Where is that?

Where is that? is a geography quiz and learning app for iOS and Android, developed by Jaysquared. It covers more than 80 categories, including countries, capitals, states, cities, landmarks and nature. Quiz mode offers four answer choices, while Pin mode asks players to select a location from 10 or 30 options. A spaced repetition system identifies areas that need more work and prioritizes them for practice. Detailed statistics let players follow progress for individual locations and categories. Daily Challenge provides a new challenge each day, and World Tour leads players through regions in stages. Online multiplayer supports live games and asynchronous rounds, with all categories available in online games. The custom mapping engine supports offline single-player play, but multiplayer and Daily Challenge require an internet connection. The app is free to download and offers unlimited access during a three-day trial; afterward, a limited number of games are free each day. Monthly and annual subscriptions unlock continent- and country-specific categories, with prices not stated. The app is available in English and German, and the maker says it currently shows no ads.

Where is that? combines several quiz formats, progress tracking and daily activities across a wide range of geography topics. Offline play is available for single-player modes, while online features and some category access have stated limits.

It suits people studying school geography topics or learning independently at any age. Offline single-player modes can also suit players who want to practice without an internet connection.

Where is that? is a geography quiz and learning app for Android and iOS, best suited to learners who want structured practice and a way to measure progress. Its range of topics and offline single-player modes are appealing, but the free allowance narrows after a three-day trial.

Overview

With more than 80 categories covering countries, capitals, states, cities, landmarks and nature, Where is that? offers a broad field of study. Spaced repetition directs practice toward areas that need work, and detailed statistics for each location let players track progress by category. That makes it a stronger fit for deliberate revision than for someone looking only for occasional, unstructured trivia.

Quiz mode presents four answers; Pin mode asks players to choose the right location from 10 or 30 options. Daily Challenge adds a new activity each day, while World Tour advances through regions stage by stage. Together, those formats offer both focused review and a guided sequence, though the daily activity depends on an internet connection.

Key features

• Adaptive review: Spaced repetition prioritizes weaker areas, helping learners revisit difficult locations instead of spending every session on familiar material.
• Two quiz formats: Multiple-choice questions and location selection from larger sets provide different ways to practise recognition.
• Progress tracking: Location statistics and category progress give learners a concrete target, including the option to work toward 100% in a category.
• Online multiplayer: Real-time games and asynchronous rounds support play with others, and all categories are free in online games. This is a meaningful exception to the subscription requirement for some solo category access.
• Offline single-player: A custom mapping engine supports single-player modes without a connection. Multiplayer and Daily Challenge require internet, so offline use does not cover every activity.
• No ads: The maker says the app currently shows no advertising, which keeps the free daily sessions from being interrupted by ads.

Pricing

Where is that? is free to download and includes a three-day trial with unlimited access. After the trial, the free plan provides a limited number of games each day. It is suitable for casual practice, but less so for learners who want unrestricted daily sessions.

The subscriptions are for players who want those continent- and country-specific categories for single-player practice. Monthly and annual billing are offered, but no subscription price is stated, so buyers cannot compare their cost or commitment before choosing. The free plan is the clearest fit for occasional play or online multiplayer, where all categories remain free.

Platforms

The app is available on Android and iOS, in English and German. Its offline mapping supports single-player modes on either platform; online games and Daily Challenge need a connection.

Who it's for

Where is that? suits self-study at any age and can support school geography topics, particularly for learners who benefit from repeated practice and measurable category goals. Its breadth also works for players who want to move beyond countries and capitals into cities, landmarks and nature. It is a weaker match for anyone seeking unlimited free solo play or fully offline access to daily and multiplayer activities.

Pros and cons

Pros

• More than 80 geography categories give learners room to practise beyond standard country-and-capital quizzes.
• Spaced repetition and location-level statistics make progress more directed and visible.
• Offline single-player play supports practice without relying on a connection.
• All categories are free in online games, even though some category access in solo play requires a subscription.
• No current ads keeps the free experience free of advertising interruptions.

Cons

• Daily free play is limited after the three-day unlimited trial, restricting sustained free solo practice.
• Daily Challenge and multiplayer require internet, limiting access to those activities offline.
• English and German are the only stated languages, which may not suit learners looking for other language options.

Alternatives

For a broader set of choices, see Geography Learning Apps.

• CapitalsQuiz is a narrower option for capitals practice, with five free games per day per device and no free trial; it also runs on the web.
• GeoCapitals offers a free download, but most quiz modes, extra coaching and the full Atlas require Pro. Choose it if those coaching and atlas features matter more than broad free access.
• World Map & Countries has a free selection of countries with ads, or a one-time $4.99 All Countries Premium unlock. It suits buyers who prefer a fixed-price country unlock over a subscription.
• World Quest for Kids starts with 30+ countries and offers a $3.99 monthly plan for the entire world and an ad-free experience. Its child-focused positioning makes it the alternative to consider for younger learners.
• GeoGuess offers unlimited gameplay without ads, trackers or a subscription, making it a better fit for players who prioritize unrestricted free play.
• GeoGuessr has a limited free version and a Pro Unlimited plan at $47.88 a year, displayed as $3.99 a month. It is an option for someone willing to pay annually for its unlimited tier.
• MapZap includes Daily Challenge, duels, local play, Blitz and early campaign chapters in its free tier, with ads; its Pro plan removes ads and unlocks the full campaign, at a price not stated. Consider it for a campaign-oriented mix of modes.
• Myatlastic offers every country, photos, a 3D globe, spoken tours, a phrasebook, passports and Kids mode in its free plan. It is the broader reference-style choice for learners who want those globe and travel-learning tools alongside geography.

Verdict

Where is that? is a strong choice for learners who want broad geography coverage, adaptive review and progress goals, especially if offline solo practice matters. The main reason to look elsewhere is the restricted free daily allowance and subscription-gated solo categories; the unstated subscription prices also make cost comparison difficult. Choose it for structured study and varied geography practice, but not for unlimited free play.
