The Fredericksburg Battle App is the perfect touring partner for your exploration of the Fredericksburg battlefield. Our GPS-enabled touring application will guide you through four detailed tours that cover the entire Civil War battlefield - from the initial fight for the town to the Union attack on Prospect Hill to the bloody repulses at the Sunken Road. Click on our various "virtual signs" to access accounts of the great events at the location where you are standing. Onboard historian videos, audio accounts of soldiers and civilians from the battle, animated maps, photos, orders of battle, chronologies, and key facts, and more are just a click away. Our detailed maps allow you to locate just where certain Union and Confederate units were during different phases of the battle. Never has so much valuable historical information been made available in such a portable device.
The Fredericksburg Battle App is the second offering in our expanding Battle App lineup. With this latest Battle App you will also find the following enhancements:
* Four different guided tours that will take you to every corner of the battlefield
* Animated maps that will show you how the various attacks unfolded
* The ability to either download or stream all the tour videos and audio
* Four detailed maps of the key regions of the battlefield
* The ability to show troop locations based on different phases of the battle

I live in Fredericksburg, and am always quick to criticize when I find anything about the Battle of Fredericksburg that I think is incorrect. This app is outstanding. I plan to purchase Gettysburg now, and the others as soon as they are release. Congratulations to everyone involved in producing this fine app.
An Excellent & Entertaining Tool

Fredericksburg is one of my favorite Civil War battles and I love to visit there as often as possible. This fantastic new tool really gives you a great understanding of the battle with detail and drama that one can usually only get from a personal guide--or by lugging your books to the battlefield. With its superb video and audio offerings, this app is second to none.
These are fantastic -- why is the price so low?

This is a great app to take with you on the battlefield -- videos from historians, letters and audio from people who were actually there, on the spot where you are standing -- but it is also great if you want to tour the battlefield from home! It's like having a bunch of the best books right in your phone. If you bought an old CD driving or walking tour of the battlefield, you might pay 20 bucks. To get this incredible amount of in-depth detail for $2.99 is a steal. I'm really looking forward to my next trip to Fredericksburg. Do More battlefields!!!
History+GPS+iPhone = Outstsnding

Along with the Gettysburg Battlefield app the Fredericksburg Battle app represents ground-breaking integration of history with GPS and iPhone technology to change the way we understand these battles. Thanks Civil War Trust for developing these apps
Well Done
Fan of History
Great tool for learning about the battle, even though I haven't had the opportunity to visit. It useful and informative even when sitting on my couch at home.
Jam-packed with info

Wonderful addition to walking tour and driving the area. We had taken the guided tour, then drove to other sites of the battle. We had our very own "tour guide" with us and played the audio accounts at each stop. Easy navigation; tons of great info; more than the posted sign info by far! Please keep developing these apps!
Useful and fun to use

Very pleased with this app. I'm an armchair Civil War and history buff, and this app was tremendously useful on my first visit to the battlefield and the surrounding areas in Fredericksburg. I wandered all day and never ran out of interesting things that I was clues into by this. The text, animated maps, videos by park service staff, and other multimedia features are great.
Fredericksburg and First Manassas Battlefields App

I have completed the 1st Bull Run app and done about half of the Fredericksburg one. Both are chock full information in different media that engages the amateur and academic user. I am impatiently waiting for the Malvern Hill and Chancellorsville apps. Great job! Paul R Stone, MA
