    GeoBee

    Got this for young nephews to stimulate geography intrest and knowing where things are. I played game. The prints and map are entirely to small. When I try to use 'pinch' feature to zoom in the game uses that as my answer. Also, there is no way enlarge pictues for bonus round for better identification. There is problem with 'long' questions, trying to see all of it most of times triggers answer usually wrong.

    Get this fixed!

    This was the first app I purchased, shortly after apps became available on Nooks. EVERY update has been worse! Please do something to fix the bugs. It would be a great app if it would only work. It's gone from fine but tricky, to occasional freezes, to knocking you out before you start.

    Stuck

    This has been "installing" for the last 14 hours, which leaves me with a not very good feeling regarding the app in general.

    After recent update, this APP no longer works. E-mailed National Geographic about the problem. Hope it is fixed shortly, as I enjoyed it while it lasted!
