Ratings and Reviews
Good for pre-school and early primary
A 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.
Update size is ridiculous
My 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!
Not bad
My 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.
