Community Review for United States History
My Take
This is a great way to incorporate technology into the classroom and study US history and locate documents and facts quickly and easily.
How I Use It

One issue that I did have was that it is an android app, so I did not have a lot of devices that ran android.

I do think it can be used at home or during a research project. It is also beneficial to teachers that just need more than what a district endorsed textbook provides.
