But not much detail. Not really even worth $2. You can easily find similar free maps on the internet. ### 3/5 — OK AS A BASIC WORLD MAP *2021-05-13, version 3.6* 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. ### 2/5 — Boo! Paid 4 full app, 1 new map *2020-05-15, version 3.3* 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😢 ### 2/5 — The App Should Not Cost Money *2019-07-16, version 3.2* 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. ### 2/5 — Needs more detail, and seem less transitions between areas. *2018-05-05, version 3.1* 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. ### 2/5 — Umm..? *2015-07-10, version 2.7* 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. ### 2/5 — So far, lacks versatility *2014-03-30, version 2.5* 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. ### 4/5 — Atlas use *2013-08-28, version 2.3* I love this app very much I use it quite often. It is an excellent tool for geography studies. ### 3/5 — First Time User *2013-08-06, version 2.3* Moving from one map sheet to another does not seem to be very intuitive😞 ### 4/5 — Not to shabby *2013-07-16, version 2.3* 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. ### 4/5 — Atlas *2013-02-19, version 2.2* Great! No more guessing about the true location of that country you were sure was "right over there!" ### 4/5 — It's Just Maps *2013-02-14, version 2.2* But I like maps. This app gives you some nice regional maps, an international time zone maps, and 2 world maps. It isn't Google Earth but if just want a quick look at a map to figure out what country borders another or some similar question, this app is better. If you want Google Earth get it, it's very nice too. ### 3/5 — David in Denver *2012-12-24, version 2.0* Very basic maps without much info. This app is OK, but could use improvements like major highways, conflict/civil strife notifications, and flags (among many other potential improvements). ### 3/5 — Need some improvements *2012-09-26, version 2.0* Some use but need improvements ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Very disappointed *2024-01-29* Difficult to navigate ### 1/5 — Not continuous *2019-09-21, version 3.2* I need to be able to continually scroll across the atlas. This is too segmented. ### 1/5 — Atlas 2018 Pro *2018-08-07, version 3.1* This App is garbage for the price. I don't know why I bought this. ### 1/5 — Very disappointing *2017-10-23, version 3.0* 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. ### 1/5 — Misleading, useless *2015-06-05, version 2.6* 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! ### 1/5 — What am I missing here? *2012-11-05, version 2.0* This could be the worst app ever! There is no detail to view. I was looking for something that would provide some detail offline, but this is not it. ### 1/5 — Not a good Application! *2012-04-25, version 2.0* This application has nothing to offer. It's almost the same as its free version. You cannot really zoom in to find any details. I do not recommend it at all! ### 1/5 — Buyer beware *2012-04-16, version 2.0* So disappointed. No detail Just a very big general underscore general map of the world. Also like others couldn't move off first page. Can I have my .99 back ????? ### 1/5 — Don't waste your money! *2010-09-13, version 0* This app gives you general, broad maps of the world and DOES show countries and states, BUT that's it!! It is totally WORTHLESS as an atlas. You cannot zoom into a US state to do any research and it shows nothing besides the name of the state and it's capital. If you are looking for a reliable, USEFUL atlas app, KEEP LOOKING!!!!! ### 1/5 — Okay if you are in the Third Grade *2010-06-23, version 0* This application works fine, if you are in the Third Grade and want to get the "big" picture of the world. However, if you are looking for an Atlas that will zoom in to give you a more detailed picture, keep looking. I am very disappointed with this application. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Review Atlas app *2024-02-11* Very useful in such small space of screen. Well organized for this type of use. ### 5/5 — Geography *2022-03-05, version 3.6* Great app for studying geography. Recommended. ### 5/5 — Great app *2021-08-18, version 3.6* Only app out there that provides offline worldwide maps without constant updates, re-downloading areas, etc. Fantastic app! ### 5/5 — A very dependable and useful app *2021-03-05, version 3.5* It’s my globe on the go. Have used it for years. Great for quickly figuring out just where a country is. ### 5/5 — Atlas User *2013-07-15, version 2.3* 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. ### 5/5 — Thanks *2013-04-20, version 2.2* Offers the world at our fingertips and for existing on such small devices is pretty well created. ### 5/5 — A good, quick mobile map reference *2013-04-13, version 2.2* I use this app whenever I need a quick, on-the-go map reference. It works well and is simple to use. ### 5/5 — Great! *2013-03-12, version 2.2* Easy to use, always at your fingertips. Granted, it is not too detailed but it pulls you out of tight spots quickly!! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2013-02-10, version 2.1* Easy to use and read ### 5/5 — Bad atlas *2012-09-30, version 2.0* This atlas is badly managed, you can not see much and you can not go back from area to area. In short this atlas is bad and doesn't worth it --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
