Unendlich viel Geschichte

Die App überzeugt mich! So viel Geschichte toll aufbereitet. Werde sie sicherlich noch öfter nutzen. Lerne immer wieder dazu.

Dates are confusing

As a new resident of Berlin, with international guests coming to visit me, this app looks promising for sharing stories. However, the dates (specifically years) assigned to events don’t seem correct. As an example, the Berliner Dom was not finished in 1933 in time for the Emperor’s 24th wedding anniversary — yet that year is the one pasted to the top of that article. By 1933, of course, there was no emperor and Hitler had risen to power. If at least the article has the correct year, one could overlook the error in the heading, but as it is, the app doesn’t provide that information. This is true of other dates, too. In short, a thorough editing of dates in this app is necessary, and until that is done, users will need to use Google or Wikipedia to find more accurate information….

Response from developer

Dear Sir, we could not detect the date you mentioned. Our entry about the Berlin Cathedral (Berliner Dom) is about a moment in history from 1905, which is also the year on top of the article. You might notice, that some of the entries feature more than one year. That is, if the place to visit has played an important role in the history of Berlin in multiple years. Simply choose the year you are interested in and find the according story below. Thank you for using our app. The ABOUT BERLIN Team

Was soll das sein?

schade…

Nicht zu empfehlen - eigentlich kein Stern… der eine nur, damit die Bewertung abgeschickt werden kann…
Ich habe zweimal versucht, die App zu installieren, neues iPhone und aktuellstes iOs. Herunterladen der App kein Problem, beim notwendigen Herunterladen der Bilder gabs kein Weiterkommen mehr, trotz jeweils zweistündigen Wartens. Sehr schade!!

So much information! Love it!

This is such a great resource and so well written (in English!) and presented that I just wish I’d found it sooner.

Slight problem: there’s a bug that seems to make the stories in the list appear as the wrong year. They’re all 31 years out. So, a story from 1929 will display as 1960, for example. Once you start reading the story it’s clear it’s in 1929, it’s just a little confusing at first.
