Potential Unfulfilled
I bought this app with much anticipation and was much disappointed. While it is a decent account of the Revolutionary War, it does not fulfill its promise of taking advantage of the IPad's potential. The narratives are filled with misspellings, punctuation and grammar errors. This is not a good feature in a learning app. The interactive features use period paintings and engravings, but many of these are blurred and fuzzy. I hope future versions clean up those problems because this has the potential to be a decent learning tool. In the meantime, save your money.

not sure about this one...
The first thing I noticed was terrible spelling on the categories. "Revolution" is spelled wrongly several times, as is the word "American!" What message does that send to students? There are a few simplistic "multimedia" sections, but nothing interactive. Kids are crying out for interactive apps! Why can't this be better? I wanted to love it, but instead I mildly like it...
