Where is that?

Where is that? is a geography quiz app for iOS and Android, best suited to learners who want regular practice across a wide range of places. Its strongest case is adaptive review paired with measurable progress; the trade-off is a restricted free allowance after the trial.

Overview

With more than 80 categories spanning countries, capitals, states, cities, landmarks and nature, Where is that? offers a broad syllabus for self-study or school geography topics. Spaced repetition directs practice toward areas needing work, and location-level statistics help players see what remains to master. This makes it a better fit for learners building knowledge over time than for someone looking only for a quick, unstructured quiz.

Quiz mode presents four answer choices; Pin mode asks players to select the correct location from 10 or 30 options. Daily Challenge adds a new task each day, while World Tour progresses through regions in stages. The range gives players different ways to practise, though two of the more social or routine-oriented options—online multiplayer and Daily Challenge—depend on an internet connection.

Key features

Targeted practice: Spaced repetition prioritizes weaker areas, giving revision a clearer purpose than simply repeating familiar questions.

Two answer formats: Four-choice quizzes suit recognition practice, while Pin mode asks players to distinguish a place among 10 or 30 map options.

Progress tracking: Detailed statistics for each location and category progress toward 100% give learners a concrete way to measure coverage.

Daily and staged play: Daily Challenge supplies a new challenge each day, and World Tour takes players through regions in stages.

Online multiplayer: Real-time games and asynchronous rounds support play with others; all categories are free in online games, which broadens access beyond the solo subscription model.

Pricing

The app is free to download and includes a three-day trial with unlimited access. After that, free daily play is limited to a number of games each day. That makes the free tier suitable for sampling the formats or practising in short bursts, but less dependable for sustained study. The maker says the app currently shows no ads.

Subscription prices are custom pricing, so the relative cost of those terms cannot be weighed here. The free online multiplayer access to all categories is a useful counterpoint for players whose main interest is competitive play rather than solo category study.

Platforms

Where is that? is available on Android and iOS, in English and German. Its custom mapping engine supports offline single-player modes, making it workable without a connection for solo practice. Online multiplayer and Daily Challenge require internet access, so they are not options when offline.

Who it's for

The app suits students revising geography topics and self-directed learners at any age who want broad category coverage, repeated practice and visible progress. It is less suitable for someone needing unrestricted free solo play: the unlimited trial lasts three days, after which daily games are capped. Players focused on multiplayer can still reach all categories in online games without a subscription.

Pros and cons

Pro: More than 80 categories and adaptive review support sustained study across varied geography topics.

Pro: Location statistics and category progress make it possible to track mastery rather than just count completed rounds.

Pro: Offline single-player play and an ad-free current experience suit focused practice without a connection or ad interruptions.

Con: Free solo play is limited each day after the three-day unlimited trial, which can constrain regular study.

Con: Prices for monthly and annual subscriptions are custom pricing, making the cost of unlocking continent- and country-specific categories difficult to compare in advance.

Con: Daily Challenge and online multiplayer require internet, limiting those modes during offline use.
