Ratings and reviews

This game messes up some countries and definitions of what a country is. For example, it didn't show half of Malaysia, that's of Borneo, and gave Puerto Rio as a county. The algorithm for choosing the next county is flawed. Out of 50 games I played, I got the Vatican, cote d'Ivory, and Slovakia all twice. Overall, it's ok, but it definitely needs to be improved.

Great Idea, Somewhat Poorly Executed. It has Bouvet Island as a COUNTRY instead of an uninhabited nature reserve island claimed by Norway. Yet it doesn't recognize Eswatini or Montenegro! Some of the outlines are distorted, as if they were taken from the edge of a projected map, instead of from above. (Antarctica & Svalbard) The UI is very good; clean and intuitive. Ads are brief & not too numerous. If they could get a clean database, with all the actual countries, this would be fantastic!

The distances are often way off or in the wrong direction, or the app might show only the most minor island of a group. Most telling are the inaccurate names for a good many places. Today I tried to enter Taiwan, which is an independent country, and the app called it a province of China. No, it's not. Do a search for Worldle and find the one that's played on a browser. It's excellent.
