Description:

FREE FOR 1 DAY ONLY! YES, TODAY!! IF YOU LIKE THE WORLD, PLEASE LEAVE A REVIEW!
An essential iPad app, The World is the ONLY visual World Factbook and contains more data than any other factbook, easily selected through a unique interactive world map.

Wake up! (we heard you snoring) This map isn't like the one in school - this one is built just for your iPad! Touch a country and its factbook slides onto the screen, each topic neatly organized as tiles along the edge of the map. Touch a tile and it zooms out to reveal detailed information about that topic. Not sure where a country is located? Select it on the drop-down list and The World zooms in on it and opens the factbook. Yes, you wouldn't have fallen asleep if they had these in Geography 101.

In fact, unlike those other factbooks, the map-based interface is not only fun to use, but also guides you to discovering new places. It's so easy to explore and once you get started it's hard to stop!

If you are a student, love to travel, or enjoy watching the world news or shows like Amazing Race™ or House Hunters International™, this is the app for you!

═════ REVIEWS FROM APP STORES AROUND THE WORLD ═════

APPLE LISTED IN WHAT'S HOT!

AUSTRALIA: Terrific! I'm some sort of atlas freak. Have two or three others on my iPad. This one tops them all. It's easy to use. Colourful. Maps are excellent. The in-built fact book has info of the type seen in a fair number of other apps, but here, in this app, it is very well organised, easy to access and read. You always take a punt on iPad / Pod / Phone apps (given that you usually cannot try before you buy) -- your money's good on this one. Trust me. Go for it!

UNITED KINGDOM: Brilliant app, great value.

UNITED STATES: Its for sure the best app of its kind in the App Store. Far better than the world factbook for iPad. The ability to pan through the map and to select a specific country is great. You dont have to know the name of the country. You just look at the map, recognize the country and after you tap it, you get all CIA based info. Its great!!! Highly recommended!

GERMANY: Nach dem Update echt eine geniale App, genau was ich mir vorgestellt habe für das iPad. Besser kann man die Informationen des CIA-Factbook nicht verpacken und darbieten. Die Karten auch von kleinsten Ländern sind toll und deteilreich. Lohnt sich auf jeden Fall!


What's New

It's here! This is the first of two updates enabling The World to better handle low memory conditions.

We also eliminated the tiling effect when the world map redraws. Since it now loads 4X faster, we removed the intro video to get you into the app faster.

Finally, the biggest news yet: The World for your iPhone / iPod Touch is available NOW! We spent a LOT of time polishing it for the smaller devices and it REALLY SHINES! Just browse for Opicury Software in the iPhone app store. It has a brand new icon.

Your good reviews help us keep the updates coming! Please let us know if you like the update!
