Customer Reviewsamazing... (5 stars)It's amazing how much information is packed into this app - and the presentation is stunning. I use it to show my daughter history (large-scale!) - and I'm learning a lot as well. If you are familiar with the NOVA series, this is very much like watching an interactive version of that. [Note: someone else reviewed this as "just a timeline" - it most certainly is NOT just that. At any point you can jump into the epoch to se It took a minute to discover it all... (5 stars) It falsely appears to be a mere timeline at first. It wasn't until I discovered I could click on the items as they emerged from the screen that I discovered all of the amazing video clips, facts, articles, and sideshows. A few careless errors in wording/grammar. Example: Big Bang section, item 4: Should be "resulted IN" not "resulted ON"... It's a shame to allow such careless errors to stain an otherwise perfect Underwhelmed (2 stars) Graphically nice, but it's nothing more than a timeline. Some information about the events would be a major improvement.
