  1. 1/5Very 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.

  2. 5/5Amazing 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 :)

  3. 2/5Data 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.

  4. 4/5This 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.

  5. 5/5Great 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.

  • 3.0.4

    Hold on to your hats, guys! We’re about to go around the world in 80 seconds… Since you last heard from us we’ve been working out ways to make your 3D world even better, and we’ve come up with something we think you’re rather going to like: it was a careful balancing act, but we somehow managed to fit even more icons on that there globe! The Starter Pack now has fully-functioning sample icons from all the different packs for you to explore. We’re also a little fanatical about football here, so we wanted to do something to celebrate the beautiful game during the World Cup. The solution was simple: we’ve called time out and thrown in a fantastic football kit matching puzzle AND made the International Football Pack completely and utterly FREE for the entirety of the World Cup! Free as a bird. That’s taking a free kick. We also found some pesky bugs interfering with a few things, so we carefully collected them up and they’re now playing their own miniature football tournament in our office. Believe it or not, the bugs from Brazil are the best. And that’s it. Ta da! We really hope you enjoy the new version of Barefoot World Atlas. As always, tell us your thoughts, and don't forget to rate the app and let us know with a review which packs you would like to see in the future.

  • 3.0.5

    After listening to your excellent suggestions, we waved our wands to improve the app even more. It’s now quicker and easier to download the extra packs and expand your world! That’s pretty cool, but our favourite new feature in this update has got to be the ability to hide country names in puzzles—you can switch them off for an extra challenge. We also found some sneaky bugs clinging onto the globe, so we brushed them away, gave the planet a bit of a polish, and now it’s squeaky clean. Lovely. We hope you have fun exploring the latest version of Barefoot World Atlas. As always, let us know your thoughts so we can keep making the app better. And don't forget to rate it and leave a review!

  • 3.0.6

    The Barefoot Team have been working hard this month making our puzzle pack even bigger and better. In this update you’ll find not one, not two, but but three new games! Now you can test your knowledge of the animals, buildings and people you find dotted across the globe. We’ve even gone and added a new game to the International Soccer pack (yeah, we miss Brazil 2014 a bit too). But that’s not all! We’ve managed to dust off some long-lost features and bring them out of retirement. Back by popular demand are Search and Favourites. Track down those sneaky features with the search, and mark your favourites with a star. As always our bug-catcher in chief has been at work with his net, travelling the globe capturing any nasty little bugs and getting them out of the way so you can have a better, more enjoyable experience. That’s it for now. We’ve had great fun building this update and we hope you love it as much as we do. Don’t forget to let us know what you think in the review section. We can’t wait to hear your thoughts.
