Learn where they were from, the roles they played at the Constitutional Convention, and the offices they held in the new republic. KEYWORD SEARCH Basic search for words or phrases anywhere in the text. Now free for all users — use the search bar at the top of the Document or Signers list. UPGRADE FOR MORE "Constitution Explained" (optional in-app purchase) adds two study tools. “Ask about this” places common questions on every section of the Constitution — tap one to read a clear, plain-language explanation based on research by the Library of Congress. Question Search lets you type a question in your own words, like “Can the president declare war?”, and points you toward the parts your question relates to. Question Search runs entirely on your device and requires iOS 26+ with Apple Intelligence; the section explanations work on any device the app supports.* Nothing you type ever leaves your device, and no account is needed. One purchase covers both tools — no subscription and no recurring charge. Whether you're a student, a history buff, or a citizen who wants to know the law of the land, Constitution puts America's founding document at your fingertips. *Question Search uses on-device AI (Apple Intelligence) to match your question to a relevant section; all responses in this feature are educational information only, not legal advice, and may not reflect every court decision or every state's law.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Lurking at 5.0 against Constitution for iPhone's 3.7. Lurking also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). Constitution for iPhone's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (126 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
