World Factbook Atlas App Reviews

This app is an outstanding reference tool that all international travelers should utilize!!

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!

Been using this for over 25 years for international trade business. Extremely useful.

No Factbook app can beat this. It’s the best out there, and contains everything I could have asked for. Very informative and useful. Intuitive interface and very easy to use and read. Great map. It’s simple design is not overcrowded with images, maps, or flags; yet uses them when necessary. Keeps out of your way but can be immersive. The paid version for flag descriptions and no ads is worth it, especially if you’re a flag buff. The ads always kept out of your way though, not at all annoying. Very great.

Superb overall, but the geographic size comparison of each nation to familiar USA landmarks would be appreciated in the manner that it used to be.

While it's a great app, great facts are always good, when plenty and accurate. Please explore adding more historical facts, which would be a great assistance for so many. JonvK

This app should be known because it is just amazingly awesome!

I've been using this app for about 3 1/2 years now. I use it just for something to read waiting for class to begin or because I'm just bored. I always learn something new every time I use it. Because of this app I know where every country is on earth and I know about 85% of the world's capitals. It's just awesome.

Buy it

This atlas is real easy and informative. I really like the ability to zoom in to street level. Can't find a better atlas for the price.

I use it all the time It's a great way to learn about other counties.

I love this app. It's one of my many apps that I use on a regular basis, comes in handy. Keep the updates coming.

Old app design not compatible with iOS7/8 and not relevant database. An app update to version 7.0 as in case of iPad version is really needed.

This is the first place I go for facts to get proper perspective on relevancy of news stories. Most often I check population, demographics, GDP and area. For example, how does the Afghan GDP compare to the Federal budget for Afghan war operations?

Amazingly complete, super convenient, what more can you ask?

This is the one app that I love coming back to time and again. It's very informative and the user interface is fantastic.

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.

One of my very few, truly essential apps—such a fantastic reference.

I use it frequently to supplement a news story or to study country rankings by one of the many parameters available. The summaries for each country's economy, government, people etc. are excellent, quick studies to provide context for a news story.

I've used the world Factbook for years, but it's extra handy to have it right at my fingertips, and well organized and designed, in this app.

Such data at one's fingertips...What a wonderful tool to help conceptualize and better understand this complex world we live in.

Nerdvana for most world facts aficionados.

I wish is had more economic indicators such as savings rate and capacity index. Also I wish it showed these things over time like GDP. It only shows them for the past 2 years.

See title, nothing more need be said b

So what's the j stand for

I really can't find 1 thing that I didn't like in this app. From the layout to the info. It's perfect!

A great compilation of basic data. Keep it at your side while following international news stories. Both iPad and iPhone versions are great.

Truly a great app! Always informative. I especially like that they have explanations of the flags, even if brief.

I have been using this app for 4 years now. A wealth of information at the touch of a button on any country in the world. I have found it particularly useful during the Olympics as I looked up info on any country that I became interested in.

Thanks for this app! It’s my go-to quick reference on countries. Well organized and easy to find the information I need. Great that I can access it all offline, too. Thank you!

Thanks for the update. I was getting disappointed. Concise info of any country in your hand. Good job.

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.

very informative

I use this to learn about unfamiliar countries in the news, to educate myself and expand my knowledge, and, occasionally, I use it when I need help with my crossword puzzles. :-)

Great interface, indispensable reference at finger tips. One of my 2nd grader's favorite apps on phone.

This is great!

Love it. Quick, easy to use.

Great information and easy to use! Good for reports and projects. I got all the information I needed for my project from this app.

Superb

For a quick fact check its the best app available that I can find. I am studying international relations and it is helpful in a pinch. Wish they had a little more history on current governments along with more info on each country's military

One of my favorite apps! We travel frequently, and I love to get educated about my destination and the countries that are neighbors. It helps me know my world. Bob C.

I travel internationally and this app helps me get the feel of a country.

Excellent app. I use it to help my kid study geography. Very up to date stats.

I hope the information is accurate.

I really like this app a lot!

iphone application it doesn't fit the ipad screen (about 2/3) and the atlas i couldn't solve to see any world map
