Barefoot World Atlas for Negative User Reviews
✓ DisappointedMissing sooooo many images/videos, would be great to have multiple images about each country/ state..Version: 4.0.1
✓ No sound at all!I tried to redownload this app twice and tested on different iPhones, it still does have sound. Really want to fix this problem. Thanks.Version: 4.0.5
✓ EhReally not that detailed for an 'atlas,' besides the awful job done at checking facts. The 'elk' found in Canada is most definitely a moose, both by picture and icon. Either change the name or change the picture..Version: 2.2.7
✓ Not worth the $$$I downloaded this for my kids, thinking that it would be fantastic, but there is hardly anything on it. Just facts and no interaction!! I would never have paid this much for an app that does so little. Save your money as there is many other apps out there for kids with so much more information and interaction. It also uses a massive 1.6GB- But with nothing to show! VERY DISAPPOINTED!!.Version: 2.1.0
✓ DL, lol, deleteDownload this app for a good laugh. If your Canadian click the hockey player and laugh out loud. Then promptly delete it..Version: 2.2.7
✓ Not that accurateLots of cool features but.....where is the Canadian Parliament building in Ottawa? Canada's national capital???.Version: 2.2.7
✓ InaccurateAs others have pointed out, there is much mislabeling on the "atlas". Prince Edward Island, in Canada, is not in the middle of the Gulf of St Lawrence. It's the small island near the New Brunswick and Nova Scotia coast..Version: 2.2.7
✓ MrI had high hopes for this with the price. What a disappointment! Graphics are sad and information scant. Kids using iPads expect more..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Clunky rubbishSucked up lots of space. makes microsoft's magic school bus look good! i deleted it after 2 nauseating minutes and now it keeps trying to reinstall - is this malware for iOS?.Version: 2.2.7
✓ In-app purchases don't downloadTried to download two of the in-app expansions, cities and football, but like other reviewers have reported, they will not complete downloading. Tried deleting, and clearing extra memory, but still no luck. If you bought these in a shop you would go straight back for a refund, but what do you do about an app you've paid for but not received? Out of pocket!.Version: 3.0.7
✓ Add more placesWe need more on Australia.Version: 2.2.7
✓ ConfusedI don't know how to use this can some one please explain what to do once I enter the app.Version: 1.1.0
✓ Was much loved but now has bugs?This was my step-daughter's favourite app, but just today the app has started to crash within a few minutes of being opened..Version: 3.0.3
✓ Bad Bad Bad - no celebrationApple - pls FIX these celebration apps before promoting them !.Version: 2.2.7
✓ PatheticPathetic app, DO NOT DOWNLOAD, waste of space, would be good for 2 year olds..Version: 2.2.7
✓ Worse than uselessI downloaded this app on my wife's recommendation. I'd expected something rather more sophisticated and educational given how intelligent and literate have been all the Barefoot books we've read. What you get is a rather crude and basic representation of the globe, with some animated figures and background music. At a guess, at least 80% of the identifiable figures are men. It's a man's world, I suppose. The population of Ethiopia is represented by a black man brandishing a spear. You'd never know that Addis Ababa was a bustling city bristling with skyscrapers. New Zealand has a man in a loincloth doing a native dance. You learn about Scotland that it rains a lot. That's it for Scotland — a small country to be sure, but one with many thousands of years of history and amazing contributions to world history. We learn of Iran that the Islamic Revolution liberated women! The entire world is treated in this haphazard and random way. What a bizarre, lopsided view of the world children would get from this app! This is worse than uneducational; it reinforces gender and racial (even racist) stereotypes. I found the whole experience of trying out this to be depressing and distasteful, and under no circumstances would I let my children near it. Any children's atlas in traditional book format would be preferable to this ... thing. It also took forever to download. Goodness knows how much space it must be taking up..Version: 2.2.3
✓ Not worth itTo be fair, I only checked out my own country (Canada). But, it was very stereotypical and had some errors. So, I wouldn't trust the info for a country I do not know. For example, half the entry on hockey talks about picks being dangerous to spectators; I've never seen that happen. I'm sure it does, but its minor. Also, the RCMP do still use horses for patrol, as do many police forces in cities around the world. Take a pass on this app..Version: 2.2.7
