Russian Flip - The Smart Way to learn Flags & World FactsHomeHow It WorksScreenshotsFAQFeedback
 

Q: What's a FAQ?
A: It stands for Frequently Asked Questions. I post a bunch of stuff that may answer your questions. (Or may just be interesting to no one else but me :P)

Q: How do I see a fullscreen image of a flag?
A: Touch the flag image during your practice session.

Q: How do I take a screenshot of a fullscreen image of a flag?
A: Press the HOME & POWER buttons together. The picture goes into your photos camera roll.

Q: How come the flags never all pile up in the Ancient area?
A: Please realize that the goal of learning (and this program) is to continually strengthen your mind. There is no such thing as "finished". The flags in a set will never all pile up in the Ancient area. After you exhaust all the untested flags, the oldest previously tested flag will be put back into testing rotation -- even if you answer it correctly. This is done on purpose.

Q: I think I found some mistakes. What should I do?
A: All of the territory information is taken directly from the CIA World Factbook. Please do not ask me to correct their information. Contact the CIA directly through their site.

Q: I love Flag Flip, now can you add ... ?
A: This is pretty much how most emails/comments go. The answer is: email me and I'll really try to figure out if I can do it. Mostly if I can't do it, it's due to screen real estate, not lack of desire. If that sounds like an excuse, please try programming an iPhone app without making it cluttered, ugly, or over bloated.

Q: Will you add the features I demand if I threaten you with a bad review?
A: No. Threats of a bad review or demands of any kind will simply be ignored.

Q: OK, so how about a GAME like Flag Flip with even more fun stuff?
A: I kind of play it as a game now. So, maybe, but I am way behind on the serious apps, so it will have to wait a bit.

Q: OK, this FAQ really isn't answering my questions... What's your favorite band?
A: Iron Maiden. But I do like Pink Floyd a lot as well. :P
