Barefoot World Atlas for Positive User Reviews
✓ A cut aboveGreat educational app for both kids and adults! The art is beautiful and it offers unusual and interesting facts..Version: 4.0.1
✓ Gripping and fun, if flawedWhile I agree with other reviewers that this app could use more info (and, in some places, accurate info), it still gets 5 stars from me, for the sheer joy of navigating the globe. I guess it makes sense that this is for kids, but I honestly didn't even know that earlier today when I spent two hours soaking it all up. I love the interaction, the music, the voice overs. I giggled like a schoolgirl when I first tapped the little camera and was shown a real photo. I know, easy to please. I'm also already a big fan of history and anthropology, so this was a bit of a "kid in a candy store" experience. A treasure chest. I hope the creators will continue to add more, and correct the mistakes that have got folks up in arms. Brilliant app. I hope that by the time I do have kids, this will be rich and accurate and fully developed..Version: 2.2.7
✓ Fascinating.I'm 21 and downloaded because it looked intriguing. It just needs more content with regards to real pictures of the landmarks. Very good for kids though..Version: 2.2.7
✓ Good but where are the landmarks?This is an amazing app and I could literally spend hours just browsing, clicking on things and simply learning about the world. Just wish there was more famous land marks ie Big Ben..Version: 2.2.7
✓ Amazing content and great puzzles!This app is amazing. The spinning globe is so fun to explore, the illustrations are gorgeous, the content is really interesting and informative, and the games are actually really fun! My favorite is the game where you have to match the flags to the country shapes. Literally entertained me for a full hour on a flight once. Great app! Highly recommend..Version: 4.0.0
✓ Fun, Interactive App!I tried this out myself before letting my 9 yr old use it. I love the rich colors and the landmarks! The dimensional landmarks help to learn the regions/countries. When you double tap on a landmark, it gives the name of what you are looking at and has the option of hearing the description instead of reading it (great for young children!) The Barefoot World Atlas is an App that will appeal to all ages (yes, even adults.). It has many layers of learning which will keep you entertained for a long time. This app is great for visual learners and those with special needs. The only downside (for me) is that the British accent doesn't always pronounce things the way we do in my region. I also wish it had a landmark for MA/RI. I can definitely recommend this app!.Version: 1.1.0
✓ FabLove this app, as does my 3 year old. He loves the animation and has learnt so many things as we've travelled around the globe. He keeps asking to play on this app so to me it's worth the money..Version: 1.1.0
✓ AmazingSuch a great app. Really wish there were more features though..Version: 2.2.7
✓ Love it!Love it! This app is beautiful, the music is lovely and changes in accordance to where you are in the world. Some reviews have said it is more for younger children, but I am twelve and find this application very informative, and a fun alternative to telly in the evening! If your children have mates round, then they can show them and have fun on it together. For some reason, my iPad can only produce sound on this application when head phones are plugged in which is my only criticism, how ever this could be a fault on only my iPad, but is defo something to consider if you are going to spend £9.99..Version: 1.1.0
✓ So much fun!This is much better than the previous version. My nephew and I love taking a peek at all the fun places. The quizzes are fun for adults too!.Version: 4.0.1
✓ Amazing!This app is an extremely useful tool..Version: 2.2.7
✓ Kept the interest of my childIt is a good simple atlas.Version: 2.2.7
✓ Awesome fun learning appYes this app is intended for kids but as an adult I think it's awesome! I've learnt things from it and it's a fun way to get around the globe! Well worth the money.Version: 1.1.0
