A geography education app from Vito Technology has been revamped with a new design and added features to help young users learn and share facts about the planet.
Both the iPhone and iPad versions of the updated Geo Walk-3D World Fact Book went on sale Friday in the App Store. In both updates, the user interface has been redesigned to let users spin a digital globe, with facts and landmarks popping up throughout the journey.
Other updates include a new “quiz mode” designed to test the user’s geography knowledge, as well as options to share information via Twitter and Facebook.
