The World HD App Reviews

Needs to have counties in the states. At least. This could be easily added in an update.

This app is what I’ve been searching for & it doesn’t disappoint. A fantastic general atlas. I can’t tell you how much I’ve used this as a reference source to news stories, novels etc. AND it utilizes a stable interface across the iPad and iPhone. I should point out I’ve used this for close to 2 years prior to writing this review. Outstanding.

This is a really great atlas and probably the best there is for international pilots since we want the big picture.

If you're looking for a flat globe type image that shows all world locations connected, then this will work just fine. I found other maps, but most were sectioned off by continents. This app provides a full connected world view that can be expanded, scrolled across as well as up and down to view how all locations are connected without having to stop and go to a different set of maps to locate an adjoining area.

The atlas I have been waiting for.

Quick to load and access, lots of detail, and no online access required. Definitely going to be my go-to world map from now on.

The maps are fairly detailed in terms of countries and cities, but that’s it. Provinces, counties and many bodies of water are not identified. Those that are, aren’t always clear. Yet another map app that leaves me wanting.

Very useful. I don’t care, personally, for the typestyle, but I use the app just about every day for world events.

I wish that we could switch to have commonly used English names for the cities. I use this to increase my knowledge but it is often hard to find the cities, rivers or even small countries as they are only given in the native language.

The app is relatively good at what it does, and more convenient on the iPad than some alternatives. The rendering of the maps seems generally rather good, however there seem to be some inconsistencies especially with the political maps. (For instance, the states of Mexico are sharply demarcated but not the states of Australia or Germany or the provinces of Canada.) In addition, the map presently seems to have some outdated information, for instance “Mount McKinley” in Alaska instead of the cor

There doesn’t seem to be a key as to what various symbols mean.

This is only good for large generalized maps. If you wish to explore small towns and villages this app is incapable of doing. Only shows largest cities.

You don’t continuously scroll like spinning a globe. This is just like a paper map with edges. The whole zoom thing really doesn’t work like it was described. The font doesn’t even resize. If you want additional zoom, you have to pick a specific country.
