Exceptional

I was looking for an App like orbis for ages and finally got it recommended from a friend. After the trial I immediately started to use it on a daily basis and implemented in my daily routine to stay updated and also to learn new topics.

Amazing way to learn

Orbis accomplishes its intent to deliver an accessible resource for global news while sporting a design that is not only sleek and efficient, but satisfying to use as well

Blown Away

I downloaded it, went through the Thucydides Trap lesson and the Spanish America lesson, and was utterly blown away by the quality of the content and the subjects available. Information is presented in an interesting and easy to follow manner without sparing any complexity. The quizzes encourage you to process and thus remember what you just learned. And none of it felt like work. It felt like I was reading through a more serious version of YouTube. A big congratulations to the creators of the app for making something so high quality!!!
