Reviews
Extremely Tiny Font, No Accessibility Options
mini_zOmbrie
Most applications (especially those which mainly involve reading) have accessibility options for users to toggle the font size. Not only is the font sIze for this app very tiny and non-adjustable but it is also a grey color instead of black, adding to eye strain and a displeasurable user experience. A bummer and a waste of money for those of us who don’t enjoy straining to read.
Handy reference

I often refer to this to find basic facts about a country (population, pivotal historical events, flag images). This app is super useful and glitch free!
Everything I could have asked for

This is a fantastic app if you are interested in learning about the world. Once you buy the app initially, everything else is free as there’s no in-app purchases. Information on every country and territories’s history, economy, people, government, their flag symbolism and more is featured in an easy to access way.
A must have App!!

The title says it all!! This is one of my favorite apps and is perfect for anybody!
Great App.

This is a great app for what it is. It's not flashy but it's not meant to be. It's very well designed, easy to use and navigate. It's incredibly informative, the country information is as current as one really needs it to be (if anything were out of date it'd be due to sudden recent turmoil). I use this app often and enjoy it, it's a great little informative app to have. My single nag would be that I'd like to be able to retract the keyboard while searching countries. Great app, well done.
Great resource.

I found this very informative but it could be made more accessible and user friendly but all around very good.
