I tried deleting the app, but the problem was not fixed. I am unable to play the daily mode at all! ### 3/5 — Version 2.2 Inaccurate distances *2023-03-11, version 2.2* Love the new interface but now the distances between countries and the nearest border is off by sometimes a couple hundred miles. ### 2/5 — Problems *2023-03-09, version 2.2* I love Globle and have previously used this app on and off. I opened it today after some months of minimal use, and I was wondering if it was even the same app because of the changes and issues. I’d be okay with changes in general, but … I agree with the keyboard being frustrating. Just let me use my iOS keyboard. The backspace, return, and space options are all in the wrong place. It also has filled in a ton of guesses already for the “daily” even though it has been a while since I’ve opened this app. In addition, it didn’t recognize the countries of Libya and Turkey. I double-checked spelling and even tried the official “State of Libya” name. Still didn’t work. Unsure what happened since previous updates to make these changes/issues, as I used to enjoy the app without an issue. ### 2/5 — Fun, but new UI makes it hard to play *2023-03-09, version 2.2* This game was so fun until about 2 days ago. The updated interface makes it really hard to play. Your guesses are now hidden, the field to type in is imaginary, the delete button is on the wrong side of the keyboard. I was having so much fun with the game, learning world geography better. Please update to a more user-friendly UI!!! ### 4/5 — Distance *2023-03-03, version 2.1* It looks like it updated with great new graphics but the distance to the mystery country is missing? That was a big part of the game. Please bring it back ### 3/5 — There’s a glitch *2023-02-26, version 1.5* I have been enjoying this game for a few weeks now but twice I have run into a glitch. I get clues that the country I am trying to find is say 240 miles away and I am in South or Central America. Then I come to find out the correct guess is a country in Africa or Europe. So, what’s the deal. It happened twice! It’s a glitch someone should fix because it’s pretty frustrating. ### 4/5 — I really love this game! *2023-02-23, version 1.5* I’m a geography pro , and I love a good challenge. It’s really fun to come back to it very day. The only one thing that could be better, is how fast it zooms in. I enjoy the game otherwise. ### 3/5 — Pretty good *2023-02-17, version 1.5* I overall think that Globle is a good game especially for learning better geography but I think they need to add features like in the website where it says play again ### 4/5 — Great game *2023-01-24, version 1.5* It is a good game but I’m not giving it five stars because you have to come back every day and I wish you could do as many times as you want but overall it’s great ### 4/5 — Fun *2023-01-24, version 1.5* Useful to play while I learn what I don't know ### 5/5 — An Education! *2022-12-23, version 1.5* I LOVE Globle! I hear about these countries in the news and now I can picture where they are! This would be great to require in Social Studies classes. ### 4/5 — Why no new world? *2022-12-21, version 1.5* I like this game and play it with my family every day. However after playing for months the country of the day has never been in the americas. Seems odd. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Eh *2023-03-18, version 2.2* It just keeps asking for african countries almost never asks for european nations, ### 1/5 — Rollback to previous version *2023-03-13, version 2.2* The updated version is terrible. Rollback to the previous version. ### 1/5 — Don’t like it now! *2023-03-10, version 2.2* My family has been playing this for about 4 months every day. We have a competition with about 10 of us. Since you changed it a few weeks ago most everyone has dropped out. PLEASE put it back the way it was! ### 1/5 — Not loving the new version *2023-03-06, version 2.1* Old version was great. ### 1/5 — Very much dislike the new update *2023-03-02, version 2.1* New interface is annoying to use with hiding the distance. Deleting app and will hope that a new update gets this fun game back to where it was. ### 1/5 — Terrible Update *2023-03-01, version 2.0* The update is all around awful. The keyboard is backwards to how most people are used to it, doesn’t use the system’s anymore so normal autocorrect doesn’t work. Hints are auto on Countries guessed requires a tap to view the closest border. I’m not a fan of the new interface and will not use the app while these are the only options. ### 1/5 — meh… *2023-02-14, version 1.5* the user interface is awkward, the graphics are infantile, and the user feedback is not intuitive; not worth time invested to download and attempt to understand the game. ### 1/5 — Why cats meaw *2022-12-06, version 1.5* It has to stop just stop no it’s a great game amazing game ### 1/5 — Boring *2022-12-03, version 1.5* Lack of creativity; “invalid” if not spelled perfectly in English. “Suggested” country should pop up if spelling is close. This would at least make it bearable to play if you’ve got a few minutes to spare. ### 2/5 — New Update is Bad *2023-03-17, version 2.2* Loved Globle. The new update is horrible. Today’s answer was Mongolia. I guessed india and it said it was within 10 miles / 20 Kilometes. So I guessed bordering nations to find overlap. Took almost 15 guesses cause anything I put down it said it was within 10 miles. Will not be playing anymore. Really disappointed in whoever decided to update and broke the app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — AMzinf *2023-03-09, version 2.2* this is an amazing game. this game has changed my life for the beyyyer. i’m more motivated i sleep better i have a loving husband and 5 kids. ### 5/5 — Great learning fun . At 77 I’m relearning the world. *2023-03-08, version 2.2* A ### 5/5 — I’m learning geography *2023-03-08, version 2.2* I really am ### 5/5 — Moe *2023-03-06, version 2.2* Great way to learn geography and travel the world in my mind. ### 5/5 — Almost like the online version! *2023-02-22, version 1.5* I downloaded this app because I love the online version and i wanted something to play offline. This is almost exactly like the online version but I do have a few suggestions. On the online version, it tells you the correct spelling of the country or suggests countries that match what you typed in if it’s incorrectly spelled. This one just says “invalid guess” so sometimes it’s hard to know if it’s considered a country or just spelled wrong. Also, the online version tells you if the country you guessed is touching the mystery country, which is really helpful. This one doesn’t and it you have to guess based on color. Another thing is more color options, I like playing in black and white, but it took me a little while to figure out how to change that. Overall, this is a really great app and I am so happy that I can play my favorite online game whenever I want. ### 5/5 — Fun Family Game *2023-02-22, version 1.5* I love it ### 5/5 — Do not have the most recent version *2023-02-15, version 1.5* Friends have the version that gives the player a general direction to go. Mine doesn’t. ### 5/5 — Fun and educational. *2023-02-10, version 1.5* I have enjoyed playing Globle each day. My son is a geography expert and we frequently challenge each other and share our results. This has been a fun way to learn areas and countries that I am less familiar with. ### 5/5 — Very cool *2023-01-30, version 1.5* Pretty fun I guess ### 5/5 — Awesome b *2023-01-21, version 1.5* As a geography nerd I love this app. It’s simple and fun to play when bored, I highly recommend ! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
