User Reviews
This app used to be great, but it hasn’t been updated for over three years. The US article still list Barack Obama as being president. The update trail acknowledges the very old date of last update. Update 4-13-2026. I just got a very bizarre response to this review from a self-described “developer” with a Chinese handle saying they were diligently updating the Facebook, this just a few days after the CIA announced the Facebook is being discontinued.
Dangerously bad developers last update came out 8 years and the app doesn’t even open
I can no longer get this app to open.
This app is dead.
The developer and help links in the App Store simply open the app. No links in the app. I LOVED this app when I purchased it years ago, but the data hasn’t been updated in awhile. Still easier for quick info without going to the government site.
A bit pokey on my 512 gb iPhone Xs.
Please update this app in order to be compatible with newest ios version, also the maps section in not working.
If you don't have this and you like travel, trivia, or being more informed than your friends then you're missing out.
I was looking for an app that offered all political maps in one place. I found that in this app, although somewhat hidden small next to the country name. In addition, there is tons and tons of information that anyone would appreciate with a little love of Geography.
