Do not work anymore after upgrade

I cannot use it anymore as the appli is crashing on the first page since the last update. Wish it can be fixed soon.

Indispensable

Very useful app providing basic information at a glance. Easy to navigate, only downside: I frequently experienced that updates thru the AppStore dont work ("wait" without loading).

Great app!!

Thanks for this great app. Especially offline data is important!

Fantastic!!

Very informative with great detail! Exactly what I need. Thank you.

Where is french ?

The only language this app use, is ENGLISH, the advertise says french, portugese, etc... When i buy it, i thought it was in french, this is à great déception, this put a negative shadow on this app, i cant say to my relatives to buy it. Michel from QUÉBEC, CANADA

Ridiculous

I cant believe I paid to download an app that mimics Wikipedia content !

Crazy Cool

Full of incredible knowledge and recent too. Great to learn and really fun to read! Great job

CIA World Fact Book

Excellent. Concise, easy to use and easy to find information. Over 200 countries listed alphabetically.

Was good....still is good!

This app was crashing after the last update. It took them no time at all to find and fix the app! Im adding this info cause I think that shows the mark of a good developer. This apps info is updated as new info comes out and has great info in quick and easy categories. Well done!

Awesome

I am rating and review this app purely and solely because they never ask me to do it in the app. Cheers guys best of luck.

Annoying

I got this App and it was really good! Then it had an update - its frozen, cant do anything with it tried to delete it nothing happens it is useless and yet started out very interesting!!!

Favourite app!!

Great again after update!! Thanks to the developer. Awesome app - definitely a must have!!

Unstable

The application is unstable. You can not use it.

CIA Factbook

I was very disappointed to learn that the app dies not show Tibet.

Doesnt work with iOS 10!

After it starts and to choose any country, It remains freeze and continue to load, I hope to fix the issue because this begin with beta 10 and still even after the issuance of the official version of it.

Update for iOS 10 didnt work

I love this app but the update to make it compatible with iOS 10 didnt work. None of the country facts appear (the screen just displays the spinning wheel) and no information is available on the flags. Please fix this. Thank you!

It is the best app

Professional research tool

It is a updated and non-biased repository of indispensable information for seriuos research. Required reference for all travelers, it brings relevant facts and country-specific knowledge to any eightened discussion about world travel and current affairs. I highly recommend it.

Tracking World News

Should be a required automatic download with any world news app. This is a must have if you read the local daily paper. It fleshes out the news with basic facts often assumed in the article. ie. Size, population, location, political/governmental organization. This will greatly increase the chances of you making the correct judgement about facts in an article. And when considering traveling to an area, a bit of basic country knowledge makes thing go smoother. It is also updated regularly. This in itself makes it better than the paper copy.

This has crashed a bit lately; trying downloading fresh copy.

I had wanted to check why Mosul dam approach had been undefended. I think it takes a lot of facts and lessons in strategy to know anything like that. I travel and might get ideas of a central meta phi for a countrys "personality". Right now these countries seem muddled in my memory. Im new at this.
