Where is that?

Where is that? is a geography quiz and learning app for Android and iOS, developed by Jaysquared, the app studio of indie developer Jonathan Hillebrand. It covers more than 80 categories, including countries, capitals, states, cities, landmarks, and nature. Quiz mode provides four answer choices, while Pin mode asks players to choose a location from 10 or 30 options. A spaced repetition algorithm prioritizes areas that need more practice, and detailed statistics let players follow progress by location and category. Daily Challenge adds a new challenge each day; World Tour guides players through regions in stages. Online games support real-time play and asynchronous rounds, with all categories available. Single-player modes work offline, but multiplayer and Daily Challenge need an internet connection. The app is free to download, with unlimited access during a three-day trial; after that, a limited number of games are free each day. The app is available in English and German, and its maker says it currently shows no ads.

It suits learners of any age, including people studying school geography topics, as well as anyone who wants self-study practice. It can also suit players who want offline single-player quizzes.

The free download includes unlimited access for a three-day trial, followed by a limited number of free games each day.

Where is that? is a geography-learning app for people who want to practise locating places and monitor their progress over time. Its combination of adaptive review, varied quiz formats and offline single-player play is appealing, though the daily free allowance is limited after the three-day trial.

Overview

The app spans more than 80 categories, from countries and capitals to cities, landmarks and nature. Spaced repetition steers practice toward areas that need work, while location-level statistics and category progress give learners a concrete way to see what they have mastered. That structure suits self-study and school geography topics at any age, particularly for learners who prefer a clear target over unstructured quiz rounds.

There are two ways to answer: Quiz mode offers four choices, while Pin mode asks players to choose a location from 10 or 30 options. Daily Challenge supplies a fresh challenge each day, and World Tour moves through regions in stages. These formats provide both short daily practice and a more guided route, but the Daily Challenge requires internet access.

Key features

• Adaptive practice: Spaced repetition focuses attention on weaker areas, making it useful for steady revision rather than simply replaying familiar questions.
• Broad geography coverage: More than 80 categories cover countries, capitals, states, cities, landmarks and nature. Continent- and country-specific categories are part of the paid subscriptions.
• Progress tracking: Detailed statistics for each location and category make it possible to work toward 100% completion and identify remaining gaps.
• Online multiplayer: Real-time games and asynchronous rounds are available, and all categories can be played free in online games. This is a useful way to access broader category play without a subscription, but it depends on an internet connection.
• Offline single-player: The custom mapping engine supports single-player modes offline, so practice is not limited to connected sessions.
• No current ads: The maker says the app currently shows no advertising, keeping free play uncluttered.

Pricing

Where is that? is free to download, with a three-day trial that provides unlimited access. After the trial, the free plan allows a limited number of games each day. That makes it viable for occasional practice, but less suitable for anyone who wants unrestricted solo study.

The subscriptions are the route to those additional categories for players who want them in single-player practice. Their prices are custom pricing, so the relative cost of monthly versus annual access cannot be weighed here.

Platforms

The app is available on Android and iOS, in English and German. Offline use applies to single-player modes; online multiplayer and Daily Challenge need an internet connection.

Who it's for

Where is that? is a strong fit for learners who want repeated map practice, visible progress and the option to study offline. Its breadth and staged activities can suit both school-topic revision and independent learning. It is a weaker fit for people who expect unlimited free solo play or want every category unlocked without a subscription.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Spaced repetition and detailed statistics direct practice toward weak spots and make category goals measurable.
• Pros: Quiz and Pin modes, daily activities, staged regional play and multiplayer give learners several ways to practise.
• Pros: Single-player modes work offline, and online multiplayer opens all categories for free.
• Cons: Free solo games are capped daily after a short, three-day unlimited trial.
• Cons: Continent- and country-specific categories require a subscription, whose price is custom pricing.
• Cons: Daily Challenge and online multiplayer are unavailable without an internet connection.
