This is a quick but thorough way to accomplish that goal. ### 5/5 — Worth the money *2015-02-08* Knowing the dates of scores of obscure events doesn't equate with real historical knowledge... but then again it kinda does. Many of us have seen "Braveheart" but few would realize that many years lie between the time of Wallace and the eventual success of The Bruce. Knowing dates represents the minimum necessary scaffold and this app does an admirable job of helping build a more complete picture of what came before. ### 5/5 — More than very good *2015-02-05, version 1.3.2* Educational entertaining and really enjoyable ### 4/5 — V good *2015-01-06, version 1.3.2* More content needed ### 4/5 — Historian *2014-12-20, version 1.3.2* Great app. Fun to read. ### 5/5 — Just Right *2014-11-23* I like trivia and history and this sweet little app is a nice amuse-bouche that blends them well. Each little book consists of a handful of date based questions. You only have to know the year, which is actually really nice. You get a mental timeline that's 95% of what you'd ever need and 1/3 the work. The little blurb on each event is nice too. ### 5/5 — Live it *2014-10-22, version 1.3.1* Educational and fun. Great time wasting app ### 5/5 — Fun *2014-09-24, version 1.3.1* It's a fun way to hammer in those dates ### 4/5 — Worth the money *2014-08-02, version 1.3.1* A fairly simple and enjoyable app, the history tidbits are interesting and create an appetite for learning, and the presentation is attractive. ### 5/5 — Great App! *2014-07-29, version 1.3.1* I have learned a tremendous amount from this app. Plus, it is fun! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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! ### 1/5 — Not what I thought *2014-12-25, version 1.3.2* I thought that there would be better then what it is. I also didn't expect to have to pay for quizzes. I should have just used Jetpunk via safari. ### 1/5 — Just as boring to play as it is to look at. *2014-01-03, version 1.2.2* If theres anything more annoying than that stupid double click sound effect its having to scroll left and right ten thousand times. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2013-01-23, version 1.2.2* Claims to be a history quiz app, but does not give any deep questions on the subject matter. All questions are merely to give the correct date of an event. Extremely boring. Don't waste your time if you actually want to be quizzed on your knowledge of history; all this tests is your rote memorization of dates. ### 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.. ### 3/5 — Good app *2020-11-16, version 1.4* It helps situate important events on a time line. ### 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. ### 3/5 — Entertaining *2014-08-31, version 1.3.1* It's fun and educative. ### 3/5 — Okay *2014-01-09, version 1.2.2* It includes an annoying sound but does not have settings that allow you to remove it. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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 ### 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. ### 5/5 — Let me be the first to review this app. Follow me on ig sunshyne_gyrl *2016-07-30, version 1.3.2* This app is awesome!!! You gain books by answering the quizzes. You get quizzed on history, and if answered correctly, you gain one book. In total, it's about 6 free book, but the rest you'll have to purchase in-app. All in all, I love it💕 ### 5/5 — Fascinating *2016-05-13, version 1.3.2* Super cool but, almost all the answers are dates and years so there could be some work to do to make it better ### 5/5 — Love it! *2016-04-12, version 1.3.2* I'm really liking the free version! ### 5/5 — Good app *2016-02-14, version 1.3.2* Very good App!!!! ### 5/5 — Great *2015-10-07, version 1.3.2* Learn while you have fun. A cool history quiz. Clear, concise & informative. I like it. ### 5/5 — History trivia *2015-09-01, version 1.3.2* Enjoying the challenge and learning a lot. ### 5/5 — Best ever *2015-05-04* My husband and I love history. We love to play this game together in the car when we are traveling. Highly recommend. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
