Price: 2.99$
How about having a collection of curious and amazing facts in your pocket? All you wanted to know about the world around you but was always too lazy to look for in all those endless encyclopedias. Vito Technology released an app Geo Walk that would give you concise and valuable information about all the most interesting things we have on our planet.
Content
You may be interested in learning geography or expanding your outlook behind trivial borders but be too busy to start. Geo Walk gives you a chance to learn about a person, a unique object of architecture, an unusual plant or animal.
I would say that this app is both fun and educative with an interface appealing to people of all ages. This app is something you want your kid to use to learn more about the world full of unusual and weird secrets.
I should say that the text in articles is brief and informative, it gives you quite ample information about the objects, however it would be nice to have links to a more detailed source of information like Wikipedia or something else.
Interface
Geo Walk is quite fun to use - you just spin the globe to find the place you are curious about. You can also use an object list to choose the objects you like. I'd say I like its cartoonish and smooth interface a lot.
Graphics
Geo Walk is named 3D World Factbook for its extensional interface, however you cannot use stereo glasses with it… yet.
All in all, I should say that the app suites perfectly parents and their curious kids who wish to explore the world together.
Final Score: 4 out of 5
Price: 2.99$
