Secondly, the app locks screen locks screen rotation with the button at the right. I'm a lefty and prefer the button at the right. ### 4/5 — The reviews of this app are unnecessarily harsh *2014-02-15, version 2.3* Sure, there's no state lines and the ads are intrusive, but the app is fully functional and contains a world atlas, which is exactly what it advertises. ### 4/5 — Just what it says... *2013-09-09, version 2.2* ...and no more. For simple, quick map look ups it is fine. For deeper interest you have to go elsewhere. ### 4/5 — Helpful *2013-04-16, version 2.1* I like this app, it is very helpful, but to the holder and developer try to make it as quick updated as possible b'se some of the infos seem to be old and thus illerevant ! Otherwise it is so interesting and helpful ! ### 4/5 — It's a good app to get basic overview *2013-04-01, version 2.1* Continents are bit confusing. Some countries are shown common in different continents. It would be more educative if there is any option to view detail by tapping country name. ### 4/5 — Good free map *2013-01-07, version 2.0* I use it all the time. Wish it had a better resolution and details. ### 4/5 — More detail would make it better *2012-12-12, version 2.0* This app would be better if it had more detail but it is good for quick reference. ### 4/5 — Easy to use *2012-11-18, version 2.0* Could use a few extra special features but it's a cool free easy to use reference map ### 4/5 — Review *2012-11-09, version 2.0* I think is a great option if you want to know a general information. ### 4/5 — Not bad for quick reference *2012-10-15, version 2.0* The maps here are pretty good for quick referencing purposes, but it does not have an excessive amount of detail. It includes major rivers, major cities, and natural landmarks, like rivers. ### 4/5 — Dream Traveler *2012-06-29, version 1.9* Nice to be able to locate where at least my mind has been. ### 4/5 — Very nice graphics *2012-06-24, version 1.9* Professional presentation and easy to use. ### 3/5 — Easy to use--was hoping for more detail *2012-06-08, version 1.9* Easy to use--was hoping for more detail ### 4/5 — Helpful App *2012-05-16, version 1.9* Just wish there was a little more content, but the countries are all there ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — How can you learn? *2016-02-22, version 2.5* I was doing some homework and I needed an atlas. I downloaded this app to look for the Atlas Mountains in Africa. Guess what? THERE NOT EVEN ON THE MAP! They really need to add more important stuff on these maps. You can't learn anything if the information does not even exist on the thing you are looking at. Very disappointed. ### 1/5 — Ads kill this app *2013-09-11, version 2.2* Ads are too large, and cannot be dismissed or minimized in order to see the atlas. Waste of time. Maps looked okay, but I was unable to explore much because of the ads covering up the content. ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2013-06-18, version 2.1* This application lacks the basics to attract anyone to a full version. It can not adjust the map zoom as desired by user. So basically you see the map the away the developer thought you want to see a zoom, but not your way. It is not what I expect from an application for an iPhone. ### 1/5 — Too basic *2011-08-27, version 1.6* After looking at the free version I'm skeptical about paying for the pay version. Maps are too basic. Not very many details on maps. Zoom feature is terrible. Needs much more info to be cool. ### 2/5 — What going on? *2014-02-20, version 2.4* The maps are simple but adequate. What's going on with ads? I PAID FOR THIS APP AND I STILL GET these obnoxious ads. I would not have bought this app knowing this. Very annoying!!!! ### 2/5 — Almost useless because ads intrude *2013-07-23, version 2.2* The ads take up too much screen real estate. Plus, you must remain in landscape mode. (Portrait is unavailable.) ### 2/5 — Top *2013-03-31, version 2.1* Useful but would be better if we could scan across the continents around the globe instead of just one area. ### 2/5 — Average person *2012-09-16, version 1.9* Would have rated much higher but can't loose the ads, always taking space on the screen. ### 2/5 — Not worth it, even free *2010-03-09, version 0* I hate to bash something free, but it starts by asking you to upgrade to the .99 version all the time, and has ads on every page. So it's free, but at an annoying price. Plus, even once I did upgrade to the "Pro" version, the maps were very simple and limited to just individual areas. Not much better than just having some jpgs on your ipod. If you wanted to go from North America to Central America, you have to exit the program and start over. I think there's got to be something better than this for the amount of hard disk space it consumes. I'm going to keep looking. ### 3/5 — It is just okay *2023-11-30* I hoped when I downloaded this that it could search major cities of the world not just capitals.. I really only actually need a directory of cities of the world and basic info about them.. no need for map ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Happy to have it😃 *2013-09-13, version 2.2* This is a great tool for school projects on countries which is why I got this app ### 5/5 — Prayer Warrior *2013-07-21, version 2.2* I am going to use this map in my prayer journeys with praying for a different country every day! I will educate myself much more in learning the geography and be better able to relate to those I am praying for. The app is great! ### 5/5 — Review *2013-07-13, version 2.2* Very helpful. Great tool! I hope for a little more detail in the future. ### 5/5 — Good *2012-12-31, version 2.0* Was good for the needs I needed/ quick location altitude latitude. Sorry to these who wanted more derailed app. ### 5/5 — Great! *2012-12-29, version 2.0* This app rocks!! I always have some sort of map that I have to fill out the countries and cities and this app is just what I was looking for!! This is the best atlas app you can find that is actually free!! If there were more cities maybe then that would just put it over the top!! ### 5/5 — Useful *2012-11-14, version 2.0* Great for quick reference. ### 5/5 — Maps *2012-10-22, version 2.0* It has all basics down. Excellent app. ### 5/5 — Cool. *2012-06-17, version 1.9* One of those things you have no idea how you did without! ### 5/5 — Pretty handy *2012-03-09, version 1.9* I like it a lot! It's really helpful ### 5/5 — Very good atlas *2011-05-10, version 1.5* Excellent atlas, especially since it is free. Ads don't intrude at all. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
