😀
This app is cool I have also learned a lot something that would be cool for the app is an update because Malawi's flag is wrong so is Mississippi, Missouri, and Iraq I would also like some additional great cities but overall an amazing app and It is perfect for kids also the music is great 👍
No sound?
My 14 year old son so enjoyed this app 10 years ago. He absolutely loved the music and narration! Now my 5 year old would love to try it but there is no sound- have tried uninstalling it several times but nothing works- how do I get sound to work?
Explorers
The app is great.
There are a few explorers but I was hoping for more…Could you kindly add the following?
First I’d like you to add the big explorers eg. James Cook, Christopher Columbus Amelia Earhart etc. if you could do this this would make it an invaluable tool for schools. These key explorers are missing
Next, could you add a filter so it’s then possible to find the explorers easily.
Finally since we now need to think about diversity could you add some additional explorers eg. First wheelchair user to..and also important female explorers. These are important as they did not explore for greed or territory or religion, they did it to share universal human values so o think you should also honour them on the app
If you could add these features in the next two weeks I’d be so grateful as my fourth grade class are doing an explorers unit!
Thanks!

No audio
I was really desperate for this app but after paying why is there no audio???
Its very good
The quality is very good and is very educational to kids, I recommend getting this for your kids to help them learn.
No sound at all!
I tried to redownload this app twice and tested on different iPhones, it still does have sound. Really want to fix this problem. Thanks
Taiwan!!
Really happy your atlas respects Taiwan as a country.
Impossible to download packs
I cannot download the packs it won't allow.
You say ‘Best wishes for the Barefoot Team’, right?
You can tap on the picture. But you see the “Switch Label” button as well, it actually does nothing. It crashes every time. Sometimes glitchy. I completed the app so i dont need it anymore. I was gonna do something again but when i tried it crashed maybe its because i used a bit more than i should, they coulda updated it to kinda glitchy and stuff like that. I like the game is fun, but plz fix the bug.

Thank you for getting in touch with us about your experiences with the Barefoot World Atlas app. It would be really helpful if you could email us at help@barefootbooks.com with a screenshot of the issue as well as the details of the device and operating system you are using. With that information, we can then look into this issue further. Many thanks!
A fun app but very limited info
So Ok this is for age 4+, but my geography recall and knowledge of flags is so basic that the level was about right! I have used it so far to embed knowledge of relative positions of countries in Europe plus their flags, and now working around the globe. The information per country is just ridiculously limited. Basically one fact and a few stats. So don’t expect your children to learn much about each location. I downloaded Brittanica for that purpose (and there is always Google / Google Maps of course. Also, I would like to listen to my own music while browsing, but this app takes charge of the sound when it launches. Yes, I have switched off the music using settings / atlas. But there is no option to switch off the sound effects, which are annoying so have to turn the sound down when using it. It’s quite fun to use even for adults and I am sure that children must love it.

Thanks for your review of the Barefoot World Atlas. We're pleased to hear that you've been embedding knowledge of the European flags. The aim of the app is to allow children to explore a wide range of places which many customers seem to enjoy. We will look into amending the settings to allow you to be able to switch off the sound effects as well as the music. We appreciate you sending us this feedback. Many thanks from the Barefoot Team!
