JigsawGeo plays on a real, spinnable 3-D globe, and version 3.2 adds a passport to fill with stamps from every place you find. No more flat Mercator map stretching Greenland to the size of Africa. Countries sit at their true size, true shape, and true distance apart, exactly as they do on the planet. Spin the globe, zoom in, and put the world back together. Drag a puzzle piece to where you think it belongs, or just double-tap the spot. Beat the clock, earn a high score, and learn world geography without it ever feeling like studying. NO ADS. NO ACCOUNTS. NO TRACKING. Free to download with two complete maps included. Every other map is a one-time in-app purchase: never a subscription, never an advertisement. Safe to hand to a kid. YOUR JIGSAWGEO PASSPORT • Earn a stamp for every place you find, and win visas as your map pages fill up • Tap a stamp to read a fun fact about the place • Collect themed pages like Islands and Great Lakes, and keep a travel journal of every game you play • Make the ID page yours with your name, your favorite place and an avatar you build yourself • Print your passport as a little booklet to cut out, staple and color in 16 MISSIONS, ALL UNLOCKED Choose what you are asked to find and how much help you get. Every mission is open from the start. • Find each place by its shape, its capital city or its flag, or pinpoint the capital inside its own region • Get as much help as you like: the globe glides toward the right spot, a sonar ping guides you, or you go it alone • Or let a place light up on the globe and pick its name, its flag or its capital from four choices • Earn six ranks on every map, from Traveler to Cartographer, and win ten more badges on other missions SPIN, ZOOM, EXPLORE • Drag one finger to rotate the globe; flick it to send it spinning • Pinch to zoom, from the whole planet down to a single island • Maps open with a spaceship fly-in: soar in from the far side of the world, skim low over the land, then pull back to see the whole map • Choose a Terrain or Political globe style • Built on a full geographic database, so the tiny islands, peninsulas and inlets that other map games quietly leave out are all here • Oceans, seas, lakes and place names fill in around your puzzle as you play • Optional latitude and longitude grid • Portrait or landscape, iPhone or iPad, light mode or dark MORE THAN 25 MAPS • Continents: Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, South America, Oceania, Middle East • The World: 207 countries on one globe • Single countries in detail: United States (51 states), Japan (47 prefectures), India (35 states and union territories), Mexico (32 states), China (31 provinces), France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Netherlands, Canada, Australia • Around the water: Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, Indian Ocean, Mediterranean Sea, Caribbean Sea • Through history: the British Empire, the Former Soviet Union • Value packs bundle whole sets for less COMPETE AND LEARN • Game Center leaderboards for every map, so you can see where you land against players worldwide • Your best time tracked for every map and every mission • Two narrator voices read each region and capital aloud as you play • Plays in English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean and Chinese • Works completely offline, with no signal needed on the road FOR CLASSROOMS AND KITCHEN TABLES Teachers, homeschoolers and map lovers have used JigsawGeo for years to make continents, capitals and flags stick.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: JigsawGeo at 4.9 against Geography Master's 3.8. JigsawGeo also leads on update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 3 months). Geography Master's advantage is review sentiment (77% vs 60%) and ratings volume (61 vs 10). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

JigsawGeo holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Geography Master has 61 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of JigsawGeo's written reviews are positive against 77% of Geography Master's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

JigsawGeo ships an update every 4 weeks, Geography Master every 3 months. Both last shipped on October 23, 2026.
