Good.
Great app, but I would like to say that I strongly disagree with reviewer "Relium"'s opinion that geography is boring. I represented the state of Idaho in the 2012 National Geographic Bee, and geography is one of the most interesting subjects, and I'm sure National Geographic would agree. Another point, that's not how most teachers teach geography.

Good way to remember geography
Let's face it, geography is the most boring subject in school because teachers throw a map at kids and say "memorize it". With no deeper cognitive processes involved, kids forget nearly everything right after the test. By making a game of it, this app encourages kids not only to find geographical locations, but also to find them faster and remember them better.

Maps
Great app concept with the countdown and the target that shows warmer or colder as you move in on the map. It allows good learning as you get closer to the correct response. Real problems though in the game because you need to manage the game instead of building up your own skill. You have to guess how big you need to make the map before it will register your correct answer. It is not good enough to be directly over the capital of Michigan as Lansing. You have to be in close enough for it to count. Great concept - needs some more refinement.
