No sound at all!

I tried to redownload this app twice and tested on different iPhones, it still does have sound. Really want to fix this problem. Thanks

Impossible to download packs

I cannot download the packs it won't allow.

Engaging but inaccurate

The elk label is attached to a picture of a moose. The app said that elk are known as moose - they are totally different animals and look quite different.

Français?

Je viens de télécharger les packs gratuits et il n’y en a aucun en français, malgré ce qu’annonce ici. Pourtant, mon iPhone est en français et même si je force le logiciel plutôt que de simplement être en monde par défaut, tout est en anglais. Très peu utile pour des enfants francophones... Sinon, je donnerait 4 ou 5 étoiles, car l'information, le côté éducatif et la musique sont de haute qualité!

Kids like it.

Update: problem fixed. Kids have loads of fun wth this app. It's kinda big, and the research is iffy at best, but no worse than most things targeted at this age group. Withdrawn: Unable to download since new update. As of 2016/08/30, this app can't be used. Used to be a fun app for the kids. Once it is usable again, will update to the 4 stars it otherwise deserves.

Disappointed

Awful. Pushes purchases practically on every screen.

Great

Amazing

Impossible d'utiliser l'application

Rien à faire l'application arrête une fois arrivé sur l'image de la terre. Impossible à d'évaluer. 4.99$ de perdu.

Very solid and good educational value

This app is great. Not sure about those other negative reviews. The interface is easy to use. The conversations that have occurred as my two and four year old kids explore the globe have been meaningful. They love the exploratory nature of the app, and switching from audio information, to the actual photograph, back to the animated atlas view. As an educator myself, I'm pleased and impressed with how this atlas hooks the learner and provides differentiated content to address multiple intelligences. Explore for twenty minutes a week with your child and you'll be amazed at what they'll retain about this wonderful world of ours. We recently 'invested' in two expansion packs - North America and World Art. Both are good as these were two areas that my kids wanted more info on, but I hold back a star only because I would like to be able to synch the expansion packs with the standard atlas so all the info could be accessed from the same source. I recognize that this would make the globe extremely cluttered - all those state and provincial flags on their own add a lot - and might make the interface more cumbersome, but it might be cool too!

SI - Metric System

Surely, you could have a setting for changing to metric. Otherwise, nice app.
