THE BRITISH MONARCHY

   
Free A royal bore.

Your phone's got 8GB of storage, 720p H D video recording and you can edit all your Microsoft Office documents on tho go. Bet you just wish it had an app to give you a bio of Edward VI whenever you needed it too, though, eh?.

Us neither. Still,The British Monarchy is waiting to be downloaded for free on the Android market. It displays a list of all the British monarchs, from 757 AD to today's House of Windsor. Selecting each takes you to a two or three paragraph bio on every Royal, even the ones that sound like they Just might be made up (ahem, King Ethelbert).
   

 A free portal to everything you could possibly wish to know about the British royal family.

You would be hard pressed to need more information about each UK monarch than the overviews included here. And for extra reading, there is an appendix of more Acts, speeches and Orders. Fascinating? Possibly. The presentation, though, is dull. No images are included in the layout, except for a couple of flags on the menu.

However, we are given an option of viewing plain text on a black or white background. All in all,The British Monarchy is just too dense for its own good.
