Community Insight:
This game is a lot of fun at first, but there are too many locations in the same set of countries: United States, Mexico, Italy, United Kingdom and Norway. Occasionally there will locations off the beaten path but it gets tiresome visiting the same countries over and over again. Branch out a little.
Love this game but after you buy it, they only give you 12 free levels. You have to pay for the rest.
It has street names on the road. Stupid.
All we can see is black screen. No photoes on any level and the poing in the ocean. What did we pay for.
We're only half joking by saying half the places in the 99 cents round are in Boston and there's 3 that are in the exact same spot in Italy.
- You will be able to enjoy all the real and exotic sceneries all around the world. 2. You get to learn some geography and cultures in a fun way. 3. It may help you to become a detective one day ;) Its such a fun game and we're totally addict to it.
More than a game… Great test of observation skills. Tougher scoring would be nice though. No full score unless you are within a 100 yards/meters! We have no crash problems on our iPad.
Very fun game for the person who likes searching for clues! The game drops you in the middle of an unknown location, and you have to cruise around in Google Maps looking for tips to aid you find your location. Forget Waldo and Carmen Sandiego; where in the world are you.
We love this game. We really do. We had to knock a star off because we accidentally pressed the button to connect to Facebook and now the app just crashes again and again. We have paid for all of the levels and am incredibly disappointed that we can't actually play them now. Huge issue.
We love this game and play it all the time. However, we would love to play it horizontally at all times instead of having to turn it vertically to guess the location.
We paid $1.99 for this game because we love playing it on our laptop (which is free by the way) it is very addictive plus you get to see a lot of different places. We were not very happy to find out that after doing the first 36, you have to pay again to get more! Also, there are things on the laptop version that is not on this version that is very helpful such as being able to return to your starting point which is where you want to place your marker when making a guess. Also, if you don't finish your search, you can not come back to it, it doesn't let you start where you left off. You have to start completely over! On the laptop version you can shrink your map and look at it when you need to. On this version there is no way to shrink it. Hopefully you can incorporate these fixes into an update. Other than that, it is a very fun and ng game.
Our daughter introduced us to this app, and now we're hooked! Didn't realize how well we knew geography until playing.some curveballs thrown in, but way cool.
A highly addictive game, but no way to save your progress within a level. Combine this with frequent crashes, and you have a recipe for frustration. We can't wait for the patch.
Love playing this, it's a good fix if we're not able to do GeoGuessr on a computer. However…it crashes and freezes. A LOT. And you have to start the level you are on completely over (thankfully, does not erase everything). A few times, it's frozen our iPhone 4 completely, and we had to turn the phone off/on. Also…a bit more variety. ENOUGH WITH SAN DIEGO ALREADY.
A great game and getting better.
A fun way to see the world and challenge friends.
This game is awesome and we're so glad it is mobile, but after paying $1.99 for the game, we shouldn't have to pay for every level pack after that. Especially since the photos are just from google earth and on the computer the entire game is free. Please fix this and stop being so greedy. More people will pay the one time price for the game if they know they won't have to pay in-app purchases for every level pack.
It's fun to play alone but we cannot connect with Facebook. It says "Loading your matches" then crashes everytime.
We love that the original Geo Guesser is now mobile, but one key feature in the original GeoGuesser, was that it was random. It spawned you in a random place in the world. There needs to be a randomized mode, and possibly only make the deluxe levels paid. Not all three others. Please consider these ideas.
We had a great score, but couldn't start where we left off. No way to really compete.
4/5 locations are in the US in the same cities over and over again. Oh, and you have to pay for the next set of awful levels.
Good game, but waste of money. Spent 2 dollars on the game, then had to pay extra for more levels and multiplayer doesn't even run.
App crashes everytime we try to connect to Facebook. We've had to uninstall and reinstall a couple time now.
Cool concept, execution needs some fixes: Ad overlays menu, so trying to click "X" to dismiss starts a new game (the button below the "X"). Needs a way to return to starting point. Lower map section registers guesses when trying to move around, resulting in bad guesses. Too many US addresses. When the game asks for a review and sends you to the App Store, you can't add a review.
It is a good game, but you end up having to purchase the other levels after finishing the first 12. We find it annoying to have to pay 99 cents for the app to begin with and have pay to continue. Not worth the $8 it will cost you.
We've played the web version extensively. This mobile app lacks two major components: 1. There is no compass 2. There is no "return to start position" option. We also cannot recommend this on a small screen (iPhone 5, specifically).
We just bought it and cannot get the second game to load. Tried several times. We would not advise getting it.
We tried to connect to Facebook and now the game will not open.
Bought the game today for our iPad and it crashes every time we open it. Love the desktop version…hope they get this fixed.
The app doesn't work, it closes out every time we open it.
Can't login with Facebook. Crashes every time.
Loved it. Hope it works again. Very frustrated with it crashing everytime we load it less than 24 hrs after purchasing it (and gift purchasing it). FIX IT:(.
We love playing this for the comp but we just bought and downloaded this (IPhone 5C) and it does nothing but crashes. Any fixes.
Please fix the app. It crashes as soon as we open it. IPhone 6+.
Our son was thrilled to find this app because it closely mirrors a game we've played informally with StreetView. It works well but has two very large flaws: – Most of the street views are from North America. There are so many interesting street views around the globe, but the developer was apparently too lazy to look for them – or too cheap to offer them in the basic PAID version of the app. – In order to continue playing the game you have to buy further stages . This is outrageous given that it's totally easy to find cool street views. A rip-off, don't buy it.
Just go online and play the better one for free.
The app is one ad after another.
We're sorry, but for .99 cents we shouldn't see ads. And we should see a map when we play. Don't buy this. What a waste of money.
Can't get it to work. Too bad love to play on the website.
No photo appears – can't play…(on a 4s running latest iOS).
What a piece of garbage. No photos even load on 5S.
No picture was shown at all… All black.
This app has a fixed set of locations and definitely is not made by Geoguessr. It also just sent us a push notification advertising Fruit Jam.
A few glitches or else it'd be 5 stars.
We've been enjoying the game, but the Facebook integration does not work.
We agree with the above review. There has to be access to multitasking so the user can pursue clues. Check back with us when that is fixed. Very promising otherwise. Just not functional as is.
Overall not as good as the website version. The main functional flaw is the fact it resets every time you leave the app, preventing any multitasking without restarting your game. It also seems to always start on the first page of games, regardless of where you left off. It would be better with many of the features on the web version, such as: a compass; a return to start button; accuracy to more than within a mile.
We're not the best at the game but enjoy trying to get it rightq.
Very addicting and an awesome concept.
An extremely challenging and fun game for people who like to solve mysteries. Our only wish would be that the locations would be random. Going through all levels a second time we found all locations were repeated.
