Fantastic app, with a huge amount of data... very nice organized... but some data are wrong. For example after few minutes of use I found this data for Mongolia: Population-3,1 M... Area-1,6Mkm2... and then - Density-1,0 persons/km2. Instead of 2. So now I'm not sure about the rest of the data for others countries... UPDATED - data for Mongolia already corrected! 5 stars!
I would have loved to have a one on one handshake with the developer of this app, but since it's not possible for me, all what I have to say is kudos. But please, it will be very nice if you add the list of states or province in each of the countries.
A very helpful and informative app. The only reason I never gave the app five stars was the only way to vent my disappointment at the loss of the photographs of the participating countries. D. B. PD. AUSTRALIA.
Fantastic APP and worth it to spend approx a Euro to remove ads. As constructive feedback it would even be better if you could compare the statistics with each other in table or something.
Way too slow. 3 second pause after tapping answer. Would like an option in settings to adjust speed.
Very useful app. Lots of information. One issue i have noted is the pictures section no longer works.
what a great tool this app is, also would like to appreciate the fact that they enabled 3 mini-games on the app (just the one with National Anthem won't sound at all)
Looking up countries not finding what I'd like for like BRExit effects, population percentages, landmarks of tourist interest, not hostile takeovers and covert stuff, make friends not global thermonuclear war and terrorism...
1) it's a website - app. 2) With pop-up ads. UNINSTALLING!!
Very good and lovable, I can't express the quality by words, brilliant creativity
It is better to get a lot of knowledge every countries natural and manmade resources in the world
Better than the previous version. For Ethiopia, I doubt the total population figure.
Excellent interface, well curated info
Amazing app. Everything you need to know is in there
Ads are too annoying.
A fact geek's almanac, or at least about as close as you will come to an almanac searching via Google Play. Masterfully done!
Best info app but images are not success
This is great,alot of dedication involved,hope the world will reward you!

Good application .too good
I love this very much
This app made me to know good things
Great source book.
Great reference book.......
Trump still the president of USA????
Relax with knowledge
Works well, good for offline work, has been updated to recent information. That is, 2020, which seems to be the most recent that is downloadable from CIA. If you have I'net access, the maps can zoom way in or way out. Just bear in mind that although the information is good, it is presented from the US government's (specifically the CIA's) viewpoint.
