I had a couple "world factbook" type apps before I found this and none of them were as good. Stuff is presented really nicely and organized, not just copy and pasted from wikipedia. You can click on any stat and see where it is in a list, to see where it's ranked in the world. There's stats for literally anything you can think of so for a person like me who likes facts and figures its really useful.

I like this app very much and I would recommend for anyone that world info in the palm of your hand.

My mistake....but after downloading, the app is only for the 2nd generation ipod touch. Why? Other apps have updated to work with both 1st and 2nd generations.

Great app that sorts the world wiki info by rankings. Good cross-links between sections. App did not intially load properly, but as of 12/17/08, the developer released an update that solved the problem. He was very responsive to the issue.

I loved the App and it has great potential but so far I was not able to run it for more than 2 minutes without crashing. I can't wait foe an update.

Get your facts straight. The UI is great, but when I was browsing the US facts it said the Marines Corps were part of the navy. F**K NO! The Marines are their separate division. Get your facts straight before putting it on

This app is very rich in content. I could spend hours and hours reading all those informations, and the ranking feature is very useful and interesting, but the app simply crash every 2 minutes. Its totally frustrating. I hope the developer fix it soon, because this app is a must have, but it must work properly too.

The Marine Corps is part of the Navy. That is why there is no Department of the Marine Corps but there is a Department of the Navy, Department of the Army, and Department of the Airforce. There is also no secretary of the Marine Corps but there is a Secretary of the Navy, Secretary of the Army, and Secretary of the Airforce. The top officer in the Marine Corps is the Commandant of the Marine Corps and his boss is the Secretary of the Navy. And finally, there is also no Marine Corps Academy but there is a Naval Academy in Annapolis, the Army Academy at West Point and the Airforce Academy in Colorado. Marine Corps officers attend the Naval Academy at Annapolis. Oh, one more thing, when Marines go into combat they bring Naval Corpsman not "medics". I suggest YOU do YOUR homework before calling someone out you uneducated hump.

This is nice reference to have. I avoided similar apps because of their size, but this app packs tons of info into a surprisingly small package. Also, works fine on my 1st gen. iPod Touch. Just had to lower my rating (crashedy crash crash crash). Will return the star when fixed. Also, BTW, the US Marines actually do fall under the Department of the Navy.

But it's free

Update 7/4: CRASHING FIXED Thanks for the update. The app works flawlessly now.

Excellent! Ranking awesome

Overwhelmed by how thorough this app is. Would be great if it also gave stats in miles/feet/etc.

This application is AMAZING! Every country, and everything you'd need to know about them. Even has states facts.

I could be wrong. If so, I'll change my review. But if there are maps in the app, I couldn't find them.
