Cory’s Review Design- Beautiful graphics through out. Rich colors and detail make it a delight to look at. Price- At $5.99 it is a bit steep for a reference App. You can find an Ebook for the same cost, I would have preferred to see it around $2.99. Subject Matter- (Complete layout below). This is where the App shines. The creator has put thought and consideration into what material to include. The information is enough to give you what you are looking for, if you are using it for reference. If your nee something robust for a research paper I’m afraid this won’t cut it. Very cool- The Tour of the Lodge is a 3D layout showing you views from many angles with descriptions of what you see in the Lodge room. The Map guide is a Google Map with built in markers for Grand Lodges, Museums and Libraries. A great travel companion. Not cool- The Map guide should have also included all Lodges not just Grand Lodges. That would have justified the price being a little high. Overall- A very good start for version 1 with some areas that can be approved on. For a very new Mason or a non Mason family member this can be helpful. For an experienced Mason this would prove to basic. Grade: B- Would recommend purchase based on amount of material provided with hopes of updates.
