On our Android phones, we have a wide variety of apps that help us when we travel. One of the most widely used is Google’s solution, Google Maps, which recently added some lesser-known features. However, maps serve not only to guide us, but also to They also make us happy with titles like GeoGuessr.
It is precisely this that adds support to the official mobile app, which makes it easier to access the game when we are away from home. Although we can play without problems from the browser, now it will be more comfortable, keeping it free.
Download the official GeoGuessr app for Android now
As soon as we install the official GeoGuessr application, we will see a short but useful tutorial in which we will learn the basics of its operation. The interface has been adapted in the best way, being possible to play in landscape mode.
As in the desktop version, we use the street view function of Google Maps, placing us in a specific place that we must indicate on the map. In the view at street level, it will be easier to recognize places thanks to the environment that surrounds us. We can move around as if it were the Google app, double tapping to scroll and tapping the screen to look around.
When we’ve found the solution (or so we think), just touch the green icon with a map which appears in the lower right corner. Thus, we will display the map on a split screen, and we will touch it to place the pin. Finally, to mark the place and check if we have succeeded, we will click on the thumbtack icon again.
We can play alone or compete against other random rivals with competitive modes: there are duels, a ‘Battle Royale’ of countries and another of distances. Each has its own rules and settings, offering a variety of play styles.
We have a split screen which makes it easier to select the location on the map.
The application works perfectly on Android, so it becomes the number one option if we want to enjoy this entertaining game. On the other hand, the settings allow us to configure certain aspects, such as the distance measurement unit or reviews push (they will let us know when it is our turn).
GeoGuessr needs a profile where we will save our progress.
It’s worth mentioning that it’s free to download and use, but it does have subscription plans. What will it be for us to pay? Well, mainly for Remove adsbut it also allows us to play without limits and with friends.
We’ve been researching places for a while now and can confirm that the official app is exactly what we needed. It does not take up too much space and thus we avoid accessing it from the browser, so We have no excuse to put our knowledge into practice geography while having fun with friends.