✓ Too badThe app is so big, it's slow and cumbersome and the information is ridiculously skimpy and stupid. Too bad, it could have been a great app..Version: 2.2.7
✓ LolThe elk in Canada is actually a moose.Version: 2.2.7
✓ Proud CanadianSays ice hockey is Canada's national sport when in fact it is lacrosse..Version: 2.2.7
✓ Nice ideaThe idea of this app is a good one. The information wasn't accurate on some things. I was disappointed as well because I would have expected more facts. For example Hawaii doesn't even mention volcanoes??? Portugal only mentions soccer?? I wouldn't recommend this app unless they change it a lot. Aren't elk and moose two different animals?.Version: 2.2.7
✓ Innacurate factsI was given this app, but if I'd paid for it, I'd want my money back. Within minutes of downloading the app I noticed a number of incorrect facts. For example, what is the largest island in the world? If you'd said Australia, you'd be right, but if you believed Barefoot atlas, you'd think it was Greenland - an island that is 1/6th the size of Australia. Worse, the facts in the starter pack are vary sparse and any additional facts or puzzles require additional purchases..Version: 3.0.9
✓ DisappointingSome places have some very strange items as examples of the country. Some countries have very little of interest to view. India for example, has LOTS AND LOTS of things that could have been shown. And Australia (my home) has hardly anything to show! I think this app needs lots of work. Has potential, but not there yet..Version: 2.2.9
✓ Pretty app with nice pop up info, but the globe is inaccurateIt's app is quite nice and I like the popup facts, but the atlas itself is very comical, lacks detail and is quite inaccurate..Version: 2.2.7
✓ FrustratingBad app..Version: 2.2.7
✓ Really nicely doneI think I like this more than my daughter does! Its very interesting and has a lot of potential. My critique would be it doesn't quite seem finished. There needs to be a start button or something on the initial screen as it's not obvious how you get started. I think this would benefit greatly from being able to add your own photos from your own holidays, with geotagging..Version: 2.2.7
✓ PoorHave been looking at this app for awhile but was reluctant to put out the money (so many apps are such a rip off). I was excited to see if offered as a gift to give to my children. Now I am sorry I took the time and space to download. Corny, stereotyping and boring. Didnt bother to show my kids...they are too smart for this. Won't waste another second even reviewing it..Version: 2.2.7
✓ DisappointedTaiwan and acknowledgement of South Sudanese independence in 2011 but not even a mention of Palestine? How curious..Version: 2.2.9
✓ Read-aloud has disappearedI purchased Barefoot World Atlas years ago for my older boys. Now my younger ones are using it. With the latest update (4.*), though, the read-aloud option has disappeared to make the file size smaller. Unfortunately, the download or streaming options of clicking on the circle doesn’t work very well. Same for the pictures that are supposed to load. Please make a settings option to download all sound files and pictures at one time for people with poor internet..Version: 4.0.1
✓ MetricsNice app. It encourages me to browse through the various countries. Adding someone else's voice would make it more interesting rather than hearing the same voice all the time. I would prefer metrics as well..Version: 2.2.7
✓ Well...I should have reconsidered again before I had clicked the purchase button..Version: 2.2.8
✓ DisappointingThis has great potential and my daughter has previously found it fascinating. Then it was updated and kept crashing. Now I have attempted to add the Cities package - for which I have been charged - but have given up attempting to download it after over an hour. Not happy. Want my money back..Version: 3.0.3
✓ DisappointedToo expensive for what it is. We expected more information about countries for example main points of interest, religion... Map shows only a capital of a country but not other big cities or regions, for example Russia look as a big empty space with some info about ushanka and maslenitsa....Version: 1.1.0
✓ Français?Je viens de télécharger les packs gratuits et il n’y en a aucun en français, malgré ce qu’annonce ici. Pourtant, mon iPhone est en français et même si je force le logiciel plutôt que de simplement être en monde par défaut, tout est en anglais. Très peu utile pour des enfants francophones... Sinon, je donnerait 4 ou 5 étoiles, car l'information, le côté éducatif et la musique sont de haute qualité!.Version: 3.0.10
✓ Mmmm a gig - needs moreI downloaded this and thought for a gig it would be awesome - sadly mistaken. The features are very basic and really does not give satisfactory information. I don't even think I would let my child in primary school use it as it doesn't really say much. Please fix it up and make it a true atlas with information. A great idea but lacks so much..... :-(.Version: 2.2.7
