Needs to be updated
The flags have changed since this app came out, they should also include some new wars and update some of the flags.
United StatesNo 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?
United StatesIts very good
The quality is very good and is very educational to kids, I recommend getting this for your kids to help them learn.
United StatesTaiwan!!
Really happy your atlas respects Taiwan as a country.
United StatesYou 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.
United States4/5
This 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.
United StatesGreat app spoiled by factual errors and odd choices
The 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.