✓ Very solid and good educational valueThis app is great. Not sure about those other negative reviews. The interface is easy to use. The conversations that have occurred as my two and four year old kids explore the globe have been meaningful. They love the exploratory nature of the app, and switching from audio information, to the actual photograph, back to the animated atlas view. As an educator myself, I'm pleased and impressed with how this atlas hooks the learner and provides differentiated content to address multiple intelligences. Explore for twenty minutes a week with your child and you'll be amazed at what they'll retain about this wonderful world of ours. We recently 'invested' in two expansion packs - North America and World Art. Both are good as these were two areas that my kids wanted more info on, but I hold back a star only because I would like to be able to synch the expansion packs with the standard atlas so all the info could be accessed from the same source. I recognize that this would make the globe extremely cluttered - all those state and provincial flags on their own add a lot - and might make the interface more cumbersome, but it might be cool too!.Version: 3.0.7
✓ Gé-ni-al!!!!!^^.Version: 3.0.1
✓ 4/5This is an incredible app. It has taught me several new facts about geography. But unfortunately, I’m starting to notice that the app is a little bit broken. For example, some of the pictures on the Point Of Interests are not interactive. Otherwise, it’s a great app..Version: 4.0.4
✓ Amazing app!I love this app. Really beautiful graphics and lovely soundtrack accompany an interactive and educational view of the globe. Far superior to an actual globe, I might add! I use this app with my toddler (3yr old) and expect to use it for a few years to come with him. Well worth the money, I couldn't recommend it highly enough..Version: 2.0.0
✓ No sound?My 14 year old son so enjoyed this app 10 years ago. He absolutely loved the music and narration! Now my 5 year old would love to try it but there is no sound- have tried uninstalling it several times but nothing works- how do I get sound to work?.Version: 4.0.5
✓ Good for the right age groupsIt ain't Wikipedia, and it could use more of a guided tour, but there's lots of good detail here still..Version: 2.2.10
✓ Love itMy kids love this app and go to it often..Version: 2.1.0
✓ Taiwan!!Really happy your atlas respects Taiwan as a country..Version: 4.0.5
✓ Very Good - NiceThis app is really good. It is great if you want to learn about the basics of different countries and it also has an item or two about each country. The way it works is excellent, nice 3D real time movements and great shortcut buttons so we can quickly access different regions, countries and elements (like animals and land marks) What is also great is a few animals are also covered. The audio is nice as it changes based on the region you are hovering over. The app is simple and easy to use... Well done...Version: 2.2.9
✓ Great for kids!Fab app, our 6 yo loves it, as well as us! Yes, there are landmarks etc missing but they couldn't possibly put everything! Really good for learning basic facts. Colourful and easy to navigate too.Version: 2.2.7
✓ Fun AND educational!Learning about new parts of the world is the best :).Version: 4.0.1
✓ ShockingWhat a waste of money. Basic information lacking integrity An atlas that lacks information for its showpieces. Insulting to indigenous races showing stereotypical representations that are considered offensive in the home country. Very disappointing..Version: 1.1.0
✓ How do I turn the sound offGreat app but no settings menu to turn off the music.Version: 4.0.1
✓ Beautifully illustrated and super intuitiveAn awesome kids app for learning all about the world we live in. Recommended!.Version: 1.1.0
✓ Fun facts and so beautifulI really enjoy the art of this app. there’s lots of globe apps but the illustrations set this one apart. the facts are also so much more globally orientated than others that are only about US or Europe and whatnot..Version: 4.0.1
✓ Very informative.Great for kids and adults. A lot of work went into this. Good music, very colourful, and easy to understand..Version: 2.2.9
✓ AppmazingI've never ever written a review and I've downloaded hundreds of apps. I've downloaded this for my son, who wants to know where america is, so he can visit spiderman (he is 2 and a half, so is forgiven for never seeing a globe). When I was little I had great fun looking at the atlas with my dad, but my goodness I can't wait to sit down with Jude and show him this masterpiece of App magic! It's fun, clever, not obvious, colourful, informative and really beautiful. Well done. I'd pay you twice for this app. In fact I reckon I will add it to the little home bar, so it's as findable as possible - keep developing and rock on! X.Version: 2.0.0
✓ Love the puzzles, quizzes and facts!We recently downloaded this app on my son’s iPad and he loves spinning the globe and zooming in to explore different parts of the world. The quizzes about transportation and animals have been a huge hit. There are videos, songs and puzzles - I love that it is educational and fun and making him curious about the world’s diversity, definitely recommend this app!.Version: 4.0.0
