Any chance you can add disabling the timer as a setting? ### 4/5 — Nice App for Learning Geography *2022-09-06, version 4.996* Use this along with the Apple TV app for my two elementary school boys. We enjoy playing together & learning. Also, developer has a great track record with updates and seems to care about this product. ### 4/5 — Great App, But... *2020-08-01, version 4.992* Please make a version with ads or something where everything is unlocked. This app is helping me learn a lot... but only on a very limited amount of countries. ### 5/5 — Good for global awareness for all ages *2019-04-21, version 4.97* Entertaining and education - somewhat difficult to operate on smartphone for timed tests but can be managed. Some of the quizzes don’t seem to cover some countries. However, the practice exercises do review all countries in a region. ### 4/5 — Setting! *2019-03-29, version 4.97* Where is the setting ?!!! Can’t mute the app, can’t change timing!! ### 5/5 — Thumbs up *2019-03-04, version 4.97* Simple and fun way to learn. So much easier than studying an Atlas. ### 4/5 — Great app! I love it~ *2019-01-01, version 4.97* I love this app which is really helpful. I downloaded dozens of apps of the same kind, and this one is the best of them all. The only problem is I haven’t been able to find a player to play head to head games with...And could it be possible to make it free for using the whole version? I’m sure there will be more users and more profits from advertising. ### 5/5 — Fun way to learn geography! *2018-07-01, version 4.92* And good for adults and kids. ### 5/5 — ONE THING *2018-06-05, version 4.92* I Love this game but there’s one thing. When you play Australia for some reason half of Indonesia and the Philippines appear. Indonesia is not part of Australia and the Phillippines are not part of Indonesia. Other than that, it’s awesome. ### 4/5 — Great app but... *2018-02-03, version 4.8* This is a great app. My 3 year old loves it. Only thing it’s missing is audio saying the country to look for. He can’t read but he knows where a majority of the countries are. It would also help with teaching him (us) how to say them. Please consider it. ### 5/5 — Great *2018-01-14, version 4.8* This app is really great for some laid back learning. I’ve been wanting to learn my countries for a while and this app has helped tremendously. The full version is extremely worth the money. ### 4/5 — I like it, but improvements can be made. *2017-11-28, version 4.7* I think it’s a great app for studying and whatnot, but why can’t you just make it free? And if you can’t make it free, then why not just make a customization option, where you can choose the countries you want to study. ### 5/5 — At age 54 I finally learned geography *2017-11-12, version 4.6* At age 54 I finally learned geography ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Useless *2020-03-06, version 4.991* I deleted this app 5 minutes after downloading it. When you do a region it repeats some countries multiple times and doesn’t do others. It was pretty boring. ### 1/5 — The app is great, but buyer beware of in app purchase for share *2019-02-19, version 4.97* We are a home school family and we can share every other app purchased in App Store, but they make you pay for the premium for every family member this adds up. If you have multiple family member know this before buying. ### 1/5 — Complete Trash *2017-02-27, version 4.2* I hate this app! It is the worst! It's so laggy and bad! ### 2/5 — Disappointed- no capitals, only countries *2025-11-12, version 4.999* This really should also include the quiz for the capitals along with the countries like the other apps made by this company. ### 2/5 — Ad free but no fun *2020-01-04, version 4.99* No ads but you have to pay to really play Tease you But would rather have ads and play more than one or two games ### 2/5 — Quiet mode? *2018-04-20, version 4.91* Might be a good app, but the dumb music starts right away, and I don’t see any settings option to mute it. If I want noise, I will turn it on. I hate it if I can’t turn it off! ### 3/5 — Io26 issue *2025-10-29, version 4.999* It is great app but not working with ios26. Tried update the app and all but it just open and close automatically. ### 3/5 — Multiplayer? *2020-04-12, version 4.991* Multiplayer does not work! Does not support Family Shearing! Had to purchase it 3 times for 3 family members, $12! Other than that it’s good. How do I get multiplayer to work?? ### 3/5 — Expensive *2017-11-10, version 4.6* A bit expensive for such little feature ### 3/5 — Huh? *2017-05-14, version 4.2* I was really enjoying practicing learning and really appreciated how clear and basic tool was. So I went ahead to get paid version and can't see a difference so I feel cheated. I wasn't sure what I was buying but hoped it was something ? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — So Fun *2022-11-27, version 4.996* So fun. Efficient and intuitive. Easy to use. ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2022-03-31, version 4.996* Really great app! Has helped me so much with my school ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2021-01-21, version 4.993* I love this app. You learn whilst quizzing which I always think is the most fun way to learn. Only thing I would ask is, where is Malta on the Europe challenge. I’ve checked and it’s classed as being in Europe and is a country in its own right. Other than this small point I would recommend to just but this app at the premium as it’s really good ### 5/5 — Liked it so much I bought it *2020-05-23, version 4.991* I got the free version first to help my young son start to learn the countries of the world, so the quiz in this is perfect and have already been very helpful. However he has realised he can switch on the answer tab and see answers easily, so it might be helpful to be able to hide that or lock it or have it a little hidden. also extra things would be nice to be tested on too, like flags or languages or other facts, but that’s just nitpicking. Overall found this app better laid out and easier to use than many others and would love to see it develop to include more options in the future. Then I would recommend it to everyone with small children wanting to learn the countries of the world. If your at all interested, worth a try and if like me you like it, worth a buy! ### 5/5 — World Map *2020-05-07, version 4.991* 4.9 star Date ### 5/5 — THIS GAME IS BRILLIANT!!! *2020-04-29, version 4.991* Without the full version it still is amazing but I recommend paying So I paid the £3.99 for the full version and it’s just such a good price for what you get with it. I have to be honest when I looked at it and thought about it, it’s a really good investment. You should totally get this app, as it not only does all of the country’s it does capital cities as well! ### 5/5 — Fantastic for learning countries *2020-03-31, version 4.991* I love this app, very helpful for quickly learning countries by geography. ### 5/5 — Great simple geography app *2020-02-25, version 4.991* Good way to learn countries of the world. Would be nice if they would add a study mode where you would touch a country and it would Identify it. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2020-02-20, version 4.991* Excellent app. Has been a great way to learn countries and capitals. Still missing a few countries like Tuvalu and Palau. Being able to listen to own music would be good. Thanks for a great app! ### 5/5 — I love this *2019-08-10, version 4.98* This is cool I give it a 5 star --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
