R70%
by R####:

It's a great app, have used quite a few times, but not updating, don't like the new permissions :)

N70%
by N####:

....but the new ' phone identity' permission that you're requesting is kind of odd. Not upgrading until it's removed

R70%
by R####:

What is this change in permissions? Not installing the update, using "World Factbook and Widget" instead, nice one. Remove unnecessary permissions

R70%
by R####:

that you added "read phone status and identity" permission. :-(

R70%
by R####:

Love the interface and idea... force closes on MIUI with anything you look up.

R70%
by R####:

You do not need to read my phone status stop unnecessary permissions or I'll uninstall no update

R70%
by R####:

I find it useful as a reference and for idling away a few lazy moments. Where else do you find out about Akrotiri?

E70%
by E####:

This app is really awesome....it enchances my knowledge about country *-*

K70%
by K####:

It is out of date. Not grossly out of date, just a little behind. This is expected, though, considering that the CIA updates the factbook on a regular basis.

Z70%
by Z####:

E70%

Shame on facebook, such a popular social network can't develop good app. Hell slow!!!

Z70%
by Z####:

Heeey admin of this application please update all information because they are too old and wrong. Could be better if you update it.

U70%
by U####:

Really good for a free app and has helped add some context to my travels around asia. The factbook its based on is getting a little old so an update would be appreciated.

Z70%
by Z####:

Many facts in this app seem to be inaccurate i.e. the USA and UK are stated to be in a better position in terms of GDP and dept than they really are. Plus the oil production ranking for some countries are depatable and inaccurate. Some good info on here but wouldn't believe all it states.
