Map-Quiz 4+

Map-Quiz is the best app for learning geography, for reasons written by earlier reviewers: it is free, completely uncluttered by ads, and has a clean user interface. Yes, for those who miss Geomaster, this is a solid replacement. In addition, the developer is responsive to both events (adding Ukrainian oblasts) and feedback (updating country names).

With this app, in just a few minutes each day, you can learn useful geographical information. Since finding the app a couple of days ago, I have revived my knowledge of Europe, learned South America, and realized how little I know of US territories and Caribbean islands (which the app will help me with!). With Map-Quiz, anyone can reasonably work towards identifying the locations of all 200+ countries in the world.

Map-Quiz is a generous gift, allowing everyone with access to the App Store a way to learn geography. If the developer is looking for ways to enhance the app, I would love to see (1) the option for a sturdier typeface, because this one is a little thin for my aging eyes; (2) physical features such as bodies of water, mountains, and deserts; (3) additional interior regions besides those already found in the app. I would also be delighted to see an option for countries to be labeled by their autonyms (e.g. España for Spain) -- this would be beautiful, although perhaps too unwieldy for countries that use different scripts or have multiple official languages.

I've downloaded several geography games because I'm trying to be a responsible human in the world. They all have weird ads they force you to watch or else ask me to shell out a bunch of money (which is fine - they deserve to be paid for their work. It's just that my desire to be a responsible human doesn't go THAT far). Also: the quiz styles are often multiple choice, which doesn't translate to a real world context.

In so glad I found this app! It's wonderful: no ads, no demands for money, and exactly the style of quiz I was looking for. Hooray I'm already learning so much! Thank you for making this beautiful app and giving it to us!

There was a geography game several years ago called Geomaster II that I played religiously—it taught me the location of every country in the world and sparked a real interest in geography. That game disappeared 7-8 years ago. I tried in vain to find a replacement but no other geography game stacked up favorably. Until now! I love the simplicity and the design of this game. Playing it a ton, all the old knowledge is finally coming back.

My one request—add Indian provinces and Chinese provinces! These two countries are home to >33% of the earth’s population. I’d love to be able to use this game to learn the layout of those countries.
