US Historical Documents

Although these documents are available from open sources, the app organizes them in a way that makes it easy to search for them and quickly display them. I don’t use it super often, but it’s the first place I look when I need one of the documents it includes. One minor quibble is that the formatting makes for slow reading. It’s straight text, kinda jammed together. I suspect (don’t really know) that it’s a result of the developer’s reliance on a database engine rather than on something like MS Word, which would allow for nicer formatting. But that’s a small thing. I’ve had this app for many years throughout its updates, and always make sure it’s downloaded to any new iOS device I’ve upgraded to.

Great way to learn US history. When I have a few minutes or just want a break. Beats spending time on social media. Want to set my adult and college-age children up with this. So happy to find this app!

Pay no attention to the negative comment left by George Orr, who was apparently seeking something entirely different and then downgraded it for not meeting his expectations. I found it to supply a rich collection of documents fundamental to the formation and understanding of the United States. Although the interface could be more made a bit flexible regarding things like font size and background, it is truly is a bargain for $.99.
