Flags of the World Best Trivia

This app allows you to work your way through perhaps a dozen different levels of difficulty, each level introducing less widely known and sometimes extremely similar flags. It also has a section to review the flags of a given level in non-quiz format. I only wish the app gave some history/details about the symbolism of the flags as I think it would help immensely to memorise them, particularly in the case of flags that are virtually identical or at least extremely similar. Also, the app doesn’t depict differing ratios very well, which can made it harder to identify flags that have nearly the same colours but different ratios.

If it weren’t for the adds, this app would deserve 5 stars. One of the best functions is the ability to compete against other players. However, in the middle of a competition, if you get question wrong, you get an add in the middle of your game. This happens every time you get a question wrong. As a result you end up loosing the match because you time out. Then you are told you can get rid of the adds if you pay. I find this manipulative use of adds disgraceful. The developers would be better off making you pay up front for the app than selling it for free and trying to do blatantly manipulate the user into paying to remove the adds. Take this one issue away, and the app is remarkable. Very attractive and robust. You can not only learn flags, but landmarks and currency (though this ends up not being so great) as well. The practice options are well thought out and progress the user in a way that is conducive to learning. A really well made app. Please reconsider your use of adds and make the appropriate changes. Even consider making the competition function accessible only to paying users.

Really like this, and the variety of languages you can play it in is impressive- and it makes it more fun and challenging. Better practice than other similar apps I’ve seen. The addition of capitals, etc. and having to choose between very similar flags makes this a real test! Other apps I’ve seen for flags were way too basic and easy. I also paid to have ads removed and then the app froze, so I removed it and reinstalled the free one, so sounds like this is a common issue... on the other hand, there aren’t so many ads that it matters too much.
