GeoGuessr is a geography game that challenges players to guess their location in the world using Google Street View. You are placed in a random spot and must use visual clues like language, license plates, and climate to pinpoint your position on a map. The mobile app features various modes, including single-player exploration, themed maps (cities, landmarks, etc.), and the highly competitive Battle Royale mode. Compete against others in real-time or challenge your friends to see who has the best global knowledge. It’s an adventure that takes you around the world from your sofa.

Dinsun Expert Review

Our Expert Score

92/100

GeoGuessr on mobile is a fantastic adaptation of the viral web game. It turns geography into an addictive detective game, where you are dropped into a random Street View location and have to guess where you are. Looking for clues in road signs, foliage, and architecture is incredibly satisfying.

The 'Battle Royale' mode is where the game really shines, adding a layer of competitive pressure as you try to out-guess other players before time runs out. It’s educational without feeling like a chore, and it truly expands your knowledge of the world. The touch controls for navigating Street View are intuitive, making it one of the best 'brain' games on the App Store.

Lots of fun- lots of empty roads.
Thu Aug 01 2019 Bibliosworm

Seriously I never realized how much of the world is bare blank empty roads lined with various shades of green and brown. So yeah you can tap for a looong time before you find a clue. But once you get that little bit of information- a language, a highway number, a road sign- then it gets addicting. If you land in rural Russia and don’t read the language then yeah you’re done for. There a tendency to repeat certain places a lot... Russia, Canada, Brazil... it’s almost as if they’re enormous countries or something. But one time the game put me in a small Canadian town in front of a building with a Canadian flag and a map of the town! Ya just never know. One thing I would like is some indication of how far you’ve traveled from your previous location. After tapping my way through Alaskan wilderness for awhile Ive likely lost track of distance and have no idea where I am in relation to the original drop point.

Fun game but flawed

I used to play this game many years ago when it was completely free, and have been hesitant to pay for it until now. I really want to give this app five stars, but as a paid app I see a flaw that makes it slightly frustrating for a product that is otherwise flawless. The big problem I see is that with ranked play (which I really enjoy by the way) has a tendency to pick locations that aren’t that random. For example, I have gotten Christmas Island more times that mainland United States. I also land in the US territories more often than the US and Canada combined. Central Asia can be quite rare to get, and being a populated country I’m a bit surprised Japan doesn’t show up more often… or South Korea. It has a huge tendency to pick European countries and especially Eastern European countries. I get the feeling that countries are weighted equally, which is cool because you get to see lots of small countries. However, I wish that certain regions of the US, Canada, Brazil and Japan were weighted equally against countries of a similar size. It would make the locations feel a bit more random, rather than constantly getting the numerous Baltic or Balkan countries where it has a strong tendency to choose from.

Taking it too far. Simple is better

Game is great, been playing GeoGuessr since long before they had an app and even pro. The game is amazing and one of the best out there. The app, something to be desired. They constantly throw these silly “features” around that just take away from the experience. The latest “improvements” include a way to spend your coins to re-roll your map…. But you spend it and it will just “re-roll” to the same map more than half the time. There’s all these new motions such as the zoom in to the solution once you submit, but the latest update extends the time to showing the solution and half the time the map closes. These bugs are all existent for nothing, the “features” added don’t improve anything about the user experience. Geoguesser has always been strongest with simplicity. Do away with the silly app changes and over complex “rewards” etc. Monetize on time played and map availability, Google API costs can be high so that makes sense. Don’t charge for coins that are only usable for “rerolling” the map when it almost always gives you the same map again. Unplayable on iOS atm until things get back to basics.

Huge bug

Unfinished games doesn’t work. Puts you back at location 1/5 even though it says 2/5 or 3/5 in the top corner. Then if you guess the location of 1/5 it will still think you are at the one you should be at. This happened twice in one game. 1st location i got right it was new zealand. 2nd and 3rd i got right as well. 4th I knew was somewhere in washington but then I had to go do something so i took a break. I come back, hit unfinished games and there I am in new zealand again - same location as map 1 - and I can move freely around, yet it says map 4/5. I guessed new zealand but then it says im actually in washington US like I initially thought, thousands of miles away. 0 points for that one. Next map is somewhere in Asia. I move around a bit then I have to go do something again. I come back, hit unfinished games and im in that same spot in new zealand yet again. So I guess south korea because I learned from my mistake (apparently didnt learn enough though because the same bug happened twice) and it says i was in tokyo, got like 2000 points because i had to rely on the small amount of info i gathered before i had to take a break.

Not worth it

I would play this game all the time if the app version was like the browser version & let you choose maps other than the whole freaking world. Even so, I love the game so much I paid $3/month and stuck to the browser version, until it got so gd glitchy I couldn’t take it anymore. I’ll be walking along and then suddenly it freezes, I have to refresh & the map starts over or disappears. Sometimes you can double click far ahead on the map to move quickly forward, but other times you can only use the arrows to inch forward, which is not fun when the game drops you in the middle of nowhere. If you come to an intersection of more than 2 roads, the arrows overlap & it’s impossible to go in certain directions. The audacity to charge a subscription fee & provide paying customers with either an incredibly limited app or a clunky, glitchy browser game. I’m a huge map nerd & I adore the concept, but I just canceled my subscription because the execution is so bad. If they add all the features to the app, I’ll give them my $3.00 again.

Not very user friendly

I used to play this game on my old phone a lot but after I upgraded I downloaded it and cannot play. I load into “world mode” and it blur screens and never loads. I deleted and reinstalled the app but the problem was the same. I would like to play this game again but I can’t. Please fix. And to prove I’m not an AI, Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But in a larger sense we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us,that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion, that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth. Ok there’s the gettysburg address.

Geoguessr - lots of fun

Elegant concept: you are placed somewhere in the world in Google Streetview, and need to figure out where you are. You set the rules and the time limit, or can play competitively. If you’re just competing against yourself, you can set the rules: for example, do you just go by the general look of your surroundings, or limit yourself to evident languages and street signs, or ask for help from old Professor Google? Your call. There are multiple games within the game, corresponding to countries or cities. However, you need to earn your way into these by racking up points. You start out with a general “The World” game, which is fairly hard. Lots of country roads in the middle of nowhere. It’s worth it to “unlock” additional games, using the points you’ve earned. Warning: it’s addictive!

Please add more features from the website to the app
Sat Oct 05 2024 WhitFeather100

I do not have a computer and the geoguessr website doesn’t work correctly on my phone (no button to submit guesses) so i am forced to play on the app. I wish i was able to access all of the features the website has; such as daily challenge, US state streaks, and lots of other things. I think it is unfair that mobile players are handicapped even further from improving their skills. Geoguessr should be accessible to all players worldwide with the same features, not just those who can afford computers. I don’t understand why you would include certain medals on the app if i am not even able to earn them on the app. I love this game and i love exploring the world and i just want to be able to play the game the way the pros play. Being limited by my device and my income is disheartening and frustrating to say the least.
