Review Atlas app

Very useful in such small space of screen. Well organized for this type of use.

Very disappointed

Difficult to navigate

Very basic maps

Ok for seeing where countries and a few cities are located as well as get sense of some basic physical geography. But not much detail. Not really even worth $2. You can easily find similar free maps on the internet.

Geography

Great app for studying geography.
Recommended.

Great app

Only app out there that provides offline worldwide maps without constant updates, re-downloading areas, etc. Fantastic app!

OK AS A BASIC WORLD MAP

This app has been on my iPhone since I got the larger screen models like my current 6S+. It’s a quick reference for a check of where countries and major cities are world wide. Additionally the rendering of topographical features is good to know since the topography of a country or region often shapes its human history. Example is Iraq versus Iran. Iraq is largely a ‘flat’ territory where Iran is more mountainous.

I give this app only 3 stars because it’s a Swiss Army Knife (SAK). Well constructed for a quick geography lesson or context in the relative placement of nation states. BUT...ill suited for any rigorous study of national state boundaries within world geography.

I’ll keep this app on my iPhone cuz my (2) different model SAKs are still handy in a drawer if I misplace my more versatile multi-tool.

A very dependable and useful app

It’s my globe on the go. Have used it for years. Great for quickly figuring out just where a country is.

Boo! Paid 4 full app, 1 new map

I have had free version for awhile, it's great. I was impressed with offline capability. Finally decided to buy the full version hoping it get more maps with more details. Nope!🤔 Got only one new map, nothing great. Disappointed😢

Not continuous

I need to be able to continually scroll across the atlas. This is too segmented.

The App Should Not Cost Money

In fact, it should be free. It’s a very general source of information and does not allow a user to dig into specific locations or even regions. I’m pretty disappointed with the lack of depth.

Atlas 2018 Pro

This App is garbage for the price.

I don't know why I bought this.

Needs more detail, and seem less transitions between areas.

Needs to be an all in one globe that can zoom in. I paid the $1.99 dollars for the “more detailed”, and I did not find it to be that much more detailed. It will be much better if one could see the land from one region to the next without having to tap on a different area. The old National Geographic world Atlas has it right, but they have stopped updating it. I use maps like these not only to teach, but to give perspective to others about where my country/state is, and vacations as well.

Very disappointing

This is the Pro version of World Atlas. The maps provided are rudimentary at best with almost no enhanced detail with zooming. Definitely NOT worth the money.

Umm..?

Real laggy an always crashes.
Needs more information like roads cities and stuff like that. To plain and regular for a paid app. There's one dollar that went to the wind.

Misleading, useless

I wanted an Atlas, something I could use to assist with trip planning. This app is useless for that. I don't know how they can get away with calling these detailed maps. I didn't look at the rest of the world but for the state maps in the United States the most detail shown is the boundaries of the state with a few of the cities names within that state. There are no interstates, highways, or roads of any kind. If you try to zoom in on a city the dot just gets bigger, no maps of cities. Don't waste your money!

So far, lacks versatility

Upon opening, I had the choice of political or physical map. I chose physical but now I see no way to switch to political. This is a badly needed upgrade.
The map, itself, is clear enough for general use, but lacks real detail.

Atlas use

I love this app very much I use it quite often. It is an excellent tool for geography studies.

First Time User

Moving from one map sheet to another does not seem to be very intuitive😞

Not to shabby

It's a great tool to learn your geography. Only problem is the stars do not necessarily mark the capital cities but the biggest cities such as with Mayanmar.

Atlas User

Like many Americans, I'm embarrassed by my ignorance of world geography. That's why I refer to this app repeatedly. Not a detailed atlas, this app quickly helps to locate little known countries.
