WHAT PEOPLE SAY:
"Geo Walk is also an educational app, and features a rotatable model of Earth, with various landmarks and places touchable on it. Click on the Eiffel Tower, and you'll get a picture, as well as a quick blurb about the structure. The design seems to be the same as the other Vito apps -- create an interface that's fun and easy to navigate around, and then fill it with as much information as possible." © Mike Schramm, TUAW
"Geo Walk doesn't explore deep space, it explores our own varied planet. Think of Geo Walk as a world fact book at your fingertips." © Mel Martin, TUAW

Customer Reviews
Awesome!!!
This is a great app that just keeps getting better! This is the app I use for a little downtime. I learn a lot of interesting facts and see beautiful photos. My grandchildren also really enjoy it.
Initially I had a few problems with this app. The experts at Vito Technology got back with me within 24 hours to correct it. Impressive!
Great for exploring
Opens up all kinds of new options to explore. Thanks for some glimpses where I wouldn't have thought to go.
Walk The Earth
Geo Walk is like a modern encyclopedia app, not a full one but with at least 500 interesting and up-to-date photos plus information on various subjects, including historical people and places, and unusual animals and plants.
Like other apps (Star Walk and Solar Walk) from Vito Technology, Geo Walk has a nicely designed interface and an intuitive way to select the subjects you want to view. Anyone, including kids, will know how to navigate this app and start to immerse in it immediately with all the easy-to-read information, not to mention the high resolution photos, which is really the attractive part. It provides facts that even adults will find amazing.
Other than good design, the menu interface let you sort your view by people, places, animals or plants, or view any 2 or 3 or all of the categories at the same time. You can either see your choices on a 3D globe, which will clearly indicate the country related to the photos you are viewing, or just a simpler card-streaming view. The new update makes the app even better by adding new Earth texture, new card design and animation, and a new category.
In short, Geo Walk is simply a wonderful learning app for both kids and adults, especially when using the app together, because both will definitely learn something new.
