Fantastic app, with a huge amount of data... very nice organized... but some data are wrong. For example after few minutes of use I found this data for Mongolia: Population-3,1 M... Area-1,6Mkm2... and then - Density-1,0 persons/km2. Instead of 2. So now I'm not sure about the rest of the data for others countries... UPDATED - unfortunately, the ap is not updated more than 3 years :(

Why are economic data so old? They are mostly from 2017 although on CIA World Factbook are from 2020.

Gareth mark-well sh. invented the app and the religious cult and o-grams websites stolen by Zuckerberg in 2008 from Cambridge UK. £29.99 BBC basic app... Russell brand was most followed from 2006-2008 when Zuckerberg became an accidental billionaire with prince of Cambridge UK as his best friend (except for the hated Gareth Thomas) Zuckerberg was on bale when HE invented the app.
★★★★★
I like this app. Current and relevant. But, please, include each continent and its countries. For instance, North America countries and their ranking: highest population, land size, GDP etc. Thanks
★★☆☆☆
Looking up countries not finding what I'd like for like BRExit effects, population percentages, landmarks of tourist interest, not hostile takeovers and covert stuff, make friends not global thermonuclear war and terrorism...
★★☆☆☆
Disgust me to see apps like this, a clear US propaganda. "Facts", they really are lies, a bunch of lies.
