World Flags and Geography, an educational quiz app for iPhone and iPad, is free on the App Store for a limited time. The App Store listing shows the price as Free, and New Mobile Life reported that the app normally costs US $0.99. Neither source states when the free offer ends.
What the app does
The developer, H Valeur, describes the app as both a game and a learning tool. It tests players on the flags of the world’s countries, on where those countries are located, and on their capital cities. According to the listing, it suits geography teachers and students who want to learn while playing.
The capital city quiz arrived in version 1.2 in 2021, when the app was also updated for the iOS of that time. The first listed release, version 1.1, dates from 2013. The listing shows 1 rating, a score of 5.0 out of 5, so there is very little user feedback to go on.
Platforms and size
The listing says the app runs on iPhone and iPad and needs iOS 14.1 or later, or iPadOS 14.1 or later. It carries the label “Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.” Apple also lists compatibility with a Mac that has an Apple M1 chip or later and runs macOS 11.0 or later, and with Apple Vision running visionOS 1.0 or later. The download is 54.9 MB, the age rating is 4+, and English is the only language. The sources do not mention an Android version.

If the button shows a price, the free offer has ended.
What it means for readers
Neither source gives a Canadian price or says whether the free offer applies in the Canadian App Store. The US $0.99 figure is the normal price New Mobile Life quoted, so check your own storefront before relying on it. Because no end date is given, the offer could change at any time.
Who it suits and what to check
This is a simple quiz for students, teachers and anyone curious about flags and capitals. It is in English only and was last updated in 2021.
Read the privacy section first. The developer’s notes, which Apple says it has not verified, say that location, identifiers, usage data and diagnostics may be used to track you across apps and websites, and that third-party advertising is involved.
