Hi Product Hunt! 👋
I'm Nagamani, a UI/UX designer. I built World View for my 7-year-old son.
He kept asking "where is that country?" while we watched videos together. The apps I tried were either full of ads or read like an encyclopedia. My own first attempt had the same problem: too much text, tiny pins instead of real countries, and only 12 countries.
So I rebuilt it around how a 7-year-old actually explores:
🌍 A real 3D globe with all 195 countries. Tap the country itself, not a pin.
🏷️ Point at a country and its name pops up right on it.
✈️ Every country shows how far it is from home ("About 6,000 km, 8 hours by plane").
🎯 Find it!: the app names a country, your child finds it and wins stars, with hints after a wrong tap.
🛂 A passport to collect a stamp for every country visited.
🔊 "Read to me" for kids who are still learning to read.
It's free, with no sign-up, no ads and no tracking. Progress stays on your device. You can install it on a tablet, and it works offline.
Next I'm planning Tamil and Hindi, famous landmarks, and an Android app.
Parents and teachers: what would you want your kids to learn about each country? I'd love your ideas.
