So far not so good

This is only a collection of a few photos -- four or five for each ship -- with a very poor historical summary of each ship that does not even give types or armament, thickness of armor, top speeds, number of officers and crew. One would expect at least deck-by-deck maps or layouts, but not even the main deck is shown. Maybe it will get better in future versions, but now it is not even worth the few pennies ..........

It does the job...

Yes, it could certainly be better but I give it 4 stars because it did the job it described. Very interesting, good pictures and well written histories. Yeah, you could get this in a book - but not at this price and a book is definitely not as easy to use.
Ultimately, I credit the developer for creating an app which brought me good information. Of course, if there were seven battleship apps out there I might not have given it four stars - but there ain't. If you want to learn about USN Battleships then this is the app.

A Work in Progress

I'm surprised there has not been an update to correct the obvious errors! This is a very promising effort but it needs work. BB 8 for example, shows up when BB60 is selected!

I would hope the authors are working on corrections - but let's go guys - send us the revisions as you make them.

My advice is to hold off on this one until we see if they are going to make a serious effort to correct the errors.
