    Thanks, my daughter loves it. She wanted me to tell you she's only 10 and got 2nd on the leaderboard.

    Im thinking about a similar thing for plant-species. Knowing them makes being outside a whole different experience!

      Kinda related, but I use the Seek app extensively to identify plants and it seems to work really well!
    • kyrylo 92 days ago
      Is there a large community of plant enthusiasts?

    I got romania and chad alongside each other, that certainly made it harder lol.

      Yeah, that's a hilarious situation :)

      Chad and Romania don't want to change their flags!

    For some reason the game is highlighting the correct answers for me before I click them.

      It's a hint. It is shown every 4 seconds if you're not clicking on anything.

      Do you think it would be better if hints were a separate button?

        Yes please! It’s a great game, but it’s giving unwanted spoilers.

        Give a Hint button where you “pay” some time to use it.

        Thanks for making it!

          Done! Now you need to press the "Show hint" button.

    Simple, but with excellent execution. Greatly enjoyed practicing with this, and bookmarked so I can return

      You're welcome! I am especially pleased to know that your daughter liked it :)

      My 2-year-old daughter can't appreciate it yet.
