National Geographic Pictures for Windows 10, Windows 8is an application that display some pictures from the National Geographic collection. This is a very basic application and is not an official version of National Geographic, so there are only a few pictures there.
My guess is that these are free pictures, so that’s how a third party managed to use them inside a non-official National Geographic application.
But if you’re looking for a fewawesome pictures, then this app performs the job. While we’re still waiting for an “official” version, this is what we’ll have to get used to. I’ve only decided to review it because many are probably searching for something that could bear the name “National Geographic.
The application isn’t that great and it only displays 25 pictures (from what I’ve managed to count). And on top of that, it is advertisment-supported.
National Geographic Pictures for Windows 10, Windows 8 Review
We can only hope that National Geographic representatives will listen to the users’ demands and come up with official apps. Right now, we’ll have to make due with this limited amount of pics. But, maybe I’m wrong, so if you know of any National Geographic-branded application in the Windows Store, don’t hesitate to inform us.
Currently, the application has a 3.7 out of 5 rating based on more than 20 votes, soit’s not that bad, according to many. The positive thing about this application is that every day, a new picture appears in your “collection”.
So, to a certain extent, it’s much easier to keep track of your pictures in this way. Don’t look at your app for one week, and you’ll see 7 new pictures. Here’s what I did: I made a folder on my computer, named it “National Geographic Wallpapers” andstored all the picturesthere.

Update
This application does not longer exist. Instead of a photo app, National Geographic has created Nat Geo Wild – an app which gives you access to videos. However, if you are looking for pictures, there is another app that you can find in the store:Natural Geographic(for Windows Mobile only) which includes more features in it.
Unfortunately, it is available only in Spanish (Mexico). If you feel your Spanish is good, you can give it a try to search for pictures. Feel free to tell us about your experience in the comment section.
