  • The best

    The best app!
  • Great Product!

    Used this app in class to study the geological history of Earth. It was extremely fascinating and informative. My brother Andrew Cloud and I had a blast learning about continental drift over time!
  • Great Reference

    I have become an avid layman geologist. This is a good reference when reading geological articles and referring back to geological time Periods.
  • 4.5 billion years of fun

    I just got sucked into this app for 3 hours, it's pretty rad. It's a little hard to control the timeline, but if you keep your finger on it and drag it slowly it works well enough. Adding extra layers doesn't seem to slow it down, which is nice. It's fun to pick a spot you know fairly well and zoom in, then watch it change over the eon. I haven't yet dug into all the features, but the night is young...

  • Absolutely Fantastic!

    A free app that shows the history of our Earth from 4.6 billion years ago to today. It really should be worth a fortune! There are charts and other fun features that shows where cities and countries were hundreds of millions of years ago! By far an invaluable app!
  • Help!

    The app will not open or close. I can not even delete it. It is dark and has been trying to open for days. I am not sure if it is effecting my iPad or not. Any help would be appreciated.

    Really superb app. Thank you.
  • If you want to know the history of the earth, get this app

    I've been looking for an app like this for years! A big thank you to Chris Scotese, the Paleomap project and to the Howard Hughes Institute for sponsoring the app.

    It's got (nearly) everything you could want from a map showing the changes that plate tectonics has made to our world: you can spin the globe and pan in on any area you are interested in; locate using present day cities; move backwards or forwards step by step or by letting the clock run. It even has a very sensible scale showing the geological eras against the timeline and an impressive list of catastrophes and events.

    It may need a few more health warnings as I'm sure some details will change as our understanding improves, but that's the nature of science.