✓ LovelyMy 5 year old daughter spent a couple of quiet hours browsing this the other day with plenty more to dip into. It has also helped my understanding of geography... not my strong point before. Easy to use and the photos are a great addition, bringing it more to life. Love it..Version: 1.1.0
✓ A fun app but very limited infoSo Ok this is for age 4+, but my geography recall and knowledge of flags is so basic that the level was about right! I have used it so far to embed knowledge of relative positions of countries in Europe plus their flags, and now working around the globe. The information per country is just ridiculously limited. Basically one fact and a few stats. So don’t expect your children to learn much about each location. I downloaded Brittanica for that purpose (and there is always Google / Google Maps of course. Also, I would like to listen to my own music while browsing, but this app takes charge of the sound when it launches. Yes, I have switched off the music using settings / atlas. But there is no option to switch off the sound effects, which are annoying so have to turn the sound down when using it. It’s quite fun to use even for adults and I am sure that children must love it..Version: 4.0.4
✓ SI - Metric SystemSurely, you could have a setting for changing to metric. Otherwise, nice app..Version: 3.0.3
✓ World Atlas, A Great SuccessLoving this new app! My son couldn't put it down for an hour and considering this app is a fountain of useful information, I really didn't mind. User friendly, and easy for children to learn some educational,fun,and interesting facts without overwhelming them.Love the fun colourful graphics and the music! I would highly recommend this app! Way to go Barefoot Books!.Version: 1.1.0
✓ Good for pre-school and early primaryA nice app for exploration by pre-school and early primary students as it doesn't require much reading. There is a nice variety of things, and less common things mentioned for my country (Australia) but I did feel like some really essential and important landmarks around the globe were missing. Overall, a great app but a little over priced..Version: 1.1.0
✓ GreatAmazing.Version: 3.0.9
✓ ExcellentThis app is fabulous. The update 21 hours ago is a real success however I am disappointed by the World of Football being taken off. I thought it was a good touch and it would keep the teenage generation. This app is years old but it’s still incredible. It gives a virtual 3D tour with illustrations of animals, buildings, cars and art. Each equipped with a real photo and facts. The pictures need to be updated to stay up to date. To stay relevant which I will always think they are, they should set up a page where people upload a photo or two and they choose the first two pictures to be uploaded on to the app. It would be great to hear back. Wonderful World-class app. BRING BACK FOOTBALL.Version: 4.0.1
✓ One good app!Makes geography interesting! Aim for children yet still so informative and attractive for adults! The app loads fine with no bugs experienced yet! I'm loving it ❤.Version: 2.2.7
✓ This app is the bestWhen I was 5 or so, my grandma got me this app and I fell in love with it, now being ten, I love this app still, and this app helped me understand and geography, and I recommend it, thanks to the app, I know countries and capitals like they’re on the back of my hand..Version: 3.0.12
✓ Engaging but inaccurateThe elk label is attached to a picture of a moose. The app said that elk are known as moose - they are totally different animals and look quite different..Version: 3.0.11
✓ Great way to keep little globetrotters engagedI’d downloaded this app a few years ago, before my kids were actually old enough to use it. With them now home for the rest of the school year, we revisited and discovered the upgrade! Especially love the quizzes and global art parts. The kids like spinning the globe! With both illustrations and photographs, this app is an entertaining way to learn about our world that appeals to both my 6 and 9 year-old..Version: 4.0.1
✓ WowI’m a 10 year old girl who has always been interested in facts. This app is great and I love the animation. I have gotten all the packs and I’ve never regretted it. This app is like a textbook that kids will get excited about. Pls just get the app!.Version: 3.0.10
✓ Iz kearnsWow! This app is amazing. It's excellently interactive and visually stimulating. I work as a year 2 teacher the children are aged 6 and 7 and this app suits them just right. They can access the information easily and most are able to read it independently. I also showed this app to my brother in law who works as a secondary school teacher he thought it would even suit his age group too due to the statistical information. It is super for just refreshing the memory about the placements of those countries you have heard of but can't quite remember where they are! Definitely worth the low cost..Version: 2.1.0
