## What is KOKODA?

This is Kokoda like you’ve never seen it before. Hear and see the memorable and emotional interviews with the Aussie and Japanese survivors of the WWII jungle campaign and the remarkable Fuzzy Wuzzy Angels. 
Interactive 3D images show the terrain and the battle sites in groundbreaking graphic detail. 

Tilt or tap your iPad to swing the perspective from the Aussie Diggers’ positions to that of the Japanese. See the horrendous conditions: the steep terrain, the mud. Search the names of more than 2,000 Diggers killed.

Conceived by author Patrick Lindsay, the Kokoda app captures the spirit that was born at Gallipoli and came of age at Kokoda: a spirit of mateship, sacrifice, courage and endurance against overwhelming odds. It's a story that continues to inspire today. 

The Kokoda campaign turned back a Japanese invasion force bent on capturing Port Moresby by land. Had the invaders succeeded, Australia would have been at their mercy.

### 3/5 — Needs work

*2013-08-05*

I appreciate what they are trying to do, but hiring a professional app maker would do justice to this subject. This app had low res graphics and some features don't work. It deserves to be done better.

### 4/5 — Good app

*2013-02-16, version 1.0*

I really like this app; definitely fascinating. However, it could be better optimised for iPhone. For example, the time line is very hard to read. It would be fantastic if it supported retina display!

### 4/5 — Kokoda

*2012-11-07, version 1.0*

I am glad to have the History of Kokoda. Thank You,But I am having trouble with APP it freezers when rolling down the page. the It is only show in direction I can not turn it a round.

### 3/5 — App only orients in one direction

*2012-11-03, version 1.0*

First app I've downloaded that only allows me to read it in one direction - which happens to be one I don't use.  It's the wrong landscape orientation!

### 2/5 — Not bad.....

*2012-10-27, version 1.0*

The information was good, but getting to it was a hassle, half of the buttons took about 4 or 5 touches to get where the section is. Sorry guys, but that is very annoying.

### 5/5 — Kokoda app

*2012-10-25, version 1.0*

I love all the 3D stuff with the maps and the tactical perspectives but what really got to me was the interviews with survivors - Aussie and Japanese - that made history come alive. It put a very human face to war and the conditions, and that regret, humanity, fear and bravery, and the impact of war lives on in both sides of the conflict. I wish I had had this at school.

### 5/5 — Exceptional

*2012-10-24, version 1.0*

Historically accurate, great app.
