It is very good. It teaches us many things like Countries ,states and capitals and monuments, cultures, cuisines and more. You can scan the globe and learn about animals and monuments. And there are many msteries and quizes to solve. It is very fun and educational. I loved this app and their product very much. Best for age 4-10

Tested app on my son's tablet before gifting him the globe; seems to be quite interesting. Sadly can't install app on my daughter's tablet even tho it's the same model as my son's (app won't show up as being available to install on her tablet). CS team was very quick to help troubleshoot and nailed down the problem to a minor fix. Hopefully they could fix it before globe is gifted to the kids for Christmas. 4 stars for the impressively quick response time and my quick test on functionality.

The globe is fragile (not designed for kids) and the base broke after a few months. The company continues to spam me, and their opt-out system is a dark pattern! Now, about the idea -- the kids don't really learn about the globe. They're glued to the screen. It seems cool at first, but AR goes through an iPad or phone, a tiny viewport on what should be kids looking at a globe. The content is severely limited for the space it takes to download. Buy your kids a real globe that's not cheap plastic.
