Ratings and reviews

Very good app, especially for Civil War buffs like me, but this takes up a lot of room... if it could be capable of being moved to the SD card, it would be perfect. Until then, as much as I love this, choices have to be made... and this one goes to the bench. ;(

This app is a great idea, but it's extremely difficult to follow troop movements with how their positions are colored. For example: Antietam Cornfield 6:00AM-7:00AM. Union is dark blue, Rebs are light red 6-6:30. 6:30-7, Union is light blue, Rebs are dark red. It would be much easier to keep track of if it were dark vs dark & light vs light. Trying to keep track of when which color was which shade & when they flip-flop, AND who was where, when is way too much info to process. Needs simplified.

it worked great until the last update. now the map doesn't display at all. have uninstalled and reinstalled to no avail. please fix this.
