Really cool!
Thu Sep 03 2020 KittenMoneyI never played the first GeoGuesser, so I don’t know what the other reviewers are complaining about, but this game is rad and admittedly a lot more entertaining than I thought it’d be!
It’s a great time killer that not only challenges your geographical knowledge, but also challenges your perspective on what other countries are actually like beyond our own ingrained stereotypes.
Awesome idea, and very well executed! I’ll be playing this for a long time :)
Knockoff
Sat Mar 13 2021 joshlaymonOk so first things first, this is a knockoff of the game GeoGuessr. This game doesn’t connect to that site or leaderboards. So before you pay up, be aware.
Secondly, I’m on my 3rd day of play. I have been given the same locations so many times that I basically have half the game memorized. There is one image in downtown DC that I have gotten at least 4 times. I don’t even have to look at the street signs to find the location, I just know now. Which is too bad. If you think it’s truly giving you random locations out of the billions of images it has in street view, you are wrong. It’s a collection of certain ones they have for this game. Which begs the questions why if they are cherry picking the images, do they have so many crappy ones as well. There are a few images that are so blurred you cant see anything.
Worthless without the compass - Updated and edited
Sun Aug 16 2020 edcm1234I downloaded the new version because the Classic version stopped working. I relied on the compass and the flag in the Classic version to get back to where I started from. Those are both missing in this version so it’s not obvious how you figure out where you are - especially after you travel for a while to find clues. I will go back to the Classic version as soon as I figure out how to get it working again.
Update: Much better now with the compass and flag restored, but why combine them? I upgraded my review to reflect how much better it is, but I still prefer the original version.
Great game!
Thu May 26 2022 alliedamusicalI downloaded the first version and quickly became hooked, but the subscription to unlock unlimited play is a bit much. Thankfully I discovered this before my free trial was over. This game is just like the original but unlocked, unlimited play is much more affordable.
I only have one complaint, and I am not even sure if it is fixable. Most of the time, the locations I am given to guess are rural locations with no nearby clues as to where the location is. This is only a minor annoyance though, as long as I am able to play a few recognizable locations.
Great Game.
Fri Oct 29 2021 hibblehabblehuGeoguessr has a subscription thing now which is annoying. I used to play it until then. This is great and it's just like the original all except for the layout. But this is still good. $2.99 is way worth it.
Not the real game
Sun Nov 20 2022 CnadroJSo, this game works, and it can be fun, but there are a few things you need to know before you make a purchase.
1. This is not the real game, and does not seem to be affiliated with GeoGuesser in any way.
2. The game will glitch out, and ruin your game progress. Happens a lot when zooming too far into the map.
3. The game does not respect country settings very well. I often limit it to US only, and get placed in Europe, Asia, and other parts of the world. I just played a US game and got placed in Czech Republic.
4. You will get lots of repeats. And I mean a lot. Ask my how many times I have been placed next to the worlds largest thermometer in Baker, CA. Of all the places in the US I could be dropped.
It still may be worth a few bucks to purchase, but please understand these gotchas before pulling the trigger on this one.
Great concept but inconsistent difficulty.
Wed Sep 22 2021 BadLarry1The fam is hooked on this game. The only thing I wish the app could do was reduce or filter the random locations that have no discernible features for miles. Leaves too much up to luck rather than being able to really narrow down the possibilities. I guess the word I’m looking for is ‘curate’? Devs should curate the questions to eliminate the impossible ones.
It’s ok
Thu Sep 24 2020 A.U.S.T.I.N. .L.I got this game recently and the only problem is that most, in fact almost all of the locations in the game are fields of roads with no cars or buildings, maybe a house or two. There is also no flags, it would be a lot easier if there were flags which the game isn’t supposed to be that easy but I just have to make a wild guess most the time and can’t get a very high score because as I said it’s all fields mostly. And I’m a pretty big Geography nerd
It’s ok, game navigation doesn’t always work
Sat Oct 16 2021 guerremapsPretty standard, very similar to another game, no idea who was first.
When navigating around the map, it doesn’t always work, so sometimes it’s near impossible to make an educated guess. When the Nav goes out, no idea how to get it back. Some small bugs like time tracking. I’d play it more if the nav worked.
Junk - blatant money grab
Sun Mar 28 2021 BigxstudioThe old game app is crippled so even maps we paid for don’t work. Then they just happen to offer a new improved paid version. Well the new version is junk. Limited maps, no famous place or city maps like the old version. The map now takes up half the screen. No pass and play, etc. They just put out crap program to get money from suckers who liked the old game and hoped this one was good. Don’t waste your money.
