iOS 11 broke this great app.

I have it on an iPad Pro and it was 5 stars until IOS 11. Now all it gives me is a warning from Apple that it needs to be updated. I hope the developer returns and updates it just enough so that it will run.

Not useful

How is this useful if it's missing a continent.

Where is Antarctica?

People are saying it's great, but if its not accurate, how does that make it great?

You cannot teach if it's inaccurate.

I understand some of the complaints (I get it, it's free) but, if your going to make it then make it work.
