### 5/5 — iWorld Geography: Canada

*2025-08-31*

Learn about the provinces and territories of Canada!

### 2/5 — Not worth the money

*2020-05-15, version 1.2.6*

I bought this app and would not recommend it based on the following feedback:

Puzzle 
-When you drop in the puzzle pieces it should say the name of the province
-When the puzzle piece goes into the correct spot is should play a chime sound

Label:
-It should say the province name of the pin
-When the pin is correctly placed it should play a chime sound

Capital:
-It should say the name of the capital pin
-When the pin is correctly played it should play a chime sound 
-The capital of Ontario is Toronto not Ottawa

Question:
-When you select the incorrect province it should prompt you to try again - not just give the correct answer 
-By allowing the child to try again they can better learn which province it is for next time

The touch and watch sections are perfect as is.

I think if the items listed above were used to fix this app then it would be really great!

### 1/5 — Simple and expensive

*2016-08-01, version 1.0.2*

$2 would have been more reasonable.
 Also, Ottawa is the Capitol of Canada, Toronto is the capitol of Ontario. #oops
