaur collaborated with the Centre for Educational Enhancement and Development, University of St Andrews to create a web-based booking system. The system was designed to streamline the process of matching tutors and students based on availability and expertise, which was previously done manually. The platform also offered features such as bulk upload of course module codes, flagging when maximum appointments were reached, and extensive reporting features. The client commended Bad Dinosaur for their willingness to collaborate closely, respond to feedback, and handle any bugs that arose during the project.

Bad Dinosaur was hired by Queen Margaret University to develop the Social Connections App. The app was designed to translate the Social Connections methodology to the online world, making it more accessible. It included a traditional survey function, alongside a visual representation of social network analysis data collection methods. Bad Dinosaur's team was praised for their holistic service and commitment to the project, taking the time to explain processes and prioritizing the interests of the Social Connections Tool.

Trundl Limited hired Bad Dinosaur to develop an app that turns everyday walks into charity donations. The app, available on Apple and Android, needed to accurately track personal and collective walking, provide information about charity partners, and host brand offers that members could redeem. The company selected Bad Dinosaur due to their culture fit, value for cost, and aligned company values. In the second phase, Bad Dinosaur helped Trundl win an Innovate UK grant for further development of the app, creating a B2B offering and additional features.
