This creative, 21st century take on a world atlas is a fun way to learn a little about this world we live on.
Users rotate the globe to find any of the 500 landmarks, like the Eiffel Tower, click on it, and read a quick write-up about the place, its history and significance.
Users can filter out categories they don’t want to read about at the moment to clean up the globe and find the nuggets of knowledge for which they are searching.
Geo Walk – World Factbook 3D also features a quiz mode with multiple choice questions if users want to sharpen their mind.
Though the concept is wonderful, reviews of Geo Walk are underwhelming. Scoring only a 2.6 out of 5 in the app store review section, the app may be in need of improvement.
One user complained of poor writing in the blurbs, pointing out spelling and grammar issues that fouled her experience. Though the developers may fix this issue with an update, it is something to keep in mind.
