Description

“AMERICAN HISTORY: From the Explorers to the 21st Century” provides a complete in-depth presentation of American history, with hundreds of photos, dozens of videos. MultiEducator’s AMERICAN HISTORY contains entries on every major event in US history — starting with the Native Americans, before the arrival of European explorers; and currently ending with the impeachment of President Trump.

Major sections include: •Explorers •Colonies •Causes of the Revolutionary War •Revolutionary War •New Nation •War of 1812 •Antebellum America •Mexican-American War •Civil War •Reconstruction •Industrialization •Spanish-American War •World Stage •World War I •The Twenties •The Depression •Word War II •Postwar •The Korean War •The Sixties •The Vietnam War •End of the Millennium •Desert Storm •The 21st Century •War in Iraq and •The War in Afghanistan.

Every entry includes a short summary and longer narrative of the events and photos that can be enlarged. Many of the entries include a map location to better understand where the event took place.

You can access events through the program’s chronology, as well as the alphabetical listing, or from a map view. There is a special section on the Presidents.

The app also includes a quiz feature, with questions on each section of the program.

Our AMERICAN HISTORY app is over 30 years in the making, with the very first version released on 1 CD Rom (with sound) or 12 diskettes (without sound). Over the years, we have continually enhanced the content of our narrative by adding both textual material, and higher quality photos and videos. We will continue to do so going forward.

Good but I keep asking “Is that it?”

This app is good for a few reasons: it’s good at breaking down a lot of historical information into very bite size pieces so most people can get into and read bits of it whenever: on the toilet, on a walk, the elevator ride, etc. for more casual history intake, this is amazing! I also like how it has map pins so it can help you visualize “the world” an event took place in which can help immerse the reader. As someone who is studying history and loves it dearly, I just want more. I want more information, I want it to go more in depth. Where are the sources so I can read more? There’s much fewer videos than I was expecting. I do hope this app adds more in terms of historical content especially if i have to pay $5 for it. This app just seems somewhat dated. I am writing this in 2023 where all of the content on this app I could technically google for free and get more information. This app would’ve been great 10-20 years ago but just feels somewhat lacking by todays standards. Finally (and what made it 2 stars instead of three,) there are some usability issues. Some of the text goes off the screen and I am unable to scroll down further to read it. There’s no way to rotate the app or sharing the text to make it smaller or anything like that. For an app that costs money, these things at least NEED to be addressed. I’d love to give it more stars if and when they add more content AND their sources as well as iron out the usability issues. It’s a good app for casual history fans though (or to give fanaticism a starting point.)
