This is another great geography app from this developer. Clean and clear. Nice to have Central America broken out separately.

Initially, I thought this app was going to be terrific, since Central America is separate from North American. However, the app is missing several countries, which is disappointing. Such as, Bahamas, Puerto Rico, and Jamaica.
