Bringing together vivid paintings, first-hand accounts, multimedia presentations, and authentic documents, this app tells the complete story of the Revolution—from its causes to the final victory. Designed for iPhone, and iPad, REVOLUTIONARY WAR makes full use of Apple’s technology, including AirPlay support to share videos on Apple TV, and options to email or print text and presentations. The interactive map feature shows where every battle took place, bringing history to life. The app’s content is rich and comprehensive. Major sections include: Causes of the War, Major Battles and Events, over 200 Biographies, Myths and Stories, the Journals of the Continental Congress, Letters Between John and Abigail Adams, the Diary of the Revolution, Americans of the Revolutionary War Period, Economics during the War, and Documents of the Era. With full-text search, finding exactly what you need is faster than ever. New in this version: a dedicated Game Section! Test your knowledge of the Revolution in five exciting ways: • Order the Event – Put key moments of the Revolution in the correct timeline. • Identify the Person – Match names, faces, and roles of historical figures. • Map Challenge – Locate battles and events across the colonies. • Quote Challenge – Match famous quotes to the people who said them. • Word Search – Find and connect terms tied to Revolutionary history.

GUI not particularly well done

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.

Potential Unfulfilled

I bought this app with much anticipation and was much disappointed. While it is a decent account of the Revolutionary War, it does not fulfill its promise of taking advantage of the IPad's potential. The narratives are filled with misspellings, punctuation and grammar errors. This is not a good feature in a learning app. The interactive features use period paintings and engravings, but many of these are blurred and fuzzy. I hope future versions clean up those problems because this has the potential to be a decent learning tool. In the meantime, save your money.

I never rated an app before, but felt i had to in this case, was very excited to find this app after reading an article about it, but it turned out I wasted $5. Can't get the audio to work on the iPhone version, misspellings, blurry pics, in one shot it still says "main title" and "subtitle" instead of actually being filled in. I had high hopes for this, hopefully they take the negative ratings so far to heart and fix it soon.Huge American revolution buff, but hugely disappointed....

Totally rewritten code base that now includes full text search. A new game section that includes: Order the Event – Put key moments of the Revolution in the correct timeline. • Identify the Person – Match names, faces, and roles of historical figures. • Map Challenge – Locate battles and events across the colonies. • Quote Challenge – Match famous quotes to the people who said them. • Word Search – Find and connect terms tied to Revolutionary history.
