Description
Drag countries around to see their true size. You may be surprised!
Is Greenland really as big as South America?
Because the Earth is a sphere, it's impossible to show it perfectly on a flat map. This means all maps are distorted.
With this simple app, you can compare countries and see their actual sizes.
Just search or tap and hold on the country you'd like to explore. You can then move it around the map and watch it change size as it moves closer to or farther from the equator.
You'll also learn interesting facts about each place.
This is a great tool for teachers, kids, and anyone interested in geography.
Disclaimer regarding politics and disputed territories:
The primary purpose of this app is to provide an understanding of the relative sizes of countries. It is not intended to accurately reflect national boundaries or current political statuses. We apologize for any political inaccuracies that may exist now or in the future as territorial boundaries change.

Ratings and Reviews
Almost what I’m looking for
This app is definitely the closest thing I’ve been looking for for years. The fact that you can take a country and move it anywhere else with 360 degrees of rotation is great. If you could just lay it over another country, freeze the size, then move it to the corresponding latitude that it came from, you could compare the placement of two different cities, like turning Australia 180 degrees, put it over the US, freeze it, then move it to the corresponding latitudes where it would lie in the Northern Hemisphere, and compare Los Angeles with Sydney. Geeky, I know, but the app is as good as it gets for now.
Great but app crashes…
Hello, I love this app and use it daily, but, I have come across a problem. Most, if not all of the times I use the app, it will randomly crash after a bit of time. It gives me no choice but to restart the app, making me restart the project that I am doing. It can be frustrating to have been piecing together a continent for 10 minutes, only for it to crash and having to restart. There is no way to predict when it will crash so I am always on edge, trying to hurry what I am doing before it will crashes. The devices I am using are an iPhone 13 Pro, and an iPad 8th generation, so I don’t think it has to do with the devices. I do not think I am the only one experiencing this problem though, as there are multiple reviews concerning the same problem. I think it would help to fix these bugs, as it would enrich the app and it would benefit the community. If you have read this, THANK YOU!! This app has a lot of potential, and it would only make it better if I didn’t have to worry about these bugs!
Interesting Learning Tool
This app is great understand of the scale of the world. I’ve used it to lay Hawaii over my own state of Ohio, to gain an understanding of how large the islands are. I’ve also filled the state of Texas with several Ohios, and was surprised to realize how large it is.
I compared the country of Peru to Mexico and realized they are about the same size, which is hard to visualize when looking at a regular map or globe.
I recommend this app to anyone who wants to understand the scale of the world bit more clearly. It’s fun for curious minds, and useful for travelers.
