"I recently downloaded this game and was really enjoying it; went on today and suddenly everything I had free access to is locked and now has to be paid for."

"This was the coolest app and I learned so much so fast, but it hooks you by having all the categories available the first day and then locks them all and asks for a ridiculous subscription."

"Played about 5 minutes into the game before I was bombarded with two video ads. There is also a banner ad at the top of the game."

"After each quiz Ads pop up and no matter how many times you click exit they wont go away for about 30+ seconds."

"The game locks your out of most modes unless you pay for a subscription that cost $40 a month. Which is ridiculous."

"It's a great app, really is. But so ridiculously overpriced. $40? Subscription fees? Sorry, no app is worth that cost."

"I'm a geography fan and knew EXACTLY where many of these cities/ countries are, but the state lines and country borders are drawn so faint that you cannot see accurately where you are."

"the only problem with this game is that if you place a pin on a big country you might get it wrong even if you place the pin within the country's borders, which doesn't make sense."

"Don't download unless you plan to buy. Very limited access. Also, after every quiz your results screen sits there. No exit or return button. Have to close the app and reopen to play."

"Also the multiplayer doesn't show where you both selected and which the correct country is which is a huge part of the fun."

Faint borders make accurate placement impossible

Country and state borders are drawn too faintly, preventing users from seeing exact boundaries even when they know the correct location

"I'm a geography fan and knew EXACTLY where many of these cities/ countries are, but the state lines and country borders are drawn so faint that you cannot see accurately where you are. This app needs a re do."

Confusing and unclear monetization model

Users are unaware of purchase options to remove ads and unclear about what requires payment

"This should be more clear however because it seems that a lot of reviewers are unaware that they have this option."

Repetitive question selection

Same countries appear repeatedly while others are never shown, creating frustration

"So, It's Good But 1: Ads Pretty Much Overflow The App, And 2: You Have To Find The Same Country A BILLION times and it is SO annoying"

Inaccurate scoring for correct answers

Users penalized even when placing pins correctly within country borders or for minor location variations

"the only problem with this game is that if you place a pin on a big country you might get it wrong even if you place the pin within the country's borders, which doesn't make sense."
