Ratings and reviews

There is a lot to like with this quiz app. The shapes are very clear with a very high contrast, and there's plenty of options. There are problems, however. For example, there's a bug in multiple choice quizzes that makes it so the player is not given the correct option, which will annoy if tracking winning streaks, something the game makes a point of. Probably the biggest problem is with the Oceania quizzes, using abstract shapes and missing lots of areas like Kiribati and French Polynesia.

So far so good (in mechanics at least) , but weird in some of its choices. It looks like they used one map and kept the projection destortions and it's limited possible details for tiny islands, making them all super smooth. The silliest example is Russia, which isn't contiguous and instead split where the original map split! Also, why include Heard/McDonald Islands (population ~2) but NOT include, say, Fiji (893k people)??

Good, but it's missing some countries. Cook Islands, Pitcairn, French Polynesia, Fiji and New Zealand. Also, it would be nice to be able to do some custom groupings so I could work on all the single island nations, for example.
