### 4/5 — Useful, clean, but a couple of gaps...

*2020-12-27*

If you're into Classics, particularly the history of th Greek city-state, this is the app for you.  A simple visualization of the location of all identified historical Greek city-states, spanning the historical period of their existence and the length of the Mediterranean and the Black Sea. While it has a good deal of data on the city-states, it lacks a data dictionary.  So while there's a "polisity" score, you can't find how that score is constructed.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your detailed review, it's much appreciated! It's true only a concise key of terms is provided. Users are invited to consult the references provided for complete details. 

Update 2025 - The data dictionary gap mentioned is narrowed with the latest release. Parameter definitions are more readily accessed and explanations have been deepened. Thanks again for your review!

### 4/5 — Nice concept. Here are some suggestions

*2020-09-02*

Hello. This app is really interesting and helpful for my studies. However there is some missing information on the polis. 
First thing that can be added is additional leagues for the polis. There were more then the Athenian and Koine league. 
You can also change the pin marks to be different colour to represent what league they belong to. 
Also, some further information on how you determine the level of ‘barbarian’ in these polis would be nice. What do you consider Greek and ‘barbarian’ in this case? Where do you draw the line? 

Thank you.

**Developer response:** Glad you like the app and thank you for your suggestions, I will take note of them. Regarding the content itself, to date I have stayed true to what is reported in "An Inventory of Archaic and Classical Poleis" by Hansen & Nielsen. Detailed definitions for each of the parameters presented in the app may be found there.
