### 5/5 — Absolutely great

*2014-07-30*

This is how it's meant to be: multimedia storytelling at it's best. With tons of videos and photos, animated graphics, maps, charts. Plus an intelligent text. Go get it, it's worth the money.

### 5/5 — Great

*2014-07-03*

Absolute great app! But wehen will be there updates? It would be nice, to learn even more from history, especially when you can learn this way! 

World War 2 would be great too and maybe even all big events in human history. Keep up the brilliant work!

### 5/5 — How to do Storytelling!

*2014-04-14*

Usually I don’t write reviews but facing the amount of content in this app i’ll make an exception!
This app is huge! I honestly think that animations and content would fill normal sized history books without any problem. The text is well written and the animations fit perfectly into context without feeling „forced“, just for the sake of having fancy animations.
Good, quality product worth the money!
