Excellent quick source of information!
As a geography lover I refer to this app frequently as I read a news account on a particular country. In a fast-moving world this app is invaluable. Great job by the developers!

United StatesLots of info
This app contains lots of information as advertised. A big let down is all measurements are in the metric system making much info useless unless one wants to obtain a metric measurement, leave this app to find the equivalent in American standard and then return to the app.

7 years agoThe Transportation section now includes two new fields related to a country’s air transport program. The lead-off entry “National air transport system” has subdivisions on the number of air carriers registered in a country and the number of aircraft they operate, as well as the number of passengers and the amount of freight they carry in a given year. The other new field, “Civil aircraft registration country code prefix,” describes the codes displayed on civil aircraft to identify nationality. A “Population distribution” field - describing the dispersion of the populace within a country - has been introduced for all of the countries of Europe under both the ‘Geography’ and ‘People & Society’ categories. The countries of the Western Hemisphere were previously introduced In the People and Society section, a "Demographic profile" field has been added to all 56 countries making up the African continent and its surrounding islands. This entry provides a snapshot of the demographic features and trends within a country and how they vary among regional, ethnic, and socioeconomic sub-populations. Some of the topics addressed are population age structure, fertility, health, mortality, poverty, education, and migration. The World Factbook is pleased to announce a new “Population distribution” entry describing the dispersion of the populace within a country. A country modifying its name does not occur very often but it did happen recently. Following UN and US State Department notification, the Czech Republic officially changed its English short-form name to Czechia as of 1 July 2016. Where appropriate, this change has been entered into The World Factbook database.
