User reviews

An absolutely essential app; please keep updating!

I use this app on a daily basis as I go through my classical texts because I really like to be familiar with the geography of the text I am reading. The ability to search for a specific location and have the app zoom in on the map where that location is is priceless. Please, please continue updating this app for the newer Apple software releases!

5 Star Content, 3 Star App

The app needs a more intuitive may to navigate between the maps, it’s basically a confusingly organized PDF of insanely valuable maps. Ultimately the content is so valuable that I’m still very grateful they’ve released this as an app.

No longer supported?

The maps are excellent, and the price is very good compared to the book, but the gazetteer no longer works, and there doesn’t seem to be any support. Not a good look for a major academic publisher...

Gazetteer does not work

The alphabetic listing of sites no longer shows up, and the search function causes the app to crash and close. For the price, I expected some upkeep of the app.

Fantastic Maps

Would look even better if there was an Apple TV version
