Good in parts ….

Like the maps but the statistics are years out of date.

Buggy

Unable to switch between countries

Works fine

I don't have the iPad Pro. Haven’t had any problems.

Does not work on ipad pro

Useless Waste of money Customer service did not resoond to my problem They stole my money

Love this app...

...HATE the new App Store

Does NOT Run

Launch app on small iPad Pro. It freezes on the splash screen.

Not worth it

Literally just paid for what can simply be found online using search engine.

Nothing

I am using the iPad Pro 10.5. I launch the app and absolutely nothing happens except a large white screen. I wrote the developer and no reply. Stay away from this app..

Good if you want a very general picture, otherwise poor; terrible interface

There's some good information here if you want a general picture of each country. Enough to warrant the £2 price tag, probably. But specifics are poor - for example the UK is the third largest economy in Europe, apparently, after Germany and France. No, it isn't. Whether you take the IMF, World Bank or United Nations measures, the UK is more than 10% larger than France in 2016 and 2015. The bizarre thing is that when you look at the app's own figures for GDP in those two years, UK is bigger than France. What?

Also, the interface is really poor. You can search for a country (actually a nation state - you can't search for "England" for example) and that's it. No Browse. There's a map view but it's very basic and you can't interact with it.

Overall the app is poor - I'm sure I'll refer to it from time to time when I'm going somewhere new on holiday and it'll give me some basic facts. But I trust the specifics less than I trust Wikipedia...so...y'know...

Nice but not...

So I want to check up on family members who are away in Sardinia, I found it manually... but there were no results for it when I searched for it through the search tool. Huh? So not 4* or 5*.

Great

I enjoy this app very much. The wealth of information provided in this app
is amazing, spanning from a short history/background info and political
situation to the lots of interesting facts and figures on people and
geography etc. The UI is fast and works offline (including the built-in
world map). It's a great investment for anyone wanting to know more about
the world we live in.
The iPad optimized interface is a nice addition.

Still love it

A very comprehensive reference work on countries of the world. It delivers lots of information, spanning from a short history and the political situation to the lots of interesting facts and figures on people and geography. I especially love the different country rankings (for example: life expectancy, co2 emission, obesity etc. there are a lot of them). The app also has a zoomable offline/online map.

10/10

Hmmm!

What have you done to it. Took me a few accidental goes to get the full screen map on my iPhone (just tap the map!) but why not on the iPad version! Or am I missing something. Info is good and useful but can't give it a 5 - yet!

Ok...

Cool Beans.
