Wish I would have had this app in High School?

I would have been an A+ student of geography with this app! Within 1 hour, I learned all the countries in Africa! I have told so many about this app!
Terrible.

The only quiz immediately available is the one on world currencies. You have to pay to learn actual maps. Ridiculous micro transactions.
Definitely Useful

The interface leave a little to be desired. But I definitely used this to learn the world currencies, capitols, and flags. I wish it had provinces for foreign countries.
This app is wonderful!!!

I purchased this app because of an obvious lack of knowledge when it came to geography. As a junior in high school, I knew less than I'd like to admit. Joining my school's Knowledge Bowl team this year made that clear to me, and it's what made me search for an app like this. Yes, it costs money, but it is so incredibly worth it. I bought the app just three days ago and I now have the locations of every country in The Americas and Europe memorized. It's a great feeling. If you're honest and disciplined while using this app, I guarantee you'll be very happy with the results too.
Love this app

Better to play than something mindless. Easy to play and fun! I love the way the app quizzes in various ways.
Fast fun learning!

Have never been very good at geography but wanted to learn the countries around the world. Impressed with how easy, fast, and fun it is!
A few errors but still alright

Overall, the app works well and I have learned a lot. However, in the Asia countries deck Singapore is missing (and arguably Taiwan), and Sri Lanka isn't highlighted when it shows up in the deck.
Meh

This app is just flash cards. All of this information is free on the Internet or at the library and you can make your own flash cards for much less money. If money is no object, go ahead and pay for the flash card app. Otherwise, get the info for free and make your own flash cards. There are free flash card apps. Making the flash cards yourself is part of the learning process and helps reinforce the information and is a better learning experience anyway. This app is not worth the money it costs.
