### 5/5 — Amazing

### 1/5 — Mario

*2020-04-24, version 1.2*

So this aPp is very good but i wish you could play mario with it so however made this is noob and mowon!

### 5/5 — 5 star

*2019-11-09, version 1.2*

Really good, highly recommended.

### 5/5 — Yay sound

*2019-06-07, version 1.2*

Sound!

### 4/5 — Very good, I even used it for my YouTube channel

*2018-06-16*

This app is very good. The graphics could improve, but other then that it is amazing! I used some of the diorama scenes for my YouTube channel History Boy, so you can check the scenes out there, before getting this app, if you wish. I would highly recommend this app for in and out of school learning.

### 1/5 — No sound

*2018-05-25, version 1.2*

No sound

### 4/5 — Good fun way to learn about how battles unfolded during the Great War.

*2017-09-18*

Good fun way to learn about how battles unfolded during the Great War. But I do not know how historically accurate it is and wish there was some more battles to look at. Overall pretty good

### 5/5 — AWESOME!!!!! REALLY COOL AND KNOWLEDGABLE!!!!

*2017-07-18, version 1.2*

Really nice documentaries! I love the visual maps and the way you can look around them. Lots of time and knowledge gone into this app and well done to the creators. I am planning on a Lego WW1 animation on Fromelles, so this is a great source of info, and helps me to be accurate on THE EXACT TIME that everything happened. (They have a little bar saying at what time the part happened that the documentary narrator says) :D

### 4/5 — Miss some old things, still great.

*2016-11-29*

I still think this is a great way to show an over view of the battles of WW1. I do miss how in the Gallipoli app, they had recreations of key events. But now they are separate as dioramas. These are still cool, but I still wish they had some scenes in the actual sequence of events. Still very good.

### 1/5 — This app is useless

*2016-09-02, version 1.1*

It tells you nothing and it's so boing to watch 
HATE IT
