### 1/5 — Exact dates only

*2025-12-18*

This is a terrible idea. I have to scroll to the exact date of an event, … and that’s it?! 
I want my dollar back. Deleting.

### 1/5 — Limited.

*2022-07-09*

This is a nice summary, but the quantity of covered topics are too limited and the quizzes cover the exact same questions each time.  Rather disappointing!

### 3/5 — Good app

*2020-11-16, version 1.4*

It helps situate important events on a time line.

### 4/5 — Worth the $

*2020-03-12, version 1.4*

Simple, fun & a good way of polishing up on your history knowledge

### 4/5 — Dates

*2019-08-23, version 1.4*

It has only dates!

### 5/5 — A creative way to get into history

*2018-11-01, version 1.4*

Excellent app for learning but I couldn’t find how you sourced this info - do we believe it all correct? I still enjoyed so much I bought the lot could do with more dates as an update . Very well done

### 3/5 — Bugs

*2018-03-05*

I like the game but when I added to my phone none of the books I have earned on the ap from the one on my iPad did not transfer. Very frustrating. I've already paid for several of the groups and will not pay again.

### 2/5 — Useful but could be much better

*2017-08-01, version 1.4*

Handy but could really do with a bit of duo-lingo-ifying to track your progress and teach you things by adapting rather than just testing. The sarky "your miles off" etc comments/feedback it gives you when you get an answer wrong are also intensely annoying and hardly encouraging, particularly when you're not actually too far off and making progress..

### 5/5 — Great app

*2016-12-06, version 1.4*

Easy to use ! Fun to learn . Each even is described after which is a big plus

### 5/5 — Great Way to Learn Key Dates

*2016-10-23, version 1.4*

Good app, could be even better though with even more dates added.
