About

GuessTheFlag

Read full description

Take a little trip around the world, one flag at a time. Each trip has up to eight different flags. Look at the colors and shapes, try a hint, and choose one of four countries. See the answer, hear the country's name, and tap Next whenever you are ready. There is no timer. A correct answer adds a stamp to your flag passport. Open any of the 24 study cards from the start to look, listen and learn. Revisit missed flags after a trip or from the home screen. Switch between English and Simplified Chinese. Progress stays on your device. Guess Flag has no account, ads, analytics, tracking, subscription or in-app purchases. Designed for iPhone and iPad. Country-name speech uses system voices; vibration depends on device support and settings.
