A mysterious error occured in a part of an app that I haven’t touched recently and I was not able to reproduce the problem. I appologize to everyone affected by this bug and I’m thankful to all of you who sent me emails about the problem (I didn’t have time to reply).
Special thank to everyone who enabled sharing diagnostic information with app developers, because I wouldn’t be able to fix any of these recent issues without it!

Awright fowk! In this update I added all 4 constituent countries of the United Kingdom, so you can now explore England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Go and learn their flags, capitals, maps, population, GDP, and more. Their flags are now included in flag quizzes, so can you remember them all?

In addition, I improved few things in the UI and added ISO 3166-2 codes where applicable.

This update adds the European Union with all the data and member countries. EU is an organization like no other and in many cases it can often be directly compared to other large countries. Now you can learn everything about the European Union and its members in Statistics and Quiz. I even created a new type of quiz – can you tell which countries are the members of the EU? It’s not that easy!
I also updated the data for phone and internet usage, improved cartograms for continents (the colored maps), and added zooming buttons to the Blind Map quiz (you can still zoom by swiping one finger up or down).

This update has all the latest economic data for 2020 and population estimates for 2021.
After a significant delay, I finally changed the data sources of this app. The latest data are from the United Nations DESA, the International monetary fund, and the World Bank. With this new setup, I will be able to update data in future more reliably, so I have a good feeling about this. You can support continuous development of this app with some in-app purchases! Thanks for all your feedback!
In addition to the new data, I fixed spelling of some African capitals, I modernized contextual menus… oh and the Mount Everest in now 1 meter higher!

2019-11-01
This update brings refreshed appearance and better compatibility with the latest iOS.
You will notice more prominent text throughout the entire app, including large titles on every screen. The existing Dark Mode has been completely reworked for integration with iOS 13, so the app will adapt to your system preference.
Due to technical complexities, the app doesn’t feature Dark Mode on iOS 12 and it doesn’t work on iOS 11 or older.
I also fixed few issues, mainly related to CSV export.

This update allows you to export all data to CSV tables, so you can run your own analysis on them.
The export is available from Statistics module and provides more than 24,000 raw values. You can open the exported CSV files in Numbers or Excel and then edit, sort, calculate or filter the values. The export is a part of the Statistics purchase, but provides a demo in the free version. Try it!
In addition, mini map was added to iPad version. Tap it to quickly open Maps app.
I also updated name of the capital of Kazakhstan, which was renamed to Nur-Sultan on 23 March 2019.

This small update brings 3 improvements:
• Region of Mexico was changed from Central America to Northern America. I was using U. N. Geoscheme, but most other sources consider Mexico a part of Northern America, so it should be more intuitive now.
• Improved several VoiceOver descriptions, in particular GMT time zone offsets.
• Fixed a crash when tapping some header separators.
