I use it even for my job.

The best in Store
Great educational & reference app
As a geography teacher I love this app and use it very often, not only for my class but also just for fun. It has a unique and well designed layout giving you all the facts for each country at a glance. Easy to navigate. Excellent also for comparing facts between countries or continents. A must app for anyone who loves geography, who travels worldwide, or who simply wants to increase ones general knowledge.
Could be good but has fatal flaw...
This app provides a nice overview of worldwide countries general facts but with a fatal flaw: Listed facts are badly outdated and in light of the developers posted periodic app updates, its unclear why many facts like, for example, Gross Domestic Product, are four years old! Could have been a solid three or even four stars - too bad! Also, note that developers website link provided here takes one to what seems to be a bad link to Twitter...
Awesome app!
Obe of the best app in geography. Love it.
