### 1/5 — Hijacked my phone.  Virus

*2021-11-21*

This App has hijacked my iPhone.  It never worked and I have deleted it at least 50 times, however it keeps reinstalling itself and asking me to update.   I did choose update the 1st time but no better.  Wondering what it’s doing in the background.  Obvious virus

I downloaded 2 of the games from this developer and they both do the same thing. 

Be warned!

### 5/5 — Civil War

*2019-12-13, version 2.0*

Great!

### 5/5 — Rx: cow

*2017-08-27*

Very entertaining as well as informative

### 2/5 — Nothing special about this quiz

*2017-06-10*

Ulysses Samuel Grant...
Many of his friends referred to him as Sam.
Your quiz says the S stands for nothing.

### 5/5 — Civil War Lite Game

*2016-11-20*

What is amazing to me is that all that I have learned regarding th Civil War was mostly my husband, the rest was particular movies about the Civil War that were the closest to real history of this time.  The way I was getting so many corrects with quickness, I was not sure who was playing.  Enjoyed the gallery, very interesting book list also.  Thank you.  😳

### 3/5 — Okay

*2016-10-25*

It contains good questions but other than that it's pretty bland and gets boring quickly. Also not that many question but I like the system of taking away wrong answers after a certain time. The design of the app is obviously not new so it's not very good but overall it helps you learn about the topic in this case the civil war so it's alright.

### 3/5 — Needs more questions

*2016-08-28*

There are 20 questions for the trial version,once you answer those, there are no more. One question gives the wrong answer. Need to expand the trial version to convince me that this app is worth the $2 for the full version.

### 4/5 — Civil war lite

*2016-05-24, version 2.0*

I like

### 4/5 — Ok if free only

*2015-08-19*

It is not bad for free.  Many great quotes between questions.

### 5/5 — Captjack

*2015-07-29, version 2.0*

Nice/fun little app
