Globe for iPad User Reviews

Free but too simple

It's a simple globe app. It's ok but would be 10 times better if they just added inertial scrolling to the globe.

Lots missing

All of the small islands of the Caribbean are missing. I know it's free, but if you doing a globe product, why omit so many things?

Needs update nice start but buggy

Keep getting error messages when selecting countries. Does not spin.....but needs to be dragged. Also tends go get off axis and hard to straighten. Also capitals or some city references would be helpful.

But great concept and as a free app have to applaud developer. Has some great potential.

No pacific island nations

This looked cool but then when I tried it some major flaws became obvious. No Fiji? No Micronesia? No Hawaii? The list goes on.

Come on.

A lovely clear, clean globe.

Thank you for providing this lovely globe - excellent for teaching geography and the relative positions of countries. Please don't be put off by the ignorant ingrates that don't apprecaite other people's kind efforts.

A few thoughts for future editions:

- islands and small countires seem to be missing, e.g. Balearics, Orkney, Shetland, Madeira, Canaries, Azores, Andorra, etc.

- would be nice if the Wikipedia window was wider.

- would be nice if there was an option to re-orientate the globe, and perhaps even rotate it on its axis.

Thank you and all the best.

Very hard to move

Globe is hard to move..upside down a loy

5 stars if the bugs are removed

I agree that this app is useless for people lacking intelligence, but for anyone with a thirst for knowledge, this app has the potential to be extremely useful and informative. Please try sorting out the bugs.

Nice, but too much is missing

A nice app that allows you to change perspective and see the world from all different angles, putting south or north pole in the center if you like. But things are missing are nicer skins, topographical information, and, most of all, countries! I doubt that people living in, say, Andorra or Lichtenstein, would be great fans of this app, since they would search for their country in vain...

Not bad

While fairly basic, it's nice that the app looks like a traditional globe. It would be great to have different skins/themes and to be able to resize the wikipedia pop out

Incredible amount of information!

I thought the interactive world globe was pretty cool. Then I used the search option; very helpful finding smaller countries. Quite by accident I tapped on a country, only to find the most incredible amount of information. Thank you so much for making this app. It is amazingly helpful!
