## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Uhhh

*2024-06-30*

There's too less countries in this game, and Puerto Rico nor Greenland are countries

### 1/5 — Error

*2022-06-26*

The Malvinas (Falklands) are not a country in South America. This island is disputed for Argentina and UK.

### 1/5 — Needs more plus antisemitic

*2020-09-12*

Inaccurate and a stench of antisemitism to leave Israel out. I was expecting more, like animals found in the country or culture about the countries. Maybe NatGeo has an app for that.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2020-08-07*

I can’t place Haiti

### 1/5 — INACCUTATE!!!

*2019-02-09*

It’s one thing when there are bugs, but a completely different problem when the information being taught to young children is wrong. For instance, the country of Israel is labeled Palestine.

### 1/5 — Would be 5

*2018-08-01*

If this worked better would be great app but glitchy

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2018-04-18*

The app doesn’t respond to touch. You’re trying to move countries around and it won’t pick them up. 

Useless.

### 1/5 — Adding the side menu of apps broke it

*2017-08-28, version 1.2.3*

Since the latest update, you can't play the game properly because when you pick up a country at the edge of the screen the stupid huge new side menu thing promoting the other Montessorium apps comes up and pulls across, obscuring the map.  That should only be accessible from the world map home screen (or, you know, not at all because it is a really ugly and clumsy way to promote other apps), not while you are playing a level.  So yeah, now my kid can't play the game any more because no one bothered to test playing this version before releasing the update.  Nice going.

### 1/5 — Very first activity won't work on my iPhone 6s

*2017-05-13*

Tried to drag and drop Australia into place. Doesn't work. No further instructions offered.

### 2/5 — Could be good but very buggy

*2018-03-05*

Please address the bugs, crashes, content overlaps, can’t draw lines to connect countries - iPad Pro

**Developer response:** Hey! Thanks so much for the feedback. We really appreciate it. We're submitting a new build that should fix any issues. Thanks again for your support.

### 5/5 — Such a beautiful game

*2024-12-30, version 1.4*

Me and my kids love this game. It’s very good at making you remember where all the counties are. We really joy this game. Would be nice to include the capitals too.

### 5/5 — Mauritania flag

*2020-11-27*

Hello, Montessorium.

I wish to bring an issue to your attention concerning the flag of Mauritania. In 2017 the flag was altered with the addition of red stripes at the top and bottom, but these stripes are missing in the app. Could you please change it to include these stripes? Thank you!

### 5/5 — Brilliant Method!

*2017-08-09*

Very impressive method of learning!!!  Outstanding!!  We love learning geography using this app.  It is perfect.

### 5/5 — Beautiful

*2015-09-18*

I've been searching for such an app for my nephew. The levels are interactive. Nice little animations. Get it!

### 3/5 — Needs Captioning

*2019-10-30*

This is a good, visually clean app, but it needs captioning to visualize the country names. Deaf children need access to learning apps too and many rely on audio. This one could work for Deaf learners as well with captions.

### 3/5 — Bugs

*2017-12-19*

This app needs an update! It crashes, it freezes, & it also refuses to acknowledge touch. .. however, we did enjoy this app before it's mishaps. Please resolve.

### 3/5 — Good, but many areas could be improved

*2015-09-20*

This app uses just enough repetition to be a useful learning aid, but the app itself is clunky and not terribly intuitive.

- app is laggy and slow to respond to taps

- country outlines should be shown in relative sizes

- country names should be pronounced more like native pronunciation "oo roo guay" instead of "yer a guay," for example

- the map coloring is tedious. Perhaps a click to fill in the maps could be an option

- navigation of the app is not inuitive. Why have points along the line if you can't skip them? 

- the sounds and voices i. This app are verrrry sleep-inducing. I wouldn't want cartoonish voices, but a little more energy would be nice

### 2/5 — Horrible-says compatible w iPhone 4 -it's not

*2015-09-15*

Specifically says its compatible w iPhone 4s but when you download the app it says it's only comparable with iPhone 6
