### 1/5 — Won’t open

*2025-10-04*

Just tried to download this app but it closes immediately when you open it.

### 4/5 — Good

*2017-03-25, version 3.20160816*

This is the first thing that I have to get to my own destiny

### 5/5 — 5 Stars

*2015-08-30, version 2.20141029*

Good buy.

### 4/5 — Pretty good👍🏻

*2015-08-25*

There's one thing I would recommend, because it helps you learn a lot more when you write down what you learn rather than what you read. This app is great, but that one flaw, where you can only read the question and answer, makes you learn really slow. At least for me, I could learn five times faster if I was put to write down the capitals. Besides that, the app is great.

### 5/5 — Magique!

*2015-07-24, version 2.20141029*

Très bien fait.  Permet d'apprendre rapidement. Magique!

### 5/5 — Super!

*2015-03-28*

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2014-12-28*

Well worth the 99 cents. Only improvement would be placement of country in the world

### 5/5 — Great for studies AND fun

*2013-12-29*

This app is really helpful I've learned the capitals of all of Europe and Asia within about a week of playing. You don't get bored of it either it's entertaining!

### 5/5 — Really effective learning

*2013-06-22, version 2.20130319*

I found this really quick and effective in remembering the capitals. A good system

### 4/5 — Sparks the brain cells

*2013-06-18*

Love this app. Going to use these flash cards for my kids when they get to school. I will have time to remember all of this info in advance so that I can help my kids with their schoolwork.
