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.

Verdict
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.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. JigsawGeo sells 13 one-off in-app purchases and Geography Master sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
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.
JigsawGeo ships an update every 4 weeks, Geography Master every 3 months. Both last shipped on October 23, 2026.
