The "Baraka" and "Samsara" website has a locations map which you can click to see additional info about each place.

True, but unfortunately limited only to selected places. Great resource to check out after watching the film, but not during watching it. The purpose of the app is to give you instant information about what you see. And it covers almost all scenes

I would use that app.

I finally got round to seeing this; I was waiting until I had a big enough TV (Now not sure if 50" is big enough for this film)

Watching it with the app in mind I got to thinking it would be nice if it contained links to Google Maps and/or Wikipedia.

Update! The app is available in App Store! It's called Filmpter and right now includes information for Samsara, Baraka and Chronos. It's free.

Congrats

I only have android, but I'll tell my friend about it

Android app is coming. Might be a while, though.

I remember that the first version was just for Samsara... do you think that adding Baraka and Chronos, thereby adding more content and more value, was what got Apple to OK it?

Hard to say, really. Apple is not giving any feedback. We think the integration with maps, social apps and perhaps favorites made more well-rounded in their eyes.

I have Baraka and Samsara and recently ordered Chronos, which should arrive next week. Now all I need is an iPhone.

Ipod Touch or Ipad will do as well.

Note: Someone on the IMDB Samsara board was asking a related question, so I posted your link there. You might do the same on the Baraka and Chronos boards.

Thanks! Certainly we're going to spread the news.
