Pros and cons of 2015 World Factbook app for iPhone and iPad

2015 World Factbook app good for

However, population pyramid does not function - cant find the server.

Updates are key. Need wi-fi or more. Need zoomable maps. Good GUI.

I love this app! If you are a nerd, or just like interesting facts on any country you can imagine, then this app is for you. Ive spent hours learning interesting things about other countries. I was surprised at how many countries, or islands of countries Ive never heard of. I also like to commitment to update the information regularly. What makes it real cool is that it is all accessed off line. Worh every penny.

This app describes everything you need to know about each country. It is fascinating, and very well put together.

This is an extremely detailed app. Very interesting and endless info. The only thing is the maps arent great.

Great informative application. Lots of info in the palm of your hand !

Some bad moments

Check out the maps - oh my god, they are an absolute joke! How about drilling down on a country to get facts on major cities? Nothing!! Whats really sad is the fact that its just DATA that theyre providing. Wikipedia provides a million times more detail in a FREE iPhone app. What a joke. This is a complete waste of money.

Dont get this it is missing so many different places on the map and in the index

If you check the "Current account balance" within Rank Order, it is missing the United States, which should be #190. I have written to the developer with this and now for THREE releases they have ignored fixing this. How many other parts of the application are missing data? I give it one star because of this, otherwise it would be 3 or 4.

I have the iphone 4 and... - EVERYTHING is incredibly pixelated, making the app a pain to use. - The maps have very little detail other than a couple main cities. - The info is excessive and hard to find without scrolling all over the place. Im bummed

I tapped the map and now cant return to the word part. Lousy,frustrating app!

App was cool, but its been locked in an update installing phase for a month (literally) no matter what I do, it wont complete or abort the update.
