"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 iPadOS 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.
If I had to complain it would be the Ads and lack of search tool as others have mentioned. Note: I say this without having used the App yet b/c those were two features I immediately contemplated: No Ads (not a big deal) & specifically wanting to search for parts in need for making reference to. (Funny, thought to self while this page loaded, "this better not cost a dime!?!..IT'S OUR constitution...NO ONE should profit"-(literally)...from it's proliferation to educate Americans or any other person who wants to learn about the longest successful (debatable) governing document. I understand the reason for Ads though. Maybe make another that one can pay for without the Ads. Maybe non-profit would be the moral way. Otherwise, great App, well designed & graphically appropriate!
Unusable
Baboon
On my iPad, if for instance you want to reference the 25th Amendment, it is ridiculously difficult. In the index list, all the entries are truncated so they can't be read. For instance, at the end of the list there are five entries in a row that look like "Amendment X...". So you have to guess which one is the 25th. But even when you choose one, you can't tell because the detail view does not have a heading. Stay away from this one.
Easy to read

Really great app, they separate the annotations and the actual constitution which is great. Also, very easy to look through and read.
