Been working flawlessly! Re: Black screen! *2026-08-26, version 4.3.3* UPDATE!!! I’ve been playing daily for over a month with NO errors! I just might consider going pro! **UPDATE: After 30 pages of “support” I found the black screen help & NONE of their instructions even exist in “settings” where they said to fix it!!!!** 70% of the time I try to play the free daily game it’s only a black screen! IF this game worked MOST of the time I’d consider subscribing. NOPE! ### 1/5 — Greedy developers *2026-08-24, version 4.3.2* Used to play this game all the time now but now that you see streamers play it they think it’s acceptable to put practically whole game behind a paywall ### 1/5 — Paywall ruined everything *2026-08-24, version 4.3.2* Used to be a fun game that allowed you to learn about new places. Now all of the regular game is locked behind a paid subscription. Ridiculous. It's also very difficult and confusing to navigate the app now. The very little that is free is timed (5 rounds, 2 minutes each), as in you have to guess the location in that time, not just have the map freeze after it like it used to be. So there is more time pressure, which is not fun. Bummer. I really liked this app in its original version, but I will likely be deleting it due to the bs paywall that makes it unusable. ### 1/5 — Awful *2026-08-23, version 4.3.2* You now have to pay 47 buck a year to play anything other than the daily challenge, don’t bother ### 1/5 — This game is bad! *2026-08-22, version 4.3.2* Play because I can only play the daily ones because apparently if you wanna play you have to pay money so that’s dumb ### 1/5 — Geoguessr being too expensive needing money *2026-08-22, version 4.3.2* Everything cost money ### 1/5 — A GREAT GAME NOW DESTROYED *2026-08-22, version 4.3.2* I used to play this game and it was so Meta as they say, and it felt like getting dropped from Google Earth, and the options were very simple and there wasn’t much to it, which was part of why I love this game and now it is pop-up trash history trivia about flags and BS. Why did you destroy the one thing that was amazing and wonderful? Pls fix. ### 1/5 — Joke *2026-08-21, version 4.3.2* £5.99 PER MONTH, no chance. ### 2/5 — Loved when it was free *2026-08-20, version 4.3.2* I’ve been playing Geoguessr for years now and recently the app has removed the levels section, and now I can only play the daily challenge. I don’t know if this is a matter of app glitch (hopefully) or greed and charging unnecessary money (likely but unfortunately) but either way it sucks that you’re only limited to a couple of rounds a day now. I was at level like 80+ :( ### 3/5 — Bring back levels *2026-08-20, version 4.3.2* The game is not nearly as fun since levels was removed. ### 1/5 — Terrible Paywall *2026-08-19, version 4.3.2* It’s a really fun game I enjoy on my pc and it’s free on steam with no subscription but mobile version does for some reason require a subscription to play literally any mode but one match of daily challenge. Kinda killed it for me ### 1/5 — Used to love it till you had to pay to look at the app *2026-08-19, version 4.3.2* I played it everyday for hours now you can’t play more than 3-4 games without having the payed version. Bs ### 1/5 — Cheaters = waste of money *2026-08-17, version 4.3.2* It's fun until you face off against cheaters and realize there is no recourse- It's a game for masochists. You're spending almost $50 a year to lose to people who have no moral qualms against googling street signs or using scripts. DO NOT waste your money and time with this game, I sincerely regret taking it seriously and plopping down the $48. The only way to win is to keep your money in your pocket. ### 1/5 — Removed the free mode and force a £5+ a month subscription to guess a Google map image *2026-08-17, version 4.3.2* if you enjoy looking through menus with constant pop ups to pay monthly for a basic game download this! ### 4/5 — ‼️ *2026-08-17* O jogo é muito bom, mas a categoria de “levels” parou de funcionar e era a minha primeira preferida ### 1/5 — Paid *2026-08-16, version 4.3.1* It seems free but it is paid ### 1/5 — Paying $7+ a month takes all the fun out of a phone game. *2026-08-16, version 4.3.1* I don’t typically write reviews but this issue has me disappointed. I downloaded the game because I’m horrible at geography, did the daily challenge and really enjoyed it. Then I found