✓ Brilliant appThis a brilliant well made app a wealth of information here, I learnt things I did t know about a lot of places. I felt like a school kid with an encyclopaedia in hand again it's fun. However there is a lot of room for improvement I believe developer should allow users to input valuable info about their own country. That will complete this atlas for that reason and that reason only I give a 4 star other wise it's a 5 star from me. Fab keep up the good work..Version: 2.2.7
✓ Great app and now glitches!Now glitches on ipad 6 and a GRATE APP!.Version: 4.0.4
✓ Amazing Fun App!I love this app! It's filled with beautiful with a hand drawn charm to all the animated art in it. It has a lot of fun facts and quirkiness to it that kids would love. I don't understand why people are complaining here but I had no issues loading this on my iPhone 6S or iPad Air. People ranting about space, really? Get a life. The high resolution animated art and other aspects of the design require it. I think people complain too much and don't appreciate things. I've used this app for a couple years and it never gets old just for fun and can't wait to introduce my daughter to it :).Version: 3.0.10
✓ What an amazing app!The whole family loves spinning the globe, discovering animated features and exploring countries and regions. My 11-year-old is particularly enjoying the puzzles. I highly recommend it for both fun and for learning!.Version: 4.0.1
✓ AtlasTrès amusant! :).Version: 2.2.7
✓ GoodGood.Version: 2.2.7
✓ Great appLove every bit of it!.Version: 4.0.1
✓ Fantastic puzzles and quizzes!Love this app! So much amazing content to keep kids occupied and engaged at a time when we really need this. The match the flag quizzes and art puzzles are informative and challenging!.Version: 4.0.1
✓ An atlas kids want to browseThis is a beautiful and engaging app and the interface is relatively intuitive. I love the animated icons and the music/sounds that change depending on the region you are browsing. My toddler son lives to spin the globe and click on objects that interest him. My 5th grade son went straight for areas of interest to him. We all enjoy the 3D images associated with some of the features and wish there were more. The optional narration is terrific for children who are not yet able to read, but pronunciation of some local place names or objects is wrong, making it feel a little biased. Also, some of the photos do not match the location with which they are associated. I hope future refinements take this into account, but we will continue to use and enjoy this..Version: 1.1.0
✓ The best educational app!Barefoot World Atlas app is fun and educational. I love spinning the globe to find a new place to discover. Plus the quizzes really put your knowledge to a test! If you’re looking for an interactive way to learn about the world: continents, art, different cultures, you’re in the right spot. You’ll encounter so much more! Perfect for kids and adults alike..Version: 4.0.1
✓ Gorgeous and engagingThe artwork is stunning and the information in this app is presented sensitively and with such depth. Highly recommend 😊.Version: 4.0.1
✓ It's the best app ever!It's so amazing there all different countries to explore and see and tells you about what currency they use, What time it is, and all that lot it the best app ever!.Version: 2.2.7
✓ CoolThe figures and characters are cute it helps my friend who's 4 she loves the app it's awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!! :):):).Version: 2.2.7
✓ Interactive, educational, colorfulThe title says it all. I love this app for little ones. They love moving the globe around with their fingers. The sound effects are adorable. This is a great introduction to the world around us. I recommend this app for anyone with children..Version: 4.0.1
✓ WonderfulThis app is great. My son is learning loads and enjoys it. Wish you could purchase upgrades with more information for my older son. Great for Lowe school children to learn about countries and animals that live there..Version: 2.2.10
