*** WHY THIS APP? ***

Confucius (551-479 BC) expounded the philosophical concept about two thousand five hundred years ago: "a world is full of difference and contradictions, but the righteous folks would balance them and achieve harmony."

Secretary Hillary Clinton said recently, "I have often quoted a Chinese proverb which says that when you are in a common boat, you have to cross the river peacefully together. Well, we are in a common boat."

Butler, a small college with big heart, who almost won the US college basketball national champion, has this vision: "The University emphasizes a liberal arts-based education with the goal of teaching clear and effective communication, appreciation of beauty, and a commitment to lifelong learning, community service and global awareness."

This world is our world, our common boat, and global awareness should be in everyones vision, if we want to really achieve harmony.

Pros and cons of 205 National Anthems, Maps, Flags, Facts app for iPhone and iPad

205 National Anthems, Maps, Flags, Facts app good for

I downloaded this app today and like another similar app, the quality of the anthems is decent. However, when the anthem was chosen for the Russian Federation, the wrong song was chosen. The chosen version was for the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. This is a similar error, but, doesnt detract from the others present.
Earlier I reported it doesnt work and received almost instant respones from Jeff Tang- with latest update works great! Thanks
I love this app but please make some changes. Tajikistans National Anthem is supposed to be Surudi Milli, not Thailands national anthem. Afghanistans National Anthem isnt even finished so go fix it then Ill give it 5 Stars.

Some bad moments

Worst thing ever!!!!! Not something worth buying. Boring detail. The countries that are actually important, half dont even have anthems!!!!! Further more the layout is in a horrible list layout that is so difficult to get through its frustrating
This is the worst. Do not buy. I downloaded it and it doesnt even work. Dont waste your money. I am extremely disappointed with it.
Heres what I wrote the developers: "I like your app, but it is very hard to read. White text on an orange background is extremely distracting. I also recommend that you not justify the text, and that you choose a more standard font. You might also consider tightening up the layout, perhaps presenting the data in tabular format. But I LOVE the anthems!" After I wrote the above, the developer responded with an update to the UI that looks far slicker and is easier to use. Four stars now!
