Seterra

Overview

Seterra is a geography quiz app built around map-based practice, from identifying countries and capitals to learning rivers and geological features. It suits students who want repeatable revision as well as curious map learners; its main trade-off is a focused quiz format rather than a broader geography experience.

With more than 400 quizzes, 40 languages, offline access and progress tracking, it offers a substantial free resource for structured or casual learning. Pin and Type modes give quizzes two answer styles, while the long-running product is now part of GeoGuessr.