I could not access any other function of the game because of paywalls. $7 a month or $50 bucks a year for a phone game that mimics the completely free Google earth app. You wanna play with friends? Hopefully they also budget for it. Don’t release a free game if the entire app requires a paid subscription. ### 2/5 — pay to play *2026-08-16, version 4.3.1* Played one game today and it wouldn’t let me play another unless I had a subscription. ### 1/5 — Bad activity with friends *2026-08-16, version 4.3.1* You have to pay in order to play with friends ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Money Grab *2026-08-30, version 4.3.4* No option to buy game or tokens. There are other free games, support developers and not greedy corporations. ### 1/5 — I wish I could put 0 stars *2026-08-30, version 4.3.4* You gotta pay money just to play ### 1/5 — Ruined it with the update *2026-08-27, version 4.3.4* Ruined the game by changing the levels to a daily challenge. Used to play every day but now I don’t because they ruined it. Also, lost all my progress, was on level 600 but when they updated it, it all reset. ### 1/5 — terrible update *2026-08-27, version 4.3.4* everything is costing money now it’s awful and distasteful. ### 1/5 — paywall, subscription service, email account required *2026-08-27, version 4.3.4* All of this for a game i remember from a decade ago. because of course a well over a decade old game that used to be free in the browser needs your email now and 3.99/month. this is just what things are now. ### 1/5 — They nerfed it *2026-08-27, version 4.3.4* They got rid of the unlimited plays on classic mode with levels. Thats the only reason I played. I’m not paying to play more than one game a day when I could drop a random pin on google maps and get the same joy out of it. Uninstalled ### 1/5 — Money grab *2026-08-25, version 4.3.3* Used to play this game everyday now you can’t do anything unless you pay a subscription. Absolutely ridiculous. ### 1/5 — Money hungry *2026-08-25, version 4.3.2* What a joke. Nose is getting a little large huh ### 1/5 — Jogo 100% pago *2026-08-25* quase 100% do jogo obriga você a pagar pra jogar, tinha que ter mais opções free pra quem tá começando. ### 1/5 — Shady developer *2026-08-24, version 4.3.2* Trying to make me think the only way I can login is through Google or Facebook is diabolical. Unless you hit the X to see the login via email. Also requiring a code to create an account is crazy spammy stuff too. You just know you’re gonna be on some leaked list eventually with these guys. Deleted the app right after that. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fun game *2026-08-27, version 4.3.4* For a while there, the game would not load the map they’re playing on the daily quest, it will just go to a black screen, but it appears they have fixed that bug. I do enjoy playing this. ### 5/5 — geofuesser *2026-08-08, version 4.3.1* geoguessr is fun to play ### 5/5 — Bobs 5-star review *2026-07-22, version 4.3.0* Geoguessr imo is just such a good game, highly recommend if you are a fan of geography or even just want to do something quick ### 5/5 — Fun and addicting *2026-07-18, version 4.3.0* Great for family games. Only one account paid and we can play party games. Simple but amazing idea. ### 5/5 — Black screen, no map *2026-07-16, version 4.3.0* I play the daily challenge for free and more than half the time when I launched the daily challenge there is no map. It’s just a black screen and the timer starts counting down. Why would I ever pay for this app when it doesn’t work? ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-07-11, version 4.2.6* This was great. ### 5/5 — 真好玩🥵 *2026-07-05, version 4.2.5* 我來自北韓🇰🇵 這遊戲是我玩過最好玩的遊戲🥰（請問翻譯有對嗎） 這遊戲讓我認識更多國家 但是就是沒有我住的國家 不知道為什麼😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 ### 5/5 — It will not let me sign in can anyone help me? *2026-07-02, version 4.2.5* Pls ### 5/5 — My review *2026-06-26, version 4.2.4* I love geography and I love this game ### 5/5 — 5 star but come across an issue *2026-06-24* Love this game. Ive come across an issue where I can’t submit my answer it won’t work the Haptic Touch sounds when I click on the tick but nothing will happen afterwards and even when it’s on a timer the game won’t end. I’m unable to submit an issue through the app so I’ve come on to here. Tia --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