✓ Fantastic AppTo all the people complaining that they can't download it, or it takes ages to download. that's because the App size is over 1GB due to all the information in it & you download it so you can use the app offline, & it runs faster that's not the App fault, that your crap broadband. I have 100MB with virgin & downloaded it in less than a minute & it works perfectly fine on my iPad 3 & my latest iPad. but I do agree with some of the other comments that there's not enough landmarks about the UK, but there again, as we're a tiny county, They probably ran out of room on the map & had nowhere to put them all! hehe lol, but that Angel of The North! Please, who wants to know about that pile of junk! :-D hehe. It's like TSB Bank gift of the iron man to Birmingham. When Lloyds brought TSB Bank & move there Head Office out of Birmingham City Centre, they should of took their pile of Junk crap gift from outside their old head office & fecked off with ;-D..Version: 2.2.7
✓ Fascinating app - hours of funGreat app, full of interesting facts to keep children busy and informed (especially on long car journeys!) The UFOs are a personal favourite. Love that I now can have this on my iPhone too..Version: 2.0.0
✓ Love this app!I use this app in my kindergarten classroom, and we just love it! It's not meant to be exhaustive, but it is a wonderful overview with a lot of interesting highlights. Excellent for understanding our world in general. I can hardly wait to see the references to the beautiful country of Canada become more developed in this app!.Version: 2.2.3
✓ Amazing app!I couldn't believe how many hours this app entranced my kids for... Every morning they run for my iPad and spend the rest of the day telling me facts about the world! Amazing! Fun and educational... Couldn't recommend it more highly!.Version: 2.0.0
✓ Fantastic app👍👍👍👍What a fantastic app I have no idea why people say that this app is boring but I don't think that this is boring and it is well worth the money and the massive 1.45. OKAY the app crashes. And what a beautiful app they made keep up the good work🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏.Version: 3.0.9
✓ Great for your kid & you'll learn something too,,This app is awesome!! Even though this app was designed for an older child, even my not yet 5-year-old daughter loved it & wanted to keep exploring. Then my husband & I spent 2 hours exploring & learned all kids of fun & useful info!! Great reference in 3d for country facts plus tons of info on landmarks, animals, you name it!! Cool as a stand alone or a supplement to the Barefoot Books World Atlas. My daughter has a number of Barefoot Books as well, & as we read their stories from around the world, she always wants to know more about the particular country from which the story hails. A great interactive app to get kids excited about the world around them, enhance their geography lessons in a fun way or just explore. A fun refresher for adults too - including landmarks, animals & other important features of countries & continents. You could spend weeks exploring this app & still find something new. Plus you have the option of narrated descriptions, so great for a wide range of ages. Great animation plus beautiful hand painted features, much like the fab illustrations in the book itself. Check out the Barefoot Books site to see for yourself!!.Version: 1.1.0
✓ Works beautifully. And now the expansion packs are all includedGreat app after bugs were addressed. Very enjoyable and butter smooth on iPad Pro. Thank you!.Version: 4.0.4
✓ Educational & Fun!A fantastic app that is well worth the money for anyone with young kids or someone just interested in learning fun facts about the world. Easy to use, the artwork / graphics are amazing. It'd be a great help for school projects or just for inspiring learning in inquisitive young minds. Would be good to see updates to increase places of interest, more information on the countries and possibly adding more detail into the map in terms of states / regions within countries. Well done guys!.Version: 1.1.0
✓ ExcellentThe children in my Year 4 class really love to use this app during golden reading time. I love the fact that it reads the information for you, as this is really useful for some of my weaker readers who are interested in finding out more about the world! It's a shame I can't install the latest update due to not having enough 'local storage' (despite having 4gb free?!)..Version: 2.2.3
✓ Wow! So much to discover!It's truly amazing how much really interesting information is in this app. I've been playing with it for hours and I'm still discovering new things. I've learnt so much already that I didn't know — and the animations make it magical to use. Happy to have bought such a great app. The perfect teaching aid for anyone with children, I'm sure; and brilliant for us adults, too!.Version: 1.1.0
