I love this app but the update to make it compatible with iOS 10 didn t work None of the country facts appear the screen just displays the spinning wheel and no information is available on the flags Please fix this Thank you Update for iOS 10 didn t work Just an Average Joe
After it starts and to choose any country It remains freeze and continue to load I hope to fix the issue because this begin with beta 10 and still even after the issuance of the official version of it Doesn t work with iOS 10 Dentistman

I m but a wee 9th grader and an amateur traveler but I really love this app I use it for school and projects and when I m curious 5 stars and a big thumbs up WorldABC sarah1k2b3
I was looking forward to using this app to gauge the risks of traveling to certain countries I figured that as a test l would pick two countries that I know are extremely dangerous 1 Somalia where In the past several years war lords have been slaughtering countless people and 2 Nigeria where boko harem a Muslim terrorist organization is running amok Well the last piece of information about Somalia to be found in this app goes back to 2012 And while there is something dating to 2015 about Nigeria no mention of B H I guess it s OK for some basic information and for maps But certainly not of much use for many other important purposes Too bad they can t keep it more up to date Not up to date by any means Bought Four
I was surprised on how well this app has put the information together and the references I ll undoubted enjoy it Thank you developer Great resource NanzeM
As I travel the globe I use this app as a starting point to research the countries I plan on visiting Thanks for a great app Useful Travel Tool Uncle_Billy

This app was once an excellent and stable information source for geo political reference of the countries of our world now it is just unstable and unusable crap crashes nearly every time a country is selected Have tried to delete amd redownload the app a couple times with the same result quality control is nonexistant I have been using the app since the original iPad and continued using it through multiple name changes but now it has been uninstalled because it is useless ignore this release and all others if quality does not improve John Q Public

Crashes after March 2016 update Fix it or it is of no use Worldabc xyz cia fact book Rangermd
Awesome app I work in international business and use this app all the time for market studies Besides being useful for business I ve found myself playing with it at home and losing hours upon hours learning a tiny portion of what this app has to offer Best free app I ve ever seen by light years One suggestion there should be a section or some information on active conflicts terrorist groups etc For instance the section on Syria doesn t mention ISIS the civil war or Russian involvement The war is the most important issue in Syria today so it should be mentioned Invaluable Greg Hanichak
App ceased to function entirely after installing March update Update of March 2016 wrecks the app splunged
Will not open crashes every time bring back to old one this version is worthless Crashes on Ios9 2 1 Alldigi

There is a major problem with your app that needs to be corrected in the RANKS section In order to make the information understandable you should mention the unit of measure of the item being ranked For example in the section ELECTRICITY Consumption the figure for the Number 1 ranked country China shows 4 831 000 000 000 What unit of measure is this The column section heading should have shown that this is kWh To give another example the ranking of GROSS NATIONAL SAVING the number 1 country is Brunei and shows the figure 56 1 There is no mention of the unit You should have had a column heading showing the figure as of GDP Another area for improvement I suggest you should make the unit of measure more practical for comparison purposes some have numerous zeroes which are confusing and could be refined to provide a more readable figure In the example above it is hard to understand such a long figure as 4 831 000 000 000 It should have said instead 4 831 trillion kWh Another example is NATURAL GAS PRODUCTION You are showing number 1 country is USA 687 600 000 000 You do not describe the unit of measurement which is cu m For ease of understanding it would be more useful to mention 687 6 billion cu m rather than just give a figure with so many zeros To make your app useful you need to incorporate these basic improvements Improvements needed FD-BD

It is a updated and nonbiased repository of indispensable information for seriuos research Required reference for all travelers it brings relevant facts and countryspecific knowledge to any eightened discussion about world travel and current affairs I highly recommend it Professional research tool
Should be a required automatic download with any world news app This is a must have if you read the local daily paper It fleshes out the news with basic facts often assumed in the article ie Size population location politicalgovernmental organization This will greatly increase the chances of you making the correct judgement about facts in an article And when considering traveling to an area a bit of basic country knowledge makes thing go smoother It is also updated regularly This in itself makes it better than the paper copy Tracking World News
Everything you ever wanted to know Love this app refer to it often Devs are terrific also very quick to respond and resolve Thank you Wonderful
This a fascinating useful valuable resource of important accurate wellorganized information Much as I like this app I would never have taken time to review it until I saw that they had found a simple way to solicit a review with intruding on my appenjoying experience Bravo Brilliant

very good study tool study
The CIA World Factbook has evolved over the years but it continues to be a must have app for travelers news and political junkies and anybody who wants or needs a world reference Wikipedia is great but this fills in where Wikipedia doesnt go Must Have
Maps take too long to load Physical Africa map does not load at all There is no information on country profiles about criminal or terrorist activity and organizations A few problems
I use this app when pre planing my jobs and trips It provides great up to date information Would like to have more information on crime stats and noted areas of know criminal activity Additionally would like to have information on known intelligence collection actives as well as the government intelligence agencies known or believed to be operating in that area After all it is the CIA world fact book Other than that keep up the good work Great PreTravel Briefing App

This app does everything it promises It is easy to navigate and extract what one is seeking The only downside is that is uses huge amounts of data space on my iPad A comprehensive infomsource
This app is a great complement to the comprehensive world factbook website Its a very clean app with lots of information One improvement it would be great to have some extra functionality from the ranks section like a popout about the definition of the measure and links to the countrys main page Great app to get lots of info about countries

Great resource Learn more about our world Great resource
This app is excellent source of current information on the modern world It is organized by country and helps to put in perspective current events Great concise current
The CIA World Factbook is a publication made available in several ways and a number of outlets have slapped it together in a shell for a markup But this version is the only one Ive seen that adds value and organizes it well Even the CIA web site version isnt done this well The maps indexing search and organization in this app is worth much more than the price theyre asking The updates are the most timely Ive seen too Get THIS one This is the one to get
Great app love the ease of use and variety of ways to look at information from the CIA World Factbook including country profiles as well as charts and lists Wish it was easier to get out of the full screen mode I always have difficultly going back to regular mode once its in full screen Also the Cape Verde Cabo Verde small flag is missing when browsing the country list It just shows up as blue ocean so that should be fixed Nicely laid out easy to use
This app provides all sorts of various information that has come in handy all too often I love it I only wish this app was Siri enabled I would like to be able to ask Siri a question about a country and have the results come through this app That would be a great way to better integrate this app into the phone and daily life Very informative and useful
awsome love it awsome
Very nice app but please add flag miniatures to countries in ranks It makes scrolling through these lists much faster Amazing but
This app cost me about 12 because I tried many before finding this one It is simply the best CIAWFB access app in the AppStore It should cost 5 that is how much better is is Dont wast your time with the others One note it is the full Book so it takes up half a gig I like that but not everyone will The Best
