JSTOR Labs Introduces “Understanding U.S. Constitution” App For iOS, Version 1.0 Now Available (Free Resource)

July 8, 2016 by Gary Price

The new app for iOS discussed below is the first app from JSTOR Labs in the iTunes App Store.
However, it’s one of several cool, interesting, and potentially useful apps from JSTOR Labs that can be found online and that you should take a look at.
All apps are free to access and use. Make sure to note JSTOR Snap. It’s one of a growing number of examples that utilize the camera as a search/discovery tool.
From the New App’s Web Site:

“Understanding the U.S. Constitution from JSTOR Labs” is a free research tool for high school and college-level teachers and students. The app provides a new way to explore the Constitution by linking every section of the text to the academic scholarship on JSTOR that quotes or cites it.

The app is free to download and use.
