### 4/5 — More Please?

*2026-09-06*

Great app and concept. Why the 5 a day limit? Im stuck in the airport for 2 hrs…

### 5/5 — Still Learning!!

*2026-08-20, version 4.16*

This is the perfect app! Learning geography I had long forgotten ( or never knew lol). It’s really fun and I play with a group of family members which is a little competitive. Also a great and little known story from history of each location.

### 5/5 — Greatest Daily Game

*2026-08-19*

This game has to be the best game meant to be played for a few minutes every day, even for people who aren’t into geography. The development team also does an outstanding job of delivering subtle but impactful updates. Most recently I enjoy the little blurbs about each location as you guess that replaced the generic feedback based on how close you guessed.

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2026-08-18, version 4.16*

Fun to learn geography, history and share/compete against family and friends in a lighthearted way!

### 5/5 — So much fun.

*2026-08-18, version 4.16*

Fun to play, especially in a group. Plus you learn where things are!

### 5/5 — I love this game!!! So helpful for learning geography

*2026-08-18*

Such great stories each day about a location that helps you get to know it.

### 5/5 — Great!!

*2026-08-18, version 4.16*

My favorite game of all time. Love the geography and the great stories that go along with it!

### 5/5 — Best app on my phone

*2026-08-17, version 4.15*

I love map tap. My friends and I play daily. The history tidbits are so interesting and well thought out. I love the glimpses into an interesting persons life. Not the ones your usually hear about either.

### 5/5 — Fun daily game

*2026-08-17*

Similar to geoguessr but instead of having a picture you just have the name of the city and the detailed map to click as close as possible to score the best you can with an increasingly difficult to find (as an American) set of locations! Most days are about the same difficulty and if you are passionate about maps I bet you’ll do great.

### 5/5 — Incredible App

*2026-08-16*

Map Tap features a blend of geography and history. The narratives are honest and informative without being preachy - in fact most have a nice touch of humour while still being able to shine a light on the challenges that the featured countries and peoples have faced. Well done. Pay the tiny bit extra and subscribe to the app.

### 5/5 — Inspiring

*2026-08-15, version 4.15*

Fantastic quick relaxing game. Especially like the nice short stories about amazing people or historical events linked to each place. They are uplifting, inspiring and written in just the right tone.

### 5/5 — Fantastic!

*2026-08-15, version 4.15*

This game is not easy, it’s humbling and adventurous and educational… Fantastic. I absolutely love this game and I’ve learned so much about world geography! And then you got a history lesson on top of it if you have time to read everything… Really great game. Thank you.!

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-08-15, version 4.15*

Best game ever

### 5/5 — Maptap

*2026-08-15, version 4.15*

Fun game

### 5/5 — Fun & learning

*2026-08-14, version 4.15*

Fun game, I learn something every day and the stories are fascinating and inclusive

### 5/5 — Every Day is a School Day

*2026-08-13*

I love the challenge, often a guess at where the places are. Sometimes I am just about spot on, other times I laugh at how far away I am from the town/city. But best of all are the daily information essays on each place. Love them! Great challenge which doesn’t take up a lot of time is the biggest attraction.

### 5/5 — I love it

*2026-08-13, version 4.15*

It’s so peak🥹

### 5/5 — Fabulous game!

*2026-08-12, version 4.15*

I love this game! I have learned so much geography, I love the short narratives, and it’s a fantastic way connect with of my friends. We often have a back-and-forth about the stories or someplace we have visited – and the game itself takes less than five minutes (like Wordle). Keep up the good work, designer!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Maps not optimized for mobile

*2026-08-11, version 4.15*

It is a fun game at times, but certain things like the flag daily game have a tremendous amount of repeats. In addition, it is nearly impossible to find and locate certain island nations on mobile. Needs a rework

### 1/5 — It’s frozen

*2026-03-22, version 2.16*

I just got the game and haven’t even gotten a chance to play it. It’s completely frozen. Won’t let me move the globe nor tap anywhere or open the menu. I deleted and redownloaded and still won’t work.