✓ What's it for?I just don't understand this app. It has scanty information about the countries, and very low res maps. It looks quite pretty (hence two stars), but as an educational tool it's next door to useless. In fact none of the atlas apps i've tried are much use, which is surprising - you'd have thought the iPad would be perfect for this..Version: 2.2.7
✓ Wrong info, very vague, terrible app!I downloaded this app recommended by apple in their 5 years anniversary. I must say it's a terrible app. The information is very general, I expected something more since it was featured by apple and took more than 24 hrs to download. They have their own concept of the world, they separated Mexico from North America and now Mexico has its own continent within the Caribbean and Central America. Mexico is NORTH AMERICA! Also a lot of countries are so rich in culture, history and natural resources that kids and grown ups can learn so much from it but this is definitely not the app to do so, half of Europe is empty, most countries in south and Central America, also according to this app life in the Caribbean doesn't exist, in Portugal they only thing there is are kids playing soccer and in Hawaii surfers. You don't want your kids having such a narrow and wrong concept about the world and the beautiful countries and their REAL information. So not even for entertainment purposes! You don't want children to start judging the world like we do. Our next generation o children need to be above and beyond our knowledge and education therefore this is not the app we want for future generations to grow up with..Version: 2.2.7
✓ Surprisingly DisappointedI think I was expecting too much - at least more than a token amount of info about seemingly random states across the US, let alone across the rest of the world. I suppose we might be using it incorrectly, but I purchased this specifically to help my children with US geography information and it was not helpful at all. Florida only has a handful (if even) of informational tidbits. Texas had oil and one or two other things. No information on the states themselves, again, unless I just didn't see it. I didn't make it into other countries outside of Cuba, Dominican Republic, Venezuela, but these countries appear to have the same lack of depth as the US states have. For 5$ (and this was marked down from 8$) and 1.5gig I expect more information. This went from being an educational tool to a fun diversion tactic..Version: 2.0.0
✓ Iran has lots of more great places but you didn’t addIt’s ridiculous that you add only one mosque and two mountains of Iran. Iran has lots and lots of cool places that you did NOT add. Places like Persepolis, sarv-e abarkuh tree, Milad Tower and many tombs of our myth like tomb of hafez and ferdoosi. Education has nothing to do with US laws for sanctions. Show the world the beauty of our IRAN..Version: 3.0.11
✓ Pretty awfulI had read some good reports and thought this would be a good app. Perhaps for 69p but £2.99 is just ridiculous. The icon for Scotland is terrible and means nothing. (Scottish boy) This is an app worth looking at once or twice maybe more if showing a child but buying a globe would be better value. My son was bored with it in minutes. It's just annoying..Version: 2.0.0
✓ Lovely for kidsThe positive: it is a very well designed interactive globe. i imagine the 3D must also be fun for kids. (it is most definitely for kids) the negative: the information is spare (some say there are inaccuracies) and i think some landmarks are missed (definitely in the small countries as there is no space for it). technically-speaking, it still uses 1.2 GB of storage. i don't have storage issues, but since i also don't have kids, i'll be deleting it. (though to their credit, the present version is an improvement on the previous one at 2 GB).Version: 2.2.7
✓ LimitedWould probably appeal to children for a short time, but for an app of this magnitude (1.2gb) I would have expected a lot more content, there is no information at all about any of the countries, their history or geography, or why arbitrary landmarks and illustrations are there. Ireland is represented by a cow. What? It has potential to be a good educational app but right now it's nothing more than a map with basically zero detail on..Version: 2.2.7
✓ PortFf.Version: 2.2.9
✓ Impossible to download packsI cannot download the packs it won't allow..Version: 3.0.13
✓ Great idea. Ned more featuresA great idea, but could be improved heaps, with more child appropriate pictures. More animals and people and less obscure buildings and subjects. Australia's pictures are sparse and some countries have no pictures at all..Version: 2.2.7
