Geographer is an elegant and powerful world atlas based on the CIA World Factbook.

Youll find all of the World Factbooks rich country information, ranked lists and field definitions inside. But youll find a whole lot more too.

While the World Factbook does mention cities, admin divisions, mountains and lakes, it is primarily country-focused. Geographer supplements the World Factbook by adding rich information to these other entities. This information takes the form of sortable lists, Wikipedia excerpts, maps and photos.

Geographer is also a more powerful and interactive World Factbook. A region filter can be applied to ranked lists to allow for regional comparisons. A ranked list can be displayed as pins on a map, providing a different way to compare locations. Local times and distances from locations are provided. And its easy to change the current location or sort field from almost anywhere in the app.
