Great History Resource – Flow of History Review

This is a very fluid, smooth and pleasurable to explore history. Perfect "companion app" for the Met's Ancient Civilizations exhibits. Really like the timeline and flow views side-by-side. And the quick hyperlinking encourages exploration. Bravo. One flaw prompting a star subtraction is the horrible approach to the body text readability. White text on black is ugly and difficult to read. One column in landscape mode is way too wide for good readability. Page orientation with wasted empty space and page numbers makes no sense on the iPad. Recommend black text on white background, 2-3 columns, and simple vertical "page flips" to go to next page. Since diagram text is already quite small, could also reduce body text size to offer much less scrolling, probably zero or just one page flip. With these improvements, 5th star awaits.
