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

### 4/5 — Fast and fun

*2015-06-24*

Fun questions but you must answer as fast as possible. A little stress is a good thing.

### 4/5 — Great educational tool

*2015-04-17*

This game is very good for reinforcement of information. It's combination of very difficult and very easy questions is good for a large audience. It is easy to use.

Awesome game

### 3/5 — Thx

*2014-10-21*

Thanks for the knowledge. Questions were worded weird.

### 4/5 — HC: CW Lite

*2014-06-28*

This game is a fun Civil War review and  resource. I thought that I knew about the Civil War, but I knew next to nothing before I used this! It has leader questions, like Jefferson Davis and Abraham Lincoln. Try using this with a group- have competions! !  I strongly recommend this game to anyone, any age!

### 4/5 — 4 Stars

*2014-06-16*

A good app with a good combination of easy and difficult questions, for anyone with a little Civil War knowledge. Might suggest a few more challenging questions. I may pay for the upgrade though

### 5/5 — Love it

*2014-04-12, version 1.1.2*

I love learning about the civil war. I found this app very interesting and full of facts

### 5/5 — Fun app

*2014-03-02, version 1.1.2*

Good questions, and rewarding for true Civil War buffs.

### 5/5 — Great!!

*2014-02-22, version 1.1.2*

### 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!

### 1/5 — One game of 20 ?? and then they repeat - don't bother

*2014-12-27*

You get one game of 20 questions before they try to get your $1.99 for more. If you say no and start a new game, it is the same 20 questions. It took longer to download the app than it took to answer them once.  I am deleting this app.

### 1/5 — Civil war lite history challenge

*2012-02-24, version 1.1.2*

This app has some very good qualities.  The questions are easy enough that you don't have to be a history Major to enjoy it.  It has easy instructions and is easy to play.  It teaches as you play the game.  The negative is that it doesn't score correctly.  It always says 10/20 no matter what your score really was.

### 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.

### 2/5 — Ahhhhhh

*2015-02-28*

Have to found a single question I don't know

### 2/5 — Good game needs update though

*2014-05-26, version 1.1.2*

Desperately needs updated. Good game, could use some polishing.

### 2/5 — A decent Beta

*2012-01-29, version 1.1.2*

Great idea and some nice questions (but they could use some more variety). Also you should provide a reference to where answers can be found so your players can learn and we don't have to take your word on the answer.
The one thing I really disliked was the photos never had any correlation to the quotes after each question. If you are displaying a quote from Longstreet, you shouldn't have a picture of some one like Sherman, for example.

### 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.

### 3/5 — Thought was going to be interesting but...

*2015-04-12*

So according to the description, this was written by a college professor. Upon reading that, I had high hopes for this test. Overall it's fairly accurate with "high school textbook material" however for a college level, it is not (thus making me question if this was really written by a college professor or a high school teacher). First question I got, pretty simple correct. Next question "what does the S in U. S Grant stand for?" This question is referencing Ulysses S. Grant, the last commander of Union forces for the duration of the war. His middle name is Samuel, which is one of the answer choices. Yet the correct answer is "Nothing"... Well, you won't be getting my money for the full version that's for sure!

### 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.  😳
