Leave a Review The World HD
  • Disappointing

    You don’t continuously scroll like spinning a globe. This is just like a paper map with edges. The whole zoom thing really doesn’t work like it was described. The font doesn’t even resize. If you want additional zoom, you have to pick a specific country.
  • Missing Key

    There doesn’t seem to be a key as to what various symbols mean.
  • Map needs updating

    The app is relatively good at what it does, and more convenient on the iPad than some alternatives. The rendering of the maps seems generally rather good, however there seem to be some inconsistencies especially with the political maps. (For instance, the states of Mexico are sharply demarcated but not the states of Australia or Germany or the provinces of Canada.)

    In addition, the map presently seems to have some outdated information, for instance “Mount McKinley” in Alaska instead of the correct and official name, Denali; also, it draws the International Date Line through, rather than around, the nation of Kiribati.

  • Language

    I wish that we could switch to have commonly used English names for the cities. I use this to increase my knowledge but it is often hard to find the cities, rivers or even small countries as they are only given in the native language.
  • Very Useful

    Very useful. I don’t care, personally, for the typestyle, but I use the app just about every day for world events.
  • Where’s the rest?

    The maps are fairly detailed in terms of countries and cities, but that’s it. Provinces, counties and many bodies of water are not identified. Those that are, aren’t always clear. Yet another map app that leaves me wanting.
  • Solid App at the Right Price

    Quick to load and access, lots of detail, and no online access required. Definitely going to be my go-to world map from now on.
  • if pilots used this, they’d be lost

    very limited map detail, no geo-political, and no navigation
  • Finally

    The atlas I have been waiting for.
  • As an broad view Atlas

    This is only good for large generalized maps.
    If you wish to explore small towns and villages this app is incapable of doing. Only shows largest cities.
