### 5/5 — UNREAL

*2021-03-17, version 1.8*

WHAT A GAME would 100% recommend I’m now god of flags!!!!!!!!

### 5/5 — Excellent little challenge

*2019-03-05, version 1.8*

A fun game, with a slightly irritating timer that doesn’t always seem consistent, but the challenge to beat your high score can be quite addictive.

### 1/5 — Still got ads even though i paid

*2019-02-26, version 1.8*

Still getting ads even when you are already paid

### 4/5 — Very fun BUT...

*2019-01-22, version 1.8*

The colours for correct and incorrect answers need to show for half a second longer, and I think they should be more noticeable; like the green or red colours taking up the entire box, rather than a small line at the bottom of each box.

### 1/5 — Hugely buggy

*2018-07-14*

Couldn’t even open the app to play, it just froze at the loading page each time

### 5/5 — Good fun and you soon improve

*2018-04-25, version 1.8*

Good

### 5/5 — Hello

*2017-11-21, version 1.8*

Love it
I have improved so much at the begging god I got a score of 8 and my most recent score was 46. Super fun and now I can show of to all my friends at school because they don’t know many flags
We also play this fun game where you have to list as many countries or capitals starting with a letter and I always win😋
Anyway awesome game I love it

### 4/5 — Simon

*2016-10-09, version 1.7*

It's a very cool and educative app; away from perfection only when it's integrated to the level of displaying the World Map, Capital, and the Name of the Country associated with showing the Flag!

### 4/5 — Very good ... but

*2016-06-20, version 1.7*

it would be even better if the correct answer were displayed a little longer after an incorrect answer, especially in the training mode.

### 4/5 — Highly Entertaining and Educational

*2016-04-30*

Great App to learn about different nations in the world. Is not a "5 stars App" because missed one very beautiful  island in the Caribbean, Puerto Rico.
