  • Wonderful app!

    I've been searching and looking hard for a good app teaching history with fascinating illustrations and this is the one for me! I'm glad there is such an app and wish there would b more apps like this!
  • Applause to the Landka Team once again,

    I think it's amazing how something great has become even greater. My grandson thoroughly enjoyed the 1st version and I know he is going to LOVE this version because it's faster, more animation, more graphics and engaging. I applauded you!
  • Back In Time

    I can't adequately express the joy of having this app on my iPad. The average person just can't grasp how vast our history is, and how short a period of time we are here. I usually get glazed-over looks when I talk to my grandkids, but with your app there actually take notice and get engaged in a conversation. This is both a great teaching tool and a great tool for personal learning.

  • A+

    Astoundingly beautiful app - and the best example of experience design for education I've seen on this platform.
  • Better with use

    I have been buying a few interactive books for the iPad, and the video promoting this one makes it look great, but when using it the interactivity feels clunky compared to those about gems, solar systems and chemical elements. It gets better with familiarity.

    I like the way pictures go full size with touch, and the variety of facts keeps it fresh. It would be nice if one day these could be recharged without a whole app update

    A mute button in the corner would do. Apparently music issues are an ios5 pRob.

  • Great App for Everyone

    Everyone will find this app interesting, informative, and fun. Whether you enjoy earth sciences or not, this app has phenomenal information that no one will be able to resist loving. Great facts that make you think twice about life & Mother Earth. Only gripe: not the best grammar use, which can make some (and by some I mean one or two) sentences confusing. Pricy, but definitely worth it.

  • Beautiful Presentation - great for students and teachers of geology

    If you can't get to the New York Metropolitan Museum, and you want a clear, compelling, beautiful, presentation of the universe's timeline - you should spend some time with this app. I've taught science and geology at the high school and college under-graduate level, the textbooks and required curricula always seem to stress small facts about the names and dates of the fossil record. The students memorize the facts, but miss the scale and significance of Big Time. Students and teachers would do well to spend a few hours interacting with this presentation of the historical and geologic timeline. The bilingual presentation will make this material accessible to more students. Well done.

  • A superb tool for exploring the history of the universe

    This fine app with its excellent graphics and very readable and accurate content is just a fine resource for grasping the evolution of our universe and the timescale of events. I teach people of all age groups about the history of the solar system and the universe, and it is extraordinarily difficult for them to grasp the time scale and sequence of events over billions of years. Relating it all to a 24 hour time scale that everyone can understand solves this problem elegantly, and Back In Time does this in great fashion with the two clocks that give the user an understandable roadmap to the past.. Quite an accomplishment.! The graphics are superb, and the navigation is exciting and stimulating. Great job.

  • Very Well Done!

    Much of the imagery is stunning, the information is fascinating, the whole concept of the App is original and educational, and the music literally forces just the right mood on you. The one quibble is the writing - it's clear that the creators of this App were not natural English speakers, and though they (for the most part) do a reasonable job of presenting prose in acceptable English, it doesn't quite hold its own compared to the quality of the rest of the App. Overall, this is a beautiful creation, and more than worth its price.
