### 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.

### 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.

### 5/5 — My favourite game

*2014-06-07, version 1.7*

I love world flags, and this has helped me to become more familiar with them.

### 5/5 — Flagilicious

*2014-04-13, version 1.7*

A super addictive fun game. Learning flags and capital cities.

I like learning something everyday. This helps!

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2014-01-24, version 1.7*

Best game ever!!!!!

### 5/5 — I love this app!

*2013-12-21*

I absolutely love every flag on this game, I've learned so much that I've become obsessed ;w;

### 5/5 — Libby

*2013-10-26, version 1.7*

Best learning game out there

### 3/5 — Flag app

*2013-09-28, version 1.7*

Good app.
Does not show the selection you have made for long enough, so that if you chose the wrong answer, question disappears before you can see the correct answer

### 5/5 — Educational

*2013-08-22, version 1.7*

Fun way to learn

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2013-08-22, version 1.7*

I love this app, it is somehow addicting and fun to play while being educational :P. However, the current version makes it a bit hard to see the correct answer if the screen brightness is down.

### 5/5 — Lovin it!

*2013-08-19*

I'm actually planing on starting a blog about the origin of flags because of this game! Keep on improving and doing what you're doing

### 5/5 — 🇯🇵🇰🇷🇩🇪🇨🇳🇺🇸🇫🇷🇪🇸🇮🇹🇷🇺🇬🇧

*2013-08-08, version 1.7*

Lots of flags to learn... This is a great game for the daily commute

### 4/5 — Good overall

*2013-05-11, version 1.5*

This is a very good game that gets in your brain and you can't stop playing. The only thing I would say is that you should be able to earn more time by getting, maybe five correct flags in a row. But overall... Good

### 5/5 — Great game with room for improvement

*2013-05-09, version 1.5*

Training mode I've learnt every flag. Great learning.
New game mode rubbish with no real objective. Needs more time bonuses.
Addictive regardless

### 5/5 — Great game

*2013-04-07, version 1.5*

Very fun and has all the world flags, even South Sudan

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

*2019-02-26, version 1.8*

Still getting ads even when you are already paid

### 1/5 — Hugely buggy

*2018-07-14*

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

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2012-09-27, version 1.4*

Since iOS6 been released this game keeps crashing

### 1/5 — Total rubbish

*2012-09-22, version 1.4*

It would be a wonderful game if it worked. I score 100% in training, but when playing the game I get extremely low scores even though I tap the correct answers one after one within a second after the flag appears. Maximum I have the clock give me extra time only once, even though I tap quickly and do not make a single mistake!

### 1/5 — Wheres Taiwan ?

*2011-06-10, version 1.2*

Wheres Taiwan ?

### 1/5 — Fix crashes

*2011-01-24, version 1.2*

Please fix! Keeps crashing after one game.

### 2/5 — Fix the bug!

*2011-09-12, version 1.2*

Used to love this game, but it keeps crashing & it won't upload my highest score! Sort it out, it's so frustrating!

### 2/5 — Ok

*2011-01-25, version 1.2*

It's ok... Gets a bit boring though

### 2/5 — Good but a problem

*2010-03-23, version 0*

On mine whenever you try to view the high scores or you don't get one after a game it turns off. Please try and fix this as it is really annoying and time consuming.

### 2/5 — Good but.

*2010-01-24, version 0*

It freezes when finished game.

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.

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

*2018-04-25, version 1.8*

Good

### 5/5 — Hello

*2017-11-21, version 1.8*

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

### 5/5 — Effective no frills learning

*2015-12-22*

I can't stand the noise (visual and aural) on other flag websites.  This is clean, responsive and challenging. This is the most effective one I've found to learn the flags.

### 5/5 — Awesome game!!!
