The app went through a fairly major bug fix earlier this year to ensure stable performance. It has three out of five stars from users sending a message to developers that more improvements are still needed. Keep in mind this app requires iOS 7.0 or later to use.

A Large Amount of Content

One area the Civil War America’s Epic Struggle app isn’t suffering in is in the content as there is no shortage of information. What’s interesting about the content is the fact you’re given such a wide variety of media. It's a wonderful way to find such a large variety without having to spend time searching online for all of it. In that sense the app really excels. Some of the key battles this app covers are Bull Run, Fort Sumter, Gettysburg, West Virginia, and New Orleans.

Despite the variety of information here I do wish it was displayed in a bit more user-friendly of a manner. Going through the material can feel tedious at times.
