The zoomable maps only show you where the country is on a globe. It, too, uses the CIA World Factbook’s small, static maps. But at least you could see where a country’s capital and other major cities are located. I thought World Factbook 2008’s maps were too static too be useful and too small to view easily. This makes reading easier, since the default type size is quite small.īut the World Wiki Plus’s maps aren’t worth zooming in to scrutinize. Atlas VPN was acquired by Nord Security in 2021, a market leader in offering digital security and privacy solutions. And you can zoom in and out of World Wiki’s entries with a just tap. Atlas VPN was founded in 2019 and it is a highly secure freemium VPN service that aims to keep the internet safe and open to anyone.

You can view World Wiki’s entries in landscape mode, and the app’s san serif typeface is easier to read than World Factbook’s more academic serif font. If you tap the menu button on the upper right hand of the screen, however, you can have the information broken down by category, such as geography, people, government, economy, an so on. Each entry is presented as a straight list of facts. Tap an entry and up pops a new window with the country’s name in its native language, flag, coat of arms, motto, map, and vital statistics. When you launch the app, you see the A-Z list of 200 countries and territories with their respective flags.

World Wiki Plus has a straightforward, no-frills interface. And although World Wiki Plus has a few shortcomings-very few, really-it has all of the features and the flexibility that its more expensive competitor lacks.

World Wiki Plus also uses the data from the latest official CIA World Factbook. Tech Lumina’s World Wiki Plus is an inexpensive improvement over World Factbook 2008 (and a slightly beefed up version of Tech Lumina’s free World Wiki).
