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? ### 3/5 — Explorers *2023-11-25, version 4.0.5* 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! ### 4/5 — 什么时候能开发中文版？ *2023-03-23* 求中文版！ ### 2/5 — No audio *2022-11-19, version 4.0.5* I was really desperate for this app but after paying why is there no audio??? ### 2/5 — 間違いが多い *2021-08-15* 久々に開いてみたら、写真や動画がなくなってます？ あと、南アフリカが東南アジアになっていたり、南極に北極海と表示されていたり、情報のメンテナンスがなされていないようです。 全体的に内容が薄くなり残念です。 ### 4/5 — Toller Atlas *2021-07-24* Super App für kleine und große Entdecker. Sehr liebevoll gestaltet. Das was mir etwas fehlt ist eine Möglichkeit, um die Zusatzinhalte (vorgelesene Texte und Bilder) komplett nachzuladen, damit man die App unterwegs offline nutzen kann. Und leider gibt es nur den Beginneratlas in deutsch. Ich hoffe, die anderen werden auch irgendwann noch übersetzt. Dann gibt es den 5. Stern. ### 3/5 — 音声と写真がオンラインに… *2021-07-22* 他の方も書いてますが、以前はオフラインだったのがオンラインのみになってます。でも別途ダウンロードでオフラインでも使えるようにしてほしい、以前は出来ていたのだから。 アプデだと容量は以前の2.11GBなんだから（今は新規にインストだと1GB）意図的にオンライン仕様にされても… と思う。 家はWiFiメインだからとキャリアの1GBからの変動パケにしてる人は危険。車中とかで子供が長時間プレイしてると料金が上がりそうなので、使用パケのチェックが必要。 ### 4/5 — Its very good *2021-07-14, version 3.0.13* The quality is very good and is very educational to kids, I recommend getting this for your kids to help them learn. ### 3/5 — No sound at all! *2021-06-14, version 4.0.5* I tried to redownload this app twice and tested on different iPhones, it still does have sound. Really want to fix this problem. Thanks ### 3/5 — Impossible to download packs *2021-03-20, version 3.0.13* I cannot download the packs it won't allow. ### 3/5 — 情報が少ない *2020-12-23* 普段、アプリダウンロードにお金をかけないのですが、あまりにも画像がキレイそうで、立体的なので、わくわくしながら610円でダウンロードしました。 自分で地球を動かすのですが、なんか世界旅行をしているような気分になります♬ しかし、レビューにもあった通り、情報量が少ない。 是非、今後もっともっと増やしていってください！ そしたらとてもいいアプリだと思います。 ### 4/5 — A fun app but very limited info *2020-10-28, version 4.0.4* 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. ### 4/5 — 4/5 *2020-10-12, version 4.0.4* This is an incredible app. It has taught me several new facts about geography. But unfortunately, I’m starting to notice that the app is a little bit broken. For example, some of the pictures on the Point Of Interests are not interactive. Otherwise, it’s a great app. ### 3/5 — Great app spoiled by factual errors and odd choices *2020-07-20, version 4.0.4* The app has a great design and is fun to use to get the kids interested in geography and world culture. But after finding several errors within minutes, I’m not sure how reliable the rest of information is. For example, Latvia’s currency is not Lat, it’s EUR since 2014, and Lithuania borders KalinINgrad Oblast, not Kalingrad. The old currency is listed as well. I’ve checked only a few European countries so far and am not sure the choice of highlights make sense. E.g. for Spain it shows Tower of La Giralda as a landmark. Why not Alhambra? It’s a world wonder even in Civilization. Not sure what was the train of thought behind some choices. The quizzes are also disappointing: it’s a choice between matching the flag and matching the shape. I have trouble having the kid to remember the capital cities (much more important information) and there seems to be no quiz for that. A lot of unrealized potential in this app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 11 to 13 years later *2025-12-09, version 4.0.5* Not inexplicable about people dead app but feedback zooming in on country’s that don’t have stuff but then adding would be cool just a minor piece of feed back jk awful app shorter summary awful love it bare foot question out dated problem update pls also