Map-Quiz

I just wanted to learn about countries in South America, but before I knew it I was busy learning the States of the US. It was fun to work side-by-side with one of my children taking turns guessing states and seeing whether we could get better over time. I find style of map very engaging.

What a fantastic app for those of us who have forgotten the geography we learned in grade school. Using this quiz in challenge mode has become part of my weekly routine. My next request for developers: a quiz identifying major bodies of water around the world. Thanks for your consideration!

I now know so much! Very easy and awesome functionality! More people should know about geography. Thank you guys!

Map-Quiz is the best app for learning geography, for reasons written by earlier reviewers: it is free, completely uncluttered by ads, and has a clean user interface. Yes, for those who miss Geomaster, this is a solid replacement. In addition, the developer is responsive to both events (adding Ukrainian oblasts) and feedback (updating country names). With this app, in just a few minutes each day, you can learn useful geographical information. Since finding the app a couple of days ago, I have revived my knowledge of Europe, learned South America, and realized how little I know of US territories and Caribbean islands (which the app will help me with!). With Map-Quiz, anyone can reasonably work towards identifying the locations of all 200+ countries in the world. Map-Quiz is a generous gift, allowing everyone with access to the App Store a way to learn geography. If the developer is looking for ways to enhance the app, I would love to see (1) the option for a sturdier typeface, because this one is a little thin for my aging eyes; (2) physical features such as bodies of water, mountains, and deserts; (3) additional interior regions besides those already found in the app. I would also be delighted to see an option for countries to be labeled by their autonyms (e.g. España for Spain) -- this would be beautiful, although perhaps too unwieldy for countries that use different scripts or have multiple official languages.

I love it, but it keeps freezing about 20 countries in on the world practice. Fix please?

Because of this game, I have learned where all the countries are in the Americas, Asia, and Europe! You should not hesitate to download it. It would be better if like, the part of Turkey, Georgia, and Kazakhstan that is in Europe was in the Europe quiz, and same for Russia and Egypt. If you could do that, this app would be perfect.

Mostly I enjoy this app, it’s simple, no ads, you just learn. It does have an issue though, it is more often than not getting “stuck” while the user is trying to mark off countries (states, boroughs, etc), not loading the image so you can see where to tap. It’s especially frustrating during the challenges as you’re racing the clock. And it could use some additional content, like world capitals. The provinces, states, regions, etc., of other nations. National flags maybe.

There was a geography game several years ago called Geomaster II that I played religiously—it taught me the location of every country in the world and sparked a real interest in geography. That game disappeared 7-8 years ago. I tried in vain to find a replacement but no other geography game stacked up favorably. Until now! I love the simplicity and the design of this game. Playing it a ton, all the old knowledge is finally coming back. My one request—add Indian provinces and Chinese provinces! These two countries are home to >33% of the earth’s population. I’d love to be able to use this game to learn the layout of those countries.
