User Reviews for Barefoot World Atlas

This app is fun but very glitchy

My Grandpa seent this app 2 me bc I was kinda into georgraphy at the time and so we luckily didn't need 2 pay. I played it for almost 2 years and really enjoyed all the features and icons. Then I kinda got sick of it and didn't get back into it for a while. Then when I started playing it again, I found it wasn't the same as before. It was exactly the same, but every 30 seconds it crashed. I don't know what caused this issue, just because I hadn't played it for a long time, but I'm sure that wasn't the problem. They probably updated it and it made it glitchy, unless I was just out of space or somepthing. Great job overall... but pls fix the bug.

Data Checking Needed

Sorry folks, I know it’s a freebie pack, but when I find glaring mistakes in the first couple seconds of trialing an app, I’m definitely not going to pay money for it. For an educational tool, it pays to be accurate for our kids...So, since I’m not from Texas, I tried to first zoom to home via the regions sub-set (North America) and meander north to Minnesota. No landmarks to speak of (Grain elevator!? Ok, fine, Cargil and General Mills are our handy work...), but the state abbreviation is wrong (Minnesota is MN, not MI) so when I’m swiped over to Michigan, whose abbreviation is MI, they don’t even get abbreviations. I’m not the most worldly guy around, but before knowing where Salvador or Eritrea are, how about I have the ability to at least point to my home state with a little detail first? It should be an easy win...I hope the depth of the rest of the app is better, I’d hope so for such a huge install, but for now, I’m going to pass.

Much better after update

The recent update makes it possible to do the different quizzes on an iPad, and it is now as it should be. The information is very helpful to learn more about regions or individual countries of the world. Very nice app and I will say that the makers of the app were responsive about fixing the glitches with the previous version!

Amazing Fun App!

I love this app! It's filled with beautiful with a hand drawn charm to all the animated art in it. It has a lot of fun facts and quirkiness to it that kids would love. I don't understand why people are complaining here but I had no issues loading this on my iPhone 6S or iPad Air. People ranting about space, really? Get a life. The high resolution animated art and other aspects of the design require it. I think people complain too much and don't appreciate things. I've used this app for a couple years and it never gets old just for fun and can't wait to introduce my daughter to it :)

Great app spoiled by factual errors and odd choices

The app has a great design and is fun to use to get the kids interested in geography and world culture. But after finding several errors within minutes, I’m not sure how reliable the rest of information is. For example, Latvia’s currency is not Lat, it’s EUR since 2014, and Lithuania borders KalinINgrad Oblast, not Kalingrad. The old currency is listed as well. I’ve checked only a few European countries so far and am not sure the choice of highlights make sense. E.g. for Spain it shows Tower of La Giralda as a landmark. Why not Alhambra? It’s a world wonder even in Civilization. Not sure what was the train of thought behind some choices. The quizzes are also disappointing: it’s a choice between matching the flag and matching the shape. I have trouble having the kid to remember the capital cities (much more important information) and there seems to be no quiz for that.A lot of unrealized potential in this app.

Love the puzzles, quizzes and facts!

We recently downloaded this app on my son’s iPad and he loves spinning the globe and zooming in to explore different parts of the world. The quizzes about transportation and animals have been a huge hit. There are videos, songs and puzzles - I love that it is educational and fun and making him curious about the world’s diversity, definitely recommend this app!

Very poor presentation

I purchased this app for my 5-year old daughter. It was based on the sales pitch it has in the summary. 4 million downloads and and top 10 App Store pick! Now my impression after spending 20 minutes with this is - really?I want to jump straight to what's wrong here but first let me point out what's working. The globe is the best idea of this app. Very smooth transition for what could have been complicated multi-level menus. This is ideal for exploration.Sadly, the good part ends right there. The music is so boring and so is the announcer's voice. Switching between packs should not be required, but it would be ok if the navigation between the packs was half as intuitive as moving around the globe. However, it appears that the app was not built with expansion packs in mind, perhaps implemented as an afterthought. The app freezes while switching packs without any feedback on whether the selection was successful.I would not recommend this app for children until it's more engaging. It has the potential to be a very useful tool for young children, but it's not there yet.

Glitches in this app that make it frustrating

The quiz feature has multiple glitches. Certain states won’t accept their matching flag and the only way to fix it is to exit the quiz and start all over again. It’s frustrating for me as an adult so I can’t imagine my kid finding it a fun learning experience. Also on some of the historic narratives some names are mispronounced. I think they could have done a better job on quality control before rolling this app out.

Read-aloud has disappeared

I purchased Barefoot World Atlas years ago for my older boys. Now my younger ones are using it. With the latest update (4.*), though, the read-aloud option has disappeared to make the file size smaller. Unfortunately, the download or streaming options of clicking on the circle doesn’t work very well. Same for the pictures that are supposed to load. Please make a settings option to download all sound files and pictures at one time for people with poor internet.

Great way to keep little globetrotters engaged

I’d downloaded this app a few years ago, before my kids were actually old enough to use it. With them now home for the rest of the school year, we revisited and discovered the upgrade! Especially love the quizzes and global art parts. The kids like spinning the globe! With both illustrations and photographs, this app is an entertaining way to learn about our world that appeals to both my 6 and 9 year-old.
