Love it!

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ I absolutely love this app! ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ
It does the work of 3-4 similar apps, making them all but obsolete.

But it doesn't seem to be working correctly anymore on my iPhone 6. Maybe something having to do with updates.

------------ UPDATE --------------
July, 2022

Works great now. Thank you so much!! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Iโ€™ll see if I can track that down. I have a physical iPhone 6s but for a 6, Iโ€™d have to use a simulator. :-) On my iPhone 13 with iOS 15.4, Iโ€™m not seeing any issues. Thanks. --- July 2022 --- We're very glad to hear that. Thank you for the update

Declaration of Independence

Deleting app. When this app actually includes the Declaration of Independence, Iโ€™ll have it back on my phone.
UPDATE: latest version does include the Dec of Independence.

Response from developer

The current version includes the Declaration of Independence.

Still no Declaration of Independence?

The programmers recently updated this app, an app devoted to the Declaration of Independence, the life of its signers, events and topics surrounding the Declaration... but still no Declaration of Independence.

Itโ€™s clear, from the programerโ€™s reply to my initial criticism that my comment has been read, so given that he or she read my criticism and then released a version of the app still sans Declaration, I can only conclude that it was omitted out of spite.

Update 2: The current version includes the Declaration of Independence. Update. Not true: no spite or slight intended. I am still looking for a way to include documents, but have limited availability at this time. The minor update states the updateโ€™s intent: to inform readers that the documents are not presently included, and for those who are mis-reading the description to impose/inject a meaning that is not there. The app (at this time), is not "devoted to the Declaration of Independence" but devoted to the lives of the signers (it is, first and foremost, a biography app). It *is* my intent to include the Declaration in the future because it has been requested. Another reviewer believed the product description wording mislead him, but the only way to edit the product description is to release a new version. In the meantime, you may request a refund via Apple's guidelines if you so desire. โ€”- Good morning! Normally, feature requests would be sent via email by clicking the provided link found in the โ€œAboutโ€ tab. We will happily consider including such requests in a future release. We will look for an appropriate location for inclusion of your request.

Misleading

I was looking for a text of the Declaration of Independence. Since today is July 4th and I wanted to read it. That text is not included. I just wasted 99 cents. Shame on you!

Response from developer

Update: The current version includes the Declaration of Independence. Note the description clearly states the purpose of this app is biographical information about the signers themselves, and not a publication of the Declaration itself. Some have requested that it be included in a future update and that is planned. In the meantime, you may request a refund via Apple's guidelines.

Educational but has issues

Great idea and educational tool but a few issues. First, app crashes a lot. Second, the quotes are great but sometimes you want a quote based on a category, ie is like a quote on patriotism or education. I just look in the category and see all the quotes relevant to that issue. That is more helpful than going through every founder to find a quote about a topic you want.

Please note the we have identified the bug causing the crash and have released an update. Thank you for the feature suggestions; we will examine the possibility of adding the enhancements.

Concise and Informative

The app has sections on each founder. I like the app.

Very useful App

This app works really well, and is great for referencing founding father quotes, their occupations, their writings and more. I like to scroll through their quotes and their occupations for inspiration regarding how to live my own life. The founders knew what life was all about, answering to the Creator and not the king... With great courage.

Nice app

This app provides some great, in-depth information about the people and events responsible for the founding of America. I have learned a great deal about the signers through this app, and I would rate it five stars if not for a handful of inaccuracies and various misspellings. I haven't seen anything too major, but this app could definitely use some proofreading. Two examples:

The app states that three Americans were killed in the Boston Massacre, when in reality five died.

The title of the event "1776 Colonies to States" spells "states" as "sates."

Very informative and educational

I love this APP. The format is easy to use and is presented in a way that makes it fun to learn about the founding fathers. It's a great APP for the entire family.

Bummed by misspelling...

So, I bought this and the first thing I've noticed is the number of misspelled words. If I were from North Carolina I'd be upset! Run a spell check, update and this will be a 5!

Response from developer