### 1/5 — Frozen

*2026-03-22*

Love the game but it froze on me. Even redownloading the app didn’t fix the issue. Had to cancel my subscription. Guess I’ll have to find a new game

### 2/5 — Repetitive locations

*2026-06-11, version 4.03*

I’m sick of seeing India, Mexico, and Japan show up every day. I wish the locations were a lot more varied and representative of the countries of the world and not just population.

### 2/5 — Basic

*2026-03-27, version 2.17*

Fun idea but so limited and you can’t even zoom into the map very much, it’s super blurry. Why would I pay more for a really cheap quality game?

### 2/5 — Glitchy

*2026-03-22*

Love the game but the app works maybe every other day.

### 2/5 — US nonsense again

*2025-12-06*

Halifax is a place in England. If you mean a place in the US you should specify, because if you don’t specify then it’s reasonable to assume you mean the original Halifax. Americans forget about the rest of the world.

### 3/5 — Hard

*2026-08-15, version 4.15*

Pretty hard for a kid

### 3/5 — Fix Your Clicking

*2026-08-14, version 4.15*

The amount of times it registers a selection of location when I’m just trying to move the globe around is absolutely infuriating and is leading me to delete the game…..and I like the game a lot

### 3/5 — Nice game - with scrolling problem

*2026-06-12, version 4.05*

Nice game to play with family and friends. Fast and interesting. Very annoyingly, every two or three games it mistakes scrolling for a pin drop with substantial point loss. There should be an easy technological solution to this issue. Unfortunately, the game does not use it. Three stars only.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — MapTap is brilliant

*2026-09-11*

It really helps me with geography and it’s just overall really enjoyable

### 5/5 — I love this game!

*2026-09-09*

I was skeptical at first because I am not great at geography. However, this game is the absolute best. I am challenging my brain to think through what I know to answer the questions (vs our instinct now to just quickly search anything up), I’m relearning geography, I’m very competitive so I love comparing the scores with my spouse, the app has so many great additional ways to practice and explore! On top of all that fun, is the best part- fun facts related to each location, I’ve learned about so many people who have changed the world in small and big ways. This game/app is actually the best. No in app purchases, no ads, just the best! 
I have sent it to my daughter’s teacher and he is using it in class as well. So great!  Thank you!!

### 5/5 — Fun and educational

*2026-09-06*

I’ve been playing MapTap almost every morning since December, and I finally downloaded the app last week. I enjoy the educational aspect, learning about not only where places are but the history behind them. I’m always a little shocked at my lack of knowledge of geography. I love the snarky remarks that you get every time you get a wrong location. A lot of thought goes into making this game, and I appreciate it.

### 5/5 — Go Ahead and Subscribe

*2026-09-05*

This game/quiz is so much fun. My son and I compete every morning and compare our scores - from 2,000 miles apart! It keeps my brain sharp, helps me stay aware of countries - large and small - all around the globe, and is super informative with stories that are breathtaking for their history, background, and subject matter. It my favorite few minutes of the morning. A five-star rating is not enough.

### 5/5 — Educational and fun!

*2026-08-31*

Excellent modern way to learn the globe.

### 5/5 — Good

*2026-08-30*

Also good

### 5/5 — Best game ever

*2026-08-27*

No need to elaborate, really - but such a brain-sharpener, and we have learned about so many fascinating lives and moments in history through the daily stories. We’d be bereft without it.

### 5/5 — Ray

*2026-08-25*

Fun, reveals how much don’t know about many continents.. but has created a robust family rivalry

### 5/5 — Factual and interesting

*2026-08-23*

Only played this app everyday since downloading… the facts lure me back everytime

### 5/5 — Become knowledgeable

*2026-08-21, version 4.16*

Learning where countries really are
