Hailed by the New York Times as "the best geography of the ancient world ever achieved" and deemed by classicist Bernard Knox to be "an indispensable tool for historians concerned with ancient times" as well ...
From time to time Asside this bug is an excellent reference work             Must be reinstalled VittorioPastelli
This is an absolutely phenomenal resource at a great price I also have the hardcover edition much more expensive but the app is even better because of the search capabilities Thanks                     Brilliant concept hope it is continually updated Theocritus125
The search gazetteer function mysteriously malfunctions after a while The only solution I ve found is to delete and reinstall the app Of course you lose your search history etc iOS 10 iPad Air and mini This was also an issue on ios7 clearly an application bug That aside this is an excellent resource             Requires periodic re installation diamantine
This was such a useful tool until the search function stopped working Without the gazetteer this is no longer worth getting So sad     It WAS great SAzcuy
The May 27 update finally fixed it Now it is a great app and worth every penny Highly recommended                     Finally works in iOS 8 Hiway87
Zooming all the way out of a map gives a white screen Poorly designed for the touch screen The font is stupid small and not adjustable Ridiculously over priced Don t care what the hard copy costs I WASTED 20 on this Sad     Nice idea poorly done Eriptron
App keeps crashing Cannot navigate any of the introduction without the app closing Should be an easy fix but I d advise others to wait until they address this bug     Seriously Flawed Cliffolina
This app has some wonderful maps that will be very helpful in my research and as a general reference for my work My main issue is that the app keeps crashing about three pages into the introduction I can search for places and use the maps fine but I also want to be able to actually use the introduction of the book as well It would also be great if they could include some bibliographic references             Useful resource but it keeps crashing Brydonea
I ll want to give you five stars for what this thing is which is an essential reference atlas for any classicist or for anyone with a passion for ancient history It s truly brilliant and we should applaud Princeton for publishing such a work at such an affordable price Unfortunately I am obliged to give it one star because as with other reviewers the app keeps crashing about 3 pages into the ebook function And that is the complete opposite of brilliant I m running the latest OS on an IPad2 Please fix this Princeton I want to read about what I m looking at     Amazing Resource But Keeps Crashing @mylatinteacher
The app crashes after viewing about 3 pages of the written text not the maps     Crashes in iOS8 HerbBauer
The first problem is a minor one searching a place can finding the relevant map is somewhat slow I don t mean there are a number of steps involved in that rather it takes a bit for the iPad to think its way through your search and find the correct maps The second problem is a major one if you search a place and that search yields the first map 1 Internum Mare as a result tapping that result will ALWAYS bring you to map 1a instead of map 1 This is a major problem since map 1a is a relatively minor map Fortunatae Insulae when compared to map 1 a map of the entire Mediterranean and its shores your standard map of the ancient world Other than those two complaints this is a great app and very convenient to boot It is much easier to have this atlas with me than to carry the large print edition around The price may be steep for your average app but the maps and information contained are worth the price                 Good overall but two problems Achilles Peleides
The Barrington Atlas is a classic book It is a spectacular atlas of the ancient Classical world and a reference that shows things you can t get easily or sometimes at all elsewhere The idea of having this big and expensive book turned into a portable and affordable e book was a fine one Making knowledge more available is a good thing But Princeton and the developers here are not presenting this as an e book they ve offered it as an application in iOS This looks like another potentially good idea imagine if the artificial boundaries imposed by the need for pagination in a physical book could be gone if the zoom function could actually take you in close at least to major cities and important historical sites if you could put two sections of the map into custom windows and juxtapose them or at least toggle back and forth between them and so on The only limitations on what could have been done were the imagination and budget of the developers Unfortunately those limitations appear to have been considerable What we are presented with is more or less an e book translation of the physical book blocked from being able to be displayed on a desktop Mac where some of its limitations could be tempered by the greater display size of the desktop by being presented as an app instead of as an e book Had Princeton chosen to do so it could have enhanced the contents of this book with the many resources available to iOS app developers Applications like the spectacular realizations of The Waste Land and Shakespeare Sonnets point towards what is possible Within the framework of the Barrington maps all sorts of information about the physical universe depicted in them would have been possible including more on topography climate perhaps even expanded maps of the major cities Rome Alexandria Constantinople Thessalonica the Greek City States etc It should be possible for example to take a virtual trip across the Via Egnatia and see the physical features of the landscape and the population centers along the way this would not necessarily have had to be an animation the information could have been in words story boards other image types etc The point of the original Barrington was to enable its users to have a reliable guide to the places and physical settings of long ago Within the limits of its time s technology it did a fine job of this Our time s technology is well past that of the book s creation and it is a shame that so little of it had a hand in this new rendering The original content of the book is faithfully delivered here although with inexplicably limited zooming and equally inexplicably awkward page to page navigation if you expand a page to look at it you must go back to the default zoom before you can page forward and at a fair price We should be grateful for that On the other hand as with so much in Classical History it seems that there were great opportunities presented that were ignored If you are a scholar or a student of this period this is a resource that you should have It s good for what it is but a mere shadow of what it could have been             An excellent book not well translated into software Chakwin
This set of maps has just what I was looking for a portable atlas of antiquity I can access easily My only gripe is the zoom does not go far enough On my iPad 2 I have to keep my fingers split to view detail                 Detailed Atlas of the Ancient World Zacctastic
