OWorld 1.0


Category: Sports
Price: $0.99 (iTunes)

Description:

This unique and politically correct app helps you know more about our world in an easy and fun way - it integrates two data sources in a seamless way:

1) All the 205 National Olympic Committees - each country or territory with its name and flag which rises in the medal ceremony;

2) The CIA world factbook which offers lots of info about each country/territory.

Our other app, One World, includes the beautiful anthems of ALL the 88 countries or territories where iPhone is officially available as of May 4, 2009. It's for users who can't live without sounds and don't care about the almost 70MB file size download.

This version, O World, a version with no anthems (One without aNthEms), is for those users who like a quiet world and who may not want to download a 70MB-sized app.

Compared with a few other world factbook apps, our One World app has the following unique features:

1) It offers a Fact Query feature that can easily answer questions such as:
* Which country has the longest life expectancy (so you may seriously consider moving there)?
* Which country has the most population (so you know you'll feel lonely in the crowd)?
* How about the least?
* How about in Africa, America, Asia, Europe, or Oceania?
* Which has the largest size, or the smallest?
* How about GDP?
* Or TV, telephone lines?
* Of course, the Internet users, cell phones?

2) All the maps of the 205 countries or territories are offered.

This app also has very easy-to-use navigation and user-friendly zoom in/out in Details mode. Other common features are certainly offered as well, such as:
* browsing each country in each continent (or the whole world);
* learning about its detailed info;
* doing a quick name search.

We've enjoyed designing and developing the app - it helps us realize how big (not small) our world is, and how many places we've never been to or even heard of. We hope you'll also enjoy the app, and maybe look forward to exploring the world a little bit more in the near future; after all this is one amazing world we all live in.
