To celebrate the coming together of countries and cultures for the XXII Winter Olympic Games,we're sharing an app with you that will take you around the world! But to ensure that it is "gold medal quality", we are taking this app around the track! We are taking this app around the track to find out what’s under the hood! We’ll tell you if it’s worth your time, if what we find is any good. If it happens to be free, doesn’t mean download you should. As we tie up our shoelaces, we will put it through the paces. What follows is our verdict on what the case is, so stay tuned you should!
Overview: 1001 Wonders of the World aims to take you on an adventure! The purpose here is clearly to give you an experience of what it would be like be at each location. It not only features 2000 spectacular images, and interesting information on the most beautiful places on earth but it has the sounds to help capture the feel of each of those amazing places as well.
Additionally this app allows you to bookmark places you’ve been to or places you’d like to go; and even if you’re allowed to go based on that country’s visa requirements (US citizens only). You can also share with your friends although those only on Facebook, and a few other options in settings allows you to turn off sound, download content and contact support. A neat tutorial feature is also available but I doubt you will need it for long because of this apps very user-friendly interface.
Pros: Spectacular HD images, crisp sounds effects, vast library of info on each location, and user-friendly design
Cons: Limited sharing options, and only supports landscape mode
Conclusion: 1001 Wonders of the World is a well-designed app that delivers on what it promises.
