Cost: Free!Wanting a globe for your classroom, but don't want to shell out the money? Worried country boundaries and names will change? Looking for more information on a country than just the name and location? This app will take care of all these problems...and it looks great, too!
Globe is just that...a virtual map of the world. It has a great, really clean, 3D look to it. Like a real globe, it can be spun around at the touch of a finger. You can even take a look at the poles or zoom in easily to any location. It only shows political boundaries, but this just means it isn't cluttered by landforms graphics
One extra feature over a physical globe, however, is that each country is linked to a Wikipedia article. Just tap you finger on the country and instantly have access to a wealth of information - history data, population numbers, laws, religions, cultural habits, etc.
Check it out at the iTunes App Store.