✓ You say ‘Best wishes for the Barefoot Team’, right?You can tap on the picture. But you see the “Switch Label” button as well, it actually does nothing. It crashes every time. Sometimes glitchy. I completed the app so i dont need it anymore. I was gonna do something again but when i tried it crashed maybe its because i used a bit more than i should, they coulda updated it to kinda glitchy and stuff like that. I like the game is fun, but plz fix the bug. XX NO ADS XX..Version: 4.0.5
✓ Waste of moneyPlease don't fall for the hype in The Telegraph as I did. VERY expensive but not worth getting even if free IMO! I bought it as a treat for my 5 year old who within minutes expressed dissatisfaction that it lacks Google Earth's functionality (e.g., pinch out and zoom) and is very random and superficial in its facts about the countries of the world. Utter rubbish! If your child is familiar with Google Earth this will be an even bigger let down, so avoid the costly error. It also took an hour to download and is very memory-hungry, at least on my iPad..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Impossible d'utiliser l'applicationRien à faire l'application arrête une fois arrivé sur l'image de la terre. Impossible à d'évaluer. 4.99$ de perdu..Version: 3.0.7
✓ Very poor presentationI purchased this app for my 5-year old daughter. It was based on the sales pitch it has in the summary. 4 million downloads and and top 10 App Store pick! Now my impression after spending 20 minutes with this is - really? I want to jump straight to what's wrong here but first let me point out what's working. The globe is the best idea of this app. Very smooth transition for what could have been complicated multi-level menus. This is ideal for exploration. Sadly, the good part ends right there. The music is so boring and so is the announcer's voice. Switching between packs should not be required, but it would be ok if the navigation between the packs was half as intuitive as moving around the globe. However, it appears that the app was not built with expansion packs in mind, perhaps implemented as an afterthought. The app freezes while switching packs without any feedback on whether the selection was successful. I would not recommend this app for children until it's more engaging. It has the potential to be a very useful tool for young children, but it's not there yet..Version: 3.0.10
✓ InaccurateInteresting and friendly but when it proclaimed the moose was an elk, it cast all its information in doubt..Version: 2.2.7
✓ Pretty weakNo drill down details on the country. kids are not interested in how many cars per capital or emissions per capita. could be way better. no worth the price…..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Could have many more features!!!I was expecting much more from this app. At least capital cities should be displayed, more mountains named, more children friendly info about each country, individual states in US, provinces in Canada named, Florida peninsula named. Why would you put a paddle steam boat from Switzerland in New Orleans, I don't understand, they probably do not have one in the States???!!!, option of temperature in Celsius and distance in kilometers, national anthems just to name few. Hard to navigate, it jumps from one "information" to completely different one elsewhere, etc. Please get an inspiration from other children atlases ie. DK First Atlas, or the children's Oregon Smart Globe. Why does it take 1.7 gigabytes of space of the iPad, with such a little info? Not worth the money at all.......I am really disappointed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And deleting it from my iPad....Make a major improvements immediately. It is a one star only!!!!!!!!!!!!.Version: 1.1.0
✓ Factually IncorrectContains obvious errors, such as Hockey being the national sport of Canada. It's not. Lacrosse is. Plus Britain and Ireland contain as many entries as the rest of the EU, minus France, Spain and Italy, combined. Where they had a "highland boy" and some statue erected in 1998 as entries in the UK, Germany's only entry was the Brandenburg Gate, which was accompanied by foreboding music..Version: 2.2.7
✓ No audioI was really desperate for this app but after paying why is there no audio???.Version: 4.0.5
✓ DisappointedThis app is not what I expected , the only way to get interaction is to continue to make more purchases.....Version: 3.0.12
✓ How can this take up a GB?Seemingly only a couple of facts per country, no ability to change the units to some from this century. How on earth can this piece of junk possibly take up a gigabyte of space? It's not going near my kids, they can stick to real maps..Version: 2.2.7
✓ Thinks New Zealand has Australian soundsFun app needs a bit more accuracy in facts.Version: 2.2.7
