266 countries, amazing and I can touch them all!

Amazing didn't realize there was so many countries in the world and that they are mostly all wired to the internet. The fact I can double-tap to view google maps was great. At dinner tonight as a friend wanted to see the Palace in East Timor as he actual was THERE this summer, we zoomed down to his favourite beach. 389 ms I'm told to echo to East Timor somewhere. Emailed the developer again, they tell me they added day & night time views to this now, but I found the cloud data a bit har har *cloudy*. But in 1.2 you can turn that off. App just gets better and better over time. At least now I can see if my telephone company actually is providing access to any country in the world and how spotty their service is. You do wonder if our government or telco is block access to certain countries, this proves they are not., at least for me.

Probably one of the more unique ways of using a "google earth format". I have to say the live cloud-cover and light terminator was pretty cool. I found myself wasting some time on the bus watching storm clouds forming off the west coast, and was completely unsurprised to get hit by heavy winds that evening. The ability to know just how well my isp is connecting me to each country is pretty cool too. (I was disappointed that the ping time to where my brother moved to is so high). Given the high turn around on updates, and the number of interesting features being added each time, I'll go with a 5 for an interesting app + effort. The free part is a bonus. It would be nice to see better resolution and a more definite location mapping for different cities etc.Edit: Oh, there's a pro version, nm.

Works fine

I like this WorldPulse app, though I'm not sure how useful or practical it is.I'm sorry a previous reviewer was so negative about it, and didn't understand the "gibberish" on the information screen, and also failed to locate the "[x]" in the lower left corner of the screen in order to clear it.I can't find much to fault in the app, and what faults exist may not be the developer's fault (the map resolution and overlays).Thus, I'll give this 5 stars for now, for doing exactly what it claims, doing it well, and doing it with a bit of flair!

At first I thought this a waste of time and space But I have learned to appreciate it. It does exactly what it says and in an entertaining manner I was quite impressed with the realism of the day night terminator and the correct inclination of the globe and it's location in its orbit around the sun The latter can be inferred by looking at the perpetual daytime nighttime conditions at each geographic pole Good job One bell and whistle would be the option to rotate the globe with the inclination locked ;)
