Warning: This application takes up a chunk of your iPhone’s storage space, and will gobble up a chunk of your day once you download it. Next time someone mentions Timbuktu or Istanbul, and you wonder, “what on earth is going on there?” you need wonder no more. There are themed globes and maps that feature information about population and energy statistics, as well as current political alliances.
Compatibility: iPhone and iPad (The app only works with iPhone 4 or later and iPad 2 or later)
Cost: Free
