Factbook

iphone application it doesn't fit the ipad screen (about 2/3) and the atlas i couldn't solve to see any world map

Overall seems to be a great resource depending on the intent of use. I needed an app to easily enter random city names to quickly reference country information and other data. This is not that APP. If you work with world wide cities and do not know the corresponding country, this is not the APP. Search function only allows known country names to return results.

Why in recent updates many rankings have been removed?!<br/><br/>For example in previous versions we could see the ranking of a country in oil or natural gas proven reserves. But now it’s missing and there is no ranking for many important factors of countries and very few and limited rankings are available!

No Factbook app can beat this. It’s the best out there, and contains everything I could have asked for. Very informative and useful. Intuitive interface and very easy to use and read. Great map. It’s simple design is not overcrowded with images, maps, or flags; yet uses them when necessary. Keeps out of your way but can be immersive. The paid version for flag descriptions and no ads is worth it, especially if you’re a flag buff. The ads always kept out of your way though, not at all annoying. Very great.

Tiny display on iPad or laptop. Map is pretty sparse

It isn’t bad just but it seems like the reading level is low. I would have liked a focus on the university reading level.

The app was amazing but there are never any updates. I know things are changing fast in the world we live in but the information seams to never update on this app..

For all those who desire to understand the dynamics that distinguish the nations of the world, this book is indispensable.
