It's a great app that helps me learn about basic geography. I started using it when I was 7 and im now 15 and I still use it for the geography bee at my school. I highly recommend this app and its definitely worth the price.

This is a great app! It's a fun, easy way to learn the basics about each state. They love to Stack the Countries also. Even as an adult, I learn a lot from that game. Well done! :) NO ADS!

App is great...beware if you need to redownload. Once you purchase this app, it will show up I your listed owned games/apps. BUT, if you need to download again, or move from a phone to a tablet for a bigger screen, it will make you pay again. I did not see anywhere it said that, so be forewarned. With that said, it is a very fun educational app. My children are enjoying learning about the states and neat facts. You have up to 5 users saved to the same app, so they can save their own data

I used to play this game, it was a fantastic game, but my phone is too small, and I can't read the question. There is no setting to fix this so make sure you download this on a big screen like an iPad or something with a big screen.