✓ Great exploration app - confirmed by 5 year oldI really wanted something more redeeming than slinging birds when travelling this summer, so this app seemed to fit the criteria being a combination of travelling, exploration, and education. My 5 year old son understood how to use this right away - pinch to zoom, swipe to move, tap to view. He really liked the animations. While the descriptions are short, this encouraged my son ended up asking a lot of questions like "Why are there so many locusts?". I think the short descriptions are great since attentionspans aren't always the greatest. However, I do wish for an option to have more detailed descriptions. My 3 year old daughter just wanted to see things move and wasn't too insterested in the information. Which was fine since she was still getting a sense of how big the world is and the different things in it. The 1.5GB download was actually great since I was travelling with the kids. I didn't want to have to pay roaming fees. For the price for a 1.5GB app, that's pretty good value I think. Overall, a great app for kids if you can get over the hefty download and the slightly higher price. I personally think it's great and worth the money and entertainment / education it has provided. Some bugs: - Animations don't always expand when an item is tapped. - Narrations don't always play when item is expanded forcing you to press the "+" key to hear it (okay if your child has the dexterity, frustrating when they don't) Some suggestions for improvement: 1. Ability to hide capital cities - there are no animations or narrations for these items and my kids aren't interested in them. When they click on one by accident they go "uh-oh!" like they did a mistake. 2. Descriptions of items should also have links to Wikipedia or some other service so you can get additional information. 3. Some of the photos can be improved, or multiple photos be shown. Perhaps link to Flickr images or some other service would help a lot. Ability to zoom in a photo / higher resolution images are desperately needed since kids want to see details. 4. Offline / Download-on-demand option - give the user the option to download all 1.5GB from inside the app, or deliver content over the Internet as needed (bandwidth isn't free, so a proper funding model needs to be in place)..Version: 2.0.0
✓ Much better after updateThe recent update makes it possible to do the different quizzes on an iPad, and it is now as it should be. The information is very helpful to learn more about regions or individual countries of the world. Very nice app and I will say that the makers of the app were responsive about fixing the glitches with the previous version!.Version: 4.0.4
✓ Update PLZ!Add These Countries: Abkhazia Adygea Åland Islands Altai Republic Anjouan Córsica Netherlands Antilles Republica Spraska Riau Shetland Somaliland And Tuva.Version: 3.0.13
✓ Beautiful!This is just glorious! The animation is gorgeous and the music is fab. You can get lost roaming round the world, exploring all the landmarks and then other animals/artefacts/buildings I'd never even heard of! Look at the great pyramid and then some other enticing gem will catch your eye and before you know it, you've been around the world twice! Geography has never been more addictive. And with the option to search by country or region, it's also a hugely informative, accessible and enjoyable resource. My only criticism is that I'd like more photos - but I suppose it's a springboard to researching further. Overall, an exceptional app..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Beautiful but...Very disappointed to see the you have to pay for the new extra features, even when you paid double what it costs now, over a year ago....Version: 3.0.1
✓ Great AppLove this app. After a semi-recent issue, updates fixed this app and restored it to its former glory. Love how interactive, simple, and fun it is to learn. Great for all ages..Version: 4.0.1
✓ Bang for your buckIt's amazing how much has been crammed into this app. Music and sound effects change as you move around different parts of the world and select different places (headphones are a must!), mesmerising animations bring the whole globe to life, and the data/stats/rankings for each country bring so much extra information if you really want to look into it. Just tapping any text box to have it read aloud is fantastic and keeps the kids entertained for hours! Great app all round. I wish there was a way to easily find the rotations I saw in the demo video, but I have to admit that having to hunt for them has been a lot of fun anyway...Version: 1.1.0
✓ AppAwsome app.Version: 2.2.7
✓ Likeable AppColourful, interesting and informative. Really enjoyable 3D tour and sound effects. Good alternative way to find out about the countries of the world - especially for children who are stimulated to learn through technology. Great to use in school, at home or on the move :).Version: 3.0.9
