Fun and Challenging; Need Continent Focus Option

I thought I knew my geog., but under pressure not so much. Good reinforcement tool. Need to be able to concentrate on one continent or region at a time. Please add.
GEOGRAPHY MANIA!!

I love this app!! I have learned so much in a very short time while having fun. The only improvement that I would like to see is a more definite highlight of a country or capital when I was unable to locate it. Sometimes it takes me too long to locate the correct location to memorize for the next go around, because I cannot see the highlight readily.
Fantastic!

Our whole family loves this! We are all competing for highest score. I used to be hopeless at geography, but after one week with this app, I can identify all 197 countries consistently. It's addictive! The music is great and the speed factor makes the scoring more interesting and exciting.

NEED: a review quiz of all countries missed Beautiful music but we should have the option for the kids to turn off just the music **after review, there's no screen to show results- Very difficult to keep track of where improvements should be made.. Maybe itemized list.. If I'm looking over the shoulder the correct/incorrect window is always the same color, So I never can tell how well she's doing until the end. Otherwise so nice.
Great game...

I've now played it so much I've started associating the colors to the countries. In the next installment, if the colors changed randomly I think it would add to the difficulty. What about being able to change the speed of the timer? oh that would be cool.
Missing Kosovo

I really enjoy this app. I've mastered the countries in a few evenings. I just wish it was updated to include Kosovo and some of the other island nations.
EXCELLENT App!!!!!

EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT app!!!!! I have hundreds of geographical apps, and this might be the best of all!!!!! I love the details (showing the capital and country names, the precise location, practice mode, etc). The app is challenging, educational and perfect!!! Runs so smoothly, so slick!!!! I will buy anything educational you develop!!!!
Sturdy app, but weak on features.

I have been using Speed Geo for years, it's not flashy but reliable.
