Occasionally there will locations “off the beaten path” but it gets tiresome visiting the same countries over and over again. Branch out a little! ### 3/5 — SCAM! *2019-02-20, version 3.0* Love this game but after you buy it, they only give you 12 free levels. You have to pay for the rest. ### 2/5 — Good at first *2016-08-31* 4/5 locations are in the US in the same cities over and over again. Oh, and you have to pay for the next set of awful levels ### 2/5 — Scam *2016-06-14, version 2.10* Good game, but waste of money. Spent 2 dollars on the game, then had to pay extra for more levels and multiplayer doesn't even run ### 2/5 — Waste of money *2016-01-29* For a game which you can download for free or play free on the internet this is a total waste of money since you only get to play about 12 level until it asks for MORE MONEY. Do not buy this game if you care about value for money. ### 2/5 — Crashes *2015-12-24* App crashes everytime I try to connect to Facebook. I've had to uninstall and reinstall a couple time now. ### 4/5 — Great but... *2015-11-21* I love this game. I really do. I had to knock a star off because I accidentally pressed the button to connect to Facebook and now the app just crashes again and again. I have paid for all of the levels and am incredibly disappointed that I can't actually play them now. Huge issue. ### 3/5 — Good game, but... *2015-11-07* This game is awesome and I'm so glad it is mobile, but after paying $1.99 for the game, I shouldn't have to pay for every level pack after that. Especially since the photos are just from google earth and on the computer the entire game is free. Please fix this and stop being so greedy. More people will pay the one time price for the game if they know they won't have to pay in-app purchases for every level pack. ### 2/5 — glitch *2015-10-20* went to go play level 8, and it continually just shut down. I restarted my phone and everything. nothing works, very disappointed ### 1/5 — Great till the Crash 24 hrs later *2015-10-18* Loved it. Hope it works again. Very frustrated with it crashing everytime I load it less than 24 hrs after purchasing it (and gift purchasing it). FIX IT:( ### 1/5 — Wasted money *2015-10-08, version 2.10* I love playing this for the comp but I just bought and downloaded this (IPhone 5C) and it does nothing but crashes. Any fixes? ### 1/5 — Good game, doesn't launch *2015-09-10* Crashes on launch, can't play ### 1/5 — Crashes. Won't even start. *2015-09-07, version 2.10* Please fix the app. It crashes as soon as I open it. iPhone 6+. ### 3/5 — Buggy *2015-09-01* It's fun to play alone but I cannot connect with Facebook. It says "Loading your matches" then crashes everytime. ### 2/5 — Great game, but greedy too. *2015-08-03* I've already played the web version of this game and enjoyed it quite a bit so I was happy to pay $2.45 for the mobile version. What I'm not happy about is having to pay for more levels... There are 12 levels, which is a total of 60 locations before you have to go and buy more things. A very greedy and frustrating move by the developers. I hope this will be fixed in future updates. ### 2/5 — Good game but..... *2015-07-29* This game is good for anyone who likes geography, but after I paid for the game I got to level 15 then had to pay for more levels! Which is very stupid! Also I think the game should spread out more to the world and not 90% answers in the same country!! ### 4/5 — Love It! *2015-06-25* I love this game and play it all the time. However, I would love to play it horizontally at all times instead of having to turn it vertically to guess the location. ### 1/5 — Scam! *2015-06-06* Crashes and doesn't work. Has adverts and only 4 "free" levels that we have paid for... I want my money back! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Kein Bild funktioniert nicht *2019-08-29* Es wird kein Google Bild angezeigt. ### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht *2019-08-20* Mit wird von der App gesagt dass ich kein Internet habe und sie deswegen das Bild nicht laden kann, obwohl die Verbindung sehr gut ist. Bitte repariert es so schnell wie möglich ### 1/5 — Not the real GeoGuesser *2019-02-19, version 3.0* It has street names on the road. Stupid. ### 1/5 — Doesnt work at all *2017-11-12, version 3.0* All i can see is black screen. No photoes on any level and the poing in the ocean.

I would not advise getting it. ### 1/5 — Won't start *2016-12-27, version 2.10* I tried to connect to Facebook and now the game will not open ### 1/5 — Keeps crashing *2016-02-13* I want my money back ! ... This cost how much ? And I got a game that I can't even play !! ### 1/5 — Crashes *2015-12-18, version 2.10* Bought the game today for my iPad and it crashes every time I open it.

Crashes every time! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — What's with this games obsession with Boston? *2017-07-14* I'm only half joking by saying half the places in the 99 cents round are in Boston and there's 3 that are in the exact same spot in Italy. ### 5/5 — Such a fun game! You'll regret to miss it! *2015-06-16* 1. You will be able to enjoy all the real and exotic sceneries all around the world. 2. You get to learn some geography and cultures in a fun way. 3. It may help you to become a detective one day ;) It’s such a fun game and I'm totally addict to it! ### 5/5 — Great app! *2014-08-01* More than a game... Great test of observation skills. Tougher scoring would be nice though. No full score unless you are within a 100 yards/meters! I have no crash problems on my iPad. ### 5/5 — Very fun game for the person who likes searching for clues! *2014-03-01* Very fun game for the person who likes searching for clues! The game drops you in the middle of an unknown location, and you have to cruise around in Google Maps looking for tips to aid you find your location. Forget Waldo and Carmen Sandiego; where in the world are you!? ### 5/5 — Awesome *2014-01-24* I really like this game, it's fun awesome and addictive. If you are in to geography than you will love this game! And I am sure you will love it even if you don't love Geography. So, awesome and great game, if you are reading this review, THEN DOWNLOAD THIS GAME. ### 5/5 — Loads of fun *2014-01-19* Would be nice to have the option to have completly randomised locations like the online version, but otherwise, 5 stars ### 5/5 — Great! *2014-01-17, version 2.10* Beautiful design and a lot of fun! ### 5/5 — Very good app!! *2013-12-19* This is a great, fun game definitely worth a try! Seems to be underrated and unfairly unknown. ### 5/5 — Cool! *2013-12-11, version 2.04* I'm Here Cause Of Yogscast 😂 ### 5/5 — Awesome *2013-12-03* This game really tests your skills --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
