### 1/5 — it is bad

*2018-12-20*

It is bad

### 1/5 — Frustrating

*2018-10-09*

This app is crazy. You have to rate your confidence for each of the questions....very annoying. I deleted it and will be looking for one that asks question about this subject and not how I felt

### 1/5 — Lame

*2018-05-11*

Don’t even download it. The app was designed by a drunk school teacher

### 1/5 — Crashes on opening

*2017-12-27*

I’d like to try it out but ☝️

### 4/5 — Good

*2017-07-26*

I really like this ap. Definitely easy to use. I would just really recommend letting the user review a full map of the US before going into study mode.

### 5/5 — Great

*2017-04-02*

Great way to learn US Geography

### 4/5 — Just started using

*2017-01-16*

After the first 5 minutes you have learned how to associate the name of the state with its location.  
I would recommend that the author also include a puzzle feature in a future revision

### 5/5 — It truly works!!!

*2016-09-16*

It's a nice mix of map to flash cards.  I had it with minimal repetition.

### 1/5 — Better alternatives are out there

*2014-11-10*

Why should I be forced to create an account to use this app, i.e. to learn U.S. geography? To sync my progress? Then use iCloud, so I don’t have to bother with setting up yet another account. The more likely answer is to add my info to a sellable list. Just what I DON’T want. This is made all the more ridiculous by charging for an “app unlock” in addition to requiring an account. Forget it. There are less intrusive and expensive ways to learn geography.

### 5/5 — Educational

*2014-11-08*

Great app to re-learn states and capitals. As an adult I was amazingly ignorant of state capitals. This app has helped me learn them again.