✓ Update size is ridiculousMy grandson loves this app but when updates require over a gig each time I cannot always update as I don't have that much download time to waste. Surely you developers should have figured out by now how to make the updates smaller. I don't have this problem with other more complex apps that are just as big when first purchased. I should not need to download a whole new app every time. It is in danger of being deleted permanently from my device. . Because of this the number of stars goes from 4 to 2!.Version: 3.0.6
✓ Ok-ishA good app in terms of illustration and format, its easy to navigate through the atlas but a couple things missing. Firstly you have missed out Palestine, i fail to comprehend the reasoning behind the omission of this country. Also you've missed out famous landmarks such as the Big Ben in London, the ancient city of Petra in Jordan, Grand Canyon - Arizona.. I could go on. I mean these are all famous landmarks and wonders of the world and so not including these sites makes the app mediocre. I do hope this will be taken into consideration and will be improved in the next available update. Thank you..Version: 2.2.7
✓ DisappointedAwful. Pushes purchases practically on every screen..Version: 3.0.9
✓ Needs more info and less space and faster downloadLike I said in the title It took way to long to download I left it for about a half hour to download and wen I came back nothing and 1.5 GIGS not worth it and three when it finally downloaded I checked my country first and about half of it I knew for sure was fake and it doesn't give much information WATE OF TIME.Version: 2.2.7
✓ Could do betterGood illustrations and music but immediately frustrating after that. When you press an icon eg the Christ the Redeemer statue in Brazil, there's nothing to say which country you're in or the city. Surely the point of a geographical app like this is to pique childrens' interest to find out more about the countries these icons are based in?.Version: 2.2.7
✓ Random curiosity onlySoooo disappointed to find my beloved country so badly portrayed. Can only think that other nations are also suffering. Random looks stour globe by very young children only- and hope they don't remember any of it in a geography exam. Beautiful illustrations but not factually relevant..Version: 2.0.0
✓ Inaccurate information for young minds.Starts out being fun and colorful for kids, but they soon question what they are seeing. We wrote in the past, pointing out a small truth. Cook Island dancers are NOT Tahitian dancers. They are Cook Islands dancers. Tahitian dancers are from Tahiti in French Polynesia, NOT the Cook Islands. We did receive a reply that this could be updated in a future app update. It wasn’t and the kids still aren’t happy. “If this is wrong what else is wrong.”.Version: 3.0.13
✓ New in app spoils experienceDefinitely a great app and entertained my boy for a while last year, after going back to the app now that he is a little older I discovered the in app purchases. They are a little pricey and they have interfered with the experience all to often prompting for an upgrade. Real shame, hence 3 stars. I already paid for this, stop asking for more money. In app purchase and constant upgrades and changes ruin things. I wish I could roll back upgrades..Version: 3.0.7
✓ Complete waste of spaceThe developers of this "atlas" have invested heavily in style and not a bit in substance. It looks pretty (for the two minutes it takes to get bored with it), but has very little content. What skeletal content it has is dull, unbelievably brief (a couple of sentences on a topic with one nice photo that you have to open separately), and highly jingoistic and stereotyped. Goodness knows how they even decided on some of the peculiar subjects covered at the expense of actual contemporary and relevant alternatives. Save yourself a gigabyte of RAM...avoid this app..Version: 2.2.7
✓ Lacking deep information.This is a great idea and beautifully made, exactly what kids should be able to use to explore. My only issue is the lack of information outside of a lot of obvious facts, especially in Asia, particularly Japan, the information is extremely limited. Perhaps there could be an Asia view that allows you to see more details, facts and cultural aspects of Japan and other places? Overall brilliant app though. :).Version: 4.0.1
✓ Cool but annoyingGreat app but keeps closing after a few moments of use. Hope this is fixed in an update!.Version: 3.0.3
✓ Primetime192What a waste iPad memory. My 5 year old was board of the basic information in 10 mins. Very disappointing!! Waste of money..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Do not buyTakes up 1.5 gigs. All the content you get for a country like Romania, is a deer and Bran castle. Each has one or two brief sentences about it. Can't change the units from imperial to metrics. Couple of things about each country, that's all. A have a children's map of the world with more content. Oh well, now there's a review. Why 0 stars is not a valid rating?.Version: 2.0.0
