Excellent App about the American Civil War
I am from France and I have a deep interest in the American Civil War. I have some books and films about this period, and I was wondering if there was some Apps too. I have this application for some months now and I am very glad of it. I find it very interesting and well made. This App contains a lot of photos of the Civil War, some videos, maps, charts and music. There is a lot of biographies too. I particularly appreciated the interactive features and the narrations by Mary and Fred, and I was very interested by their short introduction about their home town and family, because it create a link between the past history of the USA and the present days. I hope all these people are well and I congratulate all the contributors of the making of this Application. I give 5 stars and a cute smiley ლ(◉‿◉ ლ)

Disappointed
This app didn't live up to my expectations. It says portrait or landscape is optional on the iPad, but it only works in portrait, I wouldn't have bought it otherwise. Also, none of the videos work, all I get is sound but no video. The app crashed on me after 2 minutes and if you click on the feedback button you can't return to the main menu, you have to close the app and reopen it. All these issues found in the first couple of minutes of use so what else am I going to find? Very disappointed.

Used to be good
They destroyed the app by inserting common core crap. Foolish mistake, can no longer be counted on for accuracy.

Text full of typos and poor grammar.
Otherwise informative.

This app is a mess of content
The concept is a good one, but the execution is quite amature-ish. The content is not well laid out, and the multi-media presentations contain music that plays over top of the narration, making it impossible to understand what is being said. The animations are jerky, not well choreographed, and have photos inexplicably interspersed at the oddest moments, making the flow of presentations hard to follow.
Some text is large enough to read easily. Other text is extremely small and very difficult to read with no option to zoom. Obvious that the app author cut and paste content from other sources in a hodge-podge presentation. Overally, content appears completely plagiarized for quick completion / quick sale.
Seriously, appears as though a group of high school kids put this app together. Quite disappointing for the price.
