Marvelous app

Perfect mobile adaptation of CIA world factbook. Heck of a deal for the price. Information is powerful. Thank you. Look forward to updates.

Crashes on Ios9.2.1

Will not open, crashes every time, bring back to old one this version is worthless.

Update of March 2016 wrecks the app!

App ceased to function entirely after installing March update

Invaluable

Awesome app. I work in international business and use this app all the time for market studies. Besides being useful for business, Ive found myself playing with it at home and losing hours upon hours learning a tiny portion of what this app has to offer. Best free app Ive ever seen by light years. One suggestion, there should be a section or some information on active conflicts, terrorist groups, etc. For instance the section on Syria doesnt mention ISIS, the civil war or Russian involvement. The war is the most important issue in Syria today so it should be mentioned.

Crashes after March 2016 update. Fix it or it is of no use

Great App

Lots of great content in an excellently designed package.

Works again!

It works again on both iPhone and iPad! With lots of new ways of presenting country information.

Having used this app for the majority of the past six months, I find it a valuable tool; a massive amount of interesting information and material that elucidates simple facts in a way that otherwise could have been banal and cumbersome. Newest version has not crashed nor demonstrated any concerns. Great app!

Great app

works great on the iPhone 5. no problems and tons of information. Would recommend.

Review

Third time Ive tried. Its JUNK

Great update

Great app, love the ease of use and variety of ways to look at information from the CIA World Factbook including country profiles as well as charts and lists A fantastic update that simplified the app and makes searching for information much easier!

...ignore this release...and all others if quality does not improve...

This app was once an excellent (and stable) information source for geo-political reference of the countries of our world...now it is just unstable (and unusable) crap...crashes nearly every time a country is selected... Have tried to delete amd redownload the app a couple times with the same result...quality control is nonexistant...I have been using the app since the original iPad...and continued using it through multiple name changes...but now it has been uninstalled because it is useless...

Very nice App; Crashes - FIXED

A very nice quick reference App (The recent update crashes to the home screen on my iPhone 4/s were fixed 4/11 - thanks.)

Literacy

What happened to this category? It was one of my most necessary. Its gone now.

Useful Travel Tool

As I travel the globe, I use this app as a starting point to research the countries I plan on visiting. Thanks for a great app.

Best resource for fast facts

I love this app. I use it all the time to double check the specifics of any country Im talking about.

Great resource

I was surprised on how well this app has put the information together and the references. Ill undoubted enjoy it!. Thank you developer.

Not up to date by any means

I was looking forward to using this app to gauge the risks of traveling to certain countries. I figured that, as a test, l would pick two countries that I know are extremely dangerous: (1) Somalia, where, In the past several years war lords have been slaughtering countless people and (2) Nigeria, where boko harem, a Muslim terrorist organization, is running amok. Well, the last piece of information about Somalia to be found in this app goes back to 2012. And while there is something dating to 2015 about Nigeria, no mention of B.H. I guess its OK for some basic information and for maps, But certainly not of much use for many other important purposes. Too bad they cant keep it more up to date.

Great!

This app is very helpful and very well-made. The UI is amazing and smooth. I highy recommend using it.
