It is very obvious the Design team and the Developer team and the Content team is a fantastic Team of Teams. They also used many open-source components, which are listed in the credits. Go have fun, try the app! See if you can find the Essentials screen. Scroll through the All Statistics screens for each City. Very nice way to have an animated infographic! But first, get a napkin to wipe the drool :-) https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/city-guides-by-national-geographic/id592453480?mt=8 -- Niraj Comments National Geographic City Guides is a marvelous example of an app that follows those rules.
