Hero of Flag - World Flags

This app is a lot of fun and you definitely learn the flags in an enjoyable slightly competitive setting (with the stopwatch feature) but there are few big flaws which make it less enjoyable than it could be. One is that with each incorrect question answered, you do not learn what the correct answer was. This causes a lot of guessing over a series of tries rather than actual learning and comprehension. Secondly, the colorful answer boxes create confusion and actually slow the quiz takers response time as the eye almost always goes directly to the bright colors first which is an unnecessary distraction especially with the short 7-second allotted answer time. Each box should ideally be the same color and something close to black, white or gray so that the only connection needing to be considered is word to image. The bright boxes aren’t necessary and dilute the learning process. Finally, though the stop watch feature makes question answering more of a thrill, it is far too short for beginner users trying to learn which means they are less likely to persevere to higher levels. The allotted time for answering should be longer in the first levels and grow progressively shorter as the user advances. Another desirable feature would be a timed game where you can race your own time rather than an arbitrary set amount!

The app breaks up the flags into manageable groups so that you can teach yourself and then quiz yourself a few at a time.

It is very fun and it helps you learn and remember the name of the flag. I got the game for my sister but I got super addicted to it! If anyone want to know more about geography get this game!
