Disappointed

This app didn't live up to my expectations. It says portrait or landscape is optional on the iPad, but it only works in portrait, I wouldn't have bought it otherwise. Also, none of the videos work, all I get is sound but no video. The app crashed on me after 2 minutes and if you click on the feedback button you can't return to the main menu, you have to close the app and reopen it. All these issues found in the first couple of minutes of use so what else am I going to find? Very disappointed.

Very poor

I bought this app for my 3G and found that the videos did not play which was the main reason for buying it. All the other info although interesting are just snippets from various sources.
I contacted the developers about the video issue and was advised that they work ok with GS or 4. That was a great help. I have asked for a refund but not received one. There is no indication on the site what devices are supported. This is the 1st app I have seen without this if there is any issues with older models.

Too many typos

Lots of information, reasonably well set out but - did no one proof read the text?