i love Felix ### 1/5 — 11 to 13 years later *2025-07-23, version 4.0.5* Not inexplicable about people dead app but feedback zooming in on country’s that don’t have stuff but then adding would be cool just a minor piece of feed back jk awful app shorter summary awful love it bare foot question out dated problem update pls ### 1/5 — 11 to 13 years later *2025-03-26, version 4.0.5* Not inexplicable about people dead app but feedback zooming in on country’s that don’t have stuff but then adding would be cool just a minor piece of feed back ### 1/5 — Plz change the voice *2024-05-29* Why didn’t you change the British voice I said that in support I’m furious only 1 star for this achievement you’ve done yourself a bad reputation I hate it you don’t have a voice change button plz do something ### 1/5 — Pas au point *2021-04-06* La majorité de l’app en anglais, ce qui l’a rend inutilisable pour mon fils de 9 ans. Le reste est on ne peut plus basique... ### 1/5 — You say ‘Best wishes for the Barefoot Team’, right? *2020-12-12, version 4.0.5* 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. XX NO ADS XX. ### 1/5 — 音声と写真消えた *2020-06-29* かつて音声や写真があったとこが○で表示され消えている。ふとしたはずみにダウンロードしている動作があるが、いったんアプリを閉じて再び開くと消えている。試しにwifi切ったらエラー表示。パケ死の危険性があるのでフリーwifiの環境以外では使用してはならない。 追記:デベロッパーからの返答では音声や写真はいったんダウンロードしたらオフラインで使えるとあるが使えない。wifiを切ると雲マークが出る。ネットに繋がっている時にその都度ストリーミング再生される仕組み。 **Developer response:** Thank you for your additional message and sorry to hear that you are unable to use the content offline even when it's downloaded.

I’ve never experienced such a fail in an app. Wondering if I can get a refund. ### 1/5 — 앱의 완성도를 떠나서 가장 중요한 동해 표기 잘못 *2019-08-25* 동해를 일본해라고 표기하다니 이무리 잘 만들었다고 해도 최악의 앱 평점을 줄 수 밖에 없어요. 뭘 그런거 가지고 그러냐 하는 인간들은 제정신이 맞나 싶어요. 매국노들아. ### 1/5 — Inaccurate information for young minds. *2019-03-20, version 3.0.13* Starts out being fun and colorful for kids, but they soon question what they are seeing. We wrote in the past, pointing out a small truth. Cook Island dancers are NOT Tahitian dancers. They are Cook Islands dancers. Tahitian dancers are from Tahiti in French Polynesia, NOT the Cook Islands. We did receive a reply that this could be updated in a future app update. It wasn’t and the kids still aren’t happy. “If this is wrong what else is wrong.” ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 😀 *2024-08-25, version 4.0.5* 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 👍 ### 5/5 — YAAAAY *2023-12-02, version 4.0.5* ITS SO GUD YEEEEEEEEEEEE ### 5/5 — 小时候爱玩 *2023-09-30* 记得差不多十年前，小时候特别爱玩这个 ### 5/5 — could you add more pack *2023-09-19* such as dinosaurs pack，or something else，this app is very professional，i like it very much，thank all you guys **Developer response:** Hello, thanks for downloading the Barefoot World Atlas. As you will have noticed, we have added lots of contents to the new release but felt that the football pack was rather too specific compared to the rest of the content. We hope you can still enjoy the rest. Best wishes from the Barefoot Team! ### 5/5 — 关于背景音乐 *2022-04-04* 我很好奇此软件的背景音乐在哪里可以找到？在线等 ### 5/5 — Возврат средств *2021-10-08* Как вернуть средства? Я нечаянно купил это приложение по отпечатку пальца, а само приложение мне даром не нужно. Как вернуть средства и что вообще делать? Я даже не скачивал его:(( ### 5/5 — Taiwan!! *2021-06-04, version 4.0.5* Really happy your atlas respects Taiwan as a country. ### 5/5 — Great App! *2021-04-28* Love it all ... but how can I change the Language? ### 5/5 — Great app and now glitches! *2020-07-01, version 4.0.4* Now glitches on ipad 6 and a GRATE APP! ### 5/5 — Works beautifully.
