Community reviews for Countries of the World

There were two aspects I immediately did not care for: the ad was impossible to exit without removing my device from the case. Second, the app visually resembled Encarta. The information on this app is much more up to date; it includes South Sudan. Once I got past those two issues, I discovered a reliable tool for learning, exploring, and practicing countries. There are three modes: study, quiz, and search. The search feature is self explanatory. For the study mode, you first select a continent. Each country has an info card with information like capital, area, population, language, religion, age to vote, life expectancy, GDP, etc. There is an image of the flag and a general map of the country in relation to the other countries in the region, but the map does not provide any political or geographic details. There is an audio file that will say the name of the country. Some countries (but not all), also have links to a website that will play an assortment of video files about the country. The quiz feature lets you select the region and what you want to be quizzed on, like name, capital, GDP, etc. Another quiz setting is whether you want to be quizzed on the smallest countries.
