Does not seem to work

Example: "Name six countries in South America", you have to press answer, then select correct or false from the answer it gives you. Just that it gives you a list of all South Ameriacm countries. This type of question is not a right or wrong one, though, meaning, I should be able to write down the countries myself, or select from a list. Additionally, all the answers it gives you are correct. Maybe that's a fluke in single player mode? Gave it 2 stars because the idea is good.
Terrible

This is a really silly app. It asks a question & ticks away the time while you think. It gives you the answer and then you tell it whether you answered correctly or not. It does not give you any options nor does it have any maps or diagrams. Terrible.
Seriously?

The correct and incorrect are spelled incorrectly??? They say corrent and incorrent??? Brilliant for a child to learn from...NOT! Don't waste your time with this one.
I like it!

It misses getting 5 stars only because I really like maps and it has none. And flags would be nice too. Otherwise, this is a dandy app! Play is either multiple choice or flashcard. Set to multiple choice you can guess, or deduce, an answer and if you were wrong, the right answer is given. Once you have learned much of the answers, switch to flashcard play where the there are no hints to the right answer. Score is kept for each player. In the free version, only two players are allowed. I presume the grayed out 3 and 4 are active in the paid upgrade. The questions groups can be turned on and off, so the question pool can be limited.
Wrong answers

For example it asks how many countries make up the Iberian Peninsula. It says the answer is four and includes Gibraltar and Andorra. Gibraltar is a British Overseas Territory, not a country. The Romans defined Iberia as running from the sea to the start of the Pyrenees. That is, it did not include the Pyrenees. The Romans also referred to people of Iberian stock who lived in the Pyrenees. Now if they regarded the Pyrenees as Iberian, no native Latin speaker could say that. Further the Romans often defined Iberia as that which was this side of the river Ebro or, as the Roman's called it, the river Iberios. Clearly none of that includes the Pyrenees. But if one takes a liberal view using the middle of the mountain range as the border, then France, specifically Cartagne, is in Iberia as well.
