What It Costs

The first 10 lessons are free - all of US 1.1 and all of US 1.2 - and so is everything else in the app: all 60 figure profiles, the whole glossary, all 20 quizzes, the case studies, spaced review, search, notes and the widgets.

One optional in-app purchase unlocks the remaining 90 lessons. It is a one-time purchase, not a subscription. It restores on your other devices signed in to the same Google Account. There are no ads and nothing else to buy.

Scope

This is a sourced American history survey. It covers contact and conquest, slavery, removal, Jim Crow, overseas empire, the World Wars, the Cold War, covert action, civil rights and the present. Case Files identify the documents and scholarship that support each account, and the curriculum distinguishes established records from questions historians still debate.

There is no video, discussion feed or in-app cloud sync. Active progress is stored on your device and may be included in Android backup or device transfer.
