I built an app for falling down geography rabbit holes across every country in the world

Over the past few months, I’ve been building GeoSwipe, an interactive guide to every country and territory in the world.

The idea came from how often I would start reading about one country and end up falling down a much longer geography rabbit hole. I wanted to create a more visual and interactive way to explore that curiosity.

The idea is simple: you discover countries one at a time, swipe left to keep exploring, or swipe right to open a detailed guide covering geography, landscapes, culture, history, languages, cities, government, the economy, everyday life and common misconceptions. The information is synthesised from credible sources such as Britannica and the World Bank, with references included throughout.

I’ve also added regional maps, flag explanations, interactive statistics, country comparisons, guide-based quizzes, audio guides and a few short geography games.

I recently released it on iOS. This video shows a small part of what I built, and I’d genuinely appreciate any feedback.

Practising Spain’s regions on the map

I made this regional quiz for GeoSwipe, an iOS geography app I recently released. It includes detailed country guides, regional maps and quizzes, country comparisons, and other geography games.

I still find some regions of Spain much harder to place than others.

I built an app that explains the meaning behind national flags

Over the past few months I built GeoSwipe, an iOS app for learning about countries in depth through a more interactive format.

The idea is simple: you discover countries one at a time, swipe left to see another, or swipe right to open a detailed guide when one catches your interest.

Each guide includes an explanation of the national flag, including its symbols, colours, meaning, and history.

The guides also cover geography, culture, history, language, cities, economy, everyday life, regional maps, audio, and interactive statistics. I also added country regions, comparisons between countries, quizzes, and short geography games. 

I’ve just released it on iOS and would genuinely appreciate any feedback, especially ideas for other flag-related features.

I built an app for exploring every country and territory in detail

Over the past few months I built GeoSwipe, an iOS app for learning about countries in depth through a more interactive format.

The idea is simple: you discover countries one at a time, swipe left to see another, or swipe right to open a detailed guide when one catches your interest.

Each guide covers basic geography, landscapes, culture, history, language, cities, government, economy, everyday life, and common misconceptions. It also includes audio, flag explanations, regional maps, interactive statistics, and references to the original sources. The content is grounded in reputable sources such as Britannica, the World Bank, and National Geographic.

I also added country comparisons, quizzes, and short geography games, including ranking countries by population, locating countries on the map, and flag and capital quizzes.

I’ve just released it on iOS and included a very short demo here. I’d genuinely appreciate honest feedback from fellow geography nerds.