✓ Lite versionNice app but after paying a fair bit for this app, developers started turning this full version into a lite version now asking for more money as they add content. i won’t pay anymore for this. I paid for the atlas in full, not half an atlas some six months later..Version: 3.0.9
✓ Colourful interactive but not much of an atlasCities would be nice. You won't learn much except for the somewhat inaccurate snippets provided..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Update actually won't downloadEvery time I try to update the app, the update either goes very slowly or it just doesn't work. Either way, it never fully updates. It just won't download. But from what I've seen from the other reviews, maybe I don't want the update. Don't misunderstand! I love the app! But time to go back to the drawing board before moving on..Version: 3.0.10
✓ Do not buyThis App is excellent. The functionality is good and so is the content. The user can press on the places, countries animals and all sorts of icons, and a description appropriate for a young child appears. A clear male voice, of a native speaker gives the title. In previous versions, this voice also read the description. BUT now they have changed the descriptions to be read by a female voice who is obviously not a native speaker of English, and much of the pronunciation is totally incorrect. Excellent if you want your child to learn English with a bizarre accent, or good if you want the child not to understand ay all, but useless if you have bought this for education, rather than a lesson in political correctness. Avoid..Version: 3.0.8
✓ M-KiwiNew Zealand's indigenous musical instruments do NOT include the didgeridoo - that's Australia across the ditch. Fail. Delete..Version: 2.2.7
✓ Pas en français!Un brin décevant parce que pas disponible en français, peu de renseignement. Beau visuel cependant..Version: 2.0.0
✓ Quiz feature doesn’t workThe drag and drop feature not working for the North America quiz so there’s no way to finish the quiz. I’ve never experienced such a fail in an app. Wondering if I can get a refund..Version: 4.0.1
✓ Buggy and clunky app, poor supportThis is a very buggy and clunky app that stalls and crashes often. As others have commented, huge to download and in-app purchases don’t come out after download. For the price, poor value and content for money. Support is very poor as well. Have been in touch with developer many times already regarding in-app purchase issues and to date still no reply. Bad show.Version: 3.0.9
✓ Such a small amount of info for a huge appVery disappointed with the amount of detail in this app, for over 1 gig I expect a lot more. Surely you could have added states and cities in Australia, looks like a very rushed app. I mean you can't even zoom in without changing the viewing plane..Version: 2.2.7
✓ Data Checking NeededSorry folks, I know it’s a freebie pack, but when I find glaring mistakes in the first couple seconds of trialing an app, I’m definitely not going to pay money for it. For an educational tool, it pays to be accurate for our kids... So, since I’m not from Texas, I tried to first zoom to home via the regions sub-set (North America) and meander north to Minnesota. No landmarks to speak of (Grain elevator!? Ok, fine, Cargil and General Mills are our handy work...), but the state abbreviation is wrong (Minnesota is MN, not MI) so when I’m swiped over to Michigan, whose abbreviation is MI, they don’t even get abbreviations. I’m not the most worldly guy around, but before knowing where Salvador or Eritrea are, how about I have the ability to at least point to my home state with a little detail first? It should be an easy win... I hope the depth of the rest of the app is better, I’d hope so for such a huge install, but for now, I’m going to pass..Version: 3.0.11
✓ Needs WorkGreat idea for an application and style, however lacks correct information. For example the super pit and gold mining for Kalgoorlie in Australia is not in the correct position on the map..Version: 2.2.7
✓ Clumsy, mildly informative, and largeLike the title says. The interface is clumsy, the icons are not very clear and you've got me as to what the difference between region and area are. They select the same thing and give the same information. By mildly informative, I mean what you see is it. Is not like you can select an area and learn the Capitol city, statistics and history, or things to do in that area. For example, if you click Washington all you get is a blurb about totem poles. Cool, but the entire northwest is not a reservation. It would be so much more worth it if it showed key cities (with info on each and things to do within them), washingtons history, statistics on things such as population, elevation, average income, average weather, hottest months, coldest months, ethnicity percentages, etc. People use atlases to learn about areas. I know what a kangaroo is and I know that it's in Australia. Google can tell me all I need to know about it. What makes you better than google, Barefoot? And large? The program is bloated as heck, concerning size. Over a gig for what? It's intuitive that you can turn the globe and click, but I really don't see what all the hype is about. This concept is old, and done way better by google. As a whole this app is barely 1 star. It's not terribly informative, nor is it graphically stunning. The engine to run it must be old, because I don't see where a gig of space went. Certainly not on educational information..Version: 2.2.7
