## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Crashes every time when launching

*2013-03-22, version 1.0*

Crashes every time when launching. Circle completes and app immediately crashes.

### 1/5 — Will not launch

*2013-03-20, version 1.0*

I have tried and tried to launch this App. As soon as the "loading" circle completes itself, the App quits. I am running the required operating system on my iPad. Very disappointing.

### 4/5 — Almost perfect

*2021-03-23, version 1.6*

As someone who is into this kind of topic. It has an comprehensive amount of urban areas and I feel like an update can be made to improve it more. I kind of wish more popular but smaller global level cities could be added. (Port Louis and Saint-Denis in the African islands comes to mind) Neighboring but still major twin style cities be acknowledged (Saint Paul, Kobe, Foshan, Fort Worth, San Bernardino, St. Petersburg [Florida] and Norfolk to name a few) along with the German metropolitan areas to be named after the cities like the rest. But still a good dig regardless of what I mostly notice.

### 4/5 — Good app, needs update

*2018-11-05, version 1.6*

Very useful app that needs an update and would be made stronger by giving more user control — say to disaggregate Africa and the Middle East or to create baskets of countries — North Africa, South East Asia, the Indian sub-continent, BRICS, MINTS, etc.

### 4/5 — Beautiful app

*2013-09-18, version 1.1.1*

This app is beautiful.  I love browsing through the data.  I thin Katherine graphics cold have been improved, however.

### 4/5 — Very nice

*2013-04-15, version 1.0*

This application works fine with no problems.  I would like to see more data comparisons and more information though.  This is a very interesting piece of software.

### 5/5 — The most beautiful app in the App Store

*2014-01-23, version 1.1.1*

You need to partner with Wolfram Alpha and make beautiful apps together.....

### 5/5 — Brilliant!

*2013-06-19, version 1.1*

Thank you McKinsey for sharing your knowledge. Data rich, and excellent presentation technology!

### 5/5 — Superb!

*2013-05-21, version 1.1*

We professors in political economy are always looking for global macroeconomic data, in historical perspective and in a comparative manner. Many thanks for this great device of important data.

### 5/5 — Fascinating

*2013-03-22, version 1.0*

Good-looking and well-made. Really draws you in to learn more about all sorts of cities. Reminds me of playing with a spinning globe as a kid!

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2013-03-19, version 1.0*

This is a useful and easy app for basic worldwide economic data. it's one downside is that it's only available for iPad. Would be useful to have for MacBook and iPhone.
