Latest reviews of The World Factbook 2017 app for iPhone and iPad

Excellent successor
This app is an excellent successor to your other map app. Smooth UI! Worth buying again.
Indispensable
No matter how many maps or atlases you have, anyone with a serious interest in geography needs this one too.
Lots of info
This app contains lots of information as advertised. A big let down is all measurements are in the metric system making much info useless unless one wants to obtain a metric measurement, leave this app to find the equivalent in American standard and then return to the app.
Great reference
This app is great. Fast, reliable, and fun to use. It offers a huge amount of interesting facts and data on every country, rankings (my favourite feature), maps etc., etc.
5 star app
Love all the facts and interesting information.
