Great idea but inherently biased towards western countries and extremely outdated. Last update was in 2015 so it doesn't have any current information on world leadership, election results, rising political parties, healthcare laws, human rights issues, security, the refugee crisis, and countries' statuses after the MANY natural disasters over the last two years. Could be a great app if the developers would just update it.

Best app to learn about world facts. Very nice user interface. Only 2 things I can say 1) The map should be colourful like different colours for different countries and country labels should be there. 2) The whole app is in dark theme it will look better if it has a light theme. By the way very good app. Thanks ☺

The broad amount of data, well researched, current, correct and detailed - is matched by no other app I know of. When you consider why it was made, makes its accuracy unsurprising. Shame we cannot access the data the CIA consider confidential. Otherwise it's superb.

This app is nice but I hope you to change information about Korea and Japan. Sea of Japan is wrong name of Eastsea (Sea of Korea). Most of world maps were using that name until 19cen but, during russo japanese war they took the sea illegally. However, after Korean War U.S.A and UN declared that every regions plundered by Japan must return to Korea. So after WW2 Eastsea(Sea of Korea) is home of Korean again. I strongly recommend you to change information Sea of Japan to Eastsea (Sea of Korea).

Indeed it is from CIA World factbook, but, there are extra facts after the "quick fact" button. This app mostly contain some of bad side of other countries, US citizen must be very careful to go to another country, I must scroll the alliance button endless because the ribbon it is just too long for me.

I have been a fan of the actual book since I was a kid. But to be able to have it at your finger tips is almost as cool (because you can never out do an actual good book). If there is anything you could want to know geographically or geopolitically about our awesome planet, this is the app for you.

CIA has done a great work. The information is accurate and up to date. You can definitely trust the information. Good for investors who want to know about conditions in different countries. Good work.

Please can you make the maps with zoom. Even with glasses some of the names are too small to read

It needs to be updated imminent. Gilgit, Siachen , etc parts of Kashmir have been shown as non-Indian parts. It's not fair. Better if the map is shown in colourful physical and political type.

Too bad this hasn't been updated. It used to be useful but not anymore.

Chr. N. Jul 29, 2018     

Am not good in rating app but I give this app 5 for its simplicity and a very wide coverage of countries infos... More grease to your elbow Mr developer as you keep the good work on.... ..

Nik. N. Apr 15, 2016     

I would give 5 star, but there is some information that I lack, for example important events from the history, that had an impact while establishing of the country

Full of useful data of various countries you are interested in. I recommend this app to people who want to know more about countries all the world over.

Dam. T. Jan 4, 2017     

No jokes...this is probably one of the best apps in the world. The detailing is absolutely amazing! I have no idea what to do with all this information I swear. It has everything you could ever want or need to know...all in one app!

Myo. N. Jul 23, 2016     

Very nice and useful for me. This app brings more understanding about the world. The best app I ever had for world data. Thank you very much.

This is a great overview of world flags, geography, and basic facts about each country. I've had fun just using it to memorize the flags and capitals of the world.

Mad. T. Apr 6, 2017     

I am using this app for last one year and still most of the information are outdated . Now we are in 2017 and most of the information its shows are from 2014. Please try to sync with current updated

Mus. N. H. Feb 14, 2017     

Awesome. Well improved. But you should try and improve the map please, let it be seen from the continent with all the bordering Nations for easy identification. 👍

Chr. J. &. K. R. Jan 2, 2017     

I'm thrilled with how much information this app contains. It is so easy to use and flexible. It really is one of the best apps I've seen of any type for any purpose. Love it.

Based on the same CIA data as many other apps, but this one is by far the best I tried due to the very efficient layout, comparison function and the ordering function.

Vai. P. Aug 24, 2016

I love it as a geographer I find itvamazing. 99%accurate just1 mistake. the people's Republic of China is the third largest country not 4th

Maybe I haven't spent the time needed to navigate this updated version, but it's harder to find countries. Why did you do away with the "Browse by Country" option, for example.
