A Classic - Great App!
This app was one of the first I download it on my very first iPhone, over 15 years ago, and I am impressed that it is still available – even more so that it has been recently updated! I just wanted to stop in and give a thank you to the developer because he definitely deserves it! This app is packed full of great information, and you can easily get caught up for an hour learning things you never knew before. A very fun way to learn about the world around you.

Many rankings removed!
Why in recent updates many rankings have been removed?!
For example in previous versions we could see the ranking of a country in oil or natural gas proven reserves. But now it’s missing and there is no ranking for many important factors of countries and very few and limited rankings are available!

Brilliant app. Data needs updating
Most financial and political information dates back to 2019 to 2021. Desperately need a data refresh
Not enough updates
The app was amazing but there are never any updates. I know things are changing fast in the world we live in but the information seams to never update on this app..
Not so up to date
For example - the entry on Ukraine. I know the news changes constantly but a the election of a President or Prime Minister is important enough to need more frequent updates…
Any data updates?
I wonder if there is an upcoming data update or that’s it!
Out of date
My bad. This app is now wildly out of date and I’ve only just noticed. Do you not get otherwise you will be at least three years and potentially for some countries five years out of date
Great APP for the right person . . .
Overall seems to be a great resource depending on the intent of use. I needed an app to easily enter random city names to quickly reference country information and other data. This is not that APP. If you work with world wide cities and do not know the corresponding country, this is not the APP. Search function only allows known country names to return results.

CIA World Fact Book
For all those who desire to understand the dynamics that distinguish the nations of the world, this book is indispensable.
Excellent
This app is my go-to for all things international. Comprehensive information is easily accessible and well organized. If you only have limited time you can get the most relevant facts about a country quickly and easily and if you want more you can also read on to more in depth information. A must have.

Fills a void
There isn’t another good one on the entire store.
Higher reading level
It isn’t bad just but it seems like the reading level is low. I would have liked a focus on the university reading level.
Conciseness
A very concise source whenever looking for specific details!
it doesn't worth the money
iphone application it doesn't fit the ipad screen (about 2/3) and the atlas i couldn't solve to see any world map
Chock full of info
I love this app! Would be great if it had "current" news, but it would require frequent updates. I took away one star because it would be great if there was a country compare feature and a search feature (i.e., highest GDP, best maternal survival rate, most overweight country, etc.)
Note: meant for iPhone
Tiny display on iPad or laptop. Map is pretty sparse
Great app and a must have.
I’ve use this app for years. It’s essential in learning about other countries, working with people from other countries and it’s such an easy app to use love to design content etc.
Highly recommend, great job!

Opening up the world
Just what I was looking for.
Whenever a country I’m not familiar with is mentioned in the news, I can go to this app. Not only does in have a detailed map but tells me everything I could want to know about the country—ethic makeup, religion, government, languages, even fertility rates.

Truly the best
No Factbook app can beat this. It’s the best out there, and contains everything I could have asked for. Very informative and useful. Intuitive interface and very easy to use and read. Great map. It’s simple design is not overcrowded with images, maps, or flags; yet uses them when necessary. Keeps out of your way but can be immersive. The paid version for flag descriptions and no ads is worth it, especially if you’re a flag buff. The ads always kept out of your way though, not at all annoying. Very great.
