  • Great app

    This is a good set of maps for learning geography & great for following along while watching international news. Don't give them a bad rating. If you want details, just click in the nation. If you want street details, then buy a garmin or city/state map.
  • My Go To App for Travel or Just Good Information

    Been using this app for years. All good current information; I don't know what the complaints are about. Sure, more details are available, but for a quick update, this app is best.
  • Don't buy unless your 6 years old!

    Waste of money. I needed an atlas with a much higher degree of detail. This is for little kids. No detail at all with the slightest zooming in. Repeat don't waste your money, I want mine back!!! I bet the 5 star ratings were written by the App makers!!!
  • Total waste of money!

    I'm kicking myself for being such a sucker as to buy this app. NO DETAIL!
  • One of my favorite iPad apps.

    Of all the iterations of the CIA World Factbook I like this one the best. Maps and layout look good on the iPad.

    Update 12 Jun 12.......still one of my favorite iPad apps. Yes, maps are high resolution and render a little slow on the new iPad, that's a lot of pixels. Of course there's not enough map detail to go driving...that's not what it's for. It's perfect for the presentation of basic maps and CIA World Factbook data. 6 stars if I could.

    Update Oct 14......still love it. Hope it continues to be updated.....

  • Perfection!!!!

    Perfect app and complements my other geographic apps perfectly. Beautiful job!!! Exactly what I wanted and needed in a map and geographic information!! Runs so smoothly!!!

    I LOVE this app. I don't have room for many of my apps, but no matter how little space I have, I will not give up this app. I am learning a ton, and the maps are GORGEOUS!!!!

  • Great Map

    I love this app & I use it quite often. When I am reading about a region I like to go and take a closer look at it. This works perfect for that. It gives so much good information about each area too. I have & continue to recommend this to other users.
  • A wonderful atlas

    I have been using this atlas for a couple years of college. It's good and I have no problems with the speed or details like some other reviewers.
    You really can't compare it to other atlases for the iPad since NONE of them have vector maps. These are in a class by themselves. If you are a geographer, you know what I mean.
    If you are looking for a good atlas, this one will not disappoint.

  • nice maps, poor usability

    I use this software while reading history books. When I go to the internet to look something up while I'm reading, and then go back to this app, it is back on the opening map of the world. You have to hit search and retype the area of interest and wait for it to load again and recenter it to where you had it. VERY ANNOYING.

    It is true that the maps are pretty.

  • Disappointing: slow maps, no detail level

    Other review stating "professional quality maps" is a joke. OK, it functions as an atlas with offline access to CIA factbook data. Not that useful when traveling and certainly not enough map detail to even reliably plan travel. On top of all that, the world-level vector maps are very slow to redraw-- the apps's FAQ says this might be slow on some devices. Hey, this says it was designed for ipad and i'm running on the newest model. Sorry use of my four bucks.
