Sentimental and Brilliant

For studying purposes this app is very academically reliable. For personal purposes, this app touched my heart and made me very happy to know that the Armenian genocide is not forgot and can be accessibly remembered at any time. It’s sad how there is little to nothing we can do to change the past, but I feel by having apps like this to show that atrocities are very much real can hopefully teach future generations to appreciate peace and stability and exercise their freedoms of human rights.

Insightful & Informative

This app does much to shed light on one of the horrific acts in history. The timeline is a great way to show the evolution of events, but I wish there was a dictionary and more links to background information for those of us unfamiliar with certain terms. The app should be more fluid in its interface and it would help tremendously to provide more context, as in the WHY'S? Why were the persecuted chosen and how did they not see the treacherous nature of events unfolding after their leaders were killed? Some cultural context is necessary to truly understand and prevent such horror done by mankind.

Great App for Education

This app is a great educational tool. It provides good information about the Armenian Genocide. The map section is great because it shows what happened in each part of the country. The voices section is great because it provides first hand accounts of actual survivors of the genocide. It is always good to read about real people.