✓ Does not work with iPhone X ScreenApp has not be updated for the iPhone X screen..Version: 3.0.11
✓ Barefoot World AtlasDisappointed. Expected a lot more from this app when I saw the rating and read the web site. App very prescriptive and limited information for cost and size of app..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Not really well done at all...Visually well done, but inaccurate as old heck... Not worth your time....Version: 2.2.7
✓ ExplorersThe app is great. There are a few explorers but I was hoping for more…Could you kindly add the following? First I’d like you to add the big explorers eg. James Cook, Christopher Columbus Amelia Earhart etc. if you could do this this would make it an invaluable tool for schools. These key explorers are missing Next, could you add a filter so it’s then possible to find the explorers easily. Finally since we now need to think about diversity could you add some additional explorers eg. First wheelchair user to..and also important female explorers. These are important as they did not explore for greed or territory or religion, they did it to share universal human values so o think you should also honour them on the app If you could add these features in the next two weeks I’d be so grateful as my fourth grade class are doing an explorers unit! Thanks!.Version: 4.0.5
✓ YikesLooking at all the reviews, it looks like I'm the only one who couldn't figure out how to get to an actual article (could move to next/prev country, could zoom, and drag the globe, but touching an illustration or country did nothing but bring up the place name. Touching the place name did nothing) . I feel…inadequate, and so in frustration I give this app… one star..Version: 2.2.7
✓ Latest update fails to installDespite downloading the 1GB update five times over the past week, it always fails to install and crashes my device. Plus, having already paid for this app once, all new content has to be paid for again = rip off.Version: 3.0.1
✓ O.k.Not so much what i had in mind, very limited..Version: 3.0.3
✓ GoodThe music is super annoying is there a way of turning it off?.Version: 2.2.7
✓ Limited for priceHas music and zooms around to different pictures with basic info. May catch the attention of younger kids for a limited time. Not worth the money or the large GB..Version: 2.2.10
✓ Glitches in this app that make it frustratingThe quiz feature has multiple glitches. Certain states won’t accept their matching flag and the only way to fix it is to exit the quiz and start all over again. It’s frustrating for me as an adult so I can’t imagine my kid finding it a fun learning experience. Also on some of the historic narratives some names are mispronounced. I think they could have done a better job on quality control before rolling this app out..Version: 4.0.1
✓ Do not purchase!I downloaded this app... Which is 1.5 gigs ! For this price and size was really hoping for something better! Very disappointing! Deleted it right away. Waste of $5!!.Version: 2.0.0
✓ Great app spoiled by factual errors and odd choicesThe app has a great design and is fun to use to get the kids interested in geography and world culture. But after finding several errors within minutes, I’m not sure how reliable the rest of information is. For example, Latvia’s currency is not Lat, it’s EUR since 2014, and Lithuania borders KalinINgrad Oblast, not Kalingrad. The old currency is listed as well. I’ve checked only a few European countries so far and am not sure the choice of highlights make sense. E.g. for Spain it shows Tower of La Giralda as a landmark. Why not Alhambra? It’s a world wonder even in Civilization. Not sure what was the train of thought behind some choices. The quizzes are also disappointing: it’s a choice between matching the flag and matching the shape. I have trouble having the kid to remember the capital cities (much more important information) and there seems to be no quiz for that. A lot of unrealized potential in this app..Version: 4.0.4
✓ UselessGo and get your self a wikipedia app at least you will learn something there..Version: 3.0.10
✓ Not worth 1.13GB of dataVery shallow information for such a size app....not worth it..Version: 2.2.7
✓ AccuracyTatamailau is not in East Timor but Indonesia. Your application gives wrong information about East Timor highest point. Not accurate!.Version: 2.2.7
