"Geo Walk is also an educational app, and features a rotatable model of Earth, with various landmarks and places touchable on it. Click on the Eiffel Tower, and you'll get a picture, as well as a quick blurb about the structure. The design seems to be the same as the other Vito apps -- create an interface that's fun and easy to navigate around, and then fill it with as much information as possible." © Mike Schramm, TUAW

8 of 25The interface is very good so is the concept. Nevertheless, the content is too few and you have to buy it if you want to see more.
To say this app offers very little information is a gross understatement. As another reviewer remarked, the information is not without errors. This is entirely unacceptable for any learning application. Lastly, for what you receive from this app, it is extremely overpriced. I like the layout, but sadly that's about the only positive remark I can offer. Add content please.
The app is entertaining and the pictures are good. However, the grammar and sentence structure are very poor. An app that sells itself as a type of encyclopedic reference should be vetted and/or reviewed fully before it is released to the public. However, that being said, it's still a fun little program to learn some random trivia or share with your kids.
Glitzy graphics with no substance. Descriptions of animals are superficial with just one static photo. It has less information than an encyclopedia, even Wikipedia offers more interesting information. Plus the locations are limited. I was expecting information that was local to the pacific northwest of theU.S.
Lethargic. Had to reinstall a couple times. Sound didn't work at first. Stalls a lot. Have to restart the app. Needs updates....
crashes on startup informed developer 6 weeks ago and still no luck
I've been having a hard time getting my 10 year motivated to read. He loves this app! It is an excellent to way learn world geography, history, you name it!
As a young kid I need to learn.
