GoneGlobal teaches you every country in the world through daily challenges and smart spaced repetition, so what you learn actually sticks. Most geography apps are just quizzes. GoneGlobal is a learning system. It tracks what you know, brings back what you're forgetting, and gradually builds your knowledge of all 195 countries across four different topics. Four ways to learn Capitals — match every country to its capital city, from Paris to Naypyidaw. Flags — recognize every flag in the world, from the instantly familiar to the genuinely tricky. Shapes — identify countries by their outline alone. Harder than it sounds. Locations — pin countries on the globe. No borders, no labels — just the map. Daily Challenge Every day brings a fresh set of questions across all four topics, worth up to 1,000+ points. Finish in time to keep your streak alive. Spaced repetition GoneGlobal remembers what you've learned and when you last saw it. Countries you're confident with come back less often. Countries you struggle with come back sooner. Over time, everything becomes familiar. Built for real learning No ads. No lives system. No artificial difficulty. Just a clean, focused app that helps you genuinely learn the world at whatever pace works for you. Whether you're a geography enthusiast, a traveller, a student, or just someone who wants to know the world better, GoneGlobal gives you the tools to get there.