✓ Wow!I got this app today, I'm very impressed with how much info it actually tells you, its not just the name of the country it has everything you might find interesting. Fab app great job, my boys will also love it and its educational as well as fun!.Version: 2.2.7
✓ Fun to workMy previous review was a mistake . Persian gulf is there :) thanks.Version: 2.2.7
✓ Good appFirst time I've used it today and found it packed with facts and animations, its ideal for kids let alone adults. It did take agessssssss to download but hey not end of the world having to wait !.Version: 2.2.7
✓ FunNot meant to be the last word on what an atlas is, this app nevertheless makes the world fun and makes you want to get out there and see it!.Version: 2.2.9
✓ A work of art!This atlas is more than an app — it’s a work of art! All of the maps and icons are hand-painted. You just don’t see that kind of attention to detail in many apps. This app has been a family favorite for years..Version: 4.0.1
✓ Just amazingI was in the advert for this. I rember using it. It was a long time ago but now I have got it, it's even better..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Its very goodThe quality is very good and is very educational to kids, I recommend getting this for your kids to help them learn..Version: 3.0.13
✓ Barefoot World AtlasAfter yesterday's little load up glitch, this app is back firing on all cylinders, in fact it is even better than before. I spoke to the developers by email and had a super speedy response, in fact when I thanked them they responded back within 5mins. Thanks Max. You get your five stars back pronto. Ps the Olympic medal table inclusion made me smile. Can't rate this app enough a fabulous learning app for children and parents. ******** a GOLD medal winner..Version: 2.0.0
✓ MrIt's great but why does it keep exiting.Version: 3.0.3
✓ First classI'm nearly a pensioner, yet I've sat glued to my iPod for endless hours just tapping and zooming around this fascinating atlas. The attention to detail is outstanding. It's such a pleasure homing in on one subject then following links to anywhere your fancy takes you. The music is a joy, changing to fit where ever you find yourself. One of my very favourite apps..Version: 3.0.3
✓ Not badMy 5 year old daughter with mild autism loves countries, flags, capitals etc, so she enjoys this app. If you're looking for a comprehensive atlas, this is not the app for you. If you're looking for an interactive tool for kids to learn more about the world, this could fit the bill. It's easy to navigate and once a child is shown what each symbol represents, it's easy for them to investigate more by themselves. Good value when compared to anything similar available in print. Has some big holes (excuse the pun), e.g. No grand canyon. Beware the HUGE download size..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Great for my 8 yr oldMy 8 yr old son is dyslexic, and this atlas is fabulous for him because it is narrated! we use it together to learn about different regions, and since it is narrated, he also enjoys exploring it on his own. its a valuable addition to our homeschooling. please consider adding narration to the add-on packs!!.Version: 3.0.11
✓ Kids like it.Update: problem fixed. Kids have loads of fun wth this app. It's kinda big, and the research is iffy at best, but no worse than most things targeted at this age group. Withdrawn: Unable to download since new update. As of 2016/08/30, this app can't be used. Used to be a fun app for the kids. Once it is usable again, will update to the 4 stars it otherwise deserves..Version: 3.0.10
✓ Great musicShould have a soundtrack too..Version: 2.2.7
✓ Geography teacherI'm a middle school geography teacher and I am so excited about this app! Finally, an app that is more than just a game involving memorizing countries and capital city locations! I disagree with another reviewer that said to link it to Wikipedia - please don't!!!I love the fact that it doesn't because Wikipedia tends to give too much information that 10-11 year old kids won't fully read or understand. Some other apps do this and from my experience, it's not kid friendly! I love the short, concise paragraphs that give a snapshot of something related to the culture! Having the option to have it read aloud is perfect for struggling readers! I love this!!! My only wish would be that you could click on the physical features, too, and learn about those, as well. I see many of the mountains, rivers, etc. labeled on the map but you can't click on them. If this were added, this app would be AMAZING!!!.Version: 1.1.0
