### 1/5 — Great app but video do not play

*2021-07-29*

The videos in the app do not show though the sound is running.

### 1/5 — Not all it claims to be

*2019-01-12*

The video clips are under a minute, the photos are a handful, the write-ups would be longer in an encyclopedia.  This app falls short of what it claims to be.  Glad I got it for free.  But still, too uninspiring to actually keep it on my device.

### 1/5 — Sound

*2019-01-11*

For some reason I have no sound on my iPad Pro 
Yet sound working on music

### 1/5 — A Whitewash

*2019-01-11, version 1.6*

Such an enormous amount of information to cover, this app hardly scratches the surface. Important symbols such as the swastika are completely whitewashed from this history; we see them almost daily in the hands of US citizens, why hide them from historical records? The truth of these crimes is ugly but needs to be seen in the historic record so that when it begins to occur again it is recognized. They could have done so much better.

Why are Axis leaders mixed in with Allied leaders? This seems a deliberate attempt to commingle heroism with the pure evil of white supremacy, making the entire purpose of the app questionable; at the very least it is sloppy.

### 5/5 — Outstanding Apps!!!!

*2017-07-30, version 1.5*

I own twelve of your apps, and they are all brilliant in every respect!  Simply outstanding quality!  Perfection.  Thank you.

### 5/5 — Fantastic!

*2014-12-24, version 1.5*

This is a great app to learn more about the war and has great pictures! If you need help finding where things are which I needed press the help button of course. I love the videos and pictures and very high detailed timeline! Great job I'm happy with the 5$ I just spent for this app! Thanks for this I was looking everywhere for one.

### 1/5 — Censorship

*2013-06-12, version 1.3*

If "most countries" can't deal with Nazi symbols, then censor the app in their country, not the U.S.A.

### 1/5 — Spineless

*2013-06-12, version 1.3*

No mature adult gravitates or approves of these symbols, but to omit them from the historical record is irresponsible. Thank goodness your competitors apps reflect more integrity.

### 1/5 — I Can't Believe the Censorship!

*2013-06-12, version 1.3*

This update ... eliminating symbols on a historical app ... did not the Nazi's themselves eliminate things that they did not like? This is crazy for this to happen to an historical app ... a five-star app now drops to one star or less. This is America .... Why not make the censorship mandatory on the other countries servers, not ours?

### 1/5 — Do NOT remove the Nazi symbols

*2013-06-12, version 1.3*

Folks, the Nazis existed.  The Holocaust happened.  Removing "Nazi symbols" will do NOTHING to change that.  I am so tired of people trying to rewrite history "so as not to offend anyone."  I'm half German and I look at World War II as a dark stain on my heritage but also take it as a lesson:  Evil MUST be confronted and STOPPED before it takes root and grows.  To try to lessen the impact of the Nazis' evil is to forget the lessons of history and risk that kind of hatred and intolerance coming back.
Put the swastikas and what-not back.  We must NEVER forget and NEVER let that evil come back.
