Civil War in Color

This app didn't live up to my expectations. It says portrait or landscape is optional on the iPad, but it only works in portrait, I wouldn't have bought it otherwise. Also, none of the videos work, all I get is sound but no video. The app crashed on me after 2 minutes and if you click on the feedback button you can't return to the main menu, you have to close the app and reopen it. All these issues found in the first couple of minutes of use so what else am I going to find? Very disappointed.

Lots of information, reasonably well set out but - did no one proof read the text?

Very good with a lot of detail.Two drawbacks:- 1) No mention of the Enfield Rifle. 2) The maps are pretty but none functional.The whole ,however, more than compensates for these small deficiencies.

I bought this app for my 3G and found that the videos did not play which was the main reason for buying it. All the other info although interesting are just snippets from various sources. I contacted the developers about the video issue and was advised that they work ok with GS or 4. That was a great help. I have asked for a refund but not received one. There is no indication on the site what devices are supported. This is the 1st app I have seen without this if there is any issues with older models.

They destroyed the app by inserting common core crap. Foolish mistake, can no longer be counted on for accuracy.

The concept is a good one, but the execution is quite amature-ish. The content is not well laid out, and the multi-media presentations contain music that plays over top of the narration, making it impossible to understand what is being said. The animations are jerky, not well choreographed, and have photos inexplicably interspersed at the oddest moments, making the flow of presentations hard to follow. Some text is large enough to read easily. Other text is extremely small and very difficult to read with no option to zoom. Obvious that the app author cut and paste content from other sources in a hodge-podge presentation. Overally, content appears completely plagiarized for quick completion / quick sale. Seriously, appears as though a group of high school kids put this app together. Quite disappointing for the price.

Although slavery was one of the major issues of this war, very little is said about the African Americans in this conflict. In the section "Americans" many ethnic groups are represented, but not African Americans. This section should be updated to include that ethnic group.

I disagree. The app is worth something!!! But while there is a wealth of information in this app there isn't any font adjustment and some of the text font size is just stupid small. If you zoom the page the text doesn't reformat and it turns into a scroll-a-thon to read the text. Can not zoom individual images and zooming the page doesn't go far enough to see any details on many of the maps and images. Really poorly designed GUI.

There really isn't much to say except that the interface is horrible, info is disjointed and hard to read and this app isn't worth anything. I repeat. Anything.

A disappointing app for the price. A lot of information is provided, but it is basically in the form of a long book report that could just as easily be grabbed off of an online encyclopedia. I assume that much of the text is original writing for copyright issues, but some parts are amateurish... Battlefield maps are static and low resolution, and the pictures and limited videos look like publicly available snippets from an old PBS special. It's as if they took their 'Programming for Apple Devices 101' class, built the app, inserted some free content, and tried to fill-in the blanks. The app is not interactive and does not harness the power of the iPad. App would be okay as a not-so-quick reference substitute, or you could buy and actual eBook from a publisher.
