I can't imagine anyone not being deeply affected by it. Full of information that can be viewed in all sorts of ways that really gives a sense of time in the universe, with clever attention to detail. Breathtaking. ### 5/5 — Love *2012-12-20, version 1.4* I completely love this app. Great feeling, the music is so beautiful. Easy to use understand. Please keep updating and adding more information. The more content you add to this app, the more and more popular it will become, because of how simple it s set out, it takes a very long and complicated story and makes it comprehend able. Thanks. ### 5/5 — Back in time *2012-07-28, version 1.2* This Apps is just marvelous and informative. Graphics are exceptional. ### 5/5 — Great but more *2012-07-22, version 1.2* This is app is a dream come true for history buffs out there (like me) but the app needs more content and events. ### 5/5 — WOW *2012-05-19, version 1.2* Such a beautiful app. Amazing photos, music.

It's moving, feel the world,think about the meaning of life! From this time, i think we should live for such a meaningful life! ### 5/5 — Back in time *2012-01-28, version 1.2* This is truly an amazing app. ### 5/5 — Back In Time App *2012-01-24, version 1.2* To all the people out there in App land I highly recommend this app. Don't let the price put you off it's well worth it. Go on treat yourself you know you want to. ### 5/5 — Back in Time *2012-01-14, version 1.2* A beautiful and informative app. I have found some minor errors (e.g., D-day in Europe was 6 June 1944, not 1943), but on the whole it is accurate and extremely well illustrated. ### 5/5 — It's amazing ~~~~~~ *2011-12-16, version 1.2* It's amazing app !!!!! So beautiful~It is really have a lot of content &detailing many aspects of knowledge on the Origin of Species, the images is awesome. I like it, cause i can learn a lot of knowledge, Just wish developers to keep adding new things.. ### 5/5 — Bake in Time *2011-12-11, version 1.2* Formed by the picture books and animation video applications, great screen, let you know in life, humans, and the whole universe development process. This is a great app, I like! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Underwhelming *2012-01-12, version 1.2* Ok, but relative to other apps overpriced...and not much content. ### 2/5 — Unable to play video *2021-01-09, version 2.1.7* Please resolve the video, I am unable to play any of the video, ### 2/5 — Could be lots, lots better *2013-04-07, version 1.5* Wind the clock backwards and forwards To go back and forth on a timeline. Trouble is there are no detail, there's no real history here just a timeline with certain picked events. Too bad. It could be so much better. ### 2/5 — I expected more *2012-04-06, version 1.2* This app is all text. Graphics are ok but for the price, I expected some video clips. ### 3/5 — Amazing but needs more historical content *2014-11-19, version 2.0* As a tech lead at our school we were going to purchase this for our 250 ipads because the earth history and time line tools were excellent. However, after trying it out for two weeks we decided to hold off for now. The primary reason is that the historical dates are simply too far apart. Entire civilizations are missing and there are huge jumps between entries. For example it skips from the age of discovery to the industrial revolution and then world war 1. Despite the price this would be a slam dunk if you were to take a hard look at a global history course and fill in some gaps. ### 3/5 — What have you done! *2013-12-19, version 2.0* I think the latest update is really good but the intro looks cheap.I used to love that clock face but now there is nothing to it.In my opinion I feel you have ruined a great app. ### 3/5 — Could be better *2011-09-23, version 1.1* This apps needs more interactive UI options for a better viewing pleasure ### 4/5 — Great reference for deep time; human history lopsided. *2021-03-05, version 2.1.7* So far I have browsed through most of the presentations on the history of the universe, the solar system, and early life on Earth, and this part is quite nice as a refresher on both the important details and the scale of time that we are able to glimpse in our brief lives. Human history, though, is already heavily Eurocentric: I have only gotten as far as the Neolithic Revolution in the Fertile Crescent, and already the app is only covering that portion of hominids whose history will lead directly to European History. We get to know Neanderthals, but not the Denisovans; likewise, we only see one Neolithic Revolution in one single “Cradle of Civilization” rather than the several separate but parallel Neolithic developments in East Asia or what came to be called the Americas. None of this is controversial. It is simply ignored. It is much too late even in Western narratives to make these kinds of omissions: this app is sold world-wide, is it not? At least it is useful for reviewing major deep time events, and I may keep it for that alone. But human history is not synonymous with European History. Quite a lost opportunity here, and extremely annoying. ### 4/5 — Novel, easy to use and well worth the money *2012-11-17, version 1.3* The authors have spent time on this app and it really rather works. To bring home the tricky concept of the relatively tiny amount of time we have existed is quite an achievement and the result is highly recommended. I didn't even mind the fact that I had to go to wikipedia once to get a definition, because, on reflection, learning to dig deeper is in itself good. Why not full marks, I'm not sure on reflection. Considering a printed book this good would be difficult to achieve, be more expensive and not as visually stunning, maybe I should give it 4.5 stars. ### 4/5 — Better with use *2011-11-15, version 1.1* 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. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great reference *2021-01-20, version 2.1.7* Brilliant and informative ### 5/5 — A Most Wonderful Trip! *2020-12-12, version 2.1.7* Very enjoyable. A great introduction to the history of the world! Will peak your interest to get you looking at life in a new, deep historical manner.Just buy it. ### 5/5 — Great app *2018-10-19, version 2.1.5* One of my favourite apps. Fascinating and a great way to spend a bit of time, very interesting and easy to use Don’t worry about the cost, it’s worth it ### 5/5 — Beautiful App. Makes you wonder. *2016-07-05, version 2.1.3* Awesome way of how to communicate and visualize time as it relates to life from the birth of the universe to today. Check out the last second and ponder. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2016-06-11, version 2.1.3* I have had this app since about 2011 and it's still one of the few original apps that are still on my iPad. It's just been updated to include the French Revolution....probably this app is much underestimated, a definite 5 stars! One of the other reviewers of the earlier version criticised the clock saying they preferred the look of the old one, a small point but I agree. ### 5/5 — Extremely Cool and Educational Too! *2013-10-08, version 1.6* I absolutely love this app! Visually stunning, and intellectually stimulating! This is a great app for anyone who wants to understand the history of our universe according to current scientific knowledge. If you have ever read Stephen Hawking's "A Brief History of Time" you will be familiar with the content of this app, as well as the quality. But this app is so much more than that excellent book (and not directly related in anyway, as far as I know) but it takes that type of information and presents it in a beautiful interface that is fun to use and with its most excellent background music, surprisingly soothing! Give to this app as a gift to anyone who appreciates history, science or just wants to learn! Perfect gift for students of probably sixth grade on up through college too! ### 5/5 — Incredible *2013-08-07, version 1.6* Im waiting the new upgrade! ### 5/5 — Très instructif *2013-06-06, version 1.5* J'ai pu aider mes enfants de 7 et 12 ans à trouver beaucoup de réponses à leurs questions avec cette application. Très bien faite et attrayante, et en français en plus! L'ajout d'animations vidéo et d'hyperliens pour en savoir plus permettrait de bonifier l'application. ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2013-03-26, version 1.5* Def my fav, I'm addicted to knowledge. The interface is phenomenal. ### 5/5 — Exceptional *2013-02-09, version 1.5* Curiosity made me purchase it, and I have no regrets. This app inspires one to learn more of our extraordinary history. With gentle music in the background, you will be lost in time. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
