Such a good way to learn the geography of the world. To make it even better, please: 1. Allow player to save Countries as the default setting instead of States (gets annoying having to change it every time) 2. Add Capital Cities as another option of play. 3. In two-player mode, it would be more exciting if both players played exactly the same game. Otherwise, they might as well play on separate devices. Thanks. ### 2/5 — Schöne Idee, leider schlecht ausgeführt .. *2015-03-30* Vielleicht liegt es an der Übersetzung ins Deutsche? Ich werde aufgefordert "Georgia" zu suchen, tippe auf den US Bundesstaat, was als falsch gilt, denn gemeint ist "Georgien". Gefragt wird auf Englisch, geantwortet werden muss deutscher Karte ... so macht mir das keinen Spass. Schade. ### 1/5 — Won't add provinces *2015-01-07* The app crashed when I tried to add the Canadian provinces. ### 2/5 — Where is Aruba? *2014-12-05* Love the concept, and I think it is very useful and fun when learning countries. However, it does need a lot of updating. I feel it would be useful if it would actually tell you where the place is if you can't find it. It is also not as accurate as it claims to be. Although asked to find 'Aruba' it was not actually on the map, and 'Côte d'Ivoire' cannot be found because it is named 'Ivory Coast' on the map. I will be expecting updates in the near future... ### 2/5 — Almost useless for world quiz *2014-12-01* Perhaps good for US state capitals but not very good for a quiz of the world. Many smaller countries are not clearly outlined, and/or not clickable. Such as Grenada or many small island countries. Yet they are part of the quiz. So you can't win even if you know where it is! It would be useful if after three tries the country would be highlighted I'm Canadian. Canadian provinces are not shown. This would be useful for Americans. I almost gave it one star but perhaps American kids could learn about the US ### 1/5 — You had one job... *2014-12-01* This unfortunately smacks of American arrogance/ignorance like most geography or general trivia apps. Unless you're guessing the states on here you can, like most people, opt to find the countries. Trouble is.... Smaller countries such as Liechtenstein and St Vincent and the Grenadines... Just aren't there! They still want you to find them though! A comical omission for a geography based app- for kids too! "It's ok Kids, only the big countries matter." It'd be like maths quiz app without subtraction, because addition is better and who cares?. Or a history app with out the Vietnam war. ### 2/5 — Asks for countries that aren't on the map *2014-12-01* It asks for countries that are too small to be on the map because of the resolution, such as Grenada and British Virgin Islands. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Better before *2024-05-04* It was better before they changed it. I don’t know why the names are listed when you’re supposed to be trying to guess them… It’s terrible. ### 1/5 — Hate it *2019-07-06* So basic I want a refund ### 1/5 — Wrong geography *2019-03-25* Borders of several countries are incorrect. Learn your geography before teaching it to others! ### 1/5 — Hey... USA is NOT the centre of the world! *2019-03-25* ... Yes I did spell ‘centre’ right, just not the American way. Disappointing app. Your neighbours north and and south of your border have boundaries more than just “Canada” or “Mexico” just like America. Isn’t it about time you educate the American population about this? A missed opportunity, and very frustrating but now a challenge to you to step up. ... I also spelt ‘Neighbour’ right... just not the American way. ### 1/5 — Room for improvement... *2019-03-24* The dev has likely abandoned this game so this review may be of no use to them. For what it’s the worth, the hardware is capable of so much more than this. If it was some kinda of attempt at retro dos software I’d understand but it’s not. It looks and plays like this because of a lack of effort. Makes me wonder about App Store standards. ### 1/5 — Useless *2018-10-31* Oh dear! ### 1/5 — Anagram of carp *2016-02-07* Crashes Switching to countries is cumbersome Accurate tapping impossible, when you are asked to click on the Solomon Islands normal fingers can't ### 1/5 — Mercan quality map *2015-03-31* Developer spent time on the u.s. map, but drew other countries without the same interest. *Delete* ### 1/5 — Needs a lot of work *2015-03-30* Poor graphics, keep having to guess until you get it correct The concept for a school is good, but the execution is poor. ### 1/5 — Geo Dual *2015-03-29* u.s. - centre of the world. DELETED. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — So Fun! *2025-12-02* The world is a big place and we learn geography in school, but you know it's basically looking at maps and trying to memorize, but this game is really fun because you can set it at different levels and you can ask for different things . You can do it with someone else so it just brings an element of fun and surprise to it .I really liked it. I thought it was great. ### 5/5 — Great world trivia study game *2025-12-02* Great for practice and studying ### 5/5 — Puerto Rico Statehood! *2018-10-27* Thank you for your support to Puerto Rico Statehood! I notice in the game, search for “states”, Puerto Rico is requested as an US state. But when clicked it is marked ok and bad at the same time. Are USVI, Guam or NMI included? I play 400 correct answers and never find the other territories. ### 5/5 — Great world trivia *2015-08-09* Great for practicing the USA ### 5/5 — Makes learning fun *2014-12-01* Engaging and enjoyable way to learn geography. ### 4/5 — Puerto Rico *2019-09-16* Glitch. When I press on it, it marks it wrong. Please correct. ### 4/5 — Fails with Long Country Names *2019-04-04* The app is great, but when it displays a long place name like the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the name is truncated and doesn’t show the full name. Either the font size needs adjusted, a narrower font needs to be used, or the text needs to wrap to a second line for long names. ### 4/5 — 1 major issue *2018-10-28* Having fun refreshing my geography memory but why is it when I touch Puerto Rico in response to the prompt I get a red X for a wrong answer yet it says it is Puerto Rico? Even when I hit help to ensure correct answering it takes me to the island of Puerto Rico but I still get the red X. Irritating ! ### 4/5 — It's a good app but *2015-03-30* It crashes a lot. It's inconvenient that every time I start a game it shows up states but I prefer to do countries. Therefore I decided to delete States and when I launched a game, it crashes. Still, well done. ### 3/5 — Adew30 *2015-07-31* My second graders use this game and it is challenging, but the graphics need improvement. I would also like to see it keep score to provide better feedback to students and teachers. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